Objective: To determine the improvement in Harris Hip Score after non-cemented total hip replacement in younger patients with secondary hip joint arthritis.
Methods: The quasi-experimental study was conducted at Unit I, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology, Mayo Hospital, Lahore, and comprised patients diagnosed clinically and radiologically as secondary hip joint arthritis from September 2009 to December 2014. Harris Hip Score was calculated pre-operatively. All patients were operated by the same surgical team. One dose of second-generation intravenous cephalosporin after test dose was given at induction of anaesthesia followed by 3 times daily postoperatively along with aminoglycosides twice daily for three days followed by oral quinolones for 2 weeks. Patients were followed up for 6 months. The improvement in hip score was classified as poor, fair, good and excellent. Data entry and analysis was done using SPSS 11.5.
Results: Of the 65 patients in the study, 43(66%) were male and 22(34%) were females. Right hip was involved in 40(62%) patients and 25(38%) had pathology in the left hip. Overall mean age of male and female patients was 35.69±5.55 years and 35.72±5.95 years respectively. Harris Hip score improved over 6 months from poor to fair.
Conclusions: The use of non-cemented total hip arthroplasty conferred a significant improvement in function in young patients with arthritis of the hip joint.

Arthroscopy
January 2025
American Hip Institute Research Foundation, Chicago, IL 60018. Electronic address:
Purpose: To identify sex-based differences in pathology, outcomes, and complications after hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), and to compare patient-reported outcomes (PRO) scores between males and females.
Methods: The PubMed and MEDLINE databases were searched in September 2024, according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Included studies had data stratified by sex, minimum 2-year patient reported outcome (PRO) scores for hip arthroscopy in the setting of FAI and labral pathology, and a 2014 or later publication date.

Electronic address:
Objective: This trial was aimed at investigating the effects of progressive functional training on hip mobility, lower-limb stability, quality of life, and hip complications in patients who have undergone jaw defect reconstruction using vascularized iliac flaps.
Methods: Patients who underwent reconstruction surgery with vascularized iliac flaps were randomly divided into control and training groups. The control group, according to routine nursing practice, only received activity and safety guidance after the operation.
Efficacy of small-diameter core decompression with platelet-rich plasma in early osteonecrosis of the femoral head: a retrospective study.
BMC Musculoskelet Disord
January 2025
Department of Orthopedics and Orthopedic Research Institute, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, People's Republic of China.
Background: Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a challenging condition, primarily affecting young and middle-aged individuals, which results in hip dysfunction and, ultimately, femoral head collapse. However, the comparative effectiveness of joint-preserving procedures, particularly in the early stages of ONFH (ARCO stage I or II), remains inconclusive. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of a novel technique called small-diameter core decompression (CD) combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP), for the treatment of early-stage ONFH.

In developing nations, patients often rely on traditional bone setters, leading to delayed diagnosis and increased complications. Adult hip dislocations carry a higher risk of avascular necrosis and require complex treatments.
