Effectiveness of Total Hip Arthroplasty Combined With Hip Braces for Hip Charcot Arthropathy.

Objective: Charcot arthropathy is characterized by varying degrees of sensory loss and rapidly progressive joint destruction. Historically, limited studies indicated that Charcot arthropathy of the hip joint may be a contraindication for total hip arthroplasty (THA). Yet, some recent studies have shown that good clinical results and acceptable survival rate.

Preliminary study of short-term outcomes and learning curves of robotic-assisted THA: comparison between closed platform robotic system and open platform robotic system.

Background: Both closed platform and open platform robotic-assisted total hip arthroplasty (THA) have recently been recommended as a viable treatment option for achieving accurate positioning of components. Yet, limited studies paid attention to the differences between the closed platform robotic system and the open platform robotic system. Hence, this study aimed to investigate clinical outcomes, radiographic outcomes, complication rates and learning curve of two systems.

Outcomes of dual mobility articulation total hip arthroplasty in ipsilateral residual poliomyelitis.

Background: Patients with poliomyelitis underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA) are known to be at higher risk of dislocation on account of muscular atrophy. This study aimed to investigate clinical outcomes, radiographic outcomes, complication rates, and survivorship of dual mobility THA in displaced femoral neck fractures of elderly with poliomyelitis.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively included 17 patients (17 hips) with residual poliomyelitis who underwent THA with dual mobility articulation.

The role of routine postoperative laboratory tests following hip hemiarthroplasty for an elderly femoral neck fracture.

Background: Performing postoperative laboratory tests following joint arthroplasty is a regular practice. However, the role of routine postoperative laboratory tests in primary hip arthroplasty is currently in doubt. This study aimed to assess the role of routine postoperative laboratory tests for femoral neck fractures in elderly patients who underwent hip hemiarthroplasty and to evaluate the risk factors for postoperative laboratory testing abnormalities and related interventions.

Hemiarthroplasty compared with internal fixation for treatment of nondisplaced femoral neck fractures in elderly patients: a retrospective study.

Introduction: Internal fixation (IF) with cannulated screws is the most widely accepted operation method for nondisplaced femoral neck fractures (FNFs) in elderly patients. However, there were higher rate of reoperation, severe complications and poorer functional outcomes reported in these patients treated with IF. The purpose of this research is to compare the prognosis, complications, reoperation and mortality of bipolar hemiarthroplasty (HA) with IF of cannulated screws in elderly patients.
