Radiologic Predictors for Clinical Improvement in PAO-A Perspective Study.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of surgical treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) with periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) and determine the values of radiological parameters that would allow us to obtain an optimal clinical result. Radiological evaluation included determining the center-edge angle (CEA), medialization, distalization, femoral head coverage (FHC), and ilioischial angle as measured on a standardized AP radiograph of the hip joints. Clinical evaluation was based on the HHS, WOMAC, Merle d'Aubigne-Postel scales and Hip Lag Sign.

Periprosthetic Joint Infections Caused by Species-A Single-Center Experience and Systematic Review of the Literature.

Background: The aim of this study was to analyze the treatment results of fungal periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) caused by species from a single orthopedic center and to compare them with reports from other institutions.

Methods: Eight patients operated on from January 2014 to December 2021 met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed in terms of clinical outcomes. A systematic review of the literature identified 153 patients with PJIs extracted from 12 studies according to the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Item for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines.

Hip dysplasia in adolescence: osteotomy in childhood improves the results of periacetabular osteotomy in adolescents and young adults : a prospective study.

Aims: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) describes a pathological relationship between the femoral head and acetabulum. Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) may be used to treat this condition. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of PAO in adolescents and adults with persistent DDH.

Femoroacetabular impingement in the unpinned contralateral hip in patients with primary unilateral slipped capital femoral epiphysis: preliminary radiographic outcomes.

The study evaluated femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) in the unpinned contralateral hip in patients with unilateral slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) and verified initial age, posterior sloping angle (PSA) and center-edge angle (CEA) as predictors of FAI in the contralateral hip. 152 patients with unilateral SCFE with a mean index age of 13.2 years (8.
