Total hip arthroplasty with bone grafts for protrusio acetabuli.

Background: This retrospective cohort study analyses the long-term outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA) in arthritis patients with various forms of acetabular protrusion.

Material: We analyse 135 consecutive cemented total hip arthroplasties in 127 patients. Mean age of the patients was 55.

Subvastus and medial parapatellar approaches in TKA: comparison of functional results.

The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical results of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in the early and late postoperative period using subvastus and medial parapatellar approach. A prospective randomized controlled study was conducted in a group of 169 patients (180 TKAs) with 2-year follow-up. Patients were divided into a study group (97 TKAs) with a subvastus approach and a control group (83 TKAs) with a parapatellar approach.

[Total hip arthroplasty in rheumatoid arthritis: results of 12-years follow-up].

Unlabelled: The aims of retrospective cohort study were: analysis of general and local factors, evaluation of clinical and radiographic results and presentation of authors' experience in total hip arthroplasty in rheumatoid arthritis. Study group consists of 222 consecutive total hip arthroplasties (205 cemented and 17 cementless) made in 216 patients. Mean patients' age was 58.

Clinical and radiographic evaluation of mechanical sufficiency of the operative treatment of pathological fractures in bone metastases.

Unlabelled: Background.

Aims: Retrospective evaluation of mechanical sufficiency of applied surgical methods of bone metastases treatment according to authors' own scoring system.
Material and methods.

Time of survival and quality of life of the patients operatively treated due to pathological fractures due to bone metastases.

Unlabelled: Background.

Aims Of The Study: 1) evaluation of the quality of life of the patients after surgical treatment of bone metastases, 2) evaluation of survival rate of the patients after surgical treatment of bone metastases,
3) presentation of the authors' clinical score system for evaluation of the treatment results of bone metastases, 4) analysis of general complications rate after surgical treatment of bone metastases.
Material and methods.

Reconstruction of large bone defects with arthroplasty in the treatment of bone tumors of the hip joint.

Background. In a retrospective study of the time of survival, the quality of life and the methods used to reconstruct large bone defects around the hip joint, we examined 13 patients treated surgically in our orthopedic ward between 1989 and 2004 for primary and secondary bone tumors. Material and methods.

Impact of preoperative knee deformity on the outcome of total knee replacement using the PFC system.

Backgrund. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the impact of preoperative knee deformity on TKR results and the effectiveness of unconstrained PFC systems in the correction of these deformities in knees affected by degenerative disease. Material and methods.

Anatomic and functional reconstruction of the joint in severe bone and ligamentous knee instability with semi-constrained systems of total knee replacement.

Background. The study was made to evaluate efficiency of semi-constrained systems of TKR in correction of severe bone and ligamentous instability in knee joint with degenerative disease. Material and methods.

Internal fixation with bone cement in reconstruction of bone defects due to bone metaseses.

Background. Retrospective evaluation of surgical technique, clinical and radiological results and mechanical sufficiency internal fixation with bone cement in treatment of bone defect due to metastatic lesions. Material and methods.

Total hip arthroplasty through a minimally invasive lateral approach--our experience and early results.

Aims: Evaluation of: 1. early clinical and radiographic results of total hip arthroplasty (THA) through a standard lateral direct approach, 2. early clinical and radiographic results of THA through a minimal lateral approach, 3.

[Effect of osteonecrosis on bone density and its management on the results of revision arthroplasty of the hip].

128 hips after revision arthroplasty in 115 patients which had been operated in our Ward in 1990-2001 were retrospectively evaluated. There were 99 women and 16 men with mean age: 68.9 years old.

[Acetabular bone grafting in primary total hip arthroplasty].

A group of 108 hips in 102 patients (81 females and 21 males; average age: 66.9 years) operated at our Centre between 1989 and 1998 was evaluated. There were 76 hips with idiopathic arthritis, 21 hips with rheumatoid arthritis, 2 hips with post-traumatic lesions and 9 cases of dysplastic arthritis of the hip.
