Femoral head fractures with associated hip dislocations substantially impact the functional prognosis of the hip joint and present a surgical challenge. The surgeon must select a safe approach that enables osteosynthesis of the fracture while also preserving the vascularization of the femoral head. The optimal surgical approach for these injuries remains a topic of debate. A 44-year-old woman was involved in a road traffic accident, which resulted in a posterior iliac dislocation of the hip associated with a Pipkin type II fracture of the femoral head. Given the size of the detached fragment and the risk of incarceration preventing reduction, we opted against attempting external orthopedic reduction maneuvers. Instead, we chose to perform open reduction and internal fixation using the Watson-Jones anterolateral approach. This involved navigating between the retracted tensor fascia lata muscle, positioned medially, and the gluteus medius and minimus muscles, situated laterally. During radiological and clinical follow-up visits extending to postoperative month 15, the patient showed no signs of avascular necrosis of the femoral head, progression toward coxarthrosis, or heterotopic ossification. The Watson-Jones anterolateral approach is a straightforward intermuscular and internervous surgical procedure. This method provides excellent exposure of the femoral head, preserves its primary vascularization, allows for anterior dislocation, and facilitates the anatomical reduction and fixation of the fracture.

A 6-year-old, 36.5 kg castrated male Golden Retriever presented for revision surgery for left total hip replacement. The patient underwent removal of the cup and head implants due to unmanageable prosthetic hip dislocation, despite revision surgery. On physical examination, the dog showed persistent weight-bearing lameness after exercise of the left hindlimb with mild muscle atrophy. Radiographic examination revealed dorsolateral displacement of the femur with a remnant stem and bony proliferation around the cranial and caudal acetabulum rims. The surgical plan was to apply the dual mobility cup to increase the range of motion and jump distance to correct soft tissue elongation and laxity caused by a prolonged period of craniodorsal dislocation of the femur. The preparation of the acetabulum for cup fixation was performed with a 29-mm reamer, and the 29.5-mm outer shell was fixed with five 2.4-mm cortical screws. The head and medium neck of the dual-mobility system were placed on the cup, and the hip joint was reduced between the neck and stem. The dog exhibited slight weight bearing on a controlled leash walk the day after surgery. The patient was discharged 2 weeks postoperatively without any complications. Six months postoperatively, osseointegration and a well-positioned cup implant were observed, and the dog showed excellent limb function without hip dislocation until 18 months of phone call follow-up.

This study aimed to analyse the initial results of five patients with symptomatic osteochondral lesions (OCL) and femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) who were treated successfully with osteochondral autologous transfer (OAT) and femoral neck osteochondroplasty (OCP) through surgical dislocation of the hip. Five patients with FAI and OCL of the femoral head who underwent surgery between 2015-2018 were studied retrospectively. All patients had a grade IV OCL, and the median defect size was 2 cm2 (interquartile range [IQR], 2-2). At the final follow-up, the modified Harris hip score showed a median value of 94 (IQR, 91-95) (P=0.04). Pain evaluation using the visual analogue scale showed a median value of 1 (IQR, 1-2) (P=0.04). Adequate graft union and healthy formation of the chondral surface were observed by magnetic resonance imaging. Although the procedure is demanding, the combination of OAT and femoral neck OCP appears to be an effective alternative in young patients.

Developmental dysplasia or dislocation of the hip is the most pronounced form of a condition in which the femoral heads tends progressively to leave the acetabulum. In the young child the variability of findings and course suggest a spectrum of conditions in which there are a number of common features: restriction of movement, particularly of abduction in flexion; shortening; and abnormal radiology, including a sloping or dysplastic acetabulum and delay in the appearance of the upper femoral epiphysis. It is vital to make the diagnosis of a congenital dislocation as soon after birth as possible. Conservative treatment with an abduction brace before the child run begins to walk is completely adequate, but after the age of 4 even surgical repositioning is difficult and after the age of 7 it is almost impossible. The aim of the study was to gain insight into the value of physical therapy of developmental dysplasia or dislocation after operation.

Purpose: Pelvis tilting in sagittal plane influences the acetabular cup position. Majority of total hip arthroplasty (THA) are performed in lateral decubitus surgical position. This study is to assess whether there is any difference in sacral slope between standing and lateral decubitus position and influence of this variation in planning acetabular cup anteversion. Materials and Methods: This is a prospective study including 50 patients operated between January 2020 to March 2022. Preoperative radiograph included lumbosacral spine lateral X-ray in standing, supine and lateral decubitus positions to calculate the sacral slope for assessment of anterior or posterior pelvic tilting. In our study, we determined the position of the acetabular cup based on changes in sacral slope between standing and lateral decubitus postures. For patients whose sacral slope increased from lateral decubitus to standing, we implanted the acetabular component with a higher degree of anteversion. Conversely, for patients with reverse phenomenon, the cup was inserted at lower anteversion. Results: Twenty-four patients (48.0%) had increase in sacral slope from lateral decubitus to standing whereas 26 patients (52.0%) had decrease in sacral slope. There was linear correlation between difference in preoperative sacral slope and postoperative cross table lateral cup anteversion. Harris hip scores improved from 40.78 to 85.43. There was no subluxation or dislocation in any patient at minimum 2-year follow-up. Conclusion: Individualized acetabular cup placement is important for better functional outcome in THA. Evaluation of pelvic tilting in lateral decubitus position is necessary for better positioning of acetabular cup and avoid postoperative complications.

