Acetabular medial wall displacement osteotomy in total hip arthroplasty for treatment of adult hip hysplasia An 8-case analysis / 中国组织工程研究

ABSTRACT

The present study retrospectively analyzed 8 patients with hip dysplasia (8 hips) comprising 2 males and 6 females, aged 46 years old (range, 35-65 years old) who received treatment at the Department of Orthopedics, Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University between September 2004 and November 2006. Preoperative radiographs and CT examination showed that all patients presented with sharp angle of affected hip > 45°, poor containment of femoral head, narrow joint space, and non-successive Shenton's line. Following Crowe classification, there were 5 cases (5 hips) of grade Ⅱ,and 3 cases (3 hips) of grade Ⅲ. Preoperative Harris hip score was 50 points (range, 44-62 points). Total hip arthroplasty was employed in each patient. Prosthesis was fixed by Cementless or cemented modes. Cementless fixation was applied in 6 hips and cemented fixation in 2 hips. Cementless prosthesis was used on the affected side in each patient. Replacement time, bleeding volume during surgery, hospital days post-surgery, Harris scores, and peri-operative complications were recorded.Simultaneously, post-surgery healing was observed. All 8 cases were followed up for an average period of 6 months. All patients exhibited well recovered joint function. No infection, sciatic nerve injury, dislocation of hip joint, fracture of femoral shaft, thrombosis of deep veins, or prosthesis loosening were found in any follow-up case. Six months after surgery, Harris hip score was 88 points (range, 86-94 points). Radiographs taken at 3 months post-surgery displayed the bone union of surgical region. All these findings suggest that acetabular medial wall displacement osteotomy in total hip arthroplasty produces obvious early- and middle-stage effects in treatment of hip dysplasia.
