The objective was measure quadricep strength after Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) and kinetic treatment and then determine its impact on the functional recovery of patients with hip osteoarthritis. A total of 79 (25 were male and 54 were female) patients with THA. Exclusion criteria were previous extra-system kinetic treatment, operated on for hip fracture, not completing the treatment. Maximum Isometric Strength (MIS), Time Up and Go (TUG), Modified Harris Hip Score. There was a significant increase in the MIS of the post-treatment operated knee extension in both men and women (p < 0.0001 SE = 0.43; p < 0.0001 SE = 1.22, respectively). In the TUG, the execution time was significantly lower post-treatment in both men and women (p < 0.0001 SE = 0.77; p < 0.0001 SE = 0.94, respectively). The final Harris score increased significantly post-treatment in male and female (p < 0.0001 SE = 2.90; p < 0.0001 SE = 1.96, respectively). the association between MIS and the Harris score, it was noted that, for a 1 kg increase in this measure compared to the initial assessment, the Harris score, after 12 weeks of treatment, increased by 0.179 points (b = 0.179; p = 0.050). The conclusions were Indicate an increase in knee extension MIS of the operated hip after treatment in both sexes. At the same time, functionality increased post-treatment in both male and female.

Progressive pseudorheumatoid dysplasia (PPD) is an autosomal recessive hereditary disease of very low prevalence. It is characterized by the affection of multiple joints, generating arthrosis and progressive deformities from a very young age, which significantly affect the quality of life of patients. Its diagnosis is only confirmed by genetic testing, and no specific pharmacological treatment is still available. In the case of hip involvement, one treatment option is arthroplasty. In this case report, we present a 15-year-old boy with bilateral coxarthrosis secondary to PPD who underwent bilateral total hip arthroplasty in two stages. We highlight the characteristics of this rare entity, the intraoperative findings, the functional outcomes, and the impact on quality of life. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Recently, it has been recognized that changes in sagittal alignment and spinopelvic mobility due to alterations of the lumbosacral spine can influence the dislocation of a hip replacement. The biggest difficulties for this problem are: a) the bibliography related to this topic has been written in English and there is confusion in its terminology; b) there is no consensus on what parameters should be used to identify, measure, and estimate the risks of dislocation occurring; c) the basic concepts that interrelate spinal disorders and prosthetic dislocation are not clearly understood; and d) spine and hip surgeons pursue different goals. The objective of this narrative review is to overcome the aforementioned difficulties by using a strategy to answer some questions: Is hip dislocation really a problem? What is the interrelationship between alterations in the pelvic spinal balance and the dislocation of a prosthesis? How is sagittal balance and lumbosacral mobility defined and how can their alterations be measured? What are their compensatory mechanisms to achieve a good functioning and how these mechanisms can be used to correctly orient the acetabulum? To document this review, we consulted the databases of PubMed, Scopus, SciELO and Google Scholar with the keywords: Spinopelvic, Total Hip Arthroplasty, Hip Dislocation, Spine-Pelvis-hip Arthroplasty. The articles that, in the author's opinion, were the most objective and/or relevant for the study of this topic were selected. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Long COVID is a term used to describe the long-terms effects of COVID-19 infection that continue for weeks or months after the patient has recovered from COVID-19. Long COVID is defined by the persistence of symptoms beyond 12 weeks from the onset of the disease. Corticosteroids are part of the treatment in this period with good results in controlling the disease; however, it is a predisposing factor for the development of avascular necrosis. We present a clinic case of a young man of 39 years old with diagnosis of avascular necrosis in his left hip, before the administration of corticosteroids for the treatment of COVID-19. There is a lack of consensus about the dosage and duration of steroids required to develop avascular necrosis. Some authors have reported that cumulative dose of 2,000 mg prednisone (or its equivalent) was required for avascular necrosis development. For patients with advanced avascular necrosis stages total hip arthroplasty is an attractive option with excellent outcomes in terms of pain relief and survivorship. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: the analysis of spinopelvic imbalance in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty has gained significance in recent years, being recognized as a risk factor for instability. Few reports exist regarding the prevalence of spinopelvic alterations in Latin American literature. The aim of this study is to determine the frequency of spinopelvic imbalance in our patients and to associate them with functional outcomes. Material and methods: 29 patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty using a lateral approach (32 arthroplasties) were included. All patients completed clinical outcome questionnaires preoperatively. Twelve months after surgery, they underwent anteroposterior pelvic and lateral pelvic X-rays, both standing and sitting, and clinical outcome questionnaires were completed. The radiographic parameters examined were: pelvic incidence, lumbar lordosis, sacral slope, anterior pelvic plane and pelvic femoral angle. Functional outcome was assessed with the Harris Hip Score and WOMAC scales. Patients were classified according to their spinopelvic alteration and statistical analysis was performed to identify significant differences between the groups and the correlation with functional outcomes. Results: there was a high frequency of spinopelvic balance alterations (46.8%); 6.2% (n = 2/32) presented isolated spinal stiffness (group 1B), 37.5% (n = 12/29) spinal deformity without spinal stiffness (group 2A) and 3.1% (n = 1/29) spinal deformity associated with stiffness (group 2B). We found no improvement in HHS and WOMAC scores in the groups with spinal stiffness (1B and 2B) (p = 0.98 y 0.15). There is association between spinal stiffness (ΔSS < 10°) and poor functional outcomes (p = 0.02). Conclusions: the frequency of spinopelvic balance alterations was high. While there was no observed rise in prosthetic dislocations, the existence of spinal stiffness, defined by a ASS of less than 10°, was associated to poor outcomes on functional scales.

