Incidence of heterotopic ossification in minimally invasive short-stem THA using the modified anterolateral approach.
2017
Introduction Heterotopic ossification (HO) is known to be a common complication after total hip arthroplasty (THA). The minimal invasive (MIS) modified anterolateral approach has become popular in combination with a short stem. We analysed the incidence of HO following short-stem THA using this approach in combination with a postoperative administration of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Materials and methods 216 short stems were implanted in 162 patients. NSAIDs were administered for 2 weeks after surgery in 154 patients (95.1%). Standardised pre- and postoperative radiographic imaging was done at 2-year follow-up. HO was analysed according to the Brooker classification. Inf…
Mid- to Long-Term Outcome of Cementless Total Hip Arthroplasty in Younger Patients
2010
Purpose. To assess mid- to long-term outcomes of cementless primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) in younger patients. Methods. Records of 28 women and 34 men (75 hips) aged 18 to 55 (mean, 38) years who underwent primary THA using a hydroxyapatite-coated stem and a threaded cup and had been followed up for a mean of 10 (6–15) years were reviewed. 13 of the patients had bilateral THAs. Clinical and radiographic outcomes were evaluated. Results. After a minimum follow-up of 7 (range, 7–14) years, 12 (16%) of the hips were revised, of which 8 (11%) were for the cup. The causes for revision were late deep infections (n=2), aseptic loosening of the cup (n=4), and polyethylene wear (n=6). No stem…
Complement split products and proinflammatory cytokines in intraoperatively salvaged unwashed blood during hip replacement: comparison between hepari…
2008
Background and Objectives The aim of the present study was to investigate the quality of shed blood collected in a new intraoperative autotransfusion system (Sangvia®, AstraTech, Sweden) and to study whether heparin-coated surfaces in the device reduce the production of inflammatory mediators. Material and Methods The study was randomized and prospective. Twelve total hip arthroplasty patients whose blood was collected with a device having a heparin-coated surface and 12 patients whose blood was collected with a device having a non-heparin-coated surface were included. Venous blood was drawn from the patients preoperatively. Intraoperatively 200 ml salvaged blood was collected and samples…
Psychometric properties of the French translation of the reduced KOOS and HOOS (KOOS-PS and HOOS-PS).
2009
Udgivelsesdato: 2009-Dec OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the psychometric properties of the French KOOS physical function (KOOS-PS) and HOOS physical function (HOOS-PS), specifically its feasibility, reliability, construct validity, and responsiveness. METHODS: Consecutive outpatients consulting for primary knee or hip osteoarthritis (OA) in a rheumatology department were included. During the initial assessment, patients were asked to complete the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) or Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS) questionnaire and the OsteoArthritis Knee and Hip Quality Of Life questionnaire (OAKHQOL). The patients were given a second KOOS or HOOS questionn…
Skoliose und Hüftbeugekontraktur bei Duchennescher Muskel-dystrophie
2000
UNLABELLED Spinal deformity is common in muscular dystrophy and usually occurs after loss of walking ability. Unlike in idiopathic and other scoliosis forms, there seems to be no side preference of the convexity. Aim of the study was to analyse, if there is any relation between incidence and extent of walking ability, lower limb contractures and development of scoliosis. METHODS In a retrospective study, 45 patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy who underwent surgery were analysed, concerning walking ability, contractures of lower extremities and scoliosis. RESULTS 1: No scoliosis was observed in ambulatory patients. 2: 96% of the wheelchair bound patients suffered from scoliosis. 3: 96%…
Verlaufsbeobachtung des Kollagen- und Knochenstoffwechsels bei Patienten mit zementfreier Hüfttotalendoprothese*
2008
Introduction This study investigated the influence of concentration and activity of several markers of the collagen and bone metabolism and their impact on ingrowth of non-cemented total hip arthroplasty. Methods 40 patients underwent an implantation of a ABG-prosthesis. Before surgery and 1, 2, 12 and 24 weeks after it serum concentrations of PICP, ICTP, IGF-1, ON, b-AP, Calcium, Phosphate, GPT and Creatinin were measured and a collagen ratio (CQ) was calculated. Results PICP decreased until 1st week, increased at 2nd week and decreased again after that time. ICTP increased significantly in 1st week, reached a maximum in 2nd week and decreased after that. b-AP decreased in 1st week but inc…
Nervenläsionen bei der Hüft-TEP-Implantation - Strategien zur Lähmungsprophylaxe
2003
Aim Nerve lesions are a serious complication of total hip arthroplasty. The incidence of lesions of large nerves exceeds those of luxation and septic loosening. An analysis of damage causes should lead to prophylactic strategies and improvement of operative technique. Patients are more aware of this complication and malpractice cases are increasing. Between 1977 and 2001 the medical association of North Rhine dealt with 126 cases of nerve lesions. Method All potential intraoperative causes for nerve damage are investigated. Results Incorrectly placed Hohmann retractors offer the largest damage potential. Electro surgery and self-cutting screws have a hazardous potential. Sharp injuries, ret…

The role of muscular trauma in the development of heterotopic ossification after hip surgery: An animal-model study in rats.
2015
Abstract Background Heterotopic ossification (HO), the formation of bone in soft tissues, is a frequent complication after surgery of the hip and the pelvis. Although the pathophysiological entities responsible for the formation of HO remain largely unclear, muscle trauma is alleged to play a central role in the pathogenic mechanisms underlying HO. However, for this observation, made by many surgeons for decades, no objective evidence has been provided yet. Methods Fifty male Wistar rats were subjected to surgery of the right hip. The femoral canal was reamed in three steps up to 2 mm. Animals formed 2 groups: in group 1 (25 animals) every effort was taken not to injure the muscles. In cont…
Pathogenesis and prophylaxis of circulatory reactions during total hip replacement
1993
Circulatory reactions such as a drop in blood pressure, bradycardia, cardiac arrest, and even intraoperative death after insertion of the stem are well known events during total hip replacement. The present paper reports bone marrow intravasation after rise of intramedullary pressure in the femoral cavity during insertion of hip prostheses, demonstrated by intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography. In an animal study, the ultrasound echoes were identified as "mixed emboli" consisting of a core of bone marrow surrounded by thrombus. These results suggested the use of an intramedullary plug to restrict the intravasation of bone marrow. A trial was undertaken in 60 total hip replacement …
