Angiosarcoma around Hip Joint Prosthesis

Investigation of hip joint prosthesis damage.

Following total hip arthroplasty the durability of a prosthetic implant depends on many factors but is generally limited by two types of damage: wearing of frictional surfaces of the acetabular and femoral component as well as the loosening and migration of the "rosthesis-cement-bone" system. Since it is possible to establish a cause-and-effect relationship between these two damage types, the a...

Ultrasound-guided intervention around the hip joint.

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this article is to review some of the most common reasons for ultrasound intervention around the hip joint, and describe the techniques involved. CONCLUSION Ultrasound alleviates the need for exposure to radiation and is already the modality of choice for aspiration of the hip joint, an intervention that may be helpful in guiding antimicrobial therapy and help avoid t...

[Hip arthroscopy: differential diagnosis of pain around the hip joint].

Hip arthroscopy is one of the most highly evolving surgical techniques in recent years. It plays a major role in the diagnosis and treatment of a broad spectrum of hip pathologies. The evaluation of the painful hip requires meticulous history taking, elaborated physical examination, and basic and advanced imaging modalities. The differential diagnosis includes a continuously growing number of d...

Postoperative migration of short stem prosthesis of the hip joint.

BACKGROUND Hip replacement surgery is a popular procedure that provides predictable, long-lasting and good effects. The use of short stem prostheses helps preserve an intact medullary cavity and proximal diaphysis. It has been demonstrated that the use of short stem prostheses leads to better clinical results compared to standard stem prostheses. The study aimed to assess the migration of the s...
