Clinical Application of Total Hip Replacement

Use of an Electron Beam Melting Manufactured Titanium Collared Cementless Femoral Stem to Resist Subsidence After Canine Total Hip Replacement

“…The technique and instrumentation for implanting the Ti EBM collared stems was the same as for CoCr stems and as described. [9][10][11] All procedures were performed by 1 surgeon (W.D.L.). The only difference was the use of the Ti EBM collared stem itself.…”

Influence of radiographic techniques on the measurement of femoral anteversion angles and a conformation score of pelvic limbs inLabrador retrievers

“…In addition, the excessive soft tissue superimposition associated with the caudocranial horizontal beam projection makes the radiographic landmarks of the proximal portion of the femur and coxofemoral joint difficult to outline precisely, thereby hindering the assessment of FAA. A craniocaudal view, obtained with a horizontal beam directed perpendicular to the femur, with the hip extended has also been used in dogs undergoing total hip replacement . To the best of our knowledge, these alternatives have not been validated.…”

Revision of a Press Fit Biological Fixation Stem Fracture in a Dog

“…A 13-mmdiameter þ5 mm prosthetic head (BioMedtrix) was impacted on the trunnion. 17 Postoperative radiographs were acquired. Follow-up clinical examination and radiographs of the pelvis were performed at 12 weeks after surgery.…”

“…15,16 The biological fixation system (BFX) is a cementless hip prosthesis in which the cup and stem are designed to achieve initial press-fit stability and, later on, long-term stability through porous bone ingrowth. 17 This report describes a clinical case of a BFX femoral stem neck fracture (fatigue failure) and its revisions.…”
