Anterior Hip Dislocation

Introduction: Traumatic anterior hip dislocations are subdivided to obturator (inferior) and pubic (superior) dislocations by Epstein’s descriptive classification. This rare injury is thought to have favourable clinical outcomes. The incidence of associated femoral head and acetabular injuries has been low in past case series. We sought to revisit this injury and classification in the era of advanced imaging and contemporary surgical techniques. Materials and methods: A retrospective study of 15 patients treated for anterior hip dislocation was performed. Medical records were reviewed for demographic and surgical data. Imaging studies were revisited to determine direction of dislocation and associated fractures. Patients were assessed for pain, hip function using the modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), hip range of motion and radiographic changes. Mean follow-up time was 3 years. Results: Anterior dislocation occurred in an obturator (inferior), pubic (superior) or central direction. 9 patients had concomitant femoral head impaction and 7 patients suffered from acetabular fractures. 8 patients with an anterior hip dislocation underwent surgical treatment. This therapy, along with early range of motion and weight bearing, produced favourable clinical outcomes with 9 patients reporting no pain and an average mHHS of 83.8. 6 patients had heterotopic ossification at latest follow-up. Conclusions: Traumatic anterior hip dislocation is commonly associated with femoral head impaction and acetabular injuries which should be addressed operatively when appropriate to produce favourable results. In this paper, we propose a revision to the commonly used descriptive classification system.

Posterior Hip Dislocation

Recurrent hip dislocation in a Down Syndrome patient with dysplastic hip is a very challenging case to treat even for an expert orthopaedic hip surgeon. Least compliant patient and family, lowly educated with low socioeconomic status and the dysplastic hip forces limited option as a treatment. This is the first case world wide reporting 4 year follow up of dysplastic hip with Down Syndrome treated successfully with PAO technique. Methods: An eighteen years old female with history of Down Syndrome had multiple posterior hip dislocation episodes since 3 years prior. Several attempts of close reduction and hip spica applications were performed upon dislocation despite no successful retaining of reduction. Acetabular index of right hip were 550 and epiphyseal plate hasclosed. PatientwasperformedopenreductionusingSouthern-Mooreposteriorapproachand osteotomy of ischium, continued with capsulorrhaphy followed with Smith-Peterson anterior approach and osteotomy of superior ramus pubis and iliac bone. Then, derotation maneuver was performed under image intensifier to obtain adequate coveragefollowedwithbonegraftandfixationusing2cannulatedscrewandhipspica castapplication. Results: Within four years after surgery, the hip has never been dislocated again, patient could sit without pain and walk with full weight bearing although Harris Hip Score could not be performed due to Down Syndrome. Leg length discrepancy was negligible,fracture has fully united and acetabularin dex was300. Conclusions: Ganz periacetabular osteotomy, although a technically demanding surgery, is a preferable treatment in recurrent hip dislocation for Down Syndrome patient with good to excellent clinical and radiological ou tcome

Abstract Background Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a disabling disease, which often involves young patents. Recently, various hip-preserving surgeries were recommended to delay total hip arthroplasty (THA).Questions/purposes This study aimed to compare clinical outcomes and survival rate in the long-term follow-up between core decompression combined with a non-vascularized autologous fibular graft (group A) and an allogeneic fibular graft (group B) for the treatment of ONFH.Patients and Methods We retrospectively evaluated 117 patients (153 hips) with ONFH (Association Research Circulation Osseous [ARCO] stages IIa to IIIc) who underwent the above-mentioned hip-preserving surgeries between January 2003 and June 2012. The mean (range) follow-up times (years) were 12.9 (7–16) and 9.3 (6–16) in groups A and B, respectively. Clinical outcomes were assessed using the Harris hip score (HHS), visual analog scale (VAS) score, forgotten joint score (FJS). A survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method. The end point was THA.Results Groups A and B showed postoperative improvements, respectively, in HHS from 65±7.2 to 80.3±14.5 and from 66±5.9 to 82.4±13.6 (p<0.05), and in VAS score from 6.3±1.1 to 2.3±1.6 and from 6.1±1 to 2.2±2.2 (p<0.05). However, no significant differences in the HHS, VAS score, and hip FJS at the last follow-up (p>0.05) and 15-year survival rate (84.1% and 86%, respectively, p>0.05) were found between group A and B.Conclusions Autologous and allogeneic fibular grafts can attain equally good clinical outcomes and high survival rates in long-term follow-up, and thus can greatly delay THA owing to good bone osseointegration and sufficient mechanical support. Notably, the ratio of failure will increase when patients were more than 37 years old.Level of Evidence Level III, therapeutic study.

