This studyevaluated the results of the acetabular medial wall osteotomy to reconstruct the acetabulum in dysplastic hip during total hip athroplasty. A total of 30 hips of 30 patients who underwent THA between March 1999 and October 2002 were clinically and radiogically evaluated. The average age at the time of operation was 46.5 years (range: 17 to 73 years), and the mean follow-up period was 5 years (range: 5.3 to 8.7 years). 26 cases, a cementless hemispherical acetabular cup and 4 cases, reinforced ring were inserted in the true acetabulum. Only 2 hips needed structural bone graft.Purpose
Materials and Methods
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcomes and and radiological findings of primary total hip arthroplasty(THA) performed by using cemented polished femoral stem. We retrospectively reviewed 91 hips (84 patients) that had undergone primary THA with cemented polished femoral stem after follow-up more than 10 years. The mean age at surgery was 57 years old (47 to 75). Mean follow up period was 12. 8 years(10.1 to 14). Clinical evaluation was performed using Harris hip score. The radiographic evaluation was performed in terms of the cementing technique, including of subsidence within the cement mantle, radiolucent lines at the cement-bone or cement-stem interface, cortical hypertrophy, and calcar resorption.Purpose
