In order to help a surgeon to determine a proper canal filing cutting path in a hip replacement operation conveniently, this paper presents a kind of probe with combined structure. Firstly, the doctor can use this kind of combined probe to choose canal filing cutting path. Then, the doctor can use computer to guide the surgeon to file femoral cavity along the selected canal filing cutting path. Through hip replacement corpse experiments, filing effects and used time of using combined probe group and separate control group were analyzed. The experiment results showed that the methods introduced in this paper could lower the difficulty of hip replacement operations, improve the implantation of hip stem prostheses further, and reduce the incidence of surgical complications.
ObjectiveTo investigate the effectiveness of closed or limited open reduction and intramedullary nail fixation in the treatment of Seinsheimer type Ⅴ subtrochanteric fracture.MethodsBetween May 2014 and July 2018, 36 patients with Scinsheimer type Ⅴ subtrochanteric fractures were treated with closed or limited open reduction and intramedullary nail fixation. There were 25 males and 11 females with an age of 23-86 years (mean, 55.8 years). The cause of injury included falling in 19 cases, traffic accident in 9 cases, falling from height in 7 cases, and heavy object injury in 1 case; all were fresh closed injuries. The interval between injury and operation was 1-14 days (mean, 6.8 days). There were 18 cases of closed reduction and 18 cases of limited open reduction during the operation. Seventeen cases were fixed with femoral reconstruction intramedullary nail, 5 with InterTan long nail, 14 with lengthened proximal femoral nail anti-rotation, and 7 cases were assisted with auxiliary steel wire binding. After operation, through X-ray film and clinical follow-up, the fracture reduction and maintenance status, internal fixation position, and fracture healing were judged; the range of motion, walking ability, and complications of hip joint were observed, and the function of hip joint was evaluated according to Merle d’Aubigne Postel hip joint scoring standard.ResultsAll the incisions of medullary operation healed by first intention, and no vascular, nerve injury, or infection occurred. All patients were followed up 12-24 months, with an average of 14.2 months. Among the 36 patients, 1 patient received revision surgery due to varus displacement of femoral head and screw penetration at 2 months after closed reduction, with poor recovery of hip function. X-ray film re-examination showed that the fractures of the other 35 patients healed after 9-15 months, with an average of 11.5 months. During follow-up, there was no complication such as internal fixation failure, fracture redisplacement, bone nonunion or malunion, and deep vein thrombosis of lower extremity occurred. The function of hip joint recovered well, and the patients could walk and squat normally without affecting daily life or work. At last follow-up, according to Merle d’Aubigne Postel hip joint scoring standard, 28 cases were rated as excellent, 4 cases as good, 3 cases as fair, and 1 case as poor, the excellent and good rate was 88.9%.ConclusionC-arm X-ray fluoroscopic closed or limited open reduction and intramedullary nail fixation for the treatment of Seinheimer Ⅴ type subtrochanteric fracture, if necessary, with the aid of auxiliary steel wire binding, it has the advantages of less blood supply destruction at the fracture end, satisfactory reduction, firm fixation, and early rehabilitation training, with definite effectiveness.
From Jan. 1991 to Jan. 1994, 11 cases ofdifferent hip lesions with flexon contracture deformity were treated by combination of SmithPeterson and WatsonJones incisions in replacement of hip joint. All of them were followed-up for 1 to 3 years (an average of 1.9 years). According to pain, joint function, the excellent and good results were rated at 90.9%. This showed that from using the combined incisions, the hip joint was very well exposed, and release of hip flexion contracture could be acomplished in the same time. Bleeding fromoperation was reduced and the procedure was simple.
The orientation of the acetabular cup in hip joint anteroposterior radiograph is a key factor in evaluating the postoperative outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA). Currently, measurement of the acetabular cup anteversion angle primarily relies on manual drawing of auxiliary lines by orthopedic surgeons and calculations using scientific calculators. This study proposes an automated computer-aided measurement method for the acetabular cup anteversion angle based on hip joint anteroposterior radiograph. The proposed method segments hip prosthesis images using an improved Otsu algorithm, identifies feature points at the acetabular cup opening by combining circle-fitting theory and the cup’s geometric characteristics, and fits an ellipse to the cup opening to calculate the anteversion angle. A total of 104 hip joint anteroposterior radiographs, including 71 right-sided and 81 left-sided prostheses, were analyzed. Two orthopedic surgeons independently measured the postoperative anteversion angles, and the results were compared with computer-generated measurements for correlation analysis. Spearman and Pearson correlation analyses demonstrated significant correlations between the proposed method and manual measurements for both the right group (r = 0.795, P < 0.01) and the left group (r = 0.859, P < 0.01). This method provides a reliable reference for orthopedic surgeons to assess postoperative prognosis.
Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of multiple small-diameter drilling decompression combined with hip arthroscopy for early oeteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). Methods Between March 2010 and December 2013, 91 patients with early ONFH were treated with the operation of multiple small-diameter drilling decompression combined with hip arthroscopy in 39 cases (53 hips, group A) or with drilling decompression alone in 52 cases (74 hips, group B). The patients in 2 groups had obvious hip pain and limited motion before operation. There was no significant difference in gender, age, etiology, effected side, stage of osteonecrosis, and preoperative Harris score between 2 groups (P>0.05). Results All operations succeeded and all incisions healed by first intention. The operation time was significantly longer in group A [(73.3±10.6) minutes] than in group B [(41.5±7.2) minutes] (t=8.726, P=0.000). Temporary of sciatic nerve apraxia after operation occurred in 2 patients of group A, and no complication occurred in other patients. Patients were followed up 24-52 months (mean, 39.3 months) in group A and 24-48 months (mean, 34.6 months) in group B. At last follow-up, the Harris scores were 83.34±8.76 in group A and 76.61±9.22 in group B, showing significant differences when compared between 2 groups (t=–4.247, P=0.029) and when compared with preoperative values in 2 groups (t=–10.327, P=0.001; t=–8.216, P=0.008). X-ray films showed that the collapse of the femoral head was observed in 6 hips (1 hip at stage Ⅰand 5 hips at stage Ⅱ) in group A, and in 16 hips (4 hips at stageⅠand 12 hips at stage Ⅱ) in group B; and hip arthroplasty was performed. The total effective rates were 88.68% (47/53) in group A and 78.38% (58/74) in group B, respectively; showing significant difference between 2 groups (χ2=5.241, P=0.041). Conclusion Multiple small-diameter drilling decompression combined with hip arthroscopy is effective in pain relief, improvement of hip function, slowing-down the process of femoral head necrosis, delaying the need for total hip arthroplasty in patients with early ONFH.
Objective To summarize the characteristics and clinical significance of irreducible Pipkin type Ⅰ and Ⅱ femoral head fracture-dislocations. Methods The clinical data of 4 patients with irreducible Pipkin type Ⅰ and Ⅱ femoral head fracture-dislocations between January 2010 and December 2019 were collected. There were 2 males and 2 females and the age ranged from 24 to 41 years, with an average age of 33.5 years. The cause of injury included traffic accident in 3 cases and falling in 1 case. Pipkin classification was 2 cases of type Ⅰ and 2 cases of type Ⅱ. The time from injury to operation was 1-2 days. The clinical features were that the hip joint of the affected limb was in a locked position, and the passive range of motion was poor. The affected limb was slightly flexed at the hip joint and shortened, in a state of neutral position or slight adduction and internal rotation. The imaging data suggested that the femoral head dislocated backward and upward, and the hard cortex of the posterior edge of the acetabulum was embedded in the cancellous bone of the femoral head, and the two were compressed and incarcerated. Patients of cases 1-3 underwent closed reduction of hip dislocation 1-2 times at 3, 1, and 3 hours after injury respectively, and femoral neck fracture occurred. The injury types changed to Pipkin type Ⅲ, and open reduction and internal fixation were performed. Patient of case 4 did not undergo closed reduction, but underwent open reduction and internal fixation directly. Results Patients of cases 1-3 were followed up 14, 17, and 12 months, respectively. They developed osteonecrosis of the femoral head at 9, 5, and 10 months after operation respectively, and all underwent total hip arthroplasty. Patient of case 4 was followed up 24 months and had no hip pain and limited mobility; the imaging data indicated that the internal fixator position was good and the fracture healed; no collapse or deformation of the femoral head was seen, and no osteonecrosis of the femoral head occurred. Conclusion Clinicians need to improve their understanding of the unique clinical features and imaging findings of irreducible Pipkin type Ⅰ and Ⅱ femoral head fracture-dislocations. It is suggested that open reduction and simultaneous fixation of femoral head fracture should be directly used to reduce the incidence of osteonecrosis of the femoral head.
