Background and purpose - In-hospital death following total hip arthroplasty (THA) is related to comorbidity. The long-term effect of comorbidity on all-cause mortality is, however, unknown for this group of patients and it was investigated in this study. Patients and methods - We used data from the Swedish Hip Arthroplasty Register, linked to the National Patient Register from the National Boar...

Abstract Background Total hip arthroplasty (THA) for bony ankylosis is technically challenging in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). This study aimed to determine the mid-term results of bilateral synchronous THA AS. Methods Nineteen cases AS who received were included this (17 males and 2 females, mean age 49.2 years). Disease duration was 5–38 years (mean 18 6 months). All cementless ...

Concerns about the effects of global warming on crop yields have been raised due to stagnating yield progress in recent years. However, an understanding changes temperature and rainfall throughout cycle historical is lacking Europe (EU). In this study, positive wheat, barley, rice, maize EU (1961–2019) was significant, with rates 0.05, 0.04, 0.07 Tha?1year?1, for four crops respectively. Much h...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The use of hip arthroplasties is evidently increasing, but there are few published data on the incidence in young patients. METHODS We used data on total and resurfacing hip arthroplasties (THAs and RHAs) from the Finnish Arthroplasty Register and population data from Statistics Finland to analyze the incidences of THA and RHA in patients aged 30-59 years in Finland, fo...

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) has been shown to be highly effective in ameliorating pain and increasing function in adults with end stage arthritis of the hip. Early studies of cemented THA in children with advanced hip disease reported poor results, but, more recently, results of cementless THA show greatly improved outcomes. More recently, concerns related to THA in children have focused on we...

Conventional total hip arthroplasty in its many forms has been well established as a reliable procedure with predictable recovery. The high volume of procedures has allowed the incidences of the most common post-operative complications to be determined. Early complications vary widely by surgical approach and method of fixation, but generally include infection, dislocation, abductor morbidity, ...

Ultrasound-navigated cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA) was performed in 10 consecutive patients with primary osteoarthritis of the hip between August 2008 and October 2009 (M:F, 6:4; median age, 61 years; age range, 30-86 years). The pelvic orientation was defined by preoperative digitization and registration of bony landmarks. Cup inclination and anteversion were documented for each pati...

BACKGROUND Limited data is available regarding the pharmacological prophylaxis for venous thromboembolism (VTE) in Asian patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty or total hip arthroplasty (TKA/THA). METHODS We performed a population-based epidemiological study using the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service database to estimate the rate of pharmacological thromboprophylaxis and it...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to document the clinical and radiographic results of a consecutive series of patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) who had undergone bilaterally primary THA using non-cemented components. METHODS Twenty-six hips of 13 patients with bilateral ankylosis of the hip caused by AS were converted to THA from January 2000 to January 2008. The mean age of t...
