Mobility of the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex (spinopelvic mobility) and sagittal spinal alignment - implications for surgeons performing hip arthroplasty.

Introduction: The optimal positioning of the hip prosthesis components is influenced by the mobility and balance of the spine. The present study classifies patients with pathology of the spino-pelvic-hip complex, showing possible methods of preventing hip dislocations after arthroplasty.

Hypothesis: Hip-Spine Classification helps arthroplasty surgeons to implant components in more patient-specific position.

An Analysis of the Preoperative Factors, Spinopelvic Mobility and Sagittal Spinal Alignment in Pre-THA Patients.

Hip arthroplasty is a very effective medical procedure. The optimal positioning of the components and the functioning of the endoprosthesis are influenced, among other things, by the mobility and balance of the spine. The aim of the study was to analyze the factors influencing the mobility of the lumbar-pelvic-iliac complex (spinopelvic mobility) together with the assessment of sagittal spinal alignment in patients prior to THA (total hip arthroplasty).

Is the Synovium the First Responder to Posttraumatic Knee Joint Stress? The Molecular Pathogenesis of Traumatic Cartilage Degeneration.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate if a similar catabolic and inflammatory gene pattern exists between the synovium, hyaline cartilage, and blood of patients with the knee joint tissues and if one precedes the other.

Design: A total of fifty-eight patients (34 females and 24 males) with a mean age of 44.7 years (range, 18-75) underwent elective knee arthroscopy due to previously diagnosed pathology.

Early Results of Total Cementless Hip Joint Arthroplasty with a Conical Screw Cup.

Background: With the development of hip arthroplasty, there are increasingly more indications for effective use of this surgical method. Endoprostheses are now being more and more commonly used in difficult cases of secondary coxarthrosis and in increasingly younger patients. The aim of this study is to present the early results of hip joint arthroplasty with the Zweymüller conical screw cup.