There are different types of infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the pulmonary variety is the most common of them; infection of the bone secondary to joint replacement, is usually caused by a previous lung infection that has been disseminated. However primary bone infection is very rare and little reported, which makes information on the matter very scarce. A female patient is presented with a history of congenital hip dysplasia, who underwent multiple surgical interventions, including total hip arthroplasty (THA), afterwards she presented a fistula and persistent serous exudate; a biopsy was performed where acid-fast bacilli were detected. The delay in the diagnosis of osteoarticular tuberculosis (OATB) can lead to negative consequences, affecting the quality of life of the patient. Conventional diagnostic methods may be insufficient for the diagnosis of OATB. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The direct anterior approach (DAA) for total hip arthroplasty has been popularized in the last decade as a minimally invasive approach used by many surgeons, including the authors, to preserve the integrity of muscle groups and their insertions and the dynamic hip stability resulting in less surgical trauma and faster recovery process with decreased postoperative pain. This surgical approach is not without a variety of complications and pitfalls. This review aims to identify any potential drawbacks and challenges associated with the DAA in THA and guide surgeons on minimizing and avoiding them. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introducción: Existen más de 20 técnicas diferentes para corregir la discrepancia de miembros inferiores. El método que aquí se evalúa se basa en una clavija fija posicionada en el ala ilíaca asociada a un “calibre” móvil, con otra clavija con la que se marca la referencia en el trocánter mayor. Objetivo: Evaluar la confiabilidad de este dispositivo de medición usado durante la artroplastia total de cadera para restaurar la longitud del miembro inferior y el offset femoral. Materiales y Métodos: Se formaron dos grupos: grupo A con pacientes en quienes no se había usado el dispositivo y grupo B con pacientes en quienes sí se había usado el dispositivo. Se realizaron las mediciones en la radiografía panorámica de pelvis obtenida con el paciente de pie, antes de la cirugía y 3 meses después. Resultados: Se obtuvo una muestra de 80 pacientes (40 por grupo). Se logró corregir la discrepancia de la longitud de los miembros, pero no se hallaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en la corrección promedio, entre ambos grupos (p = 0,07). Sin embargo, al analizar la varianza en la corrección de la discrepancia de la longitud de cada grupo se obtuvo una diferencia estadísticamente significativa (p

