Total hip replacement in young adults with hip dysplasia

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Dysplasia of the hip increases the risk of secondary degenerative change and subsequent total hip replacement. Here we report on age at diagnosis of dysplasia, previous treatment, and quality of life for patients born after 1967 and registered with a total hip replacement due to dysplasia in the Norwegian Arthroplasty Register. We also used the medical records to validate...

Obesity in total hip replacement.

A prospective, multi-centre study was carried out on 1421 total hip replacements between January 1999 and July 2007 to examine if obesity has an effect on clinical outcomes. The patients were categorised into three groups: non-obese (body mass index (BMI) < 30 kg/m(2)), obese (BMI 30 to 40 kg/m(2)) and morbidly obese (BMI > 40 kg/m(2)). The primary outcome measure was the change in Oxford hip s...
