An 84-year-old woman who underwent bilateral cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA) for dysplastic osteoarthritis 22 years ago was subjected to analysis. A huge soft-tissue mass was revealed in her left medial thigh. Plain radiographs of the left hip joint revealed severe osteolysis around the stem, cup, and ischium. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a 25 × 14-cm multilobulated mass with a thick-walled pseudocapsule. Two-stage surgery was performed with resection of the mass followed by a subsequent revision THA. The mass was diagnosed as a chronic expanding hematoma through gross and histologic findings. Two years after the revision THA, there was no recurrence of a hematoma. Two-stage revision THA was useful for definitive diagnosis, and good functional recovery was obtained after surgery.

Background: Vitamin E-diffused highly cross-linked polyethylene (HXLPE/Vit E) is a relatively advanced material used in total hip arthroplasty (THA) but whether it shows superiority is unclear.
Objective: This meta-analysis was performed to investigate the effect of HXLPE/Vit E liners in THA.
Methods: Medline/PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library databases were searched to retrieve studies assessing the efficacy of HXLPE/Vit E liners in THA with the design of a randomized, controlled trial.

Background: The clinical and financial burden of revision total hip arthroplasty (rTHA) continues to grow. Therefore, further investigation is needed to characterize case volume, reason for failure, and postoperative complications. The purpose of this study was to characterize contemporary indications for and complications following rTHA.

Background: Intraoperative femoral fractures are a rare, but serious complication of primary total hip arthroplasty (THA), and little is known about the rates of complications and reoperations in these patients. The objective of this investigation was to describe the two-year outcomes and revision rates in patients who sustain an intraoperative femoral fracture during THA.
Methods: A large administrative claims database was queried for patients who sustained an intraoperative femoral fracture during primary and elective THA from 2015 to 2022.

Background: The relative advantages and disadvantages of 2-stage versus 1-stage management of infection following total hip arthroplasty (THA) are the current subject of intense debate. To understand the merits of each approach, detailed information on the short and, importantly, longer-term outcomes of each must be known. The purpose of the present study was to assess the long-term results of 2-stage exchange arthroplasty following THA in one of the largest series to date.

Background: As the use of robotics in total hip arthroplasty (THA) continues to gain popularity, differences in clinical outcomes when compared to manual techniques have remained unclear. This study aimed to compare postoperative complications between patients undergoing robotic-assisted techniques and manual THA for primary osteoarthritis at 90 days, 1 year, and 2 years.
Methods: Using an all-payer national database, we identified 405,048 patients who underwent either robotic-assisted or manual THA for primary osteoarthritis.
