Femoral artery injury during total hip arthroplasty.

ABSTRACT: There are an increasing number of vascular complications after hip replacement, some of which can be life-threatening. However, there are few reports of lower limb ischemic symptoms after undergoing an otherwise uncomplicated classic total hip replacement. We report a patient with low weight who developed postoperative limb ischemia resulting from blood clots caused by insertion of a Hohmann retractor close to small anterior acetabular osteophytes. Ultrasonography and angiography revealed her symptoms to be the result of femoral artery intimal injury with lower extremity arterial thrombosis, which led to pain, numbness, and decreased skin temperature. The patient underwent timely percutaneous intervention with a femoral artery stent, which relieved her symptoms. The discussion reviews femoral artery injury during total hip arthroplasty.

Left Profunda Femoral Artery Pseudoaneurysm After Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty.

Project description:We present a case report of an 84-year-old male who presented with a profunda femoris artery (PFA) pseudoaneurysm 8 years after the index revision total hip arthroplasty procedure. Failure of revision hardware and subsequent migration of implants led to damage of the PFA and pseudoaneurysm formation. The patient was hemodynamically unstable on presentation and required emergent endovascular intervention. Once medically stabilized, the patient underwent extensive debridement of the aneurysm and hematoma bed and broken hardware was removed to prevent further complications. At 6-month follow-up, the patient was able to mobilize independently and had returned to all prior levels of activities of daily living. We discuss the vascular anatomy of the hip, the paucity of literature on PFA pseudoaneurysm, as well as the likely etiology of total hip arthroplasty failures.

Femoral artery intimal injury following total hip arthroplasty through the direct anterior approach: a rare but potential complication.

Project description:Vascular injury following total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a rare but known complication. Various vascular lesions have been described in the literature, with arterial intimal damage being uncommon. Despite the recent popularity of the direct anterior approach in THA, only 1 case of iatrogenic vascular injury has been reported. We report 3 cases of common femoral artery intimal damage with thrombosis following direct anterior THA. We propose that misplacement of the anterior retractor in this approach, especially in certain susceptible patients, can lead to vascular damage. Therefore, maintaining a step-wise approach to placing the retractor with caution is essential. One of our cases had a delayed presentation of undetectable arterial pulse, highlighting the significance of regular postoperative vascular examinations.

A Unique Complication of Femoral Broach Fracture and Incarceration During Total Hip Arthroplasty.

Project description:In recent years, total hip arthroplasty via the direct anterior approach has been gaining popularity. It offers potential early advantages for less pain and quicker return of hip function; however, compared to other surgical approaches, it is associated with a more difficult femoral reconstruction. Inadequate femoral exposure during the direct anterior approach can result in suboptimal press fit, implant malalignment, and intraoperative fracture. This case report presents a unique complication of femoral broach failure and describes a simple technical solution that is feasible, cost-effective, and safe.

Intraoperative femoral head dislodgement during total hip arthroplasty: a report of four cases.

Project description:Dislodgment of trial femoral heads and migration into the pelvis during total hip arthroplasty is a rarely reported complication with limited published cases. There are three primary mechanisms of femoral head separation: dislodgement during reduction attempt, disassociation from anterior dislocation while assessing anterior stability, and during dislocation after implant trialing. If the trial femoral migrates beyond the pelvic brim, it is safer to finish the total hip arthroplasty and address the retained object after repositioning or in a planned second procedure with a general surgeon. We recommend operative retrieval since long-term complications from retention or clinical results are lacking.

Total hip arthroplasty with subtrochanteric femoral shortening osteotomy for high hip dislocation.

Project description:ObjectiveTo evaluate the outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA) with subtrochanteric femoral shortening osteotomy for high hip dislocation.MethodsIn this retrospective study, the results of 24 primary THAs with acetabular reconstruction and subtrochanteric femoral shortening osteotomy in 21 patients with high hip dislocation were evaluated. The acetabula were reconstructed with cemented or uncemented cups and bone grafting. Transverse subtrochanteric femoral shortening osteotomies were applied and the osteotomy sites treated by bone grafting and cable fixation. Assessment was by Hip Harris scores and radiographic evaluation.ResultsThe mean follow-up time was 42 months (18-108 months), three cases being lost to follow-up 18-27 months postoperatively. The HHS improved from 47.5 ± 8.7 to 88.5 ± 3.1. The mean length of femoral segments removed was 2.5 ± 0.8 cm (range, 1.0-4.5 cm) and mean acetabular inclination 43° ± 5° (range, 31°-54°). Caudalization of the femoral head center was 3.2 ± 3.0 mm (range, -3 to 12 mm) and lateralization 4.0 ± 4.0 mm (range, -9 to 11 mm). Mean greater trochanter height relative to theoretical hip center was 5.2 ± 1.0 cm (range, 3.5-7.1 cm) preoperatively and 0.2 ± 0.6 cm (range, -0.9 to 1.2 cm) postoperatively. Intraoperative trochanteric fractures occurred in three cases and sciatic nerve palsy in one.ConclusionTHA with subtrochanteric femoral shortening osteotomy is an effective technique for treating high hip dislocation. Its advantages include improvement in limb imbalance and decreased risk of sciatic nerve injury.