Purpose: The purpose was to examine the clinical and radiological outcomes after surgical treatment of acetabular fractures with total hip arthroplasty with a dual mobility cup cemented into a porous multihole cup in the population of frail elderly patients. Materials and Methods: A retrospective review of 16 patients who underwent surgery (mean age, 76.7 years) with a mean follow-up period of 36.9 months was conducted. Following surgery, patients underwent postoperative follow-up at six weeks, three, six, and 12 months and clinical and radiological examinations were performed. Results: Classification of fractures was based on the Letournel classification. Following surgery, all patients were allowed weight-bearing as tolerated immediately postoperative. Fourteen patients showed maintenance of preoperative mobility status at one year. The mean Harris hip score was 64.8 (range, 34.7-82.8) and 80.0 (range, 60.8-93.8) at three months and one year, respectively. The mortality rate was 12.5% at one year (2/16). Complications included heterotopic ossification (2/16), deep venous thrombosis (1/16), heamatoma (1/16), and femoral revision due to a Vancouver B2 fracture (1/16). No case of deep infection, dislocation, or implant loosening was reported. Conclusion: Total hip arthroplasty using a dual mobility cup cemented into a porous multihole cup with locking screws resulted in a stable construct with a capacity for immediate weight-bearing as tolerated with rapid relief of pain. The findings of this study suggest that this procedure can be regarded as a safe method that has shown promising clinical and radiological outcomes for treatment of patients with medical frailty.

Purpose: Bipolar hemiarthroplasty has recently been acknowledged as an effective option for treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fracture. Trochanteric fragment nonunion can cause postoperative weakness of the abductor muscle and dislocation; therefore, reduction and fixation of the fragment is essential. The purpose of this study was to perform an evaluation and analysis of the outcomes of bipolar hemiarthroplasty using a useful wiring technique for management of unstable intertrochanteric fractures. Materials and Methods: A total of 217 patients who underwent bipolar hemiarthroplasty using a cementless stem and a wiring technique for management of unstable intertrochanteric femoral fractures (AO/OTA classification 31-A2) at our hospital from January 2017 to December 2020 were included in this study. Evaluation of clinical outcomes was performed using the Harris hip score (HHS) and the ambulatory capacity reported by patients was classified according to Koval stage at six months postoperatively. Evaluation of radiologic outcomes for subsidence, breakage of wiring, and loosening was also performed using plain radiographs at six months postoperatively. Results: Among 217 patients, five patients died during the follow-up period as a result of problems unrelated to the operation. The mean HHS was 75±12 and the mean Koval category before the injury was 2.5±1.8. A broken wire was detected around the greater trochanter and lesser trochanter in 25 patients (11.5%). The mean distance of stem subsidence was 2.2±1.7 mm. Conclusion: Our wiring fixation technique can be regarded as an effective additional surgical option for fixation of trochanteric fracture fragments during performance of bipolar hemiarthroplasty.

목적: 대퇴골 전치환술은 사지재건술의 극단적 술식 중 하나이며 증례가 드물어 이에 대한 연구는 주로 술식 후의 합병증에 대한 분석이며 본 술식의 적응증에 대한 분석은 미미하다. 저자들은 대퇴골 전치환술 36예의 1) 종양적 문제로 치환술을 받은 환자의 생존에 관련된 예후인자, 2) 치환물 및 하지의 생존율, 3) 치환물을 3년 이상 추시한 예의 합병증, 최종 하지 상태 및 기능적 결과를 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 대퇴골 전치환술을 받은 이유에 따라 원발성 종양에 의한 경우(15예, 1군), 오인 수술 및 국소재발로 인한 경우(16예, 2군), 재건물 실패로 인한 경우(5예, 3군)의 세 군으로 분류하였다. 환자 생존인자 분석 항목은 나이, 성별, 전치환술 원인, 항암요법 전후 종양 부피 변화, 절제연, 국소재발이었다. 결과: 전체 36예의 5년 환자 생존율은 31.5%±16.2%였다. 종양과 관련된 적응증으로 치환술을 받은 31예의 5년 생존율은 21.1%±15.6%였다. 항암요법 전후 종양의 크기가 같거나 감소한 10예의 5년 생존율은 50.0%±31.0%로 크기가 증가한 13예의 0.0%±0.0%보다 유의하게 높았다(p=0.02). 광범위 절제연을 얻은 12예의 5년 생존율은 41.7%±27.9%로 변연부 절제연의 0.0%±0.0% 보다 유의하게 높았다(p=0.03). 성별, 나이, 대퇴골 전치환술을 시행받은 원인, 치환술 후 국소 재발여부와 생존율과의 유의한 차이는 없었다. 치환물 36예에서 5년 생존율은 16.6%±18.2%였다. 하지의 10년 생존율은 85.9%±14.1%였다. 최종 추시상 종양인 공관절을 유지한 것이 12예, 회전성형술은 2예, 슬관절 상부 절단술 1예, 관절고정술 1예였다. 대퇴골 전치환술 후 3년 이상 추시가 가능했던 16예 중 수술이 필요했던 주 합병증이 14예, 보존적 치료만 했던 저등급 감염이 2예였다. 수술한 환자 14예 중 감염이 10예(71.4%)예, 국소재발이 2예, 고관절 탈구, bushing 파손, 대퇴동맥 폐색이 각각 1예였다. 결론: 종양과 관련된 적응증으로 대퇴골 전치환술을 시행한 환자 중 항암요법 후 종양의 크기가 커지거나 절제연이 불량한 경우, 환자가 조기에 사망하는 경우가 많았다. 따라서 전치환술의 시행에 신중해야 할 것으로 생각된다. 장기 생존 환자에서도 감염률이 높고 기능적 결과도 만족스럽지 않으나 현재 적응증을 고려했을 때 대퇴골 전치환술은 사지보존을 위한 최선의 방법으로 보인다.
