AI Article Synopsis
- 82 female patients with varying degrees of hip dislocation were studied to evaluate clinical outcomes and quality of life using the EQ-5D questionnaire at 1-2 years and after a minimum of 12 years post-surgery.
- Patients reported high quality of life scores shortly after surgery, which, although decreased over time, remained significantly above baseline levels even after many years.
- Pain and range of motion showed significant improvement post-surgery, while functional scores declined with age, indicating that total hip arthroplasty greatly enhances long-term quality of life for patients with congenital hip dislocation.
Article Abstract
Eighty-two female patients with low dislocation (67 hips) or high dislocation (48 hips) were assessed using clinical scores and EQ-5D quality of life (QoL) questionnaire. Assessment was performed at the first to secondyear postoperatively and at the final follow-up, after a minimum of 12 years (12-37). Patients reported with a high EQ-5D health state VAS scale, VAS index and TTO index at 1 to 2 years follow-up (94,21/0,907/0,931) that remained considerably high despite the long-term follow-up (73,8/0,721/0,746). The scores for pain and range of motion presented with a statistically significant improvement at 1 to 2 years postoperatively and at the time of final follow-up. Function scores have declined with age. Total hip arthroplasty in CHD patients radically improves QoL for a long period of time.

High Rate of Complications With Early Conversion Hip Arthroplasty Following Fracture Treatment.
J Am Acad Orthop Surg Glob Res Rev
November 2024
From the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Rehabilitation Loyola University Health System, Maywood, IL (Dr. Grayson, Dr. Eikani, and Dr. Brown); and the Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine, Maywood, IL (Ms. Benson and Mr. Jozefowski).
Background: Conversion total hip arthroplasty (THA) is associated with higher rates of complications compared with primary THA, with prior surgical fixation of fractures in the ipsilateral hip shown to further increase these rates. There is a scarcity of literature on the effect of timing of conversion THA on complication rates. In this study, we evaluated early (≤6 months of index surgery) and late (>6 months of index surgery) conversion to THA following prior fixation of the proximal femur or acetabulum.

Objective: To determine the feasibility, yield, and safety of fluoroscopic-guided aspiration of the acutely dislocated total hip arthroplasty (AD-THA).
Materials And Methods: IRB-approved, retrospective review of fluoroscopic-guided aspirations of AD-THA (January 2005-December 2023) was performed. Data from electronic charts and fluoroscopy images/reports were obtained.

Theoretically, animals with longer hindlimbs are better jumpers, while those with shorter hindlimbs are better maneuverers. Yet experimental evidence of this relationship in mammals is lacking. We compared jump force and maneuverability in a lab population of Mongolian gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus).
