Purpose: Cementless total hip arthroplasty was performed to treat primary osteoarthritis of the hip and avascular necrosis of the femoral head. The clinical and radiological results of the acetabular cups and femoral stems were compared. Materials and Methods: The subjects were 84 cases who underwent primary cementless total hip arthroplasty from March 1992 to May 2001. The 84 cases were followed up for at least eight years. The patients were divided into the following two groups: group (A), 38 cases of degenerative osteoarthritis of the hip; and group (B), 46 cases of avascular necrosis of the hip. The clinical evaluation was conducted based on the Harris Hip Score (HHS). A radiological assessment was performed to determine if osteolysis or acetabular loosening had occurred. The results were analyzed statistically. Results: The postoperative HHS of groups A and B at the final follow-up were 92.1 and 91.2, respectively (p=0.483). The radiological results revealed 9 and 15 cases of acetabular osteolysis (p=0.671) and 1 and 3 cases of vertical migration of the acetabular cups in the group A and B, respectively. Eight and 7 complications (p=0.572) were encountered in group A and B, respectively. Among these, 4 and 5 cases of revisional total hip arthroplasty were performed in group A and B, respectively. The results of survival analysis were similar in the two groups (p=0.969). Conclusion: The clinical and radiological features of the acetabular cups and stems were similar in the two groups. Nevertheless, further studies will be needed due to the high rate of polyethylene liner wear and osteolysis around the acetabular cups or femoral stems.

We report a rare case of a complete disassembly of the inner head from the bipolar cup without polyethylene wear and locking system failure. An 84-year-old man who had a femur neck fracture of the right hip underwent a replacement of the bipolar prosthesis 4 months ago. He fell down from a height of a chair and felt a sudden sharp pain in the right hip. Roentgenograms revealed that the inner head was dislocated from the outer cup; subsequently, a revision surgery was carried out. When the outer head was removed from the acetabulum, the bearing insert and locking ring were not deformed. Because there was no evidence of loosening of the femoral stem, identicallysized bipolar cup and metal head replacement was performed. At a 6 months follow-up, he had mild hip pain but had returned fully to daily living.

The Smith-Petersen anterior approach and the Watson-Jones anterolateral approach are the two most renowned anterior approaches for hip surgery. The anterior approach offers several advantages, including a reduced dislocation risk as compared with that associated with the posterior approach. The post-operative dislocation rate after total hip arthroplasty is known to be 2~3 times lower than that of the posterior approach. However, a more extensive skin incision and poor anatomical visualization are some of the disadvantages of the anterior approach. Nevertheless, since this approach preserves the circulation to the femoral head, the ability to perform the anterior approach is imperative for hip surgeons.

Purpose: We evaluated the usefulness of radiographic parameters for osteoporosis by analyzing the results of radiographic parameters determined by digital hip radiographs and bone mineral density T-scores, as assessed by Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA). Materials and Methods: The authors reviewed 100 subjects in the hip fracture group and 50 in the non-fracture control group. Digital hip radiographs were assessed to determine the values of Singh index, Canal-to-Calcar Ratio, and Cortical Thickness Index (CTI). Bone mineral density was assessed by DEXA. Results: Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) results of the CTI were above 0.8 in the fracture group. Compared to the control group, the fracture group showed higher ICCs. Interobserver ICCs were especially lower in the control group. There were statistically significant correlations between CTI and DEXA (r=0.50~0.58, p<0.05). In the analysis of ROC curves, a mean threshold for CTI set a value of 0.54 (0.53~0.55), and mean sensitivity and specificity were 75.5% (69~79%) and 67.8% (65~78%), respectively. Conclusion: CTI showed reasonable reliability and correlation with DEXA results. CTI was a useful radiographic parameter to alert the surgeon to recommend referral for osteoporosis evaluation in elderly hip fracture patients.

