Discrepancy in leg length after total hip replacement has been associated with patient dissatisfaction. We prospectively studied 200 consecutive patients undergoing unilateral Charnley hip replacements to identify whether there is a demonstrable association between such disparity and postoperative function. Radiological measurements between defined points on the pelvis and femur of the operated...

The results of patients with rheumatoid arthritis who had revision hip arthroplasty have been studied infrequently. The purpose of this study was to review the authors' clinical and radiographic experiences and outcomes with revision hip arthroplasty. Revision total hip arthroplasties were done on 28 patients (30 hips). All hips had morselized bone grafting and four hips had bulk allografts for...

INTRODUCTION To evaluate the function, radiographic results and implant survival in patients younger than 21 years at the time of operation and with at least a 10-year follow-up, we reviewed the course of young adults who underwent total hip arthroplasty at McGill University Health Centre. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twelve patients (16 hips) met the criteria for inclusion in this study. They ranged...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiological results of total hip arthroplasty using a proximal modular femoral stem in patients who had secondary coxarthrosis associated with a dysplastic hip. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-two patients (45 hips) with secondary coxarthrosis were evaluated after undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty using an S-ROM proximal ...

OBJECTIVE To study the outcome of subtrochanteric hip fractures treated with proximal lateral femur locking plate. METHOD We retrospectively reviewed the clinical results of 48 cases of femoral subtrochanteric fractures treated with proximal lateral femur locking plates from January 2008 to May 2010. The progress of fracture healing, as well as the occurrence of complications, was recorded. T...

AIM The present paper aims to decipher the multiple factors occurring in patients on the recovery program, in order to obtain an optimal functional outcome after the implantation of a primary total hip prosthesis. MATERIAL AND METHOD One hundred patients operated with primary total hip prosthesis, consecutively included in this study, underwent an immediate postoperative recovery program, wit...

UNLABELLED Femoral head-neck junction osteochondroplasty is commonly used to treat femoroacetabular impingement, yet remodeling of the osteochondroplasty site is not well described. We therefore describe bony remodeling at the osteochondroplasty site and analyze clinical outcomes and complications associated with femoral osteochondroplasty. We retrospectively reviewed 135 patients (150 hips) wh...

BACKGROUND Postoperative pain relief can be achieved with various modalities. However, there are only few reports that have analyzed postoperative analgesic techniques in total hip arthroplasty patients. The aim of this retrospective study was to compare the postoperative outcomes of three different analgesic techniques after total hip arthroplasty. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the inf...

Cementless acetabular cups for primary total hip arthroplasty have had excellent results, with failure rates typically less than 5% at up to 10-year follow-up. Tritanium is a 3-dimensional metal interface that has been used for porous biological fixation. The purpose of this study was to review the clinical and radiographic results of the use of Tritanium cups (Stryker Orthopaedics, Mahwah, New...

Abstract Introduction The goal of treatment an intertrochanteric femoral fracture is restoration patient's mobility as early possible. dynamic hip screw (DHS) has been used for several decades to treat these fractures. Proximal nails (PFN) are reported have advantage in such This study aims at comparing the results unstable fractures femur treated with PFN and DHS. Method was a prospective, ran...
