Aims

The aim of this study was to estimate the clinical and economic burden of dislocation following primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) in England.

Methods

This retrospective evaluation used data from the UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink database. Patients were eligible if they underwent a primary THA (index date) and had medical records available 90 days pre-index and 180 days post-index. Bilateral THAs were excluded. Healthcare costs and resource use were evaluated over two years. Changes (pre- vs post-THA) in generic quality of life (QoL) and joint-specific disability were evaluated. Propensity score matching controlled for baseline differences between patients with and without THA dislocation.

Augmentation of the acetabular component of total hip replacements is a method of increasing stability and preventing recurrent dislocation. We report a series of mechanical experiments designed to evaluate the turning moments and angles required to dislocate standard, long posterior wall and two different augmented prostheses

A total of 12 epileptic patients (14 shoulders) with recurrent seizures and anterior dislocations of the shoulder underwent a Latarjet procedure and were reviewed at a mean of 8.3 years (1 to 20) post-operatively. Mean forward flexion decreased from 165° (100° to 180°) to 160° (90° to 180°) (p = 0.5) and mean external rotation from 54° (10° to 90°) to 43° (5° to 75°) (p = 0.058). The mean Rowe score was 76 (35 to 100) at the final follow-up. Radiologically, all shoulders showed a glenoid-rim defect and Hill-Sachs lesions pre-operatively. Osteo-arthritic changes of the glenohumeral joint were observed in five shoulders (36%) pre-operatively and in eight shoulders (57%) post-operatively. Re-dislocation during a seizure occurred in six shoulders (43%). Five of these patients underwent revision surgery using a bone buttress from the iliac crest and two of these patients re-dislocated due to a new seizure. . Due to the unacceptably high rate of re-dislocation after surgery in these patients, the most important means of reducing the incidence of further dislocation is the medical management of the seizures. The Latarjet procedure should be reserved for the well-controlled patient with epilepsy who has recurrent anterior dislocation of the shoulder during activities of daily living

1. Contracture of parts of the quadriceps muscle is not uncommon and is often accompanied by tightness of the ilio-tibial tract. It is suggested that this may follow intramuscular injections. 2. Recurrent dislocation of the patella can be a consequence of this muscle contracture. 3. Division of the ilio-tibial tract and lengthening of the fibrotic elements of the quadriceps can prevent further dislocation and restore good function

Dislocation is a common and well-studied complication after total hip replacement. However, subluxation, which we define as a clinically recognised episode of incomplete movement of the femoral head outside the acetabulum with spontaneous reduction, has not been studied previously. Out of a total of 2521 hip replacements performed over 12 years by one surgeon, 30 patients experienced subluxations which occurred in 31 arthroplasties. Data were collected prospectively with a minimum follow-up of two years. Subluxation occurred significantly more frequently after revision than after primary hip replacement, and resolved in 19 of 31 cases (61.3%). In six of the 31 hips (19.4%) the patient subsequently dislocated the affected hip, and in six hips (19.4%) intermittent subluxation continued. Four patients had a revision operation for instability, three for recurrent dislocation and one for recurrent subluxation. Clinical and radiological comparisons with a matched group of stable total hips showed no correlation with demographic or radiological parameters. Patients with subluxing hips reported significantly more concern that their hip would dislocate, more often changed their behaviour to prevent instability and had lower postoperative Harris hip scores than patients with stable replacements

We treated 35 patients with primary malignant tumours of the periacetabular area by resection and prosthetic reconstruction of the defect. At a mean follow-up of 84 months, 15 patients (43%) were free from disease. The most common complications were deep infection (26%), local recurrence (24%) and recurrent dislocation of the hip (17%). The surviving patients achieved an average of 70% of their premorbid function. This method of reconstruction has a high morbidity and should be performed only at specialist centres, but the functional and oncological outcomes are satisfactory

A study of the attachment of the joint capsule to the scapula, and of the shape of the humeral head, has been carried out in 52 fetal and embryonic shoulders. In 77% of cases the anterior capsule was attached to the labrum or close to it; in the remaining 23% it was inserted into the neck of the scapula, so creating a pouch. In all 52 specimens the humeral head was spherical. It was concluded that the pouched and redundant anterior capsule sometimes seen during surgery for recurrent dislocation of the shoulder, may not be traumatic in origin, but could be a developmental variant

We reviewed 54 patients at a mean follow-up of 4 years 4 months after rerevisions for failure of Charnley low-friction arthroplasty. Rerevision for aseptic loosening in 26 hips was satisfactory; there were no clinical failures and at the latest radiological assessment only one stem and three sockets showed signs of loosening. By contrast, nine of 20 multiple revisions for recurrent dislocation failed, as did five of eight multiple revisions for deep infection. There was radiological evidence of loosening in one stem and nine sockets in the former group and in three stems and five sockets in the latter

This study describes the surgical technique used for reconstruction and reinforcement of the lateral collateral ligament complex in patients with posterolateral instability of the elbow and the results. A triceps tendon graft from the ipsilateral elbow which was inserted through bone tunnels and fixed with bone anchors augmented the reconstruction. The operation was performed on 18 consecutive patients with instability after an acute traumatic dislocation. The mean follow-up was 44 months (14 to 88). There were no recurrent dislocations. The elbow was stable in 14 patients; three had some minor limitation of movement. Thirteen had no or only occasional slight pain, 15 returned to their normal level of activity and 17 were satisfied with the outcome. There was only one failure

Aims

The aim of this study was to determine the outcome of all primary total hip arthroplasties (THAs) and their subsequent revision procedures in patients aged under 50 years performed at our institution.