Introducción: En los últimos años, la introducción de diversas técnicas, el instrumental quirúrgico y las competencias del cirujano han contribuido a disminuir las complicaciones tempranas que pueden sobrevenir luego de una artroplastia de cadera. Las complicaciones más frecuentes son: el aflojamiento femoral, la trombosis venosa profunda y la luxación. Objetivos: Evaluar la tasa de complicaciones intraoperatorias y durante los primeros 12 meses luego de una artroplastia de cadera por vía anterolateral directa; y comparar los resultados con la serie publicada en 2007. Materiales y Métodos: Estudio de cohorte retrospectivo que incluyó a pacientes operados por artrosis primaria de cadera en 2 instituciones, divididos en: grupo I (468 pacientes operados entre junio de 1999 y junio de 2003) y grupo II (344 pacientes operados entre enero de 2018 y enero de 2020). Resultados: La tasa global de complicaciones en la nueva serie fue del 4,7%. La trombosis venosa profunda fue la complicación que más se repitió, no hubo episodios de luxación. El empleo de cabezas de 22 mm de diámetro se asoció con un riesgo de luxación más alto que con cabezas más grandes (OR = 6,7; IC95% 1,2-78,2). Conclusiones: La artroplastia total de cadera con abordaje anterolateral transglúteo directo causó una baja tasa global de complicaciones dentro del primer año de la cirugía. Las complicaciones se redujeron casi a la mitad en las cirugías realizadas entre 2018 y 2020, con respecto a la serie anterior, fundamentalmente a expensas de la luxación.

La artroplastia total de cadera es una cirugía eficaz para tratar la artrosis. Con el aumento de la necesidad de una mejor calidad de vida, este procedimiento se está realizando en pacientes más jóvenes. Pero, con la mayor expectativa de vida, también crece la demanda de múltiples cirugías de revisión para el mismo paciente. Esto plantea desafíos técnicos debido a la pérdida de hueso. Existe una necesidad creciente de identificar implantes duraderos y altamente funcionales que sean adecuados para la revisión futura. Aunque los vástagos femorales cementados eran la opción principal en el pasado, los vástagos femorales no cementados han logrado una fijación a largo plazo y excelentes resultados. Sin embargo, aún se pueden mejorar algunos problemas relacionados con la fijación. Los vástagos femorales cortos han sido desarrollados para abordar algunos de estos desafíos, mientras se mantienen los buenos resultados obtenidos con los vástagos convencionales. En este artículo, se analiza la experiencia tras 10 años de uso de vástagos femorales cortos en cirugías de cadera en pacientes jóvenes. Se comparan los resultados biomecánicos y la preservación ósea femoral, se reportan los resultados posoperatorios en relación con el regreso al deporte, y se evalúan las complicaciones relacionadas con su uso. El empleo de vástagos cortos en cirugía primaria de cadera brinda múltiples ventajas. La indicación de este tipo de implante está justificada en pacientes jóvenes y activos, con el objetivo de reproducir los resultados de los implantes convencionales con un menor consumo de hueso y la posibilidad de una revisión futura.

Introduction: hip revision arthroplasty surgery is a surgical procedure that has been growing in recent years. Revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a notable surgical challenge due to the technical difficulty of the surgery itself. Complications of revision surgery includes dislocation, aseptic loosening, and infection. Objective: to compare the clinical-radiological results, as well as the incidence of complications, of two independent samples of patients who underwent revision total hip arthroplasty (rTHA) with mild-moderate acetabular defects using dual mobility implants compared to monopolar implants. Material and methods: retrospective comparative study of two cohorts of 30 patients who underwent acetabular revision surgery using large 36 mm monopolar heads or dual mobility respectively. All patients had Paprosky type I or II acetabular defects. The results on the VAS scale, WOMAC, and Harry hip score (HHS) were evaluated pre and postoperatively in both cohorts. Likewise, the incidence of postoperative complications and the survival rate between both groups were analyzed. Results: mean follow-up was 5.8 years (1-10.3 years). The difference between the pre and postoperative results in each cohort was significant for the VAS, WOMAC and HHS scale. The differences obtained in these scales between the different study groups did not find significant differences. The incidence of postoperative complications between both cohorts was similar, without finding significant differences. Conclusions: we consider that dual mobility does not provide superiority in terms of clinical-functional results and incidence of postoperative complications with respect to monopolar assemblies in acetabular revision surgery with mild-moderate defects.

