Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is one of the most reliable procedures that can provide shortterm high clinical success rates and long-term durable outcome. The surgery has been developed for more than 40 years and most of the clinical practices are standardized for the patient care. In the past, THA had been done by making a wound about 25 cm in length. Many surgeons believed that big wounds shou...

Abstract Background Of late, periarticular analgesic injection (PAI) has become a common alternative treatment for pain following total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, the systemic effects of PAI containing corticosteroids in patients subjected to THA have not been investigated. This study evaluated efficacy and corticosteroid THA. Methods single-center, retrospective cohort enrolled undergoin...

Tacrine (THA), used in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, is known to induce hepatotoxicity, the mechanisms of which remain to be fully established. We have previously shown that THA reduced intracellular glutathione concentration in rat hepatocytes in primary culture, thus pointing to a possible role for oxidative stress in THA toxicity. To test this, the effects of antioxidant molecules, n...

BACKGROUND Rotational acetabular osteotomy (RAO) is an effective joint-preserving surgical treatment for adulthood hip dysplasia (AHD). Despite sufficient correction of acetabular dysplasia, some patients still experience osteoarthritis (OA) progression and require total hip arthroplasty (THA). The purposes of the current study were to investigate the survival rate and the risk factors for OA p...

Background Surgical site irrigation during total hip (THA) and total knee (TKA) arthroplasty is a routine practice among orthopaedic surgeons to prevent periprosthetic joint infection. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) irrigation on infection rates following THA and TKA. Methods Arthroplasties performed before September 2014 served as contro...

BACKGROUND Venous thoromboembolism (VTE) is one of the most significant complications after hip surgeries. Many studies have been reported about the incidence of VTE after THA, but a small number of reports were found concerning Periacetabular osteotomy, Revision THA and Surgery for hip fracture postoperatively. Furthermore, there exists no comparative study of the incidence of VTE among major ...

Limb-length discrepancy following total hip arthroplasty (THA) is often cited as a reason for patient dissatisfaction and for hip instability. Various intraoperative techniques have been described to help restore normal limb length after THA. The purpose of this study was to assess whether a computer-navigated surgical technique would help restore limb-length equality following THA.A retrospect...
