Traumatic hip joint dislocations account for 2-5% of total joint dislocations. Bilateral asymmetric hip joint dislocation with anteriorly and posteriorly dislocation is an even more rare case because it was according to G. Loupasis reported in 11 cases only since 1879. We want to report 2 cases of bilateral asymmetric hip joint dislocation with unilateral acatabulum fracture which happened in our hospital. Bilateral asymmetric dislocation of hip joint accompanied by unilateral fracture of acetabulum is a very rare case so statistical verification cannot be done. However, close examinations are required at early treatment and follow-up because the patterns of dislocation and fracture of hip joint are variable and an orthopedic emergent condition and several complications may occur at both hip joints.

Dislocation after a total hip arthroplasty occurs in approximately 1% of patients; however, the frequency is much higher after revision surgery. To prevent dislocation, use of a larger femoral head is recommended, and a dual mobility femoral head has been introduced. However, reducing the dual mobility femoral head to the acetabular component is difficult in cases involving contracture in the soft tissue around the joint. A 72-year-old male patient who developed a periprosthetic joint infection underwent two-stage revision surgery using MUTARS^®. Two months after the revision, the hip joint became dislocated and manual reduction was attempted; however, dislocation occurred again. During another revision using a dual mobility bearing, the soft tissue around the hip joint was too tight to reduce. The problem was overcome by first repositioning the dual mobility head into the acetabular socket, followed by assembly of the diaphyseal portion of the implant.

In orthopedics, hip arthroplasty is the operation that replaces damaged hip joint to artificial joint. In hip arthroplasty, quite better result can be achieved if robot is applied to machine cavity in bone, especially when cementless stem is used. So several kinds of robots were introduced for hip arthroplasty, but they used MRI, CT Scan, vision analysis and real time tracking of bone position for registration of robot. To overcome shortage of conventional robot surgery, gauge based registration method was proposed and small robot was designed. In this method, small robot is mounted on femur, and its position is determined by gauge registration method. Operation procedure was performed on model femur and result was analyzed. This robotic hip surgery system is expected to more adaptable in operation room.

We report a case of transient osteoporosis of the hip with a femoral neck fracture found during follow-up. A 53-year-old man presented with left hip pain without trauma. The pain did not improve after 2 weeks and he was brought to our hospital by ambulance. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the left hip joint showed diffuse edema in the bone marrow, which was identified by low signal intensity on T1-weighted images, high signal intensity on T2-weighted images, and increased signal intensity on short tau inversion recovery. This edema extended from the femoral head and neck to the intertrochanteric area. He was diagnosed with transient osteoporosis of the left hip. Rest gradually improved his pain; however, 3 weeks later, his left hip pain worsened without trauma. X-ray, computed tomography, and MRI results of the hip joint demonstrated a left femoral neck fracture, and osteosynthesis was performed. Differential diagnoses included avascular necrosis of the femoral head, infection, complex regional pain syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, leukemia, and other cancers. Transient osteoporosis of the hip generally has a good prognosis with spontaneous remission within a few months to 1 year. However, a sufficient length of follow-up from condition onset to full recovery is necessary to avoid all probable complications such as fractures.

고관절에 위치한 골, 관절 및 주위 연부 조직의 병변은 고관절의 통증을 유발할 수 있다. 이를 진단하기 위해 기초적인 이학적 검사와 단순 방사선 검사를 시행하고, 경우에 따라 CT, MRI 등을 이용하였다. 그러나 건과 점액낭 등의 연부조직 병변 대해서는 초음파 검사가 비침습적이고 역동적인 검사가 가능하고, 고관절에 대한 수술 후 추시 검사 수단으로도 사용할 수 있다. 그러나 성인의 고관절은 심부에 위치하여 그 검사가 힘들고 비만인 환자에게는 적용하기 힘든 경우도 있다. 이에 고관절 주위의 구조물들의 정상적 초음파 소견과 고관절 질환의 병적 소견을 알아보고 또한 기타 활용 방안에 대해 설명하였다.

Hip articulation fusion is to relieve hip pain from pathologic joint problem. The questionnaire is followed by hip articulation fusion surgery in order to evaluate the degree of pain, function, mobility. However, this subjective evaluation is controversial. The patient endurance of pain which affect function and mobility of lower extremity call not assess objectively. Therefore, gait analysis is necessary for objective evaluation. This study is to evaluate objectively function and mobility after hip articulation fusion surgery using gait analysis.

