Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the relationship between hip mobility and spinopelvic tilt, finding that higher hip movement (∆PFA ≥ 95°) significantly increases the risk of adverse spinopelvic mobility when transitioning from standing to seated positions.
  • 337 patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) were analyzed using x-rays to measure spinopelvic tilt (∆SPT) and pelvic femoral angle (∆PFA), demonstrating distinct differences in these measurements based on patient mobility levels.
  • Results indicate that patients with high hip mobility are at a much greater risk of experiencing significant spinopelvic mobility issues, suggesting the importance of assessing hip function before surgery to manage potential complications.

Purpose: This prospective clinical cohort was undertaken to determine the long-term risks of reinfection and all-cause aseptic failure after 1-stage exchange total knee arthroplasties (TKA) in a large series of consecutive patients with periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) following TKA.

Hypothesis: One-stage exchange for chronic PJI is an effective strategy, even in a non-selected population.

Patients And Methods: Non-selected patients (152 with 154 PJI) undergoing 1-stage-exchange TKA for PJI (January 2003-August 2015) were prospectively included and monitored for ≥2 years.

Introduction: The first results of cementless prosthesis were rather disappointing. However recent progress in methods of cementless fixation of prosthesis should lead to better results in terms of survival of these prostheses. The main objective is to compare the survival rate at last follow-up of UKA with cemented tibial or cementless.

Background: An important aspect of preoperative planning for total hip arthroplasty is templating. Although two-dimensional (2D) templating remains the gold standard, computerized tomography (CT)-based three-dimensional (3D) templating is a novel preoperative planning technique. This study aims to compare the accuracy of a 2D and 3D plan using an anterior approach for the placement of the same uncemented prosthesis.

Purpose: Although rare, fractures of ceramic components are difficult to revise, mainly due to the presence of residual ceramic debris that can cause catastrophic wear of the replacement components. Modern ceramic-on-ceramic bearings are suggested to improve outcomes of revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) for ceramic fractures. However, there are few published reports of mid-term outcomes of revision THA using ceramic-on-ceramic bearings.
