Short term results of cementless total hip arthroplasty in sicklers

Abstract: Background:Sickle cell (SC) disease leading to endarteritis induces skeletal changes in the form of osteitis, sclerosis of femoral canal and osteonecrosis of the femoral head. All these make total hip arthroplasty (THA) difficult and prolonged. There is increased risk of infection, SC crisis and increased complication rate. Our paper aims to highlight preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative hurdles encountered in performing THA in sicklers and the short term outcome using cementless implants.Materials a… Show more

“…This was a retrospective study, so the analyses of the surgical complications were limited by a lack of clinical detail. Additionally, the published studies we reviewed contained low levels of evidence: the majority were non-randomized retrospective case series reporting outcomes over the last 40-50 years [26][27][28][29][30].…”

“…The most important limits of these recommendations are due to the fact that articles from the literature come from America, Europe, and the Middle-East, while nearly 90% of the world’s SCD population lives in three countries: Nigeria, India, and the Democratic Republic of Congo; and the English-language literature does not give many data about THA in these countries. 22 …”
