Impaction bone grafting for acetabular reconstruction: mean 5.5-year results in Japanese patients.

Introduction: We performed a retrospective outcome study on 23 consecutive acetabular reconstructions involving impaction bone grafting in Japanese patients.

Method: Two hips had cavitary defects, and 21 hips had combined segmental and cavitary defects. The mid-term follow-up was performed at a mean of 5.

Quality of life after several treatments for osteoarthritis of the hip.

The purpose of this study was to examine quality of life (QOL) after a rotational acetabular osteotomy (RAO), primary total hip arthroplasty (THA), or conservative treatment (Conservative). A series of 147 patients with osteoarthritis of the hip were grouped according to treatment into the RAO group ( n = 62), THA group ( n = 40), and Conservative group ( n = 45) (treated with medication and rehabilitation alone). The mean age of the RAO group was 40 years, the THA group 54 years, and the Conservative group 50 years.
