Project description:This report describes a patient with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) who underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA) by the direct anterior approach and sustained a L4-5 extension fracture dislocation with neural deficits. A magnetic resonance imaging revealed an epidural hematoma at the site of the fracture causing critical stenosis. The patient was taken to the operating room for a L3-S1 posterior decompression with L2-pelvis posterior spinal fusion. AS and diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis create a stiff spine that predisposes to fractures because of the larger moment arms experienced than normal spines. The arthroplasty surgeon performing THA should be aware and take precautions to reduce stress on the spine.

Project description:This article describes a traumatic complete anterior knee dislocation of a previously well-functioning total knee arthroplasty. A thorough physical examination with appropriate radiographic imaging study is required for proper evaluation and treatment of this injury, as it is often associated with neurovascular injury and subsequent global instability of the injured knee is likely.

Project description:Hip arthroplasty in young patients requires thoughtful preoperative planning. Patients with proximal femoral bone loss complicate this planning and may require a staged procedure to optimize implant insertion. We report on a case of a 26-year-old woman with secondary hip arthritis from developmental dysplasia of the hip and a large pertrochanteric bone cyst that was treated with staged total hip arthroplasty. The cyst was decompressed and filled with an osteoconductive and osteoinductive bone graft substitute called EquivaBone. One year later, the patient underwent a successful primary total hip arthroplasty. Fifteen-month follow-up after her hip replacement revealed resolution of postoperative pain and significant functional improvement.

Project description:The present study was undertaken to identify the factors responsible for hip joint dislocation after total hip arthroplasty, laying emphasis on analysis of the background variables of the patients. Of the 317 hips included in the study, ten (3.2%) dislocated. Only the anteversion angle of the cup differed significantly between the dislocation group and the dislocation-free group. The safe zone of the anteversion angle seems to be between 20 and 30 degrees. but it is also essential to set the antetorsion angle of the stem to match the shape of individual bones to create a more stable hip joint. This safe zone may be expanded by the additive effect of antetorsion angle of the stem.

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.

Project description:Yoga has become a popular form of exercise, recreation, and meditation for adults in the United States. As the popularity of both yoga and the incidence of hip replacements have both coincidentally increased over the last 2 decades, we imagine that the number of total hip replacement patients partaking in the practice of yoga has also increased. There are no clear guidelines available for yoga practice following hip replacement. To date, there have been no published reports of prosthetic hip dislocations during yoga. We present 2 cases of late total hip dislocations during yoga and provide a review of the available orthopaedic literature and our recommendations on patient restrictions and education with respect to practicing yoga after a hip replacement.

Project description:BackgroundMany risk factors have been described for dislocation following total hip arthroplasty (THA), yet a patient-specific risk assessment tool remains elusive. The purpose of this study was to develop a high-dimensional, patient-specific risk-stratification nomogram that allows dynamic risk modification based on operative decisions.MethodsIn this study, 29,349 THAs, including 21,978 primary and 7371 revision cases, performed between 1998 and 2018 were evaluated. During a mean 6-year follow-up, 1521 THAs were followed by a dislocation. Patients were characterized, through individual-chart review, according to non-modifiable factors (demographics, indication for THA, spine disease, prior spine surgery, and neurologic disease) and modifiable operative decisions (operative approach, femoral head diameter, and type of acetabular liner [standard, elevated, constrained, or dual-mobility]). Multivariable regression models and nomograms were developed with dislocation as a binary outcome at 1 year and 5 years postoperatively.ResultsDislocation risk, based on patient-specific comorbidities and operative decisions, was wide-ranging-from 0.3% to 13% at 1 year and from 0.4% to 19% at 5 years after primary THA, and from 2% to 32% at 1 year and from 3% to 42% at 5 years after revision THA. In the primary-THA group, the direct anterior approach (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.27) and lateral approach (HR = 0.58) decreased the dislocation risk compared with the posterior approach. After adjusting for the approach in that group, the combination of a ≥36-mm-diameter femoral head and an elevated liner yielded the largest decrease in dislocation risk (HR = 0.28), followed by dual-mobility constructs (HR = 0.48). In the patients who underwent revision THA, the adjusted risk of dislocation was most markedly decreased by the use of a dual-mobility construct (HR = 0.40), followed by a ≥36-mm femoral head and an elevated liner (HR = 0.88). The adjusted risk of dislocation after revision THA was decreased by acetabular revision (HR = 0.58), irrespective of whether other components were revised.ConclusionsOur patient-specific dislocation risk calculator, which was strengthened by our use of a robust multivariable model that accounted for comorbidities associated with instability, demonstrated wide-ranging patient-specific risks based on comorbidity profiles. The resultant nomograms can be used as a screening tool to identify patients at high risk for dislocation following THA and to individualize operative decisions for evidence-based risk mitigation.Level of evidencePrognostic Level IV.

