Abstract Dual Mobility (DM) implants provide greater stability especially in Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty (R-THA) when compared to primary THA. Aim: identify the current evidence regarding outcomes of DM R-THA fixed-bearing (FB) implants. Review accordance with PRISMA guidelines. Structured electronic searches. Primary outcome measure: dislocation rate following R-THA. Secondary measures: im...

Gunshot injuries to the hip can be devastating, leading to posttraumatic arthritis and presenting a surgical challenge at the time of total hip arthroplasty (THA) due to the presence of metallic fragments and damaged soft tissues. However, there are few reports of gunshot-related posttraumatic arthritis. The purpose of this study was to describe the features and report the early outcomes of THA...

BACKGROUND All patients with total hip arthroplasty (THA), especially those with metal-on-metal (MM) THA, are exposed to metallic particles and ions, which may cause total or site-specific mortality. We analyzed the causes of total and site-specific mortality among a cohort of patients with MM and with metal-on-polyethylene (MP) THA after a long follow-up time. METHODS Standardized mortality ...

The therapeutic outcomes of Osteoarthritis (OA) has been unsatisfactory and often surgeries such as total hip arthroplasty (THA) is required. THA is an effective treatment for patients with end-stage arthritic hip conditions. Cemented THA has been the treatment of choice for elderly patients with OA. An improvement in Timed "Up and Go" (TUG) before surgery might contribute to a decrease in the ...

BACKGROUND We aimed to report outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA) in very young patients under the year of 30. METHODS Thirty patients (45 hips) with various indications for THA were retrospectively reviewed radiologically and clinically and analyzed regarding survival, reasons of failure, factors associated with outcomes and postoperative complications. RESULTS Within a mean follow-up...

IMPORTANCE Many proposals for health care reform incentivize patients to play a more active role in selecting health care providers on the basis of quality and price. While data on quality are increasingly available, availability of pricing data is uncertain. OBJECTIVE To examine whether we could obtain pricing data for a common elective surgical procedure, total hip arthroplasty (THA). DES...

Abstract Background Persistent pain after total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a real concern for the surgeon and significant cause of patient dissatisfaction; periprosthetic joint infection (PJI), aseptic loosening, instability are among common causes painful THA. However, few rare have been reported in literature; complex regional syndrome (CRPS) was to occur primary knee arthroplasties. Case pres...

Background and purpose - Femoral neck fractures (FNFs) are commonly treated with some kind of arthroplasty, but evidence on whether to use hemiarthroplasty (HA) or total hip arthroplasty (THA) is lacking. HA reduces the risk of dislocation, but may lead to acetabular erosion. THA implies longer surgery and increased bleeding. THA may result in better function and health-related quality of life,...

I n t r o d u c t i o n . In this paper, we s tudy the following quest ion: How long a cycle must there be in a 3-connected 3-regular graph on n vertices? For planar graphs this question goes back to T a i t [6], who conjectured tha t any planar 3-connected 3-regular graph is hamiltonian. T u t t e [7] disproved this conjecture by finding a counterexample on 46 vertices. Using Tu t t e ' s exam...