Introducción: La enfermedad de Paget es un trastorno metabólico de etiología desconocida, secundario a un incremento en la función de los osteoclastos y la consecuente respuesta de los osteoblastos a la formación exagerada de hueso. Compromete con mayor frecuencia el fémur proximal y, a menudo, se diagnostica incidentalmente. Se presenta el caso de una mujer con antecedente de enfermedad de Paget y pseudoartrosis de cadera izquierda, con indicaciones de prótesis total de cadera izquierda y un episodio único de luxación, sin complicaciones posteriores y una adecuada evolución. Conclusión: El manejo quirúrgico en casos de fractura de cadera permite restablecer la marcha y mejorar la calidad de vida de los pacientes con enfermedad de Paget. A pesar de ser una patología que dificulta el manejo de los pacientes, la enfermedad de Paget no es una contraindicación para la artroplastia total de cadera y permite mejorar el dolor y recuperar la funcionalidad

Introduction: the current literature relates the return to driving with multiple variables. For various reasons, the current data on the time to return to driving after a total hip arthroplasty (THA) are diverse and even contradictory. We have proposed the objective of determining the time required to drive a manual gear vehicle again in a group of patients who underwent primary THA through a posterolateral approach with focus on manual gear cars. Material and methods: we have studied the functional results of 112 patients who underwent primary THA between January 2019 and January 2020 in a high level in Cadiz, Andalusia, Spain. Results: the median return to driving was three weeks (IQR 2-4). We have identified that 89.3% of the patients were able to drive again before the sixth week after surgery and in 92% of the cases they did so feeling even safer than before the THA. Conclusion: we consider that after the sixth week of an THA it is safe to resume driving a vehicle. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

En este estudio retrospectivo fueron seleccionados 184 pacientes sometidos a artroplastía total primaria de cadera. 95 fueron abordados por la región ántero lateral y 89 por la posterior, desde junio de 1993 a junio de 1997. Los eventos evaluados fueron parámetros perioperatorios (tiempo quirúrgico, de internación hospitalaria, e intervalo entre cirugia y el alta, hemorragia y necesidad de transfusión sanguínea), y complicaciones (trombosis venosas proftindas, embolia pulnionar. lesión de nervio periférico, inestabilidad de la prótesis y otras). Los dos grupos no di ferian en cuanto a las indicaciones preoperalorias. Los pacientes de abordaje posterior tuvieron un tiempo quirúrgico reducido (p < 0,001). además de presentar menores hemorragias transoperatonas (p < 0.05) y necesidad de transfusión post operatoria (p < 0.001). Los grupos no diferían en cuanto a los demás parámetros y complicaciones, que tuvieron baja frecuencia. El abordaje posterior ha sido realizado con éxito por el Grupo de Cirugia de Cadera del Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre, siendo una excelente opción de acceso quirúrgico para artropl astía total de cadera.

Introducción: La mala alineación de los tallos femorales no cementados sigue siendo un tema controvertido. Algunos autores han comunicado una inadecuada osteointegración y hundimiento en los tallos en varo y otros no encontraron dichos efectos adversos, pese a la incorrecta alineación. Los objetivos de este estudio fueron determinar la prevalencia de tallos no cementados con cobertura total de hidroxiapatita en deseje coronal y mostrar los resultados clínico-radiográficos a largo plazo. Materiales y Métodos: Estudio retrospectivo entre 2006 y 2009. Se analizaron 220 reemplazos totales de cadera primarios con tallos no cementados con cobertura completa de hidroxiapatita. La alineación coronal fue analizada con radiografías anteroposteriores de ambas caderas en 10° de rotación interna. Se registraron datos, como osteointegración, hundimiento, osteólisis femoral proximal e hipertrofia cortical. Para el análisis clínico se utilizó el Harris Hip Score. El análisis de supervivencia contempló la necesidad de revisión por cualquier causa. Resultados: La prevalencia de tallos en deseje fue del 32,3%, con mayoría de implantes en varo (73,3%). El Harris Hip Score tuvo un incremento estadísticamente significativo (41,05 ± 6,5 vs. 90,05 ± 2,5; p

Las fracturas por insuficiencia subcondral son una causa poco frecuente de cadera dolorosa. A diferencia de las fracturas traumáticas agudas, las fracturas por insuficiencia del acetábulo son menos frecuentes que las femorales. Ocurren habitualmente en mujeres posmenopáusicas con comorbilidades. Su diagnóstico inicial suele ser dificultoso y la sospecha clínica es de gran importancia. La resonancia magnética es una herramienta fundamental para detectar este cuadro. Subestimar estas lesiones puede llevar al desarrollo de una artrosis rápidamente progresiva y al reemplazo articular como desenlace. Se presenta el caso de una paciente de 68 años con una fractura por insuficiencia subcondral del acetábulo a quien se le indicó una artroplastia total de cadera no cementada.