ObjectiveTo evaluate hip function and reinfection of the patients with hip infection sequelae after total hip arthroplasty (THA) treatment.MethodsA clinical data of 31 patients (31 hips) with hip infection sequelae, who were treated with THA between June 2010 and May 2017, was retrospectively analyzed. There were 18 males and 13 females, with an average age of 46.1 years (range, 20-71 years). There were pyogenic infection in 17 cases, tuberculous infection in 9 cases, and unknown source of infection in 5 cases. The average time from infection to cure was 13.9 months (range, 6-25 months). The average time from cure to operation was 23.4 years (range, 6-58 years) for patients with confirmed source of infection. According to Kim classification, 12 cases were rated as typeⅠ, 9 as typeⅡ, and 10 as type Ⅲ. There were 21 cases of osteoarthritis after dysplasia, 7 cases of pathologic dislocation, and 3 cases of hip ankylosis. After operation, the infection was assessed by physical signs and laboratory tests; X-ray film of the hip was taken to assess the skeletal structure of the hip and infectious lesion; the length of the lower limb was measured, and the function of the hip joint was evaluated by Harris score.ResultsAll patients were followed up 10-63 months (mean, 34 months). The result of bacterial culture was negative. The incisions healed by first intention. The sciatic nerve stimulation occurred in 1 case and posterior dislocation of the joint occurred in 1 case after operation. There was no recurrence of infection and no aseptic loosening of the prosthesis. According to Harris score, the function of the hip was rated as excellent in 8 cases, good in 19 cases, and fair in 4 cases at last follow-up; and the excellent and good rate of hip joint function was 87%. X-ray films showed no patchy bone density reduction, spot hardening, or light areas. The length of affected limb was not fully equal with the unaffected limb in 5 cases, and the difference between two sides ranged from 0.4 to 1.3 cm (mean, 0.6 cm). At last follow-up, all patients had no obvious claudication or sensation of unequal length.ConclusionTHA can obtain satisfactory hip function and has low risk of infection recurrence for the patients with hip infection sequelae, who were assessed as the hip infection in a dormant state.
Objective To compare the bone resorption between the proximal fixation of the anatomique benoist giraud（ABG） hip and the distal fixation of the anatomic medullary locking（AML） hip by the medium-term X-ray films, and to evaluate the clinical results of the two prostheses. Methods From January 1992 to December 1996, 298 patients (396 hips) underwent the total hip arthroplasty at Wilson Hospital in Korea. In 125 patients, 176 hips were ABG hips, including 103 avascularnecrosis hips, 57 dysplasia hips, and 16 other diseased hips; In the other 173 patient the remaining 220 hips were AML hips, including 147 avascular necrosis hips, 65 dysplasia hips, and 8 other diseased hips. The A-P X-ray imagings were followed up for 5-12 years averaged 8 years, and were compared with the immediate postoperative X-ray imagings. The bone resorption area was measured and the bone resorption cases were recorded according to the Gruen zone obsesvation. Results During operation, 2 ABG hips and 5 AML hips were cracked at the femoral diaphysis; 3 ABG hips and 1 AML hip were cracked at the metaphysis; 6 ABGhips and 3 AML hips were fractured because of trauma after operation; among them, 2 ABG hips needed the stem revision and the remaining hips underwent the openreduction and the internal fixation. During the follow-up, 9 ABG hips were revised, 7 hips of which developed the aseptic loosening. No AML hip was revised, but 3 AML hips developed the aseptic loosening. The bone resorption pattern in theABG and AML hips was similar. The bone resorption occurred most commonly in theGruen zones 1 and 7, and it extended from the metaphysis to the diaphysis. In the Guren zones 2, 5, 6 and 7, there were more AML hips than ABG hips that developed the bone resorption. The bone resorption area around the AML hip was larger than that around the ABG hip. Conclusion The stress shielding bone resorption usually occurs proximally to the union area of the bone and the prosthesis. The ABG prosthesis is a proximal fixation prosthesis, therefore, the stress shielding bone resorption can be reduced. The bone resorption around the AML prosthesis develops slowly within 10 years after operation. The stress shielding bone resoption may reach the summit within 10 years and it will not develop endlessly, so the prosthesis will be stable for a long time. The probabilityof the bone resorption in the ABG prosthesis is smaller than that in the AMLprosthesis. The bone resorption around the AML prosthesis may develop slowly after 10 years and will not affect the stability of the prosthesis for a long time.
As a common disease in orthopedics, osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) frequently occurs among young and middle-aged people. Hip joint preserving surgery has attracted more and more attention due to the fact that artificial joint prosthesis has a certain useful life and the rate of hip joint revision is high and the higher risk of many complications. There are a large number of operative methods for preserving hip joint in clinical practice without definitive effectiveness. How to choose appropriate surgical methods at the right time is also a continuous understanding. The pathological process of necrosis of the femur helps to choose the choice of the femoral head necrosis for the treatment of hip operation. Core decompression and impaction bone grafting with simple operative methods can relieve internal pressure of femoral head and pain symptoms, but they cannot remove necrotic bone completely. Hence, they are only used for ONFH in the early stage. Vascularized bone transplantation can fill defects of the former, as it can not only completely remove necrotic bone, but also provide bone graft with nourishing vessels for femoral head, being beneficial to reconstruct the bone structure of femoral head. Subsequently, the application of tantalum rod can provide mechanical support for femoral head to prevent the collapse of femoral head. Hip joint preserving surgery, in recent years, has been performed increasingly, and has obtained improvement in clinical effects. The multiple combination of a variety of its operative methods provides more effective treatments for ONFH. It is an essential notion that hip joint preserving surgery, however with any operative method, should as far as possible select a surgical plan with little trauma, simple methods, and little injury of hip joint bone structure based on ensuring the effectiveness.