Purpose: We wanted to evaluate the clinical and radiographic results of ceramic on ceramic bearing cementless total hip arthroplasty with a minimum of 10-years follow up. Materials and Methods: This study was performed on 44 patients and 51 hips, and the patients were recruited among the patients who underwent ceramic-ceramic type cementless total hip arthroplasty from August 1998 to February 2000 and they were available for 10-years or longer follow up. The gender ratio was 28 males and 16 females, and the mean age at the time of surgery was 49 years (range: 26~77 years). Regarding the causality of disease, osteonecrosis was noted in 36 cases, degenerative arthritis was noted in 4 cases, acetabular dysplasia was noted in 4 cases and septic or tuberculous hip sequelae was noted in 7 cases. The clinical evaluation was performed according to the Harris hip score, and for the radiological evaluation of the femoral component, we assessed the degree of subsidence and the presence of periprosthetic osteolysis, endosteal new bone formation and cortical hypertrophy, and the final fixation state of the implant. In the cases with an acetabular cup osteoscleostic line in the vicinity of the acetabular cup, endosteal new bone formation, acetabular osteolysis and the vertical migration as well as the horizontal migration of the acetubular cup were assessed. Results: Regarding the clinical outcomes, the Harris hip score was improved from an average 59 points to 93 points at the final follow up. For the radiological results, osteolysis was not detected in the acetabular and femoral components, the subsidence of femoral stem was not beyond 2 mm on average and significant subsidence was not detected. In regard to complications, linear fracture during surgery was noted in 6 cases and postoperative hip dislocation was noted in 1 case. A ceramic head fracture occurred in one case and a ceramic liner fracture occurred in 2 cases. Conclusion: This type of articulation is a promising option at a minimum of 10-years follow up of 51 hips that underwent ceramic-ceramic bearing cementless total hip arthroplasty. However, our results demonstrated that surgeons should be aware of the potential risks of ceramic fracture when using ceramic-on-ceramic bearing surfaces. Additional longer-term follow-up is necessary.

Multiple drilling of the femoral head is a commonly-used surgical technique for the treatment of osteonecrosis. Several holes are drilled into the femoral head using a small-diameter Steinmann pin. This decompression technique promotes revascularization and regeneration of necrotic tissue in the femoral head. Known complications are heterotopic ossification and femoral subtrochanteric fractures, although these have only been rarely reported. Our case study focuses on a subtrochanteric fracture 6 weeks after a multiple drilling operation.

Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a frequent complication associated with spinal cord injury and can lead to significant problems during rehabilitation. Surgical resection of HO could be applied to patients who do not respond to conservative treatment. To reduce the risk of recurrence after the operation, radiation therapy and NSAID or bisphosphonate administration may be utilized. We report the case of a 48-year-old male with a T3-sparing spinal cord injury who underwent successful treatment of immature HO in the iliacus muscle with a combination of surgical resection, radiation therapy, and NSAID administration.

Osteoporosis is defined as a skeletal disorder characterized by compromised bone strength, predisposing an individual to increased fracture risk. Many factors can lead to the development of osteoporosis. It is usually asymptomatic unless osteoporotic fracture and secondary changes of bone structure occur. Early radiographs show normal findings; however, osteopenic appearance, fracture, cortical bone thinning, and roughening of bone trabeculae can be found according to severity of osteoporosis. These symptoms are most frequently found in the spine and proximal femur. Bone mineral density (BMD) is the standard method used to diagnose osteoporosis, and dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), one of the measurement tools for BMD, is particularly regarded as the appropriate tool applicable to WHO criteria, which defines osteoporosis as a T-score of less than 2.5 SDs below the mean of young adult women. Peripheral densitometry is less useful in predicting the risk of fractures of the spine and proximal femur, and it is not enough to diagnose and treat osteoporosis. Biochemical bone markers have demonstrated utility in clinical research and trials; however, they cannot replace BMD as a diagnostic tool. WHO recently developed FRAX, a novel method we can use to more conveniently evaluate osteoporotic fracture risk.
