AI Article Synopsis
- Diagnostic imaging is essential for screening and diagnosing hip dysplasia in dogs, with various techniques available, each having its pros and cons.
- Hip-extended radiography is the most common method, effective for screening and assessing osteoarthritis.
- Distraction radiographic methods like the PennHip method enhance the detection of hip laxity and can better predict future osteoarthritis, while advanced techniques like MRI, though costly and less accessible, offer improved evaluation of cartilage health.
Article Abstract
Diagnostic imaging is the principal method used to screen for and diagnose hip dysplasia in the canine patient. Multiple techniques are available, each having advantages, disadvantages, and limitations. Hip-extended radiography is the most used method and is best used as a screening tool and for assessment for osteoarthritis. Distraction radiographic methods such as the PennHip method allow for improved detection of laxity and improved ability to predict future osteoarthritis development. More advanced techniques such as MRI, although expensive and not widely available, may improve patient screening and allow for improved assessment of cartilage health.

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.

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Linkou, Taiwan.
Purpose: The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic delayed elective procedures such as total joint arthroplasty. As surgical volumes return to prepandemic levels, understanding the implications of COVID-19 becomes imperative. This study explored the effects of COVID-19 on the short-term outcomes of hip arthroplasty.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Kyoto City Hospital, Kyoto, Japan.
Case: We present 3 cases demonstrating radiographic posterior subluxation in lateral functional radiographs taken in the flexed-seated position. Two of the patients were asymptomatic, and 2 showed the posterior translation of the femoral head, which is almost a dislocation, with spontaneous reduction. The subluxation can occur not only in patients after lumbar fusion surgery but also in patients with relatively normal lumbar spine due to excessive hip flexion.