Abstract Background The purpose of the study is to evaluate clinical and radiological outcomes in those patients with femoral head fracture, treated with open reduction and internal fixation through Gibson approach and Ganz flip trochanter osteotomy. The treatment of Pipkin fractures is very challenging, especially for small trauma centers, because of the unusual fracture patterns and high-level surgical skills required. Case presentation Between 2017 and 2020, nine cases of Pipkin fractures came to the Emergency Department at the Trauma Center of our Hospital in Rome. Inclusion criteria were the diagnosis of femoral head fracture, the open reduction and internal fixation as surgical choice and at least 24 months follow-up. Patients older than 65 years and those treated through total hip replacement or combined hip procedure (CHP) were excluded. Thus, five patients were included in our case series. The clinical outcome was evaluated according to Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index, Vail Hip score, modified Harris Hip score and Merle D’Aubignè Postel score. Radiographic assessment was scored according to Epstein-Thompson classification and heterotopic ossification was assessed through Brooker classification. The mean follow-up was 24 months (range 12-24). Average modified Harris Hip score was 92.1 points (range 75.9–100), and the average Vail score was 81.8 (range 55-95). WOMAC score was assessed in three different subscales, pain (A), stiffness (B) and physical condition (C), with the following results: 1.4 A (range 0-7), 1.2 B (range 0-6) and 6.4 C (range 0-22). Merle d’Aubignè Postel score resulted excellent for four patients and good for one patient. According to Epstein-Thompson score of the radiological outcome, four patients showed a good result and one a fair result. No mechanical or infective complications occurred in the five patients. Conclusions Gibson’s approach and surgical hip dislocation through Ganz trochanteric flip osteotomy allow a good exposure of the femoral head and acetabulum, giving us the possibility to perform an anatomical reduction of the fracture. In our case series, satisfactory clinical and radiological short-term results were obtained without significant complications.

Hip dislocations during sporting activities represent only 2%–5% of all hip dislocations. Most hip dislocations in sports can be categorised as “less complicated traumatic hip dislocations” by the Stewart-Milford classification due to the fact that minimal force is involved. The incidence of avascular necrosis of the femoral head greatly increases if the time to reduction is more than six hours. We report the case of a 38-year-old football player who suffered hip dislocation while kicking the ball with the medial aspect of the right foot in an external rotated manner of the right hip. Closed reduction was performed within 2 hours; postoperative follow-up was uneventful. Six months later the patient is out of any complaints; there is no sign of AVN of the femoral head.

Objective To compare the clinical outcomes of primary metal-on-metal total hip replacement (MoM-TR) converted to uncemented total hip replacement (UTR) or cemented total hip replacement (CTR) in patients with femoral neck fractures (AO/OTA: 31B/C). Methods Patient data of 234 UTR or CTR revisions after primary MoM-TR failure from March 2007 to January 2018 were retrospectively identified. Clinical outcomes, including the Harris hip score (HHS) and key orthopaedic complications, were collected at 3, 6, and 12 months following conversion and every 12 months thereafter. Results The mean follow-up was 84.12 (67–100) months for UTR and 84.23 (66–101) months for CTR. At the last follow-up, the HHS was better in the CTR- than UTR-treated patients. Noteworthy dissimilarities were correspondingly detected in the key orthopaedic complication rates (16.1% for CTR vs. 47.4% for UTR). Statistically significant differences in specific orthopaedic complications were also detected in the re-revision rate (10.3% for UTR vs. 2.5% for CTR), prosthesis loosening rate (16.3% for UTR vs. 5.9% for CTR), and periprosthetic fracture rate (12.0% for UTR vs. 4.2% for CTR). Conclusion In the setting of revision of failed primary MoM-TR, CTR may demonstrate advantages over UTR in improving functional outcomes and reducing key orthopaedic complications.

