It has been well documented in the arthroplasty literature that lumbar degenerative disc disease (DDD) contributes to abnormal spinopelvic motion. However, the relationship between the severity or pattern of hip osteoarthritis (OA) as measured on an anteroposterior (AP) pelvic view and spinopelvic biomechanics has not been well investigated. Therefore, the aim of the study is to examine the association between the severity and pattern of hip OA and spinopelvic motion. A retrospective chart review was conducted to identify patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). Plain AP pelvic radiographs were reviewed to document the morphological characteristic of osteoarthritic hips. Lateral spine-pelvis-hip sitting and standing plain radiographs were used to measure sacral slope (SS) and pelvic femoral angle (PFA) in each position. Lumbar disc spaces were measured to determine the presence of DDD. The difference between sitting and standing SS and PFA were calculated to quantify spinopelvic motion (ΔSS) and hip motion (ΔPFA), respectively. Univariate analysis and Pearson correlation were used to identify morphological hip characteristics associated with changes in spinopelvic motion.Aims
Methods
This study aims to answer the following questions in patients with hip osteoarthritis (OA) who underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA): are patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) affected by the location of the maximum severity of pain?; are PROMs affected by the presence of non-groin pain?; are PROMs affected by the severity of pain?; and are PROMs affected by the number of pain locations? We reviewed 336 hips (305 patients) treated with THA for hip OA from December 2016 to November 2019 using pain location/severity questionnaires, modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), Hip Outcome Score (HOS), international Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT-12) score, and radiological analysis. Descriptive statistics, analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), and Spearman partial correlation coefficients were used.Aims
Methods
The term developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH)
describes a spectrum of disorders that results in abnormal development
of the hip joint. If not treated successfully in childhood, these
patients may go on to develop hip symptoms and/or secondary osteoarthritis
in adulthood. In this review we describe the altered anatomy encountered
in adults with DDH along with the management options, and the challenges
associated with hip arthroscopy, osteotomies and arthroplasty for
the treatment of DDH in young adults. Cite this article:
Radiostereometric analysis (RSA) can detect early
micromovement in unstable implant designs which are likely subsequently
to have a high failure rate. In 2010, the Articular Surface Replacement
(ASR) was withdrawn because of a high failure rate. In 19 ASR femoral
components, the mean micromovement over the first two years after implantation
was 0.107 mm ( We conclude that the ASR femoral component achieves initial stability
and that early migration is not the mode of failure for this resurfacing
arthroplasty.
