Introduction

Although total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in end-stage hemophilic arthropathy can reduce the severe joint pain and improve the functional disability, it is technically demanding. In addition, it has generally reported a high rate of complication including periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) and component loosening up to 20%. Although the Knee Society classification system of TKA complication was introduced, the complications of TKA in hemophilic arthropathy has not stratified using this classification system in previous articles to the best of our knowledge.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the mid-term outcomes and complications of TKA in hemophilic arthropathy.

Methods

The study retrospectively reviewed 131 consecutive primary TKAs (102 patients) in single institute. The mean patient age was 41.0 years and mean follow-up time was 6.4 years. The clinical and radiographic results were evaluated. The complications were categorized according to the classification system of the Knee Society for TKA complications.

Purpose

There are some concerns about doing hip resurfacing arthroplasty in ONFH due to bone defect which can cause mechanical weakness of femoral component and highly active young age of patients which can cause high wear rate and failure rate. The purpose of this study is to verify the HRA is safe procedure in ONFH in the aspect of mechanical and biological issue.

Materials and Methods

Between December 1998 and May 2005, 185 hips of 169 patients underwent MoM HRA using Birmingham Hip Resurfacing System® at single center. 166 hips (26 hips of female, 140 hips of male) of 144 patients have been reviewed for at least 7 years after MoM HRA. Mean follow-up period was 101.8 (84–178) months. Their mean age at the time of operation was 37.7(16–67) years old. Clinically, Harris hip scores (HHS), UCLA activity scores and range of motion were evaluated. Radiologically, the extent of necrotic area in preoperative MRI and radiolucency around implants, narrowing of retained neck, impingement, stress shielding, and heterotopic ossification were evaluated in the serial anteroposterior and groin lateral radiographs of hip. Complications were defined as joint dislocation, infection, implant loosening, femoral neck fracture and pseudotumor. Failure was defined as revision arthroplasty due to the complications.

Purpose

In general, the amount and rate of linear wear are associated with femoral head size in the conventional UHMWPE acetabular liner. The smaller the femoral head, the higher the linear wear rate. The aim of this study is to verify the relationship between wear rate and femoral head size and the polyethylene cup thickness.

Materials and Methods

We conducted a retrospective review of all patients who had undergone primary cementless total hip arthroplasty using the conventional UHMWPE (HGP2) acetabular liner between July 1992 and December 2002. 128 hips (34 hips of female, 94 hips of male) of 64 patients who had 28 mm femoral head with different polyethylene acetabular linear thickness and 102 hips (41 hips of female, 61 hips of male) of 81 patients with 22 mm femoral head were included. Patients were assessed clinically and radiographically at postop 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months and annually thereafter. Clinical assessment was performed using Harris Hip Score. Radiographic analysis included measurement of acetabular component position, polyethylene wear using a validated radiographic technique (Dorr method). Their mean age at the time of operation was 45.3 (24–81) years old and mean follow-up period was 10.8 (96–144 months) years.

Purpose

To evaluate the radiological changes after metal on metal resurfacing arthroplasty.

Materials and Methods

Between December 1998 and August 2004, 166 hips in 150 patients who underwent metal resurfacing arthroplasty and followed up more than 4 years. Their mean age at the time of operation was 37.3 years(range, 15–68 years) and mean period of follow-up was 6.1 years(range, 48–95 months). The cause of arthroplasty included 115 avascular necrosis, 43 osteoarthritis, 7 ankylosing spondylitis, 1 haemophilic arthropathy. All patients had anteroposterior, translateral radiographs of the hip made preoperatively and each follow-up visit, and we analyzed radiographic findings such as radiolucencies or impingement signs around implant, neck narrowing and heterotopic ossification.
