Melorheostosis is a rare mesenchymal dysplasia of bone manifesting as regions of sclerosing and thickening of bone tissue. This disease may involve the adjacent soft tissues and lead to joint pain, limitation of joint motion, stiffness resulting from abnormal ossification and soft-tissue contractures due to periarticular fibrosis. The paper describes a clinical case of a patient who presented with pain and stiffness in the proximal part of the left hip which patient suffered for the last 10 years. At first the patient had intermittent pain in the lower back and left hip during and after walking. Radiographs revealed dense sclerotic and wavy cortex and hyperostosis involving the left iliac crest, the acetabulum, and the femur. CT angiography with contrast was performed for preoperative planning. During the procedure the authors performed total hip arthroplasty of the left hip with excision of fibro-ossifications in the left ilioinguinal area. Severe periarticular fibrosis of the soft tissue was observed intraoperatively and cartilage-like formation was visible around the joint. A sample of the ossification bone was resected for histologic confirmation of the diagnosis; extensive cortical sclerosis with varying thickness typical of melorheostosis was found. Early postoperative period went without complications following routine post-THR protocol. Postoperative X-rays at 6, 12, 24 months did not reveal any complications or new ossifications. Full ROM and pain-free function were achieved in the left hip and lower back of the patient. The present clinical case of total hip arthroplasty with excision of fibroossifications provided good clinical outcome for melorheostosis of the left hip.

Background and objectives: The influence of changes in spinal alignment after total hip arthroplasty (THA) on improvement in lower back pain (LBP) remains controversial. To evaluate how changes in spinal malalignment correlate with improvement in preoperative LBP in patients who underwent THA for hip osteoarthritis. Materials and Methods: From November 2015 to January 2017, 104 consecutive patients who underwent unilateral THA were prospectively registered. Whole spine X-rays and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) were obtained preoperatively and 12 months postoperatively. The PROs used were the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) for back pain, EuroQol 5 Dimension, and Short Form-12. Results: Seventy-four (71%) patients with complete data were eligible for the analysis. The sagittal parameters changed slightly but significantly. Coronal alignment significantly improved. Twenty-six (37%) patients had LBP preoperatively. These patients had smaller lumbar lordosis (LL), larger PT, and larger PI minus LL than the patients without LBP. Fourteen (54%) of the 26 patients with preoperative LBP showed pain improvement, but there were no significant differences in the radiographic parameters. Conclusions: Although preoperative LBP was likely to be resolved after THA, there were no significant correlations between alignment changes and LBP improvement. The cause of LBP in patients with hip osteoarthritis (OA) patients might be multifactorial.

Introduction: Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR) implants may be combined with a conventional femoral stem to create a modular metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasty (BHR MoM THA). There is little outcome data regarding this construct. This study examines midterm outcomes of BHR MoM THA compared to oxidised zirconium total hip arthroplasty (THA). Methods: A retrospective institutional review identified all patients receiving BHR MoM THA between April 2005 and February 2011 and a matched control cohort of zirconium THA patients. Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), Harris Hip Score (HHS), and SF-12 Health status scores were obtained. Revisions and complications were collected from clinical records. Radiographs were assessed for evidence of component malposition, loosening, osteolysis, or heterotopic ossification. Results: 63 modular BHR MoM THA were identified in 61 patients (36 with BHR cups, 27 with R3 cups) and 63 zirconium THA in 58 matched controls. Mean follow-up was 58 months. 14 BHR MoM THA hips (22.2%) were revised (4 infections, 1 dislocation, 9 soft tissue reactions) compared to 3 (4.8%) zirconium THA (all infections). At latest follow-up, 18.4% of surviving BHR MoM THA hips were painful compared to 0.5% of zirconium THA controls ( p < 0.001). WOMAC, HHS, and SF-12 did not differ significantly between surviving members of the 2 groups. Discussion: BHR MoM THA demonstrated a high revision rate, largely for adverse local soft tissue reaction and pain. Among those not revised, many reported some residual pain despite similar quality of life measures to those who received zirconium THA.
