background: intertrochanteric fracture is one of the most common fractures of the hip especially in the elderly with osteoporotic bones, usually due to low-energy trauma like simple falls. dynamic hip screw (dhs) is still considered the gold standard for treating intertrochanteric fractures by many. not many studies compare the dhs with proximal femoral nail (pfn), in type ii intertrochanteric ...

the current study was conducted in order to examine the effectiveness of shelf procedure in symptomatic adult patients due to hip dysplasia. this study is retrospective and was performed on patients who had undergone surgery by one orthopaedic surgical team during the past 20 years. twenty-three men and twenty-three women were enrolled in the study with a mean age of 29.3 years at the time of o...

Fifteen adult cases of uncemented total hip replacement were assessed clinically (by Harris Hip Score) and radiologically by serial radiographs and CT scan. In the postoperative Harris Hip Score the neck of femur groups and the arthritic hip groups had comparable results and uncemented total hip replacement gives acceptable results in otherwise disabling condition of hip. Prospective evaluation...

OBJECTIVE To compare responsiveness of the Harris Hip Score with generic measures (that is, the Short Form-36 (SF-36), and a test of walking speed and pain during walking) in patients with osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip. METHOD The first 75 cases within the population of a randomised clinical trial on manual therapy and exercise therapy were selected for secondary analysis. Experienced (self ...

ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION This paper aims to determine whether physiotherapy succeeds in improving the functional results (expressed by the Harris hip score) and the quality of life after primary total hip arthroplasty, especially in very elderly persons. MATERIAL AND METHOD A prospective study has followed up 100 patients with coxarthrosis, who underwent a primary total hip arthroplasty and w...

Patients with a workers' compensation claim have been shown to have inferior outcomes after various orthopedic procedures. In hip arthroscopy, good to excellent results have been shown in the athletic and prearthritic population in short-term and long-term follow-up. In the current study, the authors' hypothesis was that patients with a workers' compensation claim would have inferior outcomes a...

Background: Cementless hip prosthesis was designed to provide biologic fixation, without the use of cement. The second generation components have shown more reliable bone ingrowths and survival rates. We are reporting a midterm result of two designs of cementless prosthesis in a unique culture with different social habits and expectations.Methods: 52 primary cementless total hip arthroplasty in...
