An acetabular paralabral cyst is a benign soft tissue cyst usually seen in association with a tear of the acetabular labrum. Acetabular paralabral cysts are often the cause of joint pain, but they rarely cause compression of the adjacent neurovascular structures. We present a case of a 63-year-old male patient who had paresis and atrophy of right hip adductor muscles. Right obturator neuropathy...

A dual mobility acetabular component has a structure that combines a polyethylene liner and a femoral head, unlike the general design of acetabular cups, making the dissociation of a polyethylene liner highly unlikely. In addition, it increases the range of motion and reduces the possibility of dislocations by increasing a jump distance. A fifty-one-year-old male who had received total hip arth...

OBJECTIVE To explore the treatment strategies and clinical effect of the acetabular malunion with traumatic arthritis by total hip arthroplasty. METHODOLOGY A retrospective analysis was conducted on 47 cases of acetabular malunion with traumatic arthritis from June 2000 to December 2009. All the patients underwent total hip arthroplasty with bone grafting or titanium cage for bone defect of t...

BACKGROUND Coxofemoral osteoarthritis is a chronic, disabling condition affecting people and dogs, with THA providing an excellent return to function in severely affected joints. The principal role of THA is to restore an adequate range of motion to the hip joint while transferring load from the acetabulum in order to improve the survival of the implant and enhance the limb function in the shor...

BACKGROUND The success of Bernese periacetabular osteotomy depends significantly on how extent the acetabular fragment can be corrected to its optimal position. This study was undertaken to investigate whether correcting the acetabular fragment into the so-called radiological "normal" range is the best choice for all developmental dysplasia of the hip with different severities of dysplasia from...

This retrospective study presents the mid-term outcome of polytrauma patients with pelvic ring and acetabular fractures operated using a modified Stoppa approach. We examined 32 patients (13 women and 19 men ; mean age 44 years) 24 to 40 months after the trauma. We performed a functional assessment of these patients using Majeed's score. Mean Majeed score was 86.9 +/- 8.22 with a range from 70 ...

THA was described as ‘‘The operation of the century’’ [13]. Despite success of the procedure for patients with idiopathic or traumatic degenerative arthritis, hip replacement for congenital dislocation or subluxation was controversial as late as the 1970s [3, 6, 8, 13]. Different anatomic characteristics observed on AP radiographs of the pelvis historically were used to assess the degree of ace...