Introduction: intravenous (IV) tranexamic acid (TXA) has shown its usefulness to prevent postsurgical anemia, but few studies have analyzed its topical administration. Seven years ago, we implemented a new topical administration (moistening three gauzes with 1.5 g of TXA) in our primary total hip arthroplasties (THA). The objective of this study was to compare blood loss, hospital stay and complications without the use of TXA, topical use or 10 mg/kg IV plus topical. Material and methods: consecutive retrospective series of 274 patients undergoing CTA (mean 70 years [59-76], 59% women) operated from 2014 to 2019. Loss of hemoglobin and hematocrit, blood transfusions, hospital stay, thromboembolic complications were compared and 30-day mortality among three groups: non-tranexamic (44.2%), topical (45.6%), topical + IV (9.9%). Results: after 24 and 48 hours, hemoglobin and hematocrit decreased less (p < 0.05) in patients treated with TXA (topical and/or IV). Blood transfusion was required in 32% of patients without TXA, 12% of those treated with topical TXA only (RR = 3.24 [95% CI: 1.69-6.20]), and 0% of patients who received IV TXA (p = 0.005) (RR = 4.07 [95% CI: 2.14-7.48]). Hospital stay was reduced three days with TXA (p < 0.001). We have not observed any adverse effects related to TXA. Conclusions: the use of TXA in CTA significantly reduces anemia, transfusions and hospital stay without increasing complications. Isolated topical TXA (hemostatic pads) is less effective than topical IV + topical use, but both significantly improve anemia, transfusions, and hospital stay compared to no use.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of aspirin versus low molecular weight heparins (LMWH) for the prophylaxis of venous thromboembolism (VTE), deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and/or total hip arthroplasty (THA)., Materials and Methods: Systematic review and meta-analysis. Sixteen studies were selected. The risk of VTE, DVT and PE were analysed. Mortality, risk of bleeding and surgical wound complications was also analysed., Results: 248,461 patients were included. 176,406 patients with thromboprophylaxis with LMWH and 72,055 patients with aspirin thromboprophylaxis. There were no significant differences in the risk of VTE (OR=0.93; 95% CI: 0.69-1.26; p=0.64), DVT (OR=0.72; 95% CI: 0.43-1.20; p=0.21) or PE (OR=1.13; 95% CI: 0.86-1.49; p=0.38) between both groups. No significant differences were found in mortality (p=0.30), bleeding (p=0.22), or complications in the surgical wound (p=0.85) between both groups. These same findings were found in the sub-analysis of only randomised clinical trials (p>0.05)., Conclusions: No increased risk of PE, DVT, or VTE was found among patients with aspirin thromboprophylaxis versus patients with LMWH thromboprophylaxis. There was also no greater mortality, greater bleeding, or greater complications in the surgical wound found among patients with aspirin thromboprophylaxis versus patients with LMWH thromboprophylaxis., (Copyright © 2023 SECOT.

Introduction and Objective: Hip arthroplasty represents a significant advancement in the treatment of refractory chronic joint pain, improving quality of life and functionality. The objective of this study is to identify the risk factors associated with local and systemic complications in patients treated with total hip arthroplasty., Methods: Observational, analytical, retrospective cohort study, which included 304 participants treated with total hip replacement. Comparison of variables between two groups was performed; 38 participants in the group with complications and 266 participants in the group without complications., Results: The mean age in the complication group was 66 years (SD 18.7) and in the uncomplicated group it was 67,1 years (SD 15.1) (p 0,686). Female sex was observed in 73.3% of the group with complications and 65% in the group without complications. (p 0.292). Risk factors were: hip fracture as an indication for arthroplasty RR 1.33 [95% CI 1.004;1.775 p 0.047], coronary heart disease RR 1.31 [95% CI 1.067;1.616 p 0.010] and surgical bleeding equal to or greater than 400 cc RR 1.11 [95% CI 1.012;1.218 p 0.028]., Conclusions: The risk factors for complications in total hip arthroplasty were: hip fracture as the indication for arthroplasty, coronary artery disease, and surgical bleeding equal to or greater than 400 cc., (Copyright © 2024 SECOT.

