Hip & Pelvis

We aimed to examine the outcomes of arthritic congenital dislocation of hip in adults after subtrochanteric shortening derotation osteotomy (SSDO) with cementless hip arthroplasty at a minimum follow-up period of five years. Bibliographic databases were searched and isolated studies were divided into three groups (1, 2, and 3) based on the femoral stem type (modular, monoblock, or mixed). We pooled 931 hips/737 patients from 20 studies. The mean difference in the Harris hip score (HHS) before and after the operation was 47.55 (95% confidence interval [CI] 43.16, 51.94). On subgroup analysis th...

Safety of Cement-augmented Femoral Cephalomedullary Nails: A Meta-analysis and Systematic Review

Trochanteric fractures of the femur pose an increasing burden for elderly people. The standard treatment for these types of fractures includes cephalomedullary nailing, which can be augmented with cement. Although many studies have reported on the stability of this augmented construct, few studies have examined its clinical benefit and safety. Therefore, the objective of this meta-analysis is to examine the perioperative complications and postoperative mortality associated with cement-augmented nails in the management of intertrochanteric and pertrochanteric fractures of the hip. A search of P...

Osteonecrosis following Steroid Therapy in COVID-19 Patients: An Outlook on the Emerging Problem

Steroids are used in management of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients with severe illness and their use has been demonstrated to decrease mortality. Although life-saving, steroids are well documented as risk factors for osteonecrosis. Osteonecrosis of the hip can be debilitating and surgery may be required to improve the quality of life. With the increasing number of COVID-19 cases, osteonecrosis of the hip and other joints resulting from steroid use is expected to show a sharp rise in the coming years. In this review we discuss the association between steroids and osteonecrosis, ind...

Evaluation of the Influence of Changes in Bone Mineral Density and Increases in Articular Cartilage Thickness on Blood Supply of the Femoral Head in Legg–Calvé–Perthes Disease

Purpose: Although the etiology of Legg–Calvé–Perthes disease (LCPD) is not well understood, based on a new theory, it may be caused by a decrease in the supply of blood to the femoral head. The objective of this study was to examine the effects of a decrease in bone mineral density (BMD) and an increase in thickness of articular cartilage on the supply of blood to the femoral head in this group of patients. Materials and Methods: This case study was based on a simulation analysis. Computed tomography scan images of a subject with Perthes disease were used to create a three-d...

Bibliometric Analysis of Dual Mobility Total Hip Arthroplasty

Purpose: For end stage arthritis of the hip joint, total hip arthroplasty (THA) is the treatment of choice. Dual mobility (DM) liner is an implant designed to provide enhanced stability. Long-term effects and implant survivability remain areas of active research despite modern advancements in increased jump distance and dislocation reductions. The aim of this study is to understand the current research landscape and emerging trends through a bibliometric analysis of DM THA. Materials and Methods: An analysis of THA DM publications from between 1982-2022 was conducted through an extensive revie...

Trends and Insights in Direct Anterior Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Comprehensive Bibliometric Analysis

Purpose: Total hip arthroplasty (THA), a commonly performed surgical procedure for management of end-stage osteoarthritis, is considered minimally invasive and the popularity of the direct anterior approach (DAA) is increasing. The objective of this study is to analyze the current literature on DAA THA through conduct of a comprehensive bibliometric analysis. Materials and Methods: A comprehensive search of the Web of Science Core Collection was conducted for identification of articles published between 1993 and 2022. Specific keywords associated with hip replacement and the anterior approach ...

Intravenous Injection of Tranexamic Acid in Patients with Pelvic Fractures: A Prospective Randomized Trial

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to examine the efficacy of intravenous injections of tranexamic acid (TXA) in reducing perioperative blood loss in patients scheduled for open reduction and internal fixation for pelvic fractures (Tile B and C). A study population with greater homogeneity was selected to minimize confounding variables related to fracture and fixation methods that may reflect an accurate result. Materials and Methods: A prospective randomized controlled trial including 100 patients who received either 15 mg/kg of TXA added to 40 mL saline twice separated by 3 hours interval ...

Finite Element Analysis of a New Acetabular Plate in the Combined Posterior Column and Posterior Acetabular Wall Fracture Model

Purpose: Fractures of the posterior column and posterior wall acetabulum are the most common pelvic fractures. In this study, we aimed to test the design of a new acetabular plate that combines the spring plate’s function and the plate’s reconstruction. This design should ease fixation and reduce surgery time, but is biomechanically untested. We analyzed this plate using finite element analysis (FEA). Materials and Methods: This observational study compares seven pelvic models: normal pelvis, posterior wall acetabular fracture, posterior column fracture, these two fractures combine...

Modified Transiliac Plating Technique for Complex Posterior Pelvic Ring Injuries

Pelvic ring injuries with rotational and translational instability are complex and often result from high-energy trauma, posing significant challenges in management. Internal fixation has emerged as the preferred approach, with traditional methods such as iliosacral screw fixation exhibiting drawbacks like implant-related morbidity and hardware complications. This paper presents a modified minimally invasive transiliac plating technique aimed at addressing these challenges. The surgical technique involves careful preoperative planning, precise patient positioning, and meticulous exposure of th...