Methods

All 1,049 primary THAs which were undertaken in 860 patients aged under 50 years between 1988 and 2018 in our tertiary care institution were included. We used cemented implants in both primary and revision surgery. Impaction bone grafting was used in patients with acetabular or femoral bone defects. Kaplan-Meier analyses were used to determine the survival of primary and revision THA with the endpoint of revision for any reason, and of revision for aseptic loosening.

A simple procedure of using a Smillie knife to release the lateral patellar retinaculum and the capsule in the unstable patella syndrome is described. The syndrome includes recurrent dislocation, recurrent subluxation and acute dislocation of the patella. Arthroscopy, to exclude any other pathology such as chondromalacia patellae, is performed before proceeding to closed lateral release. The results of this procedure are as good as those after more major surgical procedures. In a small percentage of patients a second operation such as tibial tubercle transfer or patellectomy may be necessary, especially in patients with an underlying congenital abnormality; but in many patients this type of major surgery has proved unnecessary

We have used total hip replacement combined with cemented intramedullary nailing to treat a selected group of nine patients with pathological fractures of the proximal femur and impending fractures of the shaft due to metastases. One patient died from cardiopulmonary failure on the third postoperative day, but the others were able to walk within the first week after operation. Complications included one recurrent dislocation of the THR and one fracture of an osteolytic lesion of the femoral shaft during nail insertion. Both were managed successfully. The hybrid osteosynthesis which we describe is an alternative to the use of tumour or long-stem prostheses; it has the advantage of preserving bone stock and muscle attachments

We report two cases of surface deterioration of a zirconia ceramic femoral head associated with phase transformation after total hip arthroplasty. One head was retrieved at revision due to recurrent dislocation after six years and the other because of failure of the locking mechanism of the polyethylene liner after three years. The monoclinic content of the zirconia ceramics rose from 1% to about 30% on the surface of the heads. SEM revealed numerous craters indicating extraction of the zirconia ceramics at the surface. Surface roughness increased from an initial value of 0.006 3m up to 0.12 3m. This is the first report to show that phase transformation of zirconia ceramics causes deterioration of the surface roughness of the head in vivo after total hip arthroplasty

Transposition of part of the pes anserinus was used to treat 96 knees in 78 patients with recurrent, habitual or permanent dislocations of the patella. The knees with habitual (48) and permanent (27) dislocations also had extensive release of superolateral contracture. The patients were reviewed at an average follow-up of 9 years 8 months. The medial stability of the patella had been improved in all the cases. There were no recurrences in 21 knees with recurrent dislocations. There were four recurrences (5.3%) in knees with habitual and permanent dislocations due to inadequate release of the superolateral contracture and incorrect transfer of the whole of the pes anserinus. Correction of these technical errors prevented further recurrence in all four cases

Dislocation following total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a well-known and potentially devastating complication. Clinicians have used many strategies in attempts to prevent dislocation since the introduction of THA. While the importance of postoperative care cannot be ignored, particular emphasis has been placed on preoperative planning in the prevention of dislocation. The strategies have progressed from more traditional approaches, including modular implants, the size of the femoral head, and augmentation of the offset, to newer concepts, including patient-specific component positioning combined with computer navigation, robotics, and the use of dual-mobility implants. As clinicians continue to pursue improved outcomes and reduced complications, these concepts will lay the foundation for future innovation in THA and ultimately improved outcomes.

Patients who had a revision total hip arthroplasty using the Bürch-Schneider anti-protrusio cage (APC) by a single surgeon have been reviewed after a minimum of five years. There were 63 operations in 58 patients with an average age of 63 years (41 to 83) at the time of revision. At an average follow-up of 8.5 years (5 to 18), 15 patients (25.9%) rated their results as excellent, 38 (65.5%) as good, and five (8.6%) as fair. Five further revisions of the acetabular prosthesis were required, three due to aseptic loosening, one for recurrent dislocation and one due to sepsis. Of the remainder, one was definitely loose, two probably loose, and 12 possibly so. Impressive augmentation of bone stock can be achieved with the anti-protrusio cage, while enabling the hip to be centred in its anatomical position

1. At an operation for recurrent posterior dislocation of the shoulder observations were made on the mechanism, head defect, method of reduction, and the position of greatest stability. 2. Experimentally, avulsion of the glenoid labrum in a monkey was shown to be capable of sound repair without operation. 3. In the treatment of primary posterior dislocation it is suggested that the position of abduction, lateral rotation and extension is favourable for the approximation of the stripped labrum and capsule to the glenoid rim, and for an effective buttress after cicatrisation. 4. If the risk of recurrence is to be reduced to a minimum the shoulder should be retained in the position of greatest stability for at least four weeks, to allow firm union of the avulsed soft tissues. 5. This position for an optimum buttress would also apply after surgical repair for recurrent posterior dislocation

Trochlear dysplasia is a developmental condition characterised by an abnormally flat or dome-shaped trochlea and is an important contributory factor to patellofemoral instability and recurrent dislocation. We studied prospectively a series of 54 consecutive patients (59 knees) with patellofemoral instability secondary to trochlear dysplasia, who were treated by a trochleoplasty by a single surgeon between June 2002 and June 2007. Pre- and post-operative scores were assessed by the patients and a satisfaction questionnaire was completed. Of the 54 patients (59 knees) in the series, 39 (44 knees) were female and 15 (15 knees) were male. Their mean age at surgery was 21 years and 6 months (14 years 4 months to 33 years 11 months). In 40 patients (42 knees) the mean follow-up was for 24 months (12 to 58). One patient was unable to attend for follow-up. An analysis of the results of those patients followed up for at least 12 months showed a statistically significant improvement in outcome (p < 0.001 for all scores). Overall, 50 patients (92.6%) were satisfied with the outcome of their procedure. The early results of trochleoplasty are encouraging in this challenging group of patients
