Background: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) involving shortening osteotomy for patients with Crowe type 3 or 4 dysplasia is a challenging surgical procedure. This study aims to demonstrate that rectangular femoral component use in anatomical reconstructions with THA and transverse shortening osteotomy yields successful results without the use of bone graft or any fixation material at the osteotomy site.

Methods: Fifty hips from 41 patients were identified retrospectively as per study objectives.

The effect of previous pelvic or proximal femoral osteotomy on the outcomes of total hip arthroplasty in patients with dysplastic coxarthrosis.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate whether a history of a pelvic osteotomy or proximal femoral osteotomy compromises the outcomes of total hip arthroplasty in patients with dysplastic coxarthrosis.

Methods: The results of total hip arthroplasty in 240 hips of 172 patients without previous pelvic osteotomy or proximal femoral osteotomy were compared to 118 hips of 88 patients with a previous pelvic osteotomy or proximal femoral osteotomy (osteotomy group). Technical difficulties and rates of complications during surgery, operative time, estimated blood loss, rates of postoperative complications, and pre- and postoperative Harris Hip Scores and visual analog scale pain scores were compared between the two groups.

Bilateral High Hip Center Provides Gait Parameters Similar to Anatomical Reconstruction: A Gait Analysis Study in Hip Replacement Patients With Bilateral Developmental Dysplasia.

Background: Total hip arthroplasty in severe dysplasia is challenging due to diminished periacetabular bone stock and the highly placed femoral head. Although anatomical reconstruction of the hip, with required interventions such as subtrochanteric osteotomy and graft usage, is the main aim of the procedure, good long-term clinical outcomes of the high hip center technique have also been reported. Information regarding the effect of hip center placement on gait characteristics is limited; therefore, the aim of this study is to analyze the differences in gait parameters between the high hip center technique and anatomical reconstruction of the hip.

Artificial oocyte activation with calcium ionophore for frozen sperm cycles.

Unlabelled: Fertilization problems are the major problems that may be faced in 30-55% of the patients during an intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycle. A successful oocyte activation depends on factors related to both sperm and oocyte, and one of the important factors that mediates the process is Ca concentration within the oocyte. Artificial oocyte activation (AOA) is a method used for fertilization problems that commonly involve the usage of Ca ionophores and is usually used in problems such as total fertilization failure (TFF) and globozoospermia.