A Novel Technique to Detect Femoral Shaft Perforation during Direct Anterior Total Hip Arthroplasty.

Project description:Despite its popularity, the direct anterior approach for hip arthroplasty is not without complications. Intraoperative femoral shaft perforation using this approach ranges from 0.8% to 7%. A missed perforation can lead to fracture with the need for further surgery if not detected intraoperatively. We describe a reproducible and cost-effective technique using a plastic Yankauer suction handle to help identify proximal femoral perforations during direct anterior total hip arthroplasty. Careful attention to the visual, tactile, and auditory feedback provided by the suction handle can help ensure the cortical continuity of the proximal femur. Familiarity with relevant surgical anatomy, improving surgical technique, and scrutinizing implant positioning helps minimize the risk of complications during the direct anterior approach.

The impact of reducing the femoral stem length in total hip arthroplasty during gait.

Project description:AimThe length of the femoral stem in total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a practical consideration to prevent gait impairment. The aim of this study was to determine if reducing the femoral stem length in THA would lead to impaired gait biomechanics.MethodsPatients uniformly with the same brand implant of differing lengths (100 mm vs 140-166 mm) were taken retrospectively from a prospective trial introducing a new short stem. Twelve patients without any other disorder to alter gait besides contralateral differing length stem THA were tested at differing gradients and speed on a validated instrumented treadmill measuring ground reaction forces. An anthropometrically similar group of healthy controls were analysed to compare.ResultsWith the same posterior surgical approach, the offset and length of both hips were reconstructed within 5 mm of each other with an identical mean head size of 36 mm. The short stem was the last procedure for all the hips with gait analysis occurring at a mean of 31 and 79 months postoperatively for the short and long stem THA, respectively. Gait analysis between limbs of both stem lengths demonstrated no statistical difference during any walking condition. In the 90 gait assessments with three loading variables, the short stem was the favoured side 51% of the time compared 49% for the long stem.ConclusionBy testing a range of practical walking activities, no lower limb loading differences can be observed by reducing the femoral stem length. A shorter stem demonstrates equivalence in preference during gait when compared to a reputable conventional stem in total hip arthroplasty.

Revision total hip arthroplasty using the Zweymuller femoral stem.

Project description:BACKGROUND: A variety of femoral stem designs have been reported to be successful in revision total hip arthroplasty without consensus as to optimal design. We evaluated the clinical and radiographic outcomes in a consecutive series of femoral revisions using a wedge-shape, tapered-stem design at medium and long-term follow-up. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We performed a retrospective review of clinical and radiographic outcomes of twenty-eight consecutive femoral revisions arthroplasties, which were done using the Zweymuller femoral stem. RESULTS: The mean follow-up was 7.4 years (range 2-15 years). No stem re-revision was necessary. All stems were judged to be stable by radiographic criteria at the most recent follow-up. The final mean Harris hip score was 90. There was no difference in Harris hip scores, implant stability, or radiological appearance (distal cortical hypertrophy or proximal stress shielding) of the implants between medium-term (mean 5.7 years) and long-term (mean 12.4 years) follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: We found the Zweymuller femoral stem design to be durable for revision hip arthroplasty when there is an intact metaphyseal-diaphyseal junction for adequate press-fit stability at surgery.

Delayed Femoral Artery Occlusion After Total Hip Arthroplasty via the Posterior Approach: A Single-Case Report From Thailand.

Project description:Arterial injury after total hip arthroplasty is rare, but the consequences of this complication are serious and potentially life-threatening. Here, we report a case of delayed-onset common femoral artery occlusion after total hip arthroplasty that was performed via the posterior approach at Siriraj Hospital-Thailand's largest university-based national tertiary referral center. Our case was successfully treated with arterial thromboembolectomy. We postulate that anterior retractor placement caused intimal injury to the vessel. Routine monitoring of postoperative vascular pulse is essential. Early detection and prompt vascular surgeon consultation are the important factors for preventing the potentially catastrophic consequences of this complication.
