Background This study aimed to compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes of using two different oversized rasps in total hip arthroplasty (THA) with a composite beam cemented stem (DCM-J). Methods A consecutive series 105 hips underwent hybrid THA DCM-J between 2006 2010. Among patients minimum 10-year follow-up, 1.5-mm rasp was used 38 (group S), whereas 0.5-mm 36 M). The Japanese Orthope...

The activity demands of young patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) have not been clearly defined. University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) activity score, Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS), Short Form-12 version 2 (SF-12v2), and Functional Comorbidity Index (FCI) questionnaires were administered to 70 young patients who had undergone THA (young THA group; ie,...

Due to the high heterogeneity in outcome measures after total hip arthroplasty (THA), prospective observational study investigated relationships between symmetry-based (SBMs), performance-based (PBMs), and functional THA patients determine necessary or redundant categories of tests. The material consisted 24 with end-stage osteoarthritis scheduled for THA. were examined one day before surgery c...

Abstract Background Leg length (LL) and offset (OS) are important factors in total hip arthroplasty (THA). Because most LL OS callipers used THA depend on fixed points the pelvis femur, limb position could affect measurement error. This study was conducted a simulator to clarify effects of lower iliac pin errors determine permissible range for accurate measurement. Methods An instrument used. T...

We describe a case of femoral nerve palsy caused due to non-infective large iliopsoas bursitis after 10 years of cementless ceramic-on-metal THA. Bursectomy and exploration of femoral nerve were done to relieve the compressive symptoms of femoral nerve. Patient neurological symptoms were recovered within six months. Iliopsoas bursitis after THA can lead to anterior hip pain, lump in inguinal ar...


 Tha?bit b. Qurra (d. 288/901), a Sabian of H?arra?n, and his descendants remained in their ancestral religion for six generations. Why did they persist despite pressure to convert? This article argues that religious self-identification as could be distinct advantage Baghdad’s elite circles. It focuses on Tha?bit’s great-grandson Abu?

BACKGROUND Our purpose was to evaluate outcome following arthroscopic treatment of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) in middle-aged patients and to define risk factors for conversion to total hip arthroplasty (THA). METHODS This was a retrospective case series of 79 consecutive patients (40 to 65 years) undergoing arthroscopic treatment of FAI (follow-up ≥12 months). Outcome at follow-up was...

Both total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are deemed to be highly successful and cost-effective procedures for relieving pain and improving function. However, some studies have reported better pain relief and functional improvement after THA (Int J Technol Assess Health Care. 1997 Fall;13[4]:575-88, and J Arthroplasty. 1995 Dec;10[6]:742-7). It is certainly possible th...

Perioperative blood management remains a challenge during total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of this study was to systematically examine the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and perioperative blood transfusion during THA and TKA while attempting to resolve conflicting results in previously published studies. The authors retrospectively evaluate...

Background: Periprosthetic Joint Infection (PJI) is a dreadful complication of primary Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA). Following revision THA, up to 17% THA can be complicated with PJI. Three-stage should only done if simple debridement fails treat Here we present rare case persistent PJI, treated three-stage and bone grafting.Case Report: A thirty-seven-year-old female patient came chief complai...
