ABSTRACT

AIM: The purpose of this study was to analyse the extent of surgical correction and the early clinical results obtained using periacetabular osteotomy with allogenic bone grafting in patients with severe acetabular dysplasia. METHODS: 44 hips in 38 patients were confirmed to have severe acetabular dysplasia and underwent this procedure. The mean follow-up period was 4.2 (range 1.5-8.2) years. Severe acetabular dysplasia was defined as a centre-edge angle less than 0°, an acetabular-head index less than 50% and an acetabular roof obliquity greater than 30°. Periacetabular osteotomy was performed with transpositional osteotomy of the acetabulum. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to the radiographic appearance: 34 hips in the early stage group and 10 hips in the advanced stage group. Postoperatively, the hips were radiographically assessed for dysplasia correction. The clinical results and hip function were measured using the Harris Hip Score. RESULTS: The average preoperative Harris Hip Score improved from 70 to 91 points at the latest follow-up. The average centre-edge angle, acetabular-head index and acetabular roof obliquity improved from -9° to 36°, 41% to 91% and 31° to 2°, respectively. Continuity of the Shenton line improved from 15 to 35 hips. No instances of nonunion or of transported segment collapse were encountered in this series; however, a grafted allogenic bone was absorbed in 1 case. CONCLUSIONS: The usage of allogenic bone grafting combined with periacetabular osteotomy is an effective technique for treating severe acetabular dysplasia. In this series, the early clinical and radiographic results were excellent.

ABSTRACT

Revision surgery is one of the most difficult reconstructive challenges facing orthopaedic surgeons; therefore, many new techniques and implants are needed to ensure that such patient can be successfully treated. We report a 66-year old female with a chronic dislocated bipolar hip prosthesis. She underwent a revision total hip arthroplasty combined with V-shaped subtrochanteric shortening osteotomy. This report demonstrates that V-shaped subtrochanteric shortening osteotomy can be used for revision surgery. Nevertheless, this technique is not suitable for all hip revisions, and the indications and various possible procedures and devices should be carefully considered to select the best treatment for each patient. We believe that the current report provides evidence supporting a new technical option for complex cases during revision THA.

ABSTRACT

The risk of periprosthetic joint infection from hematogenous bacterial seeding is increased in patients undergoing dental procedures that facilitate the development of bacteremia. We herein report the case of a patient without a history of dental procedures who suffered from an acute metastatic infection of a hip prosthesis by the oral bacterium Streptococcus mutans 18 months after undergoing revision total hip arthroplasty. The patient was successfully treated by two-stage revision surgery. It is important to realize that the efficacy of antibiotic prophylaxis against joint infections has not yet been convincingly proven. As a result, optimal dental hygiene and regular dental visits may be more important than antibiotic prophylaxis for maintaining joint health. Therefore, orthopedic surgeons should educate patients with joint prostheses about good oral health.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Subtrochanteric femoral shortening and corrective osteotomy are regarded as an integral part of total hip arthroplasty for a completely dislocated hip or severe deformity of the proximal femur. Alternative femoral osteotomy techniques-transverse, oblique, step-cut, and V-shaped, have been described. METHODS: In this series, we performed 22 cementless total hip arthroplasties combined with double-chevron subtrochanteric osteotomies between 1997 and 2002. There were 17 females and 2 males. Their average age at the time of the operation was 59 years (range 41-74 years). Thirteen hips were completely dislocated, 8 hips needed treatment after a proximal femoral osteotomy, and there was 1 case of hip ankylosis. RESULTS: The mean length of the operation was 128 min (range 80-215 min). Mean total blood loss was 1442 g (range 809-2007 g), which included both the intraoperative blood loss and postoperative blood loss. After an average of 7.6 years of follow-up, the Japanese Orthopaedic Association Hip Score improved from 48 to 79. Three types of complication were observed. There were 4 early dislocations, 3 proximal splits, and 1 nonunion at the osteotomy site. CONCLUSIONS: Our study shows that acceptable results are obtained from double-chevron subtrochanteric osteotomy for subtrochanteric femoral shortening and corrective osteotomy. However, total hip arthroplasty combined with subtrochanteric osteotomy is a technically demanding treatment option.