Introduction: The anterior direct approach to the hip has become popular in recent years, as it favors rapid recovery and better evolution, as well as shorter hospital stay time, painkiller consumption, physical therapy requirement and thus a possible overall reduced cost. The results of the first 50 cases are reported, with this technique assisted by the use of a special traction table. Material and methods: Retrospective study of 50 hip arthroplasties in 47 patients by said method and special table, between April 2018 and April 2020. Etiology, gender, affected age and side, surgical lapse, transoperative bleeding and implant size were recorded. Immediate clinical and radiographic evolution was evaluated at the start and during the first 90 days. Results: Sample of 18 men and 29 women. The average age was 67.7 years (range 28 to 94). Mean surgical time two hours 37 minutes, average bleeding 513 ml, clinical progress according to Harris scale: excellent 42 (84%), seven good (14%) and one bad (2%), due to infection. There were two calcar fractures without the need to remove an implant, eight cases of muscle mass injury, bruising in four (8%), femorocutaneous nerve paresis in six (12%), superficial infection two cases (4%). No dislocations. Conclusion: The anterior approach is a safe and reliable technique with immediate satisfactory outcomes and minor complications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: The coxarthrosis has incidence of 88 cases per 100,000 people/year and symptomatic prevalence of 16% men and 6% women aged 65-74 years and increases with age. It is a growing public health disease. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) has become the most successful procedure to increase the quality of life of patients with coxarthrosis. Our objective was to determine the claudication, quality of life and functional results of THA through minimal invasive approach in patients with primary coxarthrosis. Material and methods: Prospective longitudinal study in patients with unilateral primary coxarthrosis postop of THA with minimally invasive approach from March 2015-February 2016, each patient was analyzed with quality of Life instrument (WOMAC), Functional test for coxarthrosis (HHS) and functional test in patients with hip surgery (OHS) with follow-up of one year. Results: We included 21 patients, 17 female and 4 males corresponding to 80.95% and 19.05% respectively, average age of 59.95 years (ED = 9.64), with excellent functional results to one year according to HHS and OHS, quality of life high in 100% of cases according to WOMAC, with claudication rate of 4.76%. Discussion: The minimal invasive approach is a reproducible surgical technique, with excellent functional results, low claudication rate and high quality of life in postoperative patients of primary ATC at only one year of follow-up.

Introduction: Malnutrition in elderly patients with hip fracture has been described as a factor associated with poor outcomes. This evidence for elderly patients undergoing elective total hip arthroplasty (THA) for osteoarthritis is not well-established., Methods: We retrospectively studied a cohort of patients with an age ≥65 years admitted to the hospital for THA between January 2018 and December 2020. Demographic characteristics were collected. Albumin and total lymphocyte count were included in the pre-operative analysis and 24h postoperatively. Nutritional screening was carried out 24h postoperatively. GLIM criteria were applied for the diagnosis of malnutrition., Results: 25 patients out of the total cohort of 65 (38.4%) were malnourished. Five out of six patients (83.3%) with postoperative complications presented malnutrition compared with 20 of 59 patients (33.8%) without postoperative complications (P=0.028). Mean length of stay (LOS) was 3.49±0.88 days. Five out of six (83.3%) patients with postoperative complications presented LOS >3 days compared with one out of six patients (16.6%) with LOS ≤3 days (P=0.009). 26 patients (40%) were referred to a community health centre, no differences in diagnosis of malnutrition were detected compared with patients who were discharged home. Patients with a diagnosis of malnutrition were significantly older, had a lower body mass index (BMI), a lower preoperative and postoperative albumin and worse anthropometric parameters., Conclusions: Malnutrition is associated with postoperative complications and longer LOS in elderly patients with elective THA. Risk factors for malnutrition are older age and low BMI., (Copyright © 2022 SEEN and SED. Published by Elsevier España, S.L.U. All rights reserved.)

