OTA 2002 - Session 2 Session II - Post-Traumatic Reconstruction Fri., 10/11/02 Post Traumatic Reconstruction, Paper #9, 3:00 PM Outcome after Arthrolysis of the Hip for Severe Heterotopic Ossification and Ankylosis Michael Skutek, MD ; Stefan Hanning; Ulrich Bosch, MD; Christian Krettek, MD, FRACS; Department of Trauma Surgery, Hannover Medical School, Hannover,...

Isolated acetabular revision can be associated with variable patient outcomes; there is a risk of hip instability. We evaluated 42 isolated acetabular revision operations and investigated the impact of patient age, diagnosis, bone stock, bone loss, bone augmentation, and obesity on pain and the Harris hip score. Preoperative radiographs were...

Metal-on-metal hip resurfacing is offered as an alternative to traditional THA for the young and active adult with advanced osteoarthritis. However, patients undergoing hip resurfacing may be predisposed to persistent groin pain due to insufficient head/neck offset, an uncovered acetabular component, or both. We therefore determined the incidence of groin...

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...

OTA 2002 - Session 6 Session VI - Geriatrics Sat., 10/12/02 Geriatrics, Paper #37, 11:15 AM How to Prevent Fixation Failure in Patients with an Osteoporotic Trochanteric Fracture Treated with Dynamic Hip Screw: A Prospective Randomized Study Antonio Moroni, MD ; Cesare Faldini, MD; Francesco Pegreffi, MD; Sandro Giannini, MD; Rizzoli...

Cementation for Femoral Head Osteonecrosis: A Preliminary Clinic Study. Clinical Orthopaedics & Related Research. 412:94-102, July 2003. Wood, Mark L. MD; McDowell, Cathy M. RN; Kelley, Scott S. MD Abstract: Treatment for femoral head osteonecrosis has been less successful in late stages of the disease, after progression to collapse. The current...

The Old Begets the New: Trochanteric Nail Insertion for Femoral Shaft Fractures, Revisited
Purpose : Intramedullary (IM) nailing of femoral shaft fractures through a trochanteric starting point with the patient in a lateral decubitus position was popularized in the 1940s by G. Kuntscher. Large diameter nails (without locks) were used to obtain an interference...

Bilateral THA improves pain, function in patients with bilateral hip ankylosis At final follow-up, the average Harris Hip Score had improved to 82.3 points from 55.4 points preoperatively, and 10 patients could walk unsupported.

Nonunion is an uncommon yet devastating complication following intertrochanteric hip fracture, and few reports in the literature address this problem. This study examines the results of intertrochanteric nonunion treated with the uncemented S-ROM prosthesis in 10 patients. All patients demonstrated clinically significant pain relief and return to ambulation following hemiarthroplasty...

Large-diameter metal-on-metal articulations reportedly provide better stability and range of motion than smaller diameter bearings. We therefore asked whether a large-diameter (44- to 50-mm) metal-on-metal articulation (Durom®) would eliminate dislocation and provide similar functional scores and clinical and radiographic failure rates as those with 28-mm articulation. We prospectively followed 181...
