Objective: To present initial experience of the first 71 cases of cementless total hip replacement in Al Razi Hospital.
Subject And Methods: Between 1996 and 2004, total hip replacement was performed in 71 patients (40 male, 31 female, average age 40.7 years, range 17-74) using Zweymüller cementless prosthesis. The patients were followed clinically and radiologically over an average period of 36 months (range 6-84). The results were assessed according to Merle d'Aubigne clinical score. Radiological assessment included position of the implant, behavior of the prosthesis/bone interface and signs of osteointegration.
Results: Average clinical score during the 3 years' follow-up period was 17.8 points. Most of the implants were in optimal positions. No significant radiological modifications of the implant-bone interface were observed.
Conclusion: Zweymüller total hip prosthesis gives excellent clinical and radiological results in short-term follow-up.

Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy, University of Oradea, Oradea, Romania.
This study aimed to assess pain intensity in patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA) using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). The study was conducted between 2022 and 2023, enrolling 203 patients admitted to the Orthopedics Department. Participants self-reported their post-surgical pain 24 hours after THA by selecting a VAS rating that best represented their personal experience.

Study Design: Retrospective observational study.
Objective: To evaluate whether the combined American Spine Registry and Medicare (ASR/CMS) data yields substantially different findings versus ASR data alone with regard to key parameters such as risk stratification, complication rates and readmission rates in lumbar surgery investigated through an analysis of 8,755 spondylolisthesis cases.
Summary Of Background Data: Medicare data correlation has been effective for determining revision rates for other procedures such as total hip replacement.
Simultaneous total hip and knee arthroplasties in hemophilic arthropathy: series of 5 cases.

Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Ege University School of Medicine, Izmir, Türkiye.
Objective: This study aimed to compare preoperative and postoperative measures in haemophiliacs who had simultaneous total hip and knee arthroplasties.
Methods: A retrospective database search identified five patients with severe factor 8 deficiencies who underwent simultaneous hip and knee joint replacement surgery between 2002-2018. Preoperative and postoperative evaluations included Harris Hip Score (HHS), Knee Society Score (KSS), Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), range of motion, flexion contracture (FC), Visual Analog Scale (VAS), hip-knee angle, and leg length discrepancy.
Psychometric properties of the Arabic version of the Forgotten Joint Score usage in total hip arthroplasty.

College of Medicine, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Background: The ultimate goal of arthroplasty is thought to be the ability to "forget" a joint implant in daily activities. The Forgotten Joint Score (FJS-12), a score system that evaluates how much patients have been able to forget their hip or knee prosthesis, was recently published. It is based on a self-administered questionnaire that consists of 12 items.

Objectives: To determine the influence of obesity on revision rates and mortality after primary elective hip and knee arthroplasty in Germany.
Materials And Methods: In the German Arthroplasty Registry (EPRD) there were 403,073 elective total hip arthroplasties (THA), 320,913 bicondylar total knee arthroplasties (TKA) and 48,480 unicondylar knee arthroplasties (UKA) with valid BMI available for analysis. Cumulative revision rates and 1‑year mortality was calculated for BMI groups.