Introduction: Periacetabular reconstruction after resection of primary bone tumour is a very demanding procedure. They are frequently associated with scarce functional results and a high rate of complications. We report a series of patients with periacetabular resections for primary bone tumours and reconstruction with a porous tantalum (PT) acetabular cup (AC). Materials and methods: 27 patients (median age 30 years) were included, being affected by primary bone tumours of the pelvis and treated with peri-acetabular resection and reconstruction with a PT AC. The diagnoses were 13 osteosarcomas, 7 chondrosarcomas and 7 Ewing sarcomas. Function was assessed with the Harris Hip Score and complications were classified according to Zeifang. Results: The median follow-up was 70 months. 1 patient required removal of the PT AC because of implant associated infection 55 months after surgery. There was 1 hip dislocation and no case of aseptic loosening. At final follow-up, the median HHS was 81 points (range 48–92). Conclusions: The used PT AC had good medium-term survival rates and good functional results. This technique is a viable reconstructive option after resections of periacetabular primary bone sarcomas.

AbstractThe aim of the present study was to present clinical and radiological outcome of a hip fracture-dislocation of the femoral head treated with biomimetic osteochondral scaffold.An 18-year-old male was admitted to the hospital after a motorcycle-accident. He presented with an obturator hip dislocation with a type IVA femoral head fracture according to Brumback classification system. The patient underwent surgery 5 days after accident. The largest osteochondral fragment was reduced and stabilized with 2 screws, and the small fragments were removed. The residual osteochondral area was replaced by a biomimetic nanostructured osteochondral scaffold. At 1-year follow-up the patient did not complain of hip pain and could walk without limp. At 2-year follow-up he was able to run with no pain and he returned to practice sports. Repeated radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging studies of the hip showed no signs of osteoarthritis or evidence of avascular necrosis. A hyaline-like signal on the surface of the scaffold was observed with restoration of the articular surface and progressive decrease of the subchondral edema.The results of the present study showed that the biomimetic nanostructured osteochondral scaffold could be a promising and safe option for the treatment of traumatic osteochondral lesions of the femoral head.Study Design: Case report.

Category: Ankle, Ankle Arthritis Introduction/Purpose: In the last two decades, total ankle replacement (TAR) has gained more acceptance as a treatment option in patients with end-stage ankle osteoarthritis. However, there is a lack of literature on TAR using a lateral transfibular approach. Therefore, we sought to report early clinical and radiographic results of a patient cohort treated with TAR using a lateral transfibular approach by a single surgeon. Methods: Fifty-five primary total ankle arthroplasties using the Zimmer trabecular metal implant were performed in 54 patients (29 men and 25 women; mean age, 67.0 years) from October 2012 to December 2014. Clinical assessment including pain evaluation and measurement of ankle range of motion was done preoperatively and at the latest follow-up. Weight-bearing radiographs were used to determine the angular alignment of the tibial and talar components and to analyze the bone-implant interface. Intraoperative and postoperative complications, revision surgeries, and failures were evaluated. Results: Implant survival was 93% at 36 months follow-up. There were 3 revisions of a tibial component due to aseptic loosening. In 10 of 55 procedures, a secondary procedure was performed during follow-up. Mean follow-up duration was 26.6 ± 4.2 months. No delayed union or non-union was observed for fibula healing. The average VAS pain score decreased significantly from 7.9 ± 1.3 to 0.8 ± 1.2. The average total range of motion increased significantly from 22.9° ± 11.8° to 40.2° ± 11.8°. Conclusion: Early results of Zimmer trabecular metal total ankle replacement demonstrated improved patient-reported outcomes and increased ankle motion at a minimum follow-up of one year. In the first 55 consecutive cases, the fibular osteotomy required for access to the ankle healed without complications. Painful early loosening requiring revision due to lack of bony ingrowth was seen in 3 of 55 cases.