Project description:IntroductionThe direct anterior approach (DAA) to total hip arthroplasty (THA) has a known learning curve, largely due to difficulty achieving exposure and visualization of the acetabulum and proximal femur for joint preparation. There is paucity of information on limb positioning and the degree of angulation at which the limb is positioned for adequate visualization. This study aimed to identify the mean angles of limb positioning necessary for adequate exposure when using two Mueller retractors for femoral preparation using traditional table.Materials & methodsA surgeon performed a DAA THA on 11 cadaveric hemipelves, exposing the femoral canal with two simple, robust Mueller retractors. The degree of external rotation and extension of the hip was measured.ResultsOf the 11, the mean age was 77.6 years and mean BMI was 27.95. The mean external rotation angle was 56.5 ± 13.5°. The mean extension angle was 19.9 ± 6.6°.Discussion & conclusionThe key technical step in this study incorporated a second robust Mueller retractor on the posterior aspect of the greater trochanter, providing maximum leverage to deliver the femur and achieve visibility while reducing angles of limb positioning thereby reducing complications, and ultimately lessening the learning curve.

Project description:BackgroundCeramic-on-ceramic bearing surfaces were developed to provide an alternate to metal-on-polyethylene to decrease wear-induced osteolysis in total hip arthroplasty patients. In an effort to decrease the risk of ceramic acetabular component fracture or damage during implantation, a raised metal rim was added.Questions/purposesHow many fractures or impingements have occurred in our population of patients with ceramic liners with raised rims?MethodsWith IRB-approved consent, a case series was reviewed from a single center registry and 4 of 169 patients were identified who had revision hip surgery with the ceramic liner with a raised metal rim: one for ceramic liner fracture and three for metallosis, pain, and squeaking. Implant alignment and operative findings were reviewed.ResultsOne ceramic liner fracture and three cases of metallosis from impingement of the femoral neck on the posterior elevated metal rim of the acetabular liner were observed at revision. The femoral neck in each patient had a divot that corresponded to a divot in the posterosuperior liner rim. Three of the four patients had audible squeaking or clicking prior to revision. A total of 3% of patients in this series had clinically significant impingement with this implant type.ConclusionAcoustic phenomenon in a ceramic on ceramic bearing surface should be investigated with a cross-table lateral radiograph to evaluate component position. If symptomatic impingement is demonstrated, revision should be considered to avoid failure from metallosis or fracture.

Project description:Subtrochanteric osteotomy of the femur (STO) is a valuable corrective procedure in hip surgeries. However, STO in traditional posterolateral approach usually encounters complications such as postoperative dislocation, bone non-union, and prosthesis failure. Some relevant pathologies and mechanisms have been identified, but there is sparse evidence for verification. The aim of this video in orthopaedic technique is to test our hypothesis of STO in direct anterior approach to total hip arthroplasty in a complicated hip surgery, and to further illustrate the rationality, reproducibility, and superiority of STO in this minimally invasive and enhanced-recovery approach by presenting a standardized and systemic protocol, as well as operational pearls and pitfalls.