Introduction: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients with residual poliomyelitis (RP) is a surgical challenge. Dysplastic morphology, osteoporosis and gluteal weakness hinder orientation, increase fracture risk and reduce implant stability. The aim of this study is to describe a series of patients with RP treated by THA., Material and Methods: Retrospective descriptive study of patients with RP treated with THA between 1999 and 2021 in a tertiary hospital, with clinical and radiological follow-up and functional and complication evaluation until present or death, with a minimum of 12 months., Results: Sixteen patients underwent surgery, with 13 THA implanted in the paretic limb, 6 for fracture and 7 for osteoarthritis, while the remaining 3 were implanted in the contralateral limb. Four dual mobility cups were implanted as an antiluxation measure. At 1 year postoperatively, 11 had complete range of motion with no increase in Trendelenburg cases. The Harris hip score (HHS) improved 32.1 points, the visual analogue scale (VAS) 5.25 points, and the Merlé-d'Augbiné-Poste scale 6 points. The length discrepancy correction was 13.77mm. Median follow-up was 3.5 years (1-24). Two cases were revised for polyethylene wear and two for instability, with no infections, periprosthetic fractures, or cup or stem loosening., Conclusions: THA in patients with RP allows improvement of the clinico-functional situation with an acceptable complication rate. The risk of dislocation could be minimised with dual mobility cups., (Copyright © 2023 SECOT. Publicado por Elsevier España, S.L.U. All rights reserved.)

Hace 50 años, Sir John Charnley introdujo la era del reemplazo total de cadera. Sus innovaciones en la fijación de la prótesis con polimetilmetacrilato, el par de fricción de metal/ polietileno, la instrumentación estandarizada y los quirófanos con aire purificado, revolucionaron los intentos previos a reemplazar caderas con artrosis. En Estados Unidos, los principios y la prótesis de Charnley fueron adoptados, investigados y modificados tal como lo ha sido en otros países. Sin embargo, su técnica y conceptos básicos siguen estando vigentes y el reemplazo total de cadera es ampliamente considerado uno de los procedimientos quirúrgicos más exitosos en la cirugía ortopédica. Más de 400.000 reemplazos de cadera son realizados anualmente en los Estados Unidos.

Background: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) and hemiarthroplasty are common treatments for severe hip joint disease. To predict the probability of re-admission after discharge when patients are hospitalized will support providing appropriate health education and guidance., Methods: The research aims to use logistic regression (LR), decision trees (DT), random forests (RF), and artificial neural networks (ANN) to establish predictive models and compare their performances on re-admissions within 30 days after THA or hemiarthroplasty. The data of this study includes patient demographics, physiological measurements, disease history, and clinical laboratory test results., Results: There were 508 and 309 patients in the THA and hemiarthroplasty studies respectively from September 2016 to December 2018. The accuracies of the four models LR, DT, RF, and ANN in the THA experiment are 94.3%, 93.2%, 97.3%, and 93.9%, respectively. In the hemiarthroplasty experiment, the accuracies of the four models are 92.4%, 86.1%, 94.2%, and 94.8%, respectively. Among these, we found that the RF model has the best sensitivity and ANN model has the best area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) score in both experiments., Conclusions: The THA experiment confirmed that the performance of the RF model is better than the other models. The key factors affecting the prognosis after THA surgery are creatinine, sodium, anesthesia duration, and dialysis. In the hemiarthroplasty experiment, the ANN model showed more accurate results. Poor kidney function increases the risk of hospital re-admission. This research highlights that RF and ANN model perform well on the hip replacement surgery outcome prediction., (Copyright © 2022 FECA. Publicado por Elsevier España, S.L.U. All rights reserved.)

Since 1900, hip fusion was considered a definitive treatment, being the method of choice for osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip in young patients, and others as infections or sequelae of childhood illnesses, although today it has been migrated to the use of prostheses with non-cemented implants. Currently orthopedic management of osteoarthritis in the hip of the young patient has changed dramatically in part derived from the consequences of long-term arthrodesis in adjacent joints, so we present this case where we perform the conversion to total hip arthroplasty.

Introducción Desde hace tiempo se ha comenzado a prestar atención a la satisfacción del paciente luego de una artroplastia de cadera o rodilla. Para esto se han confeccionado diferentes sistemas de encuestas para medir el impacto de la cirugía en la vida del paciente. El objetivo de este trabajo fue mediante una encuesta evaluar la satisfacción luego de un RTR o RTC. Material y Métodos Analizamos 59 RTC primarios en 59 pacientes con un promedio de edad de 64,4 años y un seguimiento promedio de 3,4años y 47 RTR unilaterales, con un promedio de edad de 62,2 años y un seguimiento promedio de 3,2 años. A todos se les entregó una encuesta para que completaran en sus hogares. Como mínimo estos pacientes tenían un año de seguimiento. Resultados Los RTC estuvieron conformes con la cirugía en un 98,3%, mientras que los RTR lo estuvieron en un 100%. En cuanto al cumplimiento de las expectativas el 95% de los RTC estuvieron absolutamente conformes y los RTR lo estuvieron en el 86,6%. El puntaje promedio de la encuesta para los RTC fue de 6,2 puntos y para los RTR fue de 12 puntos. Conclusión Entre el 81 y 89% de los pacientes están conformes luego de un RTC, mientras que entre el 83 y 96% lo estará luego de un RTR. Las expectativas preoperatorias a una artroplastia se focalizan en el alivio del dolor, la mejoría funcional y la independencia física. Si bien en nuestra serie encontramos aceptables niveles de satisfacción, creemos que el cirujano debe ser prudente en el pre operatorio, para no crear falsas expectativas, en cuanto a los resultados pop, para de esta manera mejorar la satisfacción de los pacientes luego de la intervención.

