Acetabulum fractures caused by civilian firearms represent a unique challenge for orthopaedic surgeons. Treatment strategies should include the assessment of infection risk due to frequently associated abdominal injuries and maintenance of joint function. Still, internationally accepted treatment algorithms are not available. The aim of the study was to increase knowledge about civilian gunshot fractures of the
Introduction. The success of total hip replacement (THR) is closely linked to the positioning of the acetabular component. Malalignment increases rates of dislocation, impingement, acetabular migration, pelvic osteolysis, leg length discrepancy and polyethylene wear. Many surgeons orientate the cup to inherent anatomy of the
Although periacetabular osteotomies are widely used for the treatment of symptomatic acetabular dysplasia, the surgical outcomes after long term follow-up are still limited. Thus, we assessed hip survival and patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) at 20 years after the transposition osteotomy of
Background. CT-based navigation system in total hip arthroplasty(THA) is widely used to achieve accurate implant placement. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of initial error correction according to the differences in the shape of the
The success of total hip replacement (THR) is closely linked to the positioning of the acetabular component. Malalignment increases rates of dislocation, impingement, acetabular migration, pelvic osteolysis, leg length discrepancy and polyethylene wear. Many surgeons orientate the cup in the same anteversion and inclination as the inherent anatomy of the
Thirty-four patients were studied through the whole of the Perthes’ disease in Alder Hey Children’s Hospital, Liverpool. The acetabular changes included osteopaenia of the roof, irregularity of its contour, and decrease in the depth. These changes were proportional to the femoral head involvement. The purpose of the study was to know the effect of the morphological changes of the femoral head on the
The purpose of this study is to determine how the lateral shape of the
Purpose of the study: Reconstruction of the
Aims. Modular dual mobility (DM) prostheses in which a cobalt-chromium liner is inserted into a titanium acetabular shell (vs a monoblock acetabular component) have the advantage of allowing supplementary screw fixation, but the potential for corrosion between the liner and
Purpose: Coxa magna is well known in Perthes’ disease but a quantitative evaluation of the early, in particular cartilaginous, enlargement of the femoral head and the necessary adaptive changes of the
Introduction. Success of total hip replacement (THR) is closely linked to positioning of the acetabular component. Malalignment increases complication rates. Our aim was to describe the anteversion and inclination of the inherent
A secure bone/cement interface at the bone cement junction is an important requirement for the long-term success in the cemented hip arthroplasty. Cementing techniques have evolved and now involve pressurisation of the
Various assumptions must be made during total hip replacement when placing the acetabular component within the reamed
Purpose: The distribution of weight bearing area within the
The JRI cemented total hip replacement consisted of an
Fracture of the
The effects of NF-I on the hip have been underreported in literature. The bony changes in the hip can be mild to severe and are often present, but not diagnosed. Dislocation of the hip has been described but protrusio
As our understanding of hip function and disease improves, it is evident that the acetabular fossa has received little attention, despite it comprising over half of the
Previous work has demonstrated vulnerability of the femoral nerve to damage by anterior acetabular retractors during THA. The aim of this study was to quantify the proximity of the femoral nerve to the anterior
Purpose: The surgical approach is an essential element for precise reduction and rigid fixation of fractures of the
