Aims. The aims of this study were to validate the Forgotten Joint Score-12 (FJS-12) in the postoperative evaluation of periacetabular osteotomy (PAO), identify factors associated with joint awareness after PAO, and determine the FJS-12 threshold for patient-acceptable symptom state (PASS). Methods. Data from 686 patients (882 hips) with
In this prospective study a total of 80 consecutive
Chinese patients with Crowe type I or II developmental dysplasia of
the hip were randomly assigned for hip resurfacing arthroplasty
(HRA) or total hip replacement (THR). Three patients assigned to HRA were converted to THR, and three
HRA patients and two THR patients were lost to follow-up. This left
a total of 34 patients (37 hips) who underwent HRA and 38 (39 hips)
who underwent THR. The mean follow-up was 59.4 months (52 to 70)
in the HRA group and 60.6 months (50 to 72) in the THR group. There was
no failure of the prosthesis in either group. Flexion of the hip
was significantly better after HRA, but there was no difference
in the mean post-operative Harris hip scores between the groups.
The mean size of the acetabular component in the HRA group was significantly
larger than in the THR group (49.5 mm vs 46.1 mm, p = 0.001). There was
no difference in the mean abduction angle of the acetabular component
between the two groups. Although the patients in this series had risk factors for failure
after HRA, such as low body weight, small femoral heads and dysplasia,
the clinical results of resurfacing in those with Crowe type I or

Successful management of late presenting hip

Two common measures are disability weight (DW), a context-independent value representing severity of a health state, and utility weight (UW), a context-dependent measure of health-related quality of life.

To quantify the prevalence of Generalized Joint Hypermobility (GJH), aka Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder, in adult patients presenting with hip pain to a sub-specialty hip practice, this 4-year, prospective, observational study evaluated correlations with clinical, demographic, and baseline outcomes. 1,004 consecutive new hip patients (390 males, 614 females) were evaluated for GJH using the Beighton 9-point physical exam criteria and the Hakim-Grahame 5-item history questionnaire. Diagnosis, age, sex and race were tested as predictors of GJH. Patient reported outcomes from iHOT-12 and a modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS) were also assessed. There were 333 patients presenting with
