Aims

We assessed the long-term outcomes of a large cohort of patients who have undergone a periacetabular osteotomy (PAO), and sought to validate a patient satisfaction questionnaire for use in a PAO cohort.

Methods

All patients who had undergone a PAO from July 1998 to February 2013 were surveyed, with several patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and radiological measurements of preoperative acetabular dysplasia and postoperative correction also recorded. Patients were asked to rate their level of satisfaction with their operation in achieving pain relief, restoration of activities of daily living, ability to perform recreational activity, and their overall level of satisfaction with the procedure.

Aims

Brace treatment is the cornerstone of managing developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), yet there is a lack of evidence-based treatment protocols, which results in wide variations in practice. To resolve this, we have developed a comprehensive nonoperative treatment protocol conforming to published consensus principles, with well-defined a priori criteria for inclusion and successful treatment.

Methods

This was a single-centre, prospective, longitudinal cohort study of a consecutive series of infants with ultrasound-confirmed DDH who underwent a comprehensive nonoperative brace management protocol in a unified multidisciplinary clinic between January 2012 and December 2016 with five-year follow-up radiographs. The radiological outcomes were acetabular index-lateral edge (AI-L), acetabular index-sourcil (AI-S), centre-edge angle (CEA), acetabular depth ratio (ADR), International Hip Dysplasia Institute (IHDI) grade, and evidence of avascular necrosis (AVN). At five years, each hip was classified as normal (< 1 SD), borderline dysplastic (1 to 2 SDs), or dysplastic (> 2 SDs) based on validated radiological norm-referenced values.

Introduction: Arthroplasty is the most effective management of displaced intracapsular femoral neck fracture. Hemiarthroplasty (HEMI) is associated with acetabular erosion and loosening in mobile active patients and total hip arthroplasty (THA) with instability.

We sought to establish whether HEMI or THA gave better results in independent mobile patients with displaced femoral neck fracture.

Method: Eighty-one patients were randomised into two groups. One arm received a modular HEMI, the second a THA using the same femoral stem. Patients were followed for a mean of three years after surgery.

Results: After HEMI, eight patients died, two were revised to THA and there is intention to revise three. One patient had a Peri-prosthetic fracture. Mean walking distance was 1.08 miles and Oxford Hip Score (OHS) 22.5. Twenty patients (64.5% of survivors) had radiological evidence of acetabular erosion.

After THA, three patients died, three dislocated, one required revision. Mean walking distance was 2.23 miles and OHS was 18.8. There was no radiological evidence of polyethylene wear

Patients with THAs after three years walked further (p=0.039) and had a lower OHS (p=0.033).

Discussion: HEMI is associated with a higher actual and potential revision rate than THA because of acetabular erosion, higher OHS after three years and shorter walking distances.

THA is a preferable option to HEMI in independent mobile elderly patients with displaced intracapsular femoral neck fracture.
