Abstract

Introduction Periprosthetic fracture is the most common cause of reoperation after resurfacing arthroplasty. The majority of fractures associated with this kind of arthroplasty are mostly subcapital fractures. Inter- and sub-trochanteric fractures after resurfacing arthroplasty are rarely reported, and there is no consensus regarding the treatment of such fractures. Case Report We present the case of a patient in whom an intertrochanteric femoral fracture distal to a hip resurfacing implant was successfully managed by internal fixation with the use of a locking compression plate (LCP), after failed conservative management. We also discuss an in-depth literature review on the topic. Conclusion We believe that osteosynthesis is a better option than arthroplasty in the management of such injuries. Due to technical issues discussed in our paper, we believe LCP to be an optimal fixation device.

4. Aseptic Loosening after Total Hip Arthroplasty in an Acromegalic Patient: A Case Report.

Abstract

Acromegaly is a rare disorder characterized by excess secretion of growth hormone and its principle mediator, insulin-like growth factor-1. Although acromegaly is frequently associated with osteoarthritis, the outcome of arthroplasty in this population is not documented., info:eu-repo/semantics/published

5. L'arthroplastie totale de hanche: histoire et perspectives d'une intervention chirurgicale emblématique

Author

Abstract

With nearly 2 million implants placed annually, total hip arthroplasty is one of the most frequently performed surgerical procedure. A historical review of this intervention reminds us of the times when surgery was done by barber, before the f irst attempts of interposit ion arthroplasty. It is only in 1970 that Sir John Charnley lay the foundations of modern arthroplasty. The pharmaceutical industry, by sharing this lucrative market of $ 5 billion annual revenue, is now playing a major role in the development of the next generation of implants., SCOPUS: re.j, info:eu-repo/semantics/published

Abstract

Greater trochanteric pain syndrome is characterized by pain at or around the greater trochanter. Numerous management modalities have been proposed, with varying success. Cochrane and Pubmed database have been searched from 1990 for studies focusing on the management of this syndrome. We only selected studies with a validated outcome measure. 11 studies met our inclusion criteria. Evidence points towards a pain reduction in the first months after a corticosteroid injection, but this effect does not persist with time. Low energy shock wave therapy also has a positive effect in the short term, the longer term results being more controversial. Although surgery is poorly documented, authors agree to reserve this option only for greater trochanteric pain syndrome failing to respond to conservative measures. The complication and re-intervention rate should not be underestimated.

7. Aseptic Loosening after Total Hip Arthroplasty in an Acromegalic Patient: A Case Report.

Abstract

Introduction: Acromegaly is a rare disorder characterized by excess secretion of growth hormone and its principle mediator, insulin-like growth factor-1. Although acromegaly is frequently associated with osteoarthritis, the outcome of arthroplasty in this population is not documented., Case Report: We report here a case of aseptic loosening of an uncemented total hip arthroplasty acetabulum in an acromegalic patient that was revised with a cemented cup. It has been suggested that the incidence of this complication is increased in other pathology with a similarly high bone-turnover (e.g., Paget's disease), but this complication has however not yet been reported in the setting of acromegaly., Conclusion: Although coincidence cannot be ruled out, multiple metabolic hypotheses could account for an altered osseointegration process in the presence of acromegaly, which could lead to a higher risk of loosening., Competing Interests: Conflict of Interest: Nil
