Hip Replacement Arthroplasty (Subscribe)

When revision hip surgery is undertaken to remove a cemented cup from the pelvis the preservation of bone stock and structural integrity of the acetabulum is a major concern. We describe a safe technique for cup removal, which helps avoid a rim fracture occurring during this procedure. This should ensure...

Objective: To report on a 30-year prospective study of deep infection in 1993 consecutive total hip arthroplasties performed by a single surgeon.
Conclusion: From 2–20 years, the incidence of deep infection doubled. Preoperative recognition of the first 4 risk factors permits the use of additional prophylactic measures. Spinal or epidural...

The purpose of our investigation was to compare a digital templating system to conventional templating techniques when preoperatively planning for total hip arthroplasty.
Conclusion: Digital preoperative templating is as reliable as conventional templating techniques.

occurs in 1-4% of primary THA and upto 16% in revision cases;
- about 74% of THR dislocations are posterior, 16% anterior, and 8% lateral; (from T.K. Cobb et al, 1996);
- most commonly caused by...

40-60% of THR patients who do not receive prophylaxis will get a DVT (dependment on imaging method);
in contrast, the study by Fender et al (JBJS 1997) showed that the incidence of fatal PE (as diagnosed by postmortem examination) was 4 / 2111 patients (0.19%);
