AIMS The primary aim of this study was to analyse the position of the acetabular and femoral components in total hip arthroplasty undertaken using an anterior surgical approach. PATIENTS AND METHODS In a prospective, single centre study, we used the EOS imaging system to analyse the position of components following THA performed via the anterior approach in 102 patients (103 hips) with a mean...

Background. Acetabular fractures are severe intra-articular injuries that require anatomical reposition and early function, but they often complicated by degenerative changes in both the acetabulum femoral head, leading to development of post-traumatic coxarthrosis. The purpose was study clinical effectiveness surgical treatment postoperative management patients using autologous platelet-rich p...

BACKGROUND Arthroscopic surgery of the hip is being increasingly used to diagnose and treat various abnormalities, including acetabular labral tears. Magnetic resonance arthrography has been suggested as the imaging test of choice for the evaluation of the acetabular labrum. There is substantial variability in the previously reported accuracy of magnetic resonance arthrography for diagnosing la...

BACKGROUND Deficient acetabula associated with acetabular dysplasia cause difficulty achieving adequate coverage of the acetabular component during THA. Autografting with the removed femoral head has been used for several decades to achieve better coverage, but the long-term benefits of this technique remain controversial, with some series reporting high rates of graft resorption and collapse. ...

BACKGROUND We investigated the rate of conversion to total hip arthroplasty by twenty years and radiographic findings at a minimum of twenty years after rotational acetabular osteotomy. METHODS Between June 1986 and August 1991, we performed 172 rotational acetabular osteotomies in 168 patients with acetabular dysplasia. Of those, ninety-three hips (ninety-one patients), including twenty-thre...

In the field of hip arthroplasties, the secondary fixation of the implants depends directly on the quality of the primary stability. A good acetabular fit and metaphyseal filling between the prostheses and implants improve the initial stabilization, and optimize the transmission of forces to the bone. A precise knowledge of the three-dimensional acetabular or femoral shape is essential to the s...

BACKGROUND The amount of patients referred with longstanding, non-arthritic hip pain is increasing, as are the treatment options. Left untreated hip dysplasia, acetabular retroversion and femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) may lead to osteoarthritis (OA). Finding the right treatment option for the right patient can be challenging in patients with non-arthritic hip pain. PURPOSE The purpose of...

OBJECTIVE To correlate the angles between the acetabulum and the proximal femur in symptomatic patients with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), using computed tomography (CT). METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 103 hips from 103 patients, using multislice CT to measure the acetabular age, acetabular version (in its supraequatorial portion and in its middle third), femoral neck version, cer...
