Purpose

To evaluate the clinical and radiologic midterm results of rotational acetabular osteotomy (RAO) in incongruent hip joints.

Material and Methods

A consecutive series of 15 hips in 14 patients who underwent RAO in incongruent hip joint were evaluated at an average follow-up of 52.3 months (range from 36 to 101 months). The average age at operation was 27 years (range from 12 to 38 years) old. The preoperative diagnoses were developmental dysplasia in 4 hips, sequelae of Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease in 8 hips, and multiple epiphyseal dysplasia in 3 hips. The RAO procedures were combined with a femoral valgus oseotomy in 10 hips, advance osteotomy of greater trochanter in 4 hips, derotational osteotomy in 2 hips. Clinically, Harris hip score, range of motion, leg length discrepancy(LLD) and hip joint pain were evaluated. Radiological changes of anterior and lateral center-edge(CE) angle, acetabular roof angle, acetabular head index(AHI), ratio of body weight moment arm to abductor moment arm, and a progression of osteoarthritis were analyzed.

Purpose

The ultimate goal in total hip arthroplasty is not only to relieve the pain but also to restore original hip joint biomechanics. The average femoral neck-shaft angle(FNSA) in Korean tend to have more varus pattern. Since most of conventional femoral stems have relatively high, single, fixed neck shaft angle, it's not easy to restore vertical and horizontal offset exactly especially in Korean people. This study demonstrates the advantages of dual offset(especially high-offset) stem for restoring original biomechanics of hip joint during the total hip arthroplasty in Korean.

Materials and Methods

180 hips of 155 patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty using one of the standard(132°) or extended(127°) offset Accolade cementless stems were evaluated retrospectively. Offset of stem was chosen according to the patient's own FNSA in preoperative templating. In a morphometric study, neck-shaft angle of proximal femur, vertical offset and horizontal offset, abductor moment arm were measured on preoperative and postoperative both hip AP radiographs and the differences and correlation of each parameters, between operated hip and original non-operated hip which had no deformity (preoperative ipsilateral or postoperative contralateral hip), were analyzed.
