Site to calculate the Harris Hip Score

Goldmine of orthopaedic scores and scoring systems. 10 surgeon based and 20 patient based scoring systems for all regions of the musculoskeletal system. Includes: Harris Hip Score, Knee Society Score, Oxford Knee Score, WOMAC, Cincinatti Knee Score, Tegner Lysholm, American Foot & Ankle Score AFAS, UCLA Shoulder Rating Scale, Mayo...

This is the home of the Joint Replacement Unit (JRU) - the prosthetic team at Sahlgrenska University Hospital. One of our responsibilities is the maintenance and development of the Swedish National Hip Arthroplasty Register. Responsible for the content on this site is Professor Johan Kärrholm, MD, PhD, Göran Garellick, MD,...

Abstract Total hip arthroplasty, or surgical replacement of the hip joint with an artificial prosthesis, is a reconstructive procedure that has improved the management of those diseases of the hip joint that have responded poorly to conventional medical therapy. In this review we briefly summarize the evolution of total hip arthroplasty,...

Reconstruction of the Pelvis Using a Segmental Autograft of the Ipsilateral Femur
J. Puget
Tumours of the pelvis are doubly difficult to manage: not only does the growth have to be removed, but means have to be devised to guard against postoperative loss of function if the tumour site has involved the...

Deep hip infection is a rare complication of intertrochanteric fractures and an optimal treatment has not yet been reported. Twenty-seven patients who contracted deep hip sepsis following the failed primary treatment of an intertrochanteric fracture were treated with two-stage hip arthroplasty. Antibiotic-impregnated cement beads were implanted following resection arthroplasty in...

Computed tomography (CT) may more accurately assess the healing of grafted osteolytic lesions around acetabular components compared with plain radiographs, although clinical validation is lacking. To determine whether clinical or micro-CT imaging could assess accurately the grafted lesion compared with histology, we therefore quantified bone healing and ingrowth to determine...

Wear of highly cross-linked polyethylene is reportedly independent of head size. To confirm that observation we asked in our population whether head size related to wear with one type of electron beam highly cross-linked polyethylene.
We found no association between femoral head size and the linear wear rate, but observed...

Total hip arthroplasty after previous arthrodesis has been associated with increased complications and decreased survivorship of the prosthesis. We evaluated pain, function, and the factors influencing survivorship of total hip arthroplasties after previous arthrodesis between 1985 and 2000 and compared these results with those obtained in prior years with the...

Reconstruction of the Type II pelvic resection is challenging. Currently available reconstructive options have inherent problems including graft and implant failure, pain, poor function, and high major complication rates. The periacetabular reconstruction (PAR) endoprosthesis was designed to be secured with internal fixation and bone cement to the remaining ilium and...

The current study asks the questions, "Does femoroacetabular impingement occur after hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA) and, if so, what are the clinical outcomes?"
CONCLUSIONS: Small, corticated, non-progressive erosions can occur from femoroacetabular impingement following HRA. The erosions were more commonly posterior in this series, and they tended to occur in active...

Questions/Purposes The purpose of this study was to prospectively compare the results and complications of robotic-assisted and hand-rasping stem implantation techniques.
Conclusions Substantially more precise implant positioning seems to have led to less variance in limb-length inequality and less stress shielding of the proximal femur 5 years postoperatively.
A comparison between robotic-assisted and manual...

The accuracy and precision of any computer-aided surgical device is critical to its utility. We asked the following question: how accurate and precise are the values measured by an imageless computer navigation system as compared with those measured using postoperative CT scans? Twenty-five patients (26 hips) underwent primary THA using...

Results Eight hips (of 69) were revised (three for infection and five for aseptic loosening) and one hip dislocated for which open reduction was necessary. One additional cup was considered a radiographic failure. The 10-year survival was 83% (95% confidence interval, 69%–92%) with revision for any reason as the end point...
