The Incidence, Location and Distribution of Degenerative Subchondral Acetabular Cysts in Primary Osteoarthrosis of the Hip

In a case-control study, the relationship between sporting activities and osteoarthrosis of the hip in women was investigated. The study base comprised Swedish women 50 to 70 years of age between 1991 and 1994. Case subjects (N 230) had had total hip replacements because of primary osteoarthrosis of the hip, and control subjects (N 273) were randomly selected women without hip problems from the study base. All women were interviewed about sports activities to the age of 50, health status, smoking habits, occupational history, and work in the home. Three exposure classes were defined based on total hours of sports activities aggregated to the age of 50. The relative risks of developing osteoarthrosis of the hip leading to total hip replacement was 2.3 (confidence interval, 1.5 to 3.7) for those with high sports exposure and 1.5 (0.9 to 2.5) for those with medium sports exposure compared with those with low exposure. The relative risks were adjusted for age, occupational physical load, body mass index, hormone therapy, and smoking. Physical load from sporting activities seems to be a moderate risk factor for women for the development of severe osteoarthrosis of the hip. Participation in sports was low, and therefore individual risk estimates for different sports activities were not possible to obtain.

100 thumbs with primary osteoarthrosis of the joints of the trapezium were treated by trapeziectomy and a FCR sling arthroplasty to reconstruct a first intermetacarpal ligament by the method described by Burton and Pellegrini (1986). Pain at rest remained in five. Some pain at or after exertion persisted in 46, and 49 became completely pain-free. 88 were satisfied with the procedure and there was a significant increase in pinch strength and in the ability to perform activities of daily life. It has become our preferred procedure for treating osteoarthrosis of the basal joint of the thumb.

Anatomical Parameters

Background/Aim. Anatomical parameters of the bony components of the hip joint are essential for better understanding of etiopathogenesis of diseases like primary osteoarthrosis of the hip joint. The aim of this reserch was to examine the normal acetabular morphometry in Serbian population and to determine whether there are sex differences in anatomical parameters of the acetabulum among asymptomatic subjects. Methods. Pelvic radiographics of 320 adult asymptomatic patients (640 hips) were analyzed in 170 men and 150 women to determine the morphology of the acetabulum in Serbian population. For each hip the center edge angle of Wiberg (CEA), the acetabular angle of Sharp (AA), acetabular depth (AD), acetabular roof obliquity (ARO) and roof angle (RA) were measured. Results. The following average measurements for acetabulum geometry were obtained (X ? SD): CEA - 33.5 ? 6.5? (33.6 ? 5.8? in male, 33.3 ? 6.9? in female), AA - 38.0 ? 3.8? (37.5 ? 3.6? in male, 38.5 ? 3.9? in female), AD - 11.9 ? 2.8 mm (12.5 ? 2.7 mm in male, 11.2 ? 2.7 mm in female), ARO - 7.6 ? 5.7? (6.2 ? 4.9? in male, 9.0 ? 6.0? in female) and RA - 18.4 ? 10.0? (19.6 ? 8.5? in male, 17.1 ? 9.5? in female). There were significant differences in the CEA, AA, AD, ARO and RA related to gender (p < 0.01, t-test). Conclusion. There are significant gender differences in Serbian population for all the examined anatomical parameters of acetabulum. We found sex-related differences in acetabular morphology, female acetabulum being marginally more dysplastic than male acetabulum. There is also a clear tendency of female hips to be more dysplastic than male ones.

Abstract Background The objective of this study is to share our experience in total hip replacement for the treatment of ochronotic hip arthritis, in particular to report how to establish the diagnosis and some tips to limit complications. Method A cohort comprised of 10 patients (12 hips) with alkaptonuric hip arthritis. There were six men and four women with the mean age of 62.80 ± 7.57 years. All patients had a stiff spine, grossly restricted movements of hip joints, and severely limited daily routine activities. Total hip replacement was performed in all patients. The patients were evaluated at 6, 12, and 24 months after surgery, as well as every 4 years thereafter. Harris hip score was used to assess the functional outcome. The level of significance was set at p < 0.05. Results The mean follow-up lasted 16.70 ± 6.82 years (3 to 24 years). At the final available follow-up, nine patients returned to work, ambulate without an orthosis, and achieve complete pain relief. Harris hip score was improved from poor to excellent. One patient died 16 years after surgery due to breast cancer. No complication relating to prosthetic failures was detected. Conclusion Total hip replacement gives long-term satisfactory results in patients with alkaptonuric hip arthritis, resulting in comparable function of the hips in patients who undergo primary osteoarthrosis.
