TL;DR
Patients undergoing THA after previous HA can be counselled that a prior HA is unlikely to compromise the functional result of subsequent arthroplasty, but the timing of conversion may be relevant to complication and revision rates.
BACKGROUND Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a complex intervention for patients with Crowe 3-4 high hip dislocations (HHD). The impact of age on outcomes in this patient group remains unclear. AIM The current study evaluates short- to mid-term outcomes of THA in patients younger and older than 60 years, focusing on co...
BACKGROUND Young patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) have high functional demands and expectations. This study compared postoperative functional outcomes between 2 age groups. METHODS In a prospective cohort study, the participants were divided into 2 groups: Group A consists of 35 patients aged under 35...
Background: Hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA) was developed as a bone-preserving alternative to conventional total hip arthroplasty (THA), particularly for young and physically active patients. However, concerns regarding metal-on-metal bearings have substantially restricted its use. This study evaluated the long-term...
Posttraumatic osteoarthritis (ptOA) of the knee accounts for 12.5% of all total knee arthroplasties (TKA) and is associated with significantly higher complication and revision rates than in TKA for primary osteoarthritis (pOA). However, the impact of ptOA on patient-reported outcomes is less clear. The purpose of this...
Introduction/Objective. The aim was to evaluate the clinical, functional, and radiographic outcomes, as well as implant survivorship, of primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using a rotating hinge knee (RHK) prosthesis in complex primary knees. Methods. This single-center, retrospective observational cohort study incl...
