Clinical Outcomes of Total Hip Arthroplasty for Fractured Neck of Femur in Patients Over 75 Years

Higher UHMWPE wear-rate in cementless compared with cemented cups with the Saturne® Dual-Mobility acetabular system

“…The primary limitation of the study is the potential patient selection since 30% of patients were dead at the time of the follow-up and only 50% of remaining patients (n = 127) participated in radiological evaluation and clinical examination. Thus, we probably evaluated only the best of the patients at follow-up, and OHS of mean 36.4 and HHS of mean 78.7 also indicate that the patients had a fair functional level, comparable to other functional outcome studies after FNF operated with THA (43-46). Taking into account the naturally high mortality rate and comorbidities in FNF patients, we would likely have lost even more patients at an eventual longer follow-up.…”

Minimally Invasive and Open Distal Chevron Osteotomy for Mild to Moderate Hallux Valgus

“…In Turnbull and Grange's 28 series, they found shortening of up to 8 mm acceptable and our previous study found no correlation between degree of shortening and clinical outcome. 26 In our series, MIS and open surgery had no mean differences in shortening (Open, 3.7 mm; MIS, 5 mm; P = .55), and there were no cases of transfer metatarsalgia. If the burr is directed in a distal direction, then when the lateral translation occurs there is a relative restoration in length of the metatarsal, which also helps to reload the first metatarsal reducing the risk of transfer metatarsalgia.…”

Comparison of Functional Outcomes and Associated Complications in Patients Who Underwent Total Hip Arthroplasty for Femoral Neck Fracture in Relation to Their Underlying Medical Comorbidities

“…Functional outcomes and complications in patients with femoral neck fracture treated with THA were analyzed in relation to comorbidity statuses. The aim of hip fracture surgery in the elderly is to remove pain and provide the best functional results while minimizing complications and revision rates21). Femoral neck fracture is a debilitating condition and associated comorbidities may increase institutional demands and hospital stay; research on this topic has been very limited in Korea.…”
