Designing a morphologically well-fitted hip implant to a patient anatomy is desirable to improve surgical outcomes since a commercial ready-made hip implant may not well conform to the patient joint. In this study, biomechanical stability of patient-specific hip implants with two different stem lengths was compared and discussed using a 3D finite element analysis (FEA). The FEA results in this study showed that an increase in stem length brings about more the peaked von-Mises stress (PVMS) in the prosthesis and less in the femur. However the decrease in von-Mises stress in the femur causes stress shielding phenomenon that usually leads to considerable bone resorption. Although, in biomechanical stability point of view, this work recommends the use of smaller stems, the length of stem must be determined by considering both the von-Mises stress and the stress-shielding phenomenon.

The choice of suitable hip implant is one of important factors in the total hip arthroplasty (THA). In clinical view point, an improper adaptation of hip implant might induce abnormal stress distribution to the bone, which can shorten the lifespan of replaced hip implant. Currently, interest in the custom-designed hip implants has increased as studies reveal the significance of geometric shape of patient's femur in modeling and designing the implants. In this study, we have developed custom-designed hip implant models with various sizes, and analyzed the stress distribution in the bone and bone cement using the Finite Element Method. It was found that minimizing the gap between implant stem and femoral cavity is crucial to minimize the stress concentration in the bone.

고관절 시행에서 식립각도는 추후 환자의 운동범위나 힘의 분배조건에 따라 폴리에틸렌 라이너의 마모에도 영향을 미친다. 인공관절요소로부터 마모입자는 골괴사나 다른 생화학적으로 많은 합병증을 일으킨다. 이런 점에서 인공고관절에서 마모와 정렬각도를 수술 후 추시를 통해 측정하는 것은 중요하다. 특히 관절면의 마모를 측정하는 것은 그 량이 크지 않아 상당한 정밀도를 요구한다. 현재 널리 쓰이는 상용 소프트웨어는 재현성과 측정방법의 표준화가 되어 있지 않아 사용에 많은 어려움이 있다. 본 논문에서는 일반 병원의 방사선촬영 환경에서 CAD만 추가로 구비하면 행할 수 있는 인공관절면 마모와 식립각 측정법을 제시한다. 인공관절만의 X-ray영상을 이용한 본 방법의 정확도와 정밀도 평가를 수행하였다. 또한 실제 인공고관절환자의 X-ray영상을 가지고 2년추시에 따른 마모와 식립각을 측정하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 CAD를 이용한 방법은 마모측정에서 정확도 0.06 mm, 정밀도 0.05 mm, 식립각은 $0.27^{\circ}$의 정밀도를 갖는다.

Objective: Currently, rivaroxaban is widely used clinically for thromboprophylaxis after surgery. However, there are concerns on effectiveness and safety of rivaroxaban for its proper use. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of rivaroxaban in orthopaedic patients after total hip replacement surgery in a large medical centre after the preferred formulary was switched from enoxaparin to rivaroxaban. Methods: The study was conducted on the patients who underwent hip arthroplasty surgery at the department of Orthopaedic Surgery at Seoul St. Mary's Hospital, South Korea. Electronic medical records were retrospectively reviewed to identify patients treated with rivaroxaban following total hip replacement between February 2011 and March 2012. Evaluation criteria included indications for use, dose, initiation and duration of therapy, drug interactions, adverse reactions, and status of health care reimbursement. The patients who were on enoxaparin were also reviewed as a reference. Results: We identified 57 patients who received rivaroxaban and 50 who received enoxaparin. All patients were prescribed the drugs for Korean Food and Drug Administration-approved indications. No thromboembolic or bleeding events were observed in either group. However, only 5.3% of rivaroxaban- treated patients had an appropriate length of prophylaxis and only 3.5% began rivaroxaban treatment at the recommended time. Surprisingly, 47.4% of rivaroxaban-treated patients received rivaroxaban despite being ineligible for reimbursement benefits. Conclusion: Rivaroxaban was generally well tolerated clinically. However, the duration of treatment, the time of initiation and patient eligibility for reimbursement require improvements, emphasising the need for education which indicates the area of pharmacists' involvement.

