Range of motion (ROM) of the hip joint after total hip arthroplasty (THA) could be increased by using a larger prosthetic femoral head, but it is not known whether the activities of daily living (ADL) are influenced by THA with different head sizes. Our objective was to compare postoperative ADL in patients who underwent THA using a head diameter of 26 mm or 32 mm. We assessed the range of motion and the mode of ADL after cementless primary THA. Comparison was performed between 25 joints of 24 patients who underwent THA with a 26-mm femoral head (26-mm group) and 24 joints of 20 patients with a 32-mm head (32-mm group). The postoperative range of flexion and abduction was significantly larger in the 32-mm group than in the 26-mm group. With respect to the mode of performing selected ADL such as putting on and removing pants, socks, and cutting toenails, many patients adopted the compensatory position of lumbar flexion with hip flexion plus knee extension in the 26-mm group, while a majority of the patients from the 32-mm group employed the mode of hip flexion with knee flexion. Patients with the 32-mm head showed better postoperative ADL of the ipsilateral side compared with the 26-mm head.

Association between acetabular coverage over femoral head and rate of joint space narrowing in non-arthritic hips.
Bone Jt Open

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Kyoto University Graduate School of Medicine, Kyoto, Japan.
Aims: This study was performed to investigate the association between the acetabular morphology and the joint space narrowing rate (JSNR) in the non-arthritic hip.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed standing whole-leg radiographs of patients who underwent knee arthroplasty from February 2012 to March 2020 at our institute. Patients with a history of hip surgery, Kellgren-Lawrence grade ≥ II hip osteoarthritis, or rheumatoid arthritis were excluded.
[Research progress on mechanisms and pharmacokinetics of ligustilide in treatment of locomotor system diseases].

Ligustilide, a phthalide compound extracted from Umbelliferae plants such as Angelica sinensis and Ligusticum chuanxiong, has been proven to possess various pharmacological activities, such as anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, anti-atherosclerosis, anti-ischemic stroke injury, and anti-Alzheimer's disease properties. In recent years, it has shown great potential, particularly in the treatment of locomotor system diseases. Studies have shown that ligustilide has significant therapeutic effects on various locomotor system diseases, including osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, femoral head necrosis, osteosarcoma, and muscle aging and injury.

Department of Pediatric Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Poznan University of Medical Sciences, Poznan, Poland.
Purpose: Our study aimed to present health-related quality of life (HRQL) after combined bone reconstruction in nonambulatory patients with cerebral palsy (CP) after at least a 2-year follow-up and to assess its impact on HRQL using the Caregiver Priorities and Child Health Index of Life with Disabilities questionnaire (CPCHILD) as the primary outcome measure.
Methods: In this prospective study, we analyzed 31 nonambulatory patients with spastic or mixed CP (GMFCS levels IV-V) who underwent hip reconstructive surgery between 2015 and 2021. The surgical procedures included one-sided varus derotation osteotomy of the femur with Dega transiliac osteotomy and, on the opposite side, varus derotation osteotomy (VDRO) of the femur with shortening and, as needed, Dega pelvic osteotomy.

Introduction: Aneurysmal Bone Cyst (ABC) is a benign, non neoplastic, expansile lesion of bone characterized by channels of blood and spaces separated by fibrous septae. ABC of femoral head is an extremely rare condition and is difficult to treat as the surgical approach is a dilemma .
Case Report: We hereby report a case of aneurysmal bone cyst in femoral head of a 19 year old female patient.
Is there an Increase in Total Hip Arthroplasty Due to Osteonecrosis of Femoral Head After Covid-19 Pandemic?: A Retrospective Study Among Patients in Central Karnataka, India.

Introduction: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection or corticosteroid usage during the COVID-19 pandemic as risk factors for avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head (osteonecrosis of the femoral head/femoral head AVN [FHAVN]), as well as its link to clinical and radiological outcomes, are poorly understood. Osteonecrosis, which results from a disruption in vascular supply to the femoral head, is a prevalent cause of hip joint deterioration and one of the most common reasons for total hip arthroplasty (THA)/total hip replacement in India and other Asian countries. This study will aid in understanding the condition's epidemiology and statistically determining the risk of disease related with pandemic exposure.
