Dislocation of a hip hemiarthroplasty is a devastating complication with a high mortality rate in elderly patients. Previous studies have suggested a higher dislocation rate in patients with neuromuscular conditions. In this study, we have reviewed our larger cohort of patients to identify whether there is any association between neuromuscular disorders and prosthetic dislocation in patients treated with hip hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fractures. Our study is a retrospective analysis of data collected over 34 years for patients with intracapsular neck of femur fracture who underwent hip hemiarthroplasty. The study population is composed of four groups: patients with no neuromuscular disorders, patients with Parkinson's disease, patients with previous stroke, and patients with dementia.Abstract
Background
Patients and Methods
To reduce several disadvantages many surgeons are not using tourniquet in TKA. Here we compared functional outcome along with pain and blood loss in sixty patients. 60 patients who underwent TKA wererandomized into a tourniquet group (n2 = 30) and a non-tourniquet group (n1 = 30). All operations were performed by the samesurgeon and follow-up was for 6 month. Primary outcomes werefunctional and clinical outcomes, as evaluated by KSS and postoperative pain. Secondary outcomes were blood loss, surgical time and visibility, extensor lag and Knee ROM, DVT and radiolucency.Introduction