PURPOSE: The aims of this study were to assess the intra-tester and inter-tester reliability and validity of hip range of motion using a smart phone in hip operative patients. METHODS: Twenty-five patients (eight total hip arthroplasty and seventeen femur neck fracture) participated in this study. The range of motions in active and passive hip flexion, abduction and external rotation were measured with a goniometer and smart phone over two times by two observers. The intra-tester and inter-tester reliability were evaluated using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC2,1). The validity was measured by Pearson's correlation coefficient RESULTS: The intra-observer reliability was good in all measured items (ICC>0.78). The inter-observer reliability was high with ICC (>0.90). All correlation coefficients of smart phone and goniometer was greater than 0.85 and showed a significant positive correlation (p<0.01). CONCLUSION: The range of motion measurement with a smart phone showed acceptable reliability. Therefore, it could be convenient and have economical benefits to measure the range of motion of the hip joint using a smart phone.

목적: 일반 수술용 침대와 길이가 짧은 대퇴 주대(short stem)를 이용하여 인공 고관절 전 치환술을 직접 전방 도달법(direct anterior approach, DAA)을 이용하여 시행하고, 임상적 영상의학적 결과를 변형된 전 측방 도달법(modified Hardinge; anterolateral approach, ALA)을 시행한 경우와 비교하여 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2013년 1월부터 2015년 11월까지 단일 술자가 DAA로 인공 고관절 전 치환술을 시행한(DAA group) 102명(102예)과 동 수의 ALA를 사용한 환자(ALA group)를 후향적으로 비교 분석하였다. 수술시간과 출혈량을 비교하였고, 수술 후 통증의 개선 정도와 보행 능력 및 고관절의 기능 회복을 알아보았다. 영상의학적으로 비구 컵과 대퇴 주대의 삽입 위치를 평가하였고, 두 군 간에 발생한 합병증을 알아보았다. 결과: 출혈량은 DAA group에서 유의하게 적었다(p=0.018). 수술 후 3주까지는 하지 근력의 회복이 DAA group에서 유의하게 높았다(굴곡/신전력 p=0.023, 외전력 p=0.031). Harris hip score를 이용한 기능 평가는 3개월까지(p≤0.001), Koval score를 이용한 보행 능력 평가는 6주까지(p≤0.001) DAA group에서 유의하게 나은 결과를 보였고, visual analogue scale score를 이용한 통증의 개선은 7일까지는 DAA group에서 유의하게 높았다(p=0.035). 비구 컵의 경사각(p≤0.001)과 전염각(p≤0.001)은 DAA group에서 ALA group보다 더 안정 범위에 위치하였고, 대퇴 주대의 위치와 하지 길이는 통계적 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. DAA group에서 수술 중 2예의 대전자 골절이 발생하였다(p=0.155). 결론: 길이가 짧은 대퇴 주대를 이용하여 일반 수술 침대에서 시행하는 DAA는 수술 후 조기 기능 회복을 보이며, 술자에게 친숙한 해부학적 자세로 수술 중 영상 증폭기 사용이 간편하여 원하는 위치에 인공 관절물을 삽입하는 것과 하지 부동 방지에 유용한 도달법으로 생각된다.

Background: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) recovers the alignment of the knee joint, but fails to automatically restore the alignment and function of the hip and ankle joints. It may affect the alignment and stability of the knee joint, therefore therapeutic intervention in hip and ankle joint is necessary for the rehabilitation process after TKA. Objects: The aim of this study was to comparison of the effects of the two exercise methods on the coronal plane alignment after TKA. This study conducted an experiment by dividing subjects into a lower extremity isometric co-contraction group (LEIC) and a quadriceps isolated isometric contraction (QIIC) group. Methods: A total of 37 subjects were randomly assigned to the LEIC ($n_1$=19) or the QIIC ($n_2$=18). Exercise was applied to five times per week for three weeks, starting on the eighth day after surgery. Range of motion exercises were performed as a common intervention and then each group performed quadriceps isometric contraction exercises with 10 sets of 5 repetitions. Radiological imaging was performed prior to surgery, one month and six months after surgery. In addition, the hip-knee-ankle angle (HKA) and tibiotalar angle (TTA) were measured. Results: The HKA was close to neutral in the LEIC rather than the QIIC (p<.05). The LEIC showed varus and the QIIC exhibited valgus TTA (p<.05). In a comparison of HKA and TTA over time, there was no significant change in either group (p>.05). According to the comparison of the TTA before surgery, the LEIC showed significant changes in the varus direction (p<.05), while there was no significant change in the QIIC (p>.05). Conclusion: The LEIC method triggered changes in the TTA and brought the HKA close to the neutral. Thus, LEIC is more effective than QIIC in creating stability in the coronal plane alignment of the knee and ankle joints after TKA.
