Sexual activity at 1 year after total hip arthroplasty in Indian patients.

Purpose: This study aimed to report changes in sexual activity and related difficulties and concerns among Indian patients at the end of 1-year after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA).

Materials And Methods: A detailed questionnaire related to sexual difficulty, frequency, position, satisfaction, stress, and concerns pre- and postoperatively was administered through an in-person interview at 1-year post-THA.

Results: Preoperatively, 77% of patients reported difficulties in sexual activities, which reduced significantly (p < 0.

Primary Arthroplasty for Unstable and Failed Intertrochanteric Fractures: Role of Multi-Planar Trochanteric Wiring Technique.

Purpose: The primary objective of the current study is to demonstrate the trochanteric wiring technique. A secondary objective is to evaluate the clinico-radiological outcomes of use of the wiring technique during primary arthroplasty for treatment of unstable and failed intertrochanteric fractures.

Materials And Methods: A prospective study including follow-up of 127 patients with unstable and failed intertrochanteric fractures who underwent primary hip arthroplasty using novel multi-planar trochanteric wiring was conducted.

Total Hip Arthroplasty in the Severely Narrowed Femoral Canal by a Fibular Strut Using Knee Arthroscopic Tools: A Case Report and Technical Note.

A 58-year-old-male patient presented with worsening pain and restricted movements of his right hip after undergoing multiple procedures for treatment of an inter-trochanteric fracture. Secondary arthrosis and an incorporated intramedullary fibular cortical bone graft which caused severe narrowing of the medullary canal were observed by imaging. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) using knee arthroscopic tools was performed for preparation of the severely narrowed femoral canal.

Fatigue Failure of Outer Metal Dome of Bipolar Monoblock Shell in Hemiarthroplasty Hip: Case Report and Review of Literature.

Introduction: We report a rare case of transmural wear-through of the polyethylene inner liner leading to fatigue failure of polished outer metallic dome of bipolar monoblock shell in cemented hemiarthroplasty 5-years after the index surgery.

Case Presentation: A 62-year-old active man reported with 6 months of worsening right hip pain. He had undergone cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty for sub-capital fracture of the right femur 5 years back.

Predictors of 90-Day All-Cause Morbidity, Mortality and Poor Functional Outcome Scores Following Elective Total Knee Arthroplasty in a High-Volume Setting: A Prospective Cohort Study.

Background: The primary objective was to ascertain the predictors of 90-day all-cause morbidity, mortality and poor functional outcome scores following primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Material And Method: The study population comprised 3645 patients who underwent elective primary unilateral TKA at our institution. Demographic variables, Body Mass Index (BMI), American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grade and the Deyo-Charlson comorbidity scores were ascertained.

Compressive Femoral Mononeuropathy Secondary to Acetabular Labral Tear Associated With Paralabral Ganglion Cyst of an Osteoarthritic Hip: A Case Report.

Case: A 61-year-old man presented with a 5-year history of left hip pain and a 6-month history of left groin swelling associated with hypoesthesia and proximal muscle weakness. Radiograph of the left hip showed degenerative joint disease. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a large, anteriorly displaced paralabral cyst of the left hip joint.

Prevalence of Radiographic Morphology of Femoroacetabular Impingement in Indian Population: A Multicenter Study.

Background: Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is an overlooked entity in India, as primary osteoarthritis of hip is uncommon in Indian population. The purpose of this study is to find out the prevalence of radiographic morphology of FAI in young asymptomatic population in India.

Methods: This is a multicenter, cross-sectional study.

Hip arthroplasty in failed intertrochanteric fractures in elderly.

Background: Failed intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients are surgical challenge with limited options. Hip arthroplasty is a good salvage procedure even though it involves technical issues such as implant removal, bone loss, poor bone quality, trochanteric nonunion and difficulty of surgical exposure.

Materials And Methods: 30 patients of failed intertrochanteric fractures where hip arthroplasty was done between May 2008 and December 2011 were included in study.
