Materials and Methods: We performed bipolar hemiarthroplasty for 15 femoral neck fractures using Berger's two- incision technique between December 2005 and July 2007. The mean age of the patients was 75.2 years old. Four of them had difficulty in walking due to the sequalae after stroke and five have been treated for psychoneurologic disorders. We investigated the operation time, the length of the anterior and posterior incisions, the amount of bleeding, the time untill walking after the operation, the total hospital stay, the recovery to activities of daily living and the complications such as dislocation. Results: The mean operating time was 93 minutes. The average anterior and posterior skin incision length was 6.4 cm and 7.2 cm, respectively. The mean amount of bleeding was 420 cc at the time of surgery and 230 cc postoperatively through a drain. The patients started walking at a mean of 3.3 (1 to 5) days after the operation and the mean hospitalization was 24.3 days. Fourteen patients went back to their pre-injured activities of daily living, except one case with an intraoperative periprosthetic fracture. As for complications, two cases (13.3%) of femoral fracture were intraoperatively observed and one case of skin necrosis on the anterior incision site occurred. There were not any cases of dislocation or infection. Conclusion: Two-incision bipolar hemiarthroplasty had advantages for rehabilitation in elderly patients who have a high risk of dislocation, as well as in the patients with muscle weakness. But the operation took a long time and it had a high complication rate.","PeriodicalId":410202,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of the Korean Hip Society","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124029364","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two types of solutions were prepared as lubricants: PBS (Phosphate Buffered Saline) as a control solution and BSA (Bovine Serum Albumin) as a lubricant at concentrations of 10, 20, 30 and 40 mg/ml in PBS solution. Results: There were statistically significant differences in the frictional coefficients (μ) of a Co-Cr head between the PBS control and all the concentrations of BSA (10, 20, 30, 40 mg/ml) (P<0.001). Similarly, there were statistically significant differences for the μ between the BSA concentrations of 10, 20, 30 and 40 mg/m for all the cases except between the BSA of 30 and 40 mg/ml (P<0.01).

The average age of the patients was 76.4 years (range: 65~90 years) and the average follow-up period was 13.4 months (range: 9~21 months). We evaluated the radiological results such as the neck-shaft angle and the sliding length of the lag screw at last follow-up and the clinical results such as intraoperative complications, the operation time, the postoperative blood loss and the incidence of fixation failure. Results: The average neck-shaft angle at last follow-up was 131.1 degrees and the average sliding length of lag screw was 3.6 mm. Two cases (5.6%) of femoral shaft fracture during the insertion of a lag screw or nail happened and one case of stress fracture of the femoral neck occurred.

Materials and Methods: A retrospective series of 20 hips in 19 patients who underwent stem revision with a fully porous-coated long stem were evaluated at a mean follow-up of 64.6 months. The causes of revision were aseptic loosening, periprosthetic fracture and infected arthroplasty. Four kinds of implants had previously been used and an additional bone graft procedure had been done in 17 cases. The Harris hip scores, thigh pain, limping and ROM were reported. Radiological changes of the radiolucent signs, subsidence, loosening and the stress shielding signs were evaluated. Results: The Harris hip score improved from an average of 56.5 to 91.9 and the ROMs were satisfactory. The only case with persistent thigh pain showed stable bony ingrowth. No signs of subsidence or loosening of the stem was found in all the cases. There were 2 cases of periprosthetic fracture. None of the patients experienced re-revision surgery. Conclusion: The mid-term results of revision hip arthroplasty using a fully porous coated long stem have demonstrated that it provides a reliable initial fixation with a propensity for stable longevity. It is relatively easy for the techniques, and there is the opportunity to restore the bone stock by bone-grafting procedures with diaphyseal fixation and bypassing a bone defect. Yet alternative techniques may be required for the femur with extensive diaphyseal bone loss. There are some concerns about the technique and the possibility of making a crack in the femur during the operation, which will cause thigh pain at the follow-up. So, only by employing great caution when performing this technique can successful results be guaranteed.","PeriodicalId":410202,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of the Korean Hip Society","volume":"257 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131793589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Materials and Methods: Between 1998 and 2005, we performed 167 consecutive revision total hip arthroplasties. Among them, twelve cementless femoral revision surgeries with a strut allograft and extensively porous-coated stems were retrospectively reviewed. The average follow up was 4.6 years. The average age at the time of the index revision was 55.9 years. The reasons for the revisions were periprosthetic fracture due to extensive osteolysis in 5 hips and aseptic loosening in 7 hips. Results: The Harris hip score improved from a mean of 40.8 points before revision surgery to a mean of 85.1 points at the latest follow up. Radiographic evidence of bony stable stems were present in 11 hips and a fibrous stable stem was present in 1 hip. Moderate stress-shielding was noticed in one hip. Nonunion of the allograft was observed in 1 hip due to deep infection. To date, no significant wear or osteolysis has been observed. Conclusion: Revision total hip arthroplasty with a strut allograft and an extensively porous-coated femoral stem for treating cases of extensive femoral bone loss seems to be a reasonable choice.

Risk factors, such as the type of fracture, type of implant, soft tissue dissection at the fracture site, communition of the medial cortex and degree of fracture displacement after the reduction, were compared to determine their effect on the rate of complications, such as nonunion and implant failure. Open reduction with a soft tissue dissection at the fracture site was performed in 34 cases, and a closed reduction was performed in 22 cases. Thirty five cases had medial cortex communition and 21 cases did not. Results: There were 8 cases of nonunion(14.3%). There was a positive correlation between the degree of fracture displacement after the reduction and the union time (P=0.017). The union time was longer when there was communition of the medial cortex. A subtrochanteric fracture using an open reduction tended to have a long union time but this was not statistically significant. There was no correlation between the type of implant and union time.