Background: Infection is one of the most important local complications in the patient with femoral neck fracture treated with arthroplasty. The aim of the present study is to describe and analyze possible risk factors that could be involved in periprosthetic infection in the patient with femoral neck fracture., Methods: A retrospective case-control study was performed including patients with femoral neck fractures treated with arthroplasty in the period between January 2015 and December 2017. Cases were defined as patients with femoral neck fracture who after undergoing arthroplasty (hemiarthroplasty or total hip arthroplasty) had a periprosthetic infection, whose diagnosis was carried out according to the major and minor criteria described in the International Consensus on Musculoskeletal Infections (Philadelphia 2018). In order to mitigate the influence of variables that could be considered confounding variables, a multivariate analysis was carried out., Outcomes: A statistically significant association was found between periprosthetic infection and certain variables present at the time of admission, including the presence of moderate or severe anaemia (OR: 10.91; 95%CI: 1.07-111.50; P=.007), thrombocytopenia (OR: 27.72; 95%CI: 3.48-221.01; P=.002), history of thromboembolism event (OR: 8.80; 95%CI: 1.31-59.38; P=.026), anxious-depressive disorder in treatment with two or three drugs (OR: 21.36; 95%CI: 3.65-125.12; P=.001) and liver disease (OR: 32.04; 95%CI: 2.59-396.29; P=.007)., Conclusions: Periprosthetic infection in the patient with femoral neck fracture treated with arthroplasty could be related to the presence of certain variables at the time of hospital admission, including moderate or severe anaemia, thrombocytopenia, history of thromboembolic event, anxious-depressive disorder in treatment with two or three drugs or liver disease., (Copyright © 2022 SECOT.

Resumen: Objetivo: Determinar el estado de salud general percibida por los pacientes sometidos a artroplastia total de cadera con mini-vástago. Material y Método: Se ha administrado el cuestionario de salud SF-36 para evaluar el estado de salud percibido por 13 pacientes varones con una edad media de 46,62 (34-53) años en los que seimplantó una artroplastia total de cadera no cementada tipo MiniHip® (CorinMedical) tras un seguimiento medio de 23,2 (12-47) meses. Los resultados obtenidos se compararon con los valores de referencia de la población española en varones de 45 a 54 año. Resultados: Se hallaron diferencias en aspectos como rol físico y emocional, función física, función social y dolor; mientras que en el resto de los ítems la puntuación fue similar a la de la población de referencia. Discusión: Existe la necesidad de conocer en qué grado afectan nuestras intervenciones a la calidad de vida del paciente y la manera en que es percibida por él mismo para complementar los resultados de nuestras intervenciones. Conclusión: Es necesaria una nueva perspectiva para la valoración funcional y de calidad de vida de los pacientes jóvenes sometidos a una artroplastia total de cadera. Abstract: Objective: To determine the general health status perceived by patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty with mini-stem. Material and Methods: Health questionnaire SF-36 has been used to assess health perceived by 13 male patients with a mean age of 46.62 (34-53) years after the implantation of an uncemented, MiniHip® (CorinMedical) total hip arthroplasty, after a mean follow up of 23.2 (12-47) months. Results were compared with the reference values of Spanish men population from 45 to 54 years. Results: Differences were found in areas such as physical and emotional role, physical function, social function and pain; while scores of the remaining items were similar to the population of reference. Discussion: It is important to know how our surgical actions affect the quality of life of patients and how it is perceived by them to complement the results of our surgeries.
