We compared the clinical outcomes of curved intertrochanteric varus osteotomy (CVO) with bone impaction grafting (BIG) with CVO alone for the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). This retrospective comparative study included 81 patients with ONFH; 37 patients (40 hips) underwent CVO with BIG (BIG group) and 44 patients (47 hips) underwent CVO alone (CVO group). Patients in the BIG group were followed-up for a mean of 12.2 years (10.0 to 16.5). Patients in the CVO group were followed-up for a mean of 14.5 years (10.0 to 21.0). Assessment parameters included the Harris Hip Score (HHS), Oxford Hip Score (OHS), Japanese Orthopaedic Association Hip-Disease Evaluation Questionnaire (JHEQ), complication rates, and survival rates, with conversion to total hip arthroplasty (THA) and radiological failure as the endpoints.Aims
Methods
The influence of identifiable pre-operative factors on the outcome
of eccentric rotational acetabular osteotomy (ERAO) is unknown.
We aimed to determine the factors that might influence the outcome,
in order to develop a scoring system for predicting the prognosis
for patients undergoing this procedure. We reviewed 700 consecutive ERAOs in 54 men and 646 women with
symptomatic acetabular dysplasia or early onset osteoarthritis (OA)
of the hip, which were undertaken between September 1989 and March
2013. The patients’ pre-operative background, clinical and radiological
findings were examined retrospectively. Multivariate Cox regression
analysis was performed using the time from the day of surgery to
a conversion to total hip arthroplasty (THA) as an endpoint. A risk
score was calculated to predict the prognosis for conversion to
THA, and its predictive capacity was investigated.Aims
