Foram analisados 30 pacientes, cuja idade variou de 70 a 95 anos, sendo 24 (80%) do sexo feminino e seis (20%) do masculino, que sofreram fratura do colo do fêmur e foram operados de artroplastia parcial do quadril entre 2001 e 2003, nos seguintes hospitais: Hospital Ipiranga SUS-SP e Hospital Estadual Mário Covas de Santo André-SP. A artroplastia parcial foi realizada nas fraturas do colo de fêmur instáveis Garden III e Garden IV, sendo utilizada a prótese parcial de Thompson cimentada. Foi aplicado o questionário de qualidade de vida SF-36. Os pacientes foram entrevistados no décimo primeiro mês de pós- operatório, com o objetivo de avaliar a qualidade de vida de pacientes idosos que sofreram fratura do colo do fêmur, tratados cirurgicamente com prótese parcial do quadril. Com relação à saúde física, os pacientes apresentaram baixa pontuação na capacidade funcional e alta nos quesitos referentes aos aspectos físicos, dor e estado geral de saúde. A saúde mental foi moderada quanto à vitalidade e alta nos aspectos sociais, emocionais e na saúde mental propriamente dita. Podemos concluir que a artroplastia parcial de Thompson, pós-fratura do colo do fêmur, em pacientes acima de 80 anos, analisados no período pós-operatório de 11 meses, permite uma boa qualidade de vida.

Objectivethe objective of this study was to present an analog method for preoperative planning of primary total hip arthroplasty procedures based on measuring the components by overlaying the transparencies of the prosthesis on the preoperative radiographs and checking the accuracy, both for predicting the size of the acetabular and femoral components used and for restoring the offset and correcting the dysmetria.Methodsbetween March 2005 and July 2009, 56 primary total hip arthroplasty procedures performed on 56 patients at the Mario Covas State Hospital in Santo André were analyzed. The measurements on the femoral and acetabular components obtained through planning were compared with those that were used in the surgery. The offsets measured through the preoperative planning were compared with those measured on the postoperative radiographs. Dysmetria was evaluated before and after the operation.Resultsaccuracy of 78.6% (p < 0.001) in predicting the size of the acetabular component and 82.2% (p < 0.001) in predicting the femoral nail was observed. The offsets measured through preoperative planning were statistically similar to the offsets measured on the postoperative radiographs. After the operation, we observed absolute equalization in 48.2% of the cases. In 87.5%, the dysmetria was less than or equal to 1 cm and in 69.6%, it was less than or equal to 0.5 cm.Conclusionsthe accuracy was 78.6% and 82.2%, respectively, for the acetabular and femoral components. The offsets that were planned preoperatively were statistically similar to those measured on postoperative radiographs. We found absolute equalization in 48.2% of the cases.

From May 1990 to November 1997, 24 cases of severe slipped capital femoral epiphysis were treated by an osteotomy that is a modification of the Hungria-Kramer intertrochanteric osteotomy proposed by Sugioka (Hungria-Kramer-Sugioka osteotomy or HKS osteotomy). The degree of displacement as seen on the frog-leg lateral radiograph of the proximal femur was measured according to the deviation of the longitudinal axis of the epiphysis from the center line of the neck (Fish classification). All hips were considered as grade III and underwent HKS osteotomy. Sugioka's radiographic study (true AP view with the limb internally rotated until the patella is perpendicular to the x-ray beam, and lateral view with the hip in 90 degrees flexion and 45 degrees abduction) was performed before surgery to show that the real direction of the slip was posterior in relation to the neck. Clinical results were assessed according to Merle-D'Aubigné and Postel system modified by Charnley (hip score system that takes into consideration pain, gait, and joint motion). Roentgenographic results were considered good if none of the following was present: joint space decreased by more than 2 mm (chondrolysis), avascular necrosis of the femoral head, neck-shaft angle of less than 120 degrees, nonunion at the osteotomy site, and a epiphyseal plate still open. Follow-up varied from 31 to 120 months (average 65.1 months).