Purpose: Resection remains the most reliable treatment for established heterotopic ossification, despite questions regarding its effectiveness due to the potential for complications. This study evaluated the clinical outcomes and complications of neurogenic heterotopic ossification (NHO) resection in stroke patients' ankylosed hips. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed nine hip NHO resections performed on seven patients from 2010 to 2018. The pre- and postoperative range of motion of the operated hip were compared. Analysis of postoperative complications, including infection, recurrence, iatrogenic fracture, and neurovascular injury was performed. Results: The mean operative time was 132.78±21.08 minutes, with a mean hemoglobin drop of 3.06±0.82 g/dL within the first postoperative week. The mean duration of postoperative follow-up was 52.08±28.72 months for all patients. Postoperative range of motion showed improvement from preoperative. Flexion and external rotation (mean, 58.89±30.60° and 16.67±18.03°, respectively) showed the greatest gain of motion of the operated hip joint. Postoperative infections resolved in two cases through surgical debridement, and one case required conversion to total hip arthroplasty due to instability. There were no recurrences, iatrogenic fractures, or neurovascular injuries. Conclusion: Resection is a beneficial intervention for restoring the functional range of motion of the hip in order to improve the quality of life for patients with NHO and neurological disorders. We recommend performance of a minimal resection to achieve a targeted functional arc of motion in order to minimize the risk of postoperative complications.

Purpose: Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) has an enormous physiological and psychological burden on patients. Surgeons rightly wish to minimise this risk. It has been shown that a standardised, evidence-based approach to perioperative care leads to better patient outcomes. A review of current practice was conducted using a cross-sectional survey among surgeons at multiple centers nationwide. Materials and Methods: An 11-question electronic survey was circulated to hip and knee arthroplasty consultants nationally via the BOA (British Orthopaedic Association) e-newsletter. Results: The respondents included 56 consultants working across 19 different trusts. Thirty-four (60.7%) screen patients for asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) preoperatively, with 19 (55.9%) would treating with antibiotics. Fifty-six (100%) screen for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and treat if positive. Only 15 (26.8%) screen for methicillin-sensitive S. aureus (MSSA) or empirically eradicate. Zero (0%) routinely catheterize patients perioperatively. Forty-one (73.2%) would give intramuscular or intravenous gentamicin for a perioperative catheterisation. All surgeons use laminar flow theatres. Twenty-six (46.4%) use only an impervious gown, 6 (10.7%) exhaust pipes, and 24 (42.3%) surgical helmet system. Five different antimicrobial prophylaxis regimens are used 9 (16.1%) cefuroxime, 2 (3.6%) flucloxacillin, 19 (33.9%) flucloxacillin and gentamicin, 10 (17.9%) teicoplanin, 16 (28.6%) teicoplanin and gentamicin. Twenty-two (39.3%) routinely give further doses. Conclusion: ASB screening, treatment and intramuscular gentamicin for perioperative catheterisation is routinely practiced despite no supporting evidence base. MSSA screening and treatment is underutilised. Multiple antibiotic regimens exist despite little variation in organisms in PJI. Practice varies between surgeons and centers, we should all be practicing evidence-based medicine.

Purpose: Hip microinstability is defined as hip pain with a snapping and/or blocking sensation accompanied by fine anatomical anomalies. Arthroscopic capsular plication has been proposed as a treatment modality for patients without major anatomic anomalies and after failure of properly administered conservative treatment. The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of this procedure and to evaluate potential predictors of poor outcome. Materials and Methods: A review of 26 capsular plications in 25 patients was conducted. The mean postoperative follow-up period for the remaining patients was 29 months. Analysis of data included demographic, radiological, and interventional data. Calculation of pre- and postoperative WOMAC (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis) index was performed. Pre- and postoperative sports activities and satisfaction were also documented. A P<0.05 was considered significant. Results: No major complications were identified in this series. The mean pre- and postoperative WOMAC scores were 62.6 and 24.2, respectively. The WOMAC index showed statistically significant postoperative improvement (P=0.0009). The mean satisfaction rate was 7.7/10. Four patients with persistent pain underwent a periacetabular osteotomy. A lateral center edge angle ≤21° was detected in all hips at presentation. We were not able to demonstrate any difference in postoperative evolution with regard to the presence of hip dysplasia (P>0.05), probably because the sample size was too small. Conclusion: Capsular plication can result in significant clinical and functional improvement in carefully selected cases of hip microinstability.
