Background:
Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are essential tools in clinical decision-making and research. Multi-item scores like the modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS) are time-consuming to collect and evaluate. The subjective hip value (SHV), as a single-item value, assesses hip function with one question: "What is the overall percent valu...
Background: The optimal surgical approach in patients with borderline hip dysplasia (BHD) remains controversial. Both hip arthroscopy and periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) are commonly employed in this patient population. Those who participate in sports want to resume and maintain sports activities after surgery, and the ability to do so plays an impo...
Background
Conflicting evidence exists regarding outcomes in middle-aged patients undergoing periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) for symptomatic developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH).
Aims
To compare patient reported outcomes (PROMs) of middle-aged PAO patients with younger patient groups.
Methods
Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected d...
Aims
Psychological status may be an important predictor of outcome after periacetabular osteotomy (PAO). The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of psychological distress on postoperative health-related quality of life, joint function, self-assessed pain, and sports ability in patients undergoing PAO.
Methods
In all, 202 consecutive...
Background:
The optimal fixation technique in periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) remains controversial. Modified fixation with Kirschner wires (K-wires) was described as a feasible and safe alternative. However, clinical follow-up of patients treated with this technique is lacking.
Aims:
To assess patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) in patients treate...
Background:
An increasing number of elderly patients are becoming candidates for elective total hip arthroplasty (THA). Conflicting results exist with regard to the safety of THA in nonagenarians. The aims of this study were to evaluate postoperative mortality and morbidity after THA in nonagenarians and underlying risk factors. We hypothesized th...
Lumbo‐sacral transitional vertebrae (LSTV) are the most common congenital alteration of the lumbo‐sacral junction and known to significantly influence pelvic anatomy. However, the influence
of LSTV on dysplasia of the hip (DDH) and the surgical treatment by periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) remains unknown. We retrospectively examined standardized sta...
Background
Spinal function can be assessed through different patient reported outcome measures (PROMs). Purpose: The aim of the present study was to evaluate a novel single-item score for the assessment of spinal function: The Subjective Spine Value (SSpV). It was hypothesized that the SSpV correlates with the established scores Oswestry disability...
Background:
Osteitis condensans ilii (OCI) is a relatively rare benign disease of the lower anterior sacroiliac joint (SIJ) region that can cause symptoms such as low back pain (LBP), lateral hip pain and nonspecific hip or thigh pain. Its exact pathoetiology remains to be clarified. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of OCI in p...
Die periazetabuläre Osteotomie nach Ganz (PAO) ist eine etablierte Technik zur operativen Therapie der Hüftgelenksdysplasie mit dem Ziel, das dysplastische Hüftgelenk biomechanisch zu optimieren. Durch die mehrdimensionale Reorientierung soll die defizitäre Überdachung des Hüftkopfes verbessert und physiologische Werte erreicht werden. Bis zur knöc...
Background:
Patients undergoing periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) for symptomatic developmental dysplasia of the hip are usually young and active with high functional demands. Those who participate in sports seek surgical therapy to resume or maintain sports activities. There is little evidence regarding the postoperative level of activity and the ex...
Background
The impact of the prior fixation mode on the treatment outcome of chronic periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) of the hip is unclear. Removal of cemented total hip arthroplasty (THA) is particularly challenging and residual cement might be associated with reinfection. This study seeks to compare the results of two-stage revision for PJI...
Background:
Administering intraoperative analgesia in patients undergoing periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is challenging due to both the relevant surgical approach and osteotomies, which are associated with pain. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of the transversus abdominis plane block (TAPb) on intraoperative opioid consumption and c...
As a surgical treatment option in symptomatic developmental dysplasia of the hip, periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is often performed in female patients of childbearing age. Yet, to date, little is known about the procedure’s influence on postoperative pregnancies and the mode of delivery. Our study’s aim therefore was to investigate patient and phys...
Background:
This study sought to compare the results of two-stage revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) for periprosthetic infection (PJI) in patients with and without the use of an extended trochanteric osteotomy (ETO) for removal of a well-fixed femoral stem or cement.
Methods:
Thirty-two patients who had undergone an ETO as part of a two-stag...
Aims
The aim of this study was to compare the fixation stability and complications in patients undergoing periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) with either K-wire or screw fixation.
Patients and methods
We performed a retrospective study to analyze a consecutive series of patients who underwent PAO with either screw or K-wire fixation. Patients who were...
The optimal fixation technique in periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) remains controversial. This study aims to assess the in vivo stability of fixation in PAO with and without the use of a transverse screw. We performed a retrospective study to analyse consecutive patients who underwent PAO between January 2015 and June 2017. Eighty four patients (93 h...
Background
High rates of spacer-related complications in two-stage exchange total hip arthroplasty (THA) have been reported. Patients with advanced bone defects and abductor deficiency may benefit from a non-spacer two-stage revision. This study reports on the clinical course of a contemporary two-stage exchange for periprosthetic hip infection wit...
Background: Patients undergoing periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) may experience significant postoperative pain due to the extensive approach and multiple osteotomies. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of the transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block on reducing opioid consumption and improving clinical outcome in PAO patients.
Patients...
Background:
The subjective hip value (SHV) was developed as a patient-reported outcome measurement (PROM) that is easily and quickly performed and interpreted. The SHV is defined as a patient's subjective hip measurement tool expressed as a percentage of an entirely normal hip joint, which would score 100%. The hypothesis is that results of the su...
