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, ...

Objectives: This retrospective study was designed to evaluate outcome of patients with coxarthrosis secondary to low grade hip dysplasia treated with large head Metal-on-Metal (MoM) hip arthroplasty. Patients and methods: Seventy–six dysplastic hips of sixty-six patients were managed with large head MoM cementless total hip arthroplasty and they had a mean of 51 months (range, 42-62 months) fol...

BACKGROUND Displaced fracture of the femoral neck has been a common clinical problem, especially in aged patients. However, the optimal treatment choice remains controversial. The purpose of this study is to conduct a systematic review of randomized clinical trials assessing the results of hemiarthroplasty and total hip replacement in patients undergoing either alternative using meta-analysis. ...
