<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Although medical management has improved the outcome and may have reduced the need for surgery, total hip arthroplasty (THA) is often required to manage pain and restore function and mobility. The successful functional outcome of THA in patients with inflammatory arthropathies is essential in understanding the need for THA, and its benefits in those undergoing it. Objective of the study is to evaluate the functional outcome of total hip arthroplasty in patients suffering from inflammatory arthritis using Harris hip score (HHS) and to assess the post operative complication in these patients.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> In a prospective study conducted on patients with inflammatory arthritis treated with THA between a study period of January 2018 to January 2020. All the patients after assessing them clinically and radiologically were operated with uncemented THA through posterolateral approach. Functional outcomes of hip were evaluated using HHS at various intervals.<strong></strong></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> In this study, patients were followed up to 24 months. About 46.7% of patients were diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, 33.3% of patients were diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis, 20% of patients were diagnosed with sero negative arthritis. 90% of patients had no limb length discrepancy, no other post-operative complications were noted. The final functional outcome of hip according to HHS were 13.3% of excellent, 56.7% good results and 30% of fair results.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> This study concludes that THA in patients with inflammatory arthritis with restricted activities of life had improved in short term follow up and ease of rehabilitation and return to function.</p>

Introduction: The treatment of fracture neck femur varies according to the age of patient, the displacement of fracture fragments and the duration of the fracture. Various treatment options available for elderly are screw fixation, hemiarthroplasty and total hip arthroplasty. Materials and Methods: This is a prospective study done at authors institutes between January 2014- December 2016. 30 patients aged more than 50 years who sustained fracture neck femur were included in the study. 3 patients were lost to follow up and 2 patients died due to medical comorbidities. Out of the 25 remaining patients, 17 were males and 8 were females and they were operated by the biplane double supported screw fixation method (BDSF TECHNIQUE) and were followed up for a period of two years. The final Harris Hip Score at the last follow up was calculated. Results: Out of the 25 patients, the union was achieved in all the patients. The mean duration of union was 10 weeks. 1 patient had progressive femoral head resorption due to chondrolysis resulting in antalgic gait and unbearable pain and underwent total hip arthroplasty. The mean harris hip score was 81.2 Conclusion: In elderly patients with osteoporosis and in those patients who can not afford arthroplasty or in those patients where arthroplasty is contraindicated, BDSF method is an alternate method for fixing fracture neck femur.

Background: Total hip arthroplasty combined with the concept of enhanced recovery is of continued worldwide interest, as it is reported to improve early functional outcome and treatment quality without increasing complications. The aim of the study was to investigate functional outcome and quality of life 4 weeks and 12 months after cementless total hip arthroplasty in combination with an enhanced recovery concept. Methods: A total of 109 patients underwent primary cementless Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) in an enhanced recovery concept and were retrospectively analyzed. After 4 weeks and 12 months, clinical examination was analyzed regarding function, pain and satisfaction; results were evaluated using Harris Hip score, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), EQ-5D-5L, EQ-VAS and subjective patient-related outcome measures (PROMs). Preoperatively, HADS (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale) was collected. A correlation analysis of age, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA), HADS and comorbidities (diabetes mellitus, art. hypertension, cardiovascular disease) with WOMAC, Harris Hip score (HHS) and EQ-5D was performed. Results: Patients showed a significant improvement in Harris Hip score 4 weeks and 12 months postoperatively (p < 0.001). WOMAC total score, subscale pain, subscale stiffness and subscale function improved significantly from preoperative to 12 months postoperative (p < 0.001). EQ-5D showed a significant improvement preoperative to postoperative (p < 0.001). The influence of anxiety or depression (HADS-A or HADS-D) on functional outcome could not be determined. There was a high patient satisfaction postoperatively, and almost 100% of patients would choose enhanced recovery surgery again. Conclusion: Cementless THA with the concept of enhanced recovery improves early clinical function and quality of life. PROMs showed a continuous improvement over a follow-up of 12 months after surgery. PROMs can help patients and surgeons to modify expectations and improve patient satisfaction.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> The objective of the study was to assess the functional outcome of total hip arthroplasty (THA) done in a series of cases of hip pathologies rural population.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> A retrospective randomized controlled study conducted in 50 cases of hip arthritis (38 males and 12 females)  treated with uncemented THA for an average follow-up of  2 years  at department of orthopedics MGM Medical College, Kamothe, Navi Mumbai. Harris hip scoring system was used for the functional scoring and the postoperative radiographs were assessed by Gruen zones for the femoral component and DeLee and Charnley zones for the acetabular component. All patients were evaluated pre operatively and post operatively 3 months 6 months, 12months, 2years with Harris Hip score.<strong></strong></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> 81% of our patients scored 85 points or better for a rating of excellent by Harris hip score system. 90% patients had little /no pain post operatively, whereas walking ability improved and was unlimited in 80% of the patients post operatively. Harris hip score improved from 40 to 80. 80.5% -excellent, 13.80% -good, 5.7% -fair results. Poor results were not seen in any patient.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> THR provided excellent pain relief, adequate stability, and remarkable range of motion in severely painful, refractory hip. A significant improvement was seen at two year follow-up. </p>
