Aims. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) with dual-mobility components (DM-THA) has been shown to decrease the risk of dislocation in the setting of a displaced
Aims. This study aimed to describe practice variation in the use of total hip arthroplasty (THA) for older patients with
Aims. The aim of this study was to investigate the potentially increased risk of dislocation in patients with neurological disease who sustain a
Aims. The aim of this investigation was to compare risk of infection in both cemented and uncemented hemiarthroplasty (HA) as well as in total hip arthroplasty (THA) following
Aims. In this study, we aimed to explore surgical variations in the Femoral Neck System (FNS) used for stable fixation of Pauwels type III
Aims. The aim of this study was to compare the early postoperative mortality and morbidity in older patients with a fracture of the femoral neck, between those who underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA) and those who underwent hemiarthroplasty. Methods. This nationwide, retrospective cohort study used data from the Japanese Diagnosis Procedure Combination database. We included older patients (aged ≥ 60 years) who underwent THA or hemiarthroplasty after a
Aims. Dislocation is the most common indication for further surgery following total hip arthroplasty (THA) when undertaken in patients with a

The December 2022 Hip & Pelvis Roundup. 360. looks at: Fix and replace: simultaneous fracture fixation and hip arthroplasty for acetabular fractures in older patients; Is the revision rate for
Aims. The localization of necrotic areas has been reported to impact the prognosis and treatment strategy for osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). Anteroposterior localization of the necrotic area after a
Aims. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is considered the preferred treatment for displaced proximal
Aims. Our primary aim was to assess reoperation-free survival at one year after the index injury in patients aged ≥ 75 years treated with internal fixation (IF) or arthroplasty for undisplaced
Surgical interventions consisting of internal
fixation (IF) or total hip replacement (THR) are required to restore
patient mobility after hip fractures. Conventionally, this decision
was based solely upon the degree of fracture displacement. However,
in the last ten years, there has been a move to incorporate patient
characteristics into the decision making process. Research demonstrating
that joint replacement renders superior functional results when compared
with IF, in the treatment of displaced
Aims. To evaluate the rate of dislocation following dual mobility total hip arthroplasty (DM-THA) in patients with displaced
Aims. Within the UK, around 70,000 patients suffer
Aims. While interdisciplinary protocols and expedited surgical treatment improve the management of hip fractures in the elderly, the impact of such interventions on patients specifically undergoing arthroplasty for a
Aims. The aim of this study was to explore the functional results in a fitter subgroup of participants in the Hip Fracture Evaluation with Alternatives of Total Hip Arthroplasty versus Hemiarthroplasty (HEALTH) trial to determine whether there was an advantage of total hip arthroplasty (THA) versus hemiarthroplasty (HA) in this population. Methods. We performed a post hoc exploratory analysis of a fitter cohort of patients from the HEALTH trial. Participants were aged over 50 years and had sustained a low-energy displaced
Aims. Monocyte-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) or neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) are useful for diagnosing periprosthetic joint infection (PJI), but their diagnostic values are unclear for screening fixation-related infection (FRI) in patients for whom conversion total hip arthroplasty (THA) is planned after failed internal fixation for
Aims. Dual-mobility acetabular components (DMCs) have improved total hip arthroplasty (THA) stability in
Aims. To develop prediction models using machine-learning (ML) algorithms for 90-day and one-year mortality prediction in
