Partial resection of the posterior wall for hip dislocation in severe acetabular protrusio: a useful surgical option.

Aims: In elderly patients with osteoarthritis and protrusio who require arthroplasty, dislocation of the hip is difficult due to migration of the femoral head. Traditionally, neck osteotomy is performed in situ, so this is not always achieved. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to describe a partial resection of the posterior wall in severe protrusio.

Thromboprophylaxis for Hip Revision Arthroplasty: Can We Use the Recommendations for Primary Hip Surgery? A Cohort Study.

The risk of thromboembolic events after hip revision arthroplasty might be higher than in primary hip arthroplasty. However, evidence regarding the use of thromboprophylaxis in revisions is scarce. The purpose of this study is to determine whether thromboprophylaxis recommendations for primary arthroplasty produce similar results in hip revision arthroplasty.

Bilateral Hip Arthroplasty: When Is It Safe to Operate the Second Hip? A Systematic Review.

Introduction: Patients with degenerative hip disease frequently present with bilateral involvement that requires surgical management. The main goal when treating these patients is to achieve the maximum efficiency without increasing risk of perioperative complications; therefore, the decision regarding the best moment to operate the second hip becomes relevant. Although studies have addressed this topic, whether a simultaneous or staged surgery should be performed remains controversial.

[How to select a prosthesis for a primary hip replacement? Minimum acceptable survival: results of a consensus of experts].

Background: One of the most critical points in the planning of hip replacement surgeries is the selection of the implant, since its survival significantly impacts the patients health. However, the ideal survival time that an implant must prove to be selected has not been defined. The objective of this consensus is to define minimum performance standards for the selection of conventional primary hip replacement prosthesis.

Peri-articular injection of an analgesic mixture in primary total hip arthroplasty: an effective strategy for pain control during the first post-operative day.

Background: Previous studies of soft tissue infiltration in hip arthroplasty present variable results. The purpose of this study is to identify whether injection of an analgesic mixture improves pain management during the immediate post-operative period.

Materials And Methods: This cohort study compared 129 patients that received peri-articular soft tissue injection with 20 ml of 0.
