The aim of the study was to analyse the survivorship of 60 total hip arthroplasties using the cementless Lord prosthesis in 51 patients with inflammatory joint disease. Patients were operated on between the years 1985 and 1988. The mean follow-up time was 13.8 (4.0-18.6) years. During the follow-up, one deep infection was encountered, and seven patients died of causes unrelated to the hip replacement. Revision surgery or death of the patient was used as an end point. The overall survival was 88.1% [95% confidence interval (CI) 76.6-94.1] for the stem, and 64.3% (95% CI 50.6-75.1) for the cup at 15 years. Causes for revision surgery were loosening of the cup in 17 hips, loosening of both components in five hips, and one deep infection.

Purpose: To investigate the relationship between the cartilage acetabular index and acetabular development and secondary dysplasia.

Methods: A total of 58 hips underwent intraoperative arthrography-guided open reduction or limited open reduction due to developmental hip dysplasia between 2011 and 2015 was included in the study. We evaluated patients with acetabular angle 8º as group 2.

Identifying a Reliable Intra-articular Landmark to Avoid Vascular Injury During Transacetabular Screw Fixation: A 3D Computed Tomography Study.

J Am Acad Orthop Surg

September 2024

From the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Keck Medical Center of the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA (Ihn, Chung, Lovro, Patterson, Christ, and Heckmann), the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN (Chen), the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA (Tucker), and the Department of Radiology, Keck Medical Center of the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA (White, and Hwang).

Introduction: Vascular injury during acetabular screw fixation is a life-threatening complication of total hip arthroplasty. This study uses three-dimensional computed tomography to (1) measure absolute distance from the external iliac artery (EIA) to the acetabulum, (2) determine available bone stock along the EIA path, and (3) create a novel acetabular vascular risk map.

Methods: A retrospective radiographic study was conducted using three-dimensional CT.

Background: Complete blood cell count-based ratios (CBRs), including the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and monocyte-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), are inflammatory markers associated with postoperative morbidity. Given the link between the surgical stress response and complications after total joint arthroplasty (TJA), this study aimed to evaluate whether higher preoperative CBR values predict greater postoperative benefits associated with dexamethasone utilization.

Methods: The Premier Healthcare Database was queried for adult patients who underwent primary, elective total hip or knee arthroplasty (THA or TKA).

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess clinical and radiological outcome in patients after proximal hamstring tendon repair. We hypothesized that there is a significant correlation among subjective clinical outcome and interlimb asymmetries in muscle strength, fatty infiltration, and hamstring volume.

Methods: This retrospective monocentric case series included patients with surgical repair after proximal hamstring tendon rupture.
