UNASSIGNED: Floating hip with hip dislocation is a very high-energy, devastating, and rare injury whose treatment is very challenging, and the outcome is usually poor.
UNASSIGNED: A 35-year-old man presented posterior wall fracture acetabulum and dislocation of the hip with ipsilateral distal third shaft femur fracture with intra-articular extension fracture and un-displaced patella fracture. We achieved a reduction of hip dislocation by a knee-spanning external fixator followed by open reduction and internal fixation with anatomical locking plate for distal third femur fracture with intra-articular extension followed by open reduction and internal fixation for posterior wall of acetabulum with recon plate in Kocher-Langenbeck approach in stages. The patient was able to partial weight bear after 12 weeks of the injury and mobilized independently without any support after 5 months.
UNASSIGNED: Floating hip with hip dislocation is difficult to manage but reducing the hip dislocation with knee spanning external fixator and management in stages will reduce the complications and better outcome.

BACKGROUND: Prosthetic dislocation after total hip arthroplasty (THA) is one of the most common causes of revision THA. Dual-mobility (DM) bearings were introduced to mitigate complications; however, there is minimal data on their performance in younger patients. This study compared results of patients who were under 55 years of age undergoing primary THA with DM or fixed-bearing (FB) implants.
METHODS: A retrospective review of patients younger than 55 years who underwent primary THA with at least 2 years of follow-up between June 2011 and August 2019 was performed. Patients were stratified into two cohorts based on the implant they received (DM vs. FB). Primary outcomes were 90-day all-cause readmission, dislocation, all-cause revision, 90-day readmission and revision due to dislocation, and implant component survivorship. Demographic differences were assessed using chi-squared and independent samples t-tests. Outcomes were compared using multivariate linear and logistic regressions to control for confounding variables.
RESULTS: A total of 803 patients were included (DM = 73, FB = 730). The DM and FB cohorts had similar rates of 90- day all-cause readmission (6.8% vs. 3.2%; p = 0.243) and 90-day readmission due to dislocation (4.1% vs. 0.8%; p = 0.653). At a mean follow-up of 4.42 ± 1.91 years, dislocation (4.1% vs. 1.1%; p = 0.723) and all-cause revision (5.5% vs. 4.9%; p = 0.497) rates between the DM and FB cohorts were similar. Kaplan Meier analysis yielded no significant differences in survivorship between groups for all-cause revision (95.1% vs. 94.5%; p = 0.923), revision due to dislocation (100% vs. 98.9%; p = 0.370), and acetabular component revision (97.3% vs. 98.6%; p = 0.418).
CONCLUSIONS: Dual mobility implants demonstrate similar dislocation rates and implant survivorship compared to FB in patients less than 55 years of age. Larger trials with long-term follow-up may be required to further elucidate the effects of DM bearings compared to FB inserts in younger patients undergoing primary THA.

This study aimed to analyse the treatment and outcomes of traumatic hip dislocation (THD) in children. Clinical data of children with THD were collected at our clinical centre from 1 June 2012 to 1 January 2023. Demographic data, injury mechanism, type of dislocation, combined injuries, reduction time, reduction method, and radiographs were analysed. The Merle d\'Aubigné-Postel hip score was used to evaluate hip function and complications at the final follow-up. A total of 19 children with THD were enrolled, including 12 male and seven female patients, with an average age of 8.28 ± 0.99 years. Posterior dislocation was the main type of dislocation (89.47%). Fifteen patients (78.95%) had experienced high-energy injuries and traffic accidents were the main causes of injury (47.37%). Closed reduction was performed as soon as possible, and open reduction was performed if necessary. The hip scores of 18 patients (94.74%) were excellent. One patient had osteonecrosis of the femoral head, with a hip function score of 10 (moderate). High-energy injuries, such as traffic accidents, have gradually become the main cause of injury. The prognosis for THD in children is generally good.

METHODS: A 48-year-old man presented to a Level 1 trauma center after a motor vehicle crash with a right irreducible posterior hip dislocation and ipsilateral fractures of the femoral head and segmental femur shaft. This injury was managed with open reduction and internal fixation and antegrade intramedullary nailing.
CONCLUSIONS: This is the first report of a combined irreducible femoral head fracture-dislocation and a segmental femur fracture, a rare injury that requires a stepwise approach to operative management of each injury. Surgeons must recognize the clinical and radiographic findings associated with irreducible hip dislocations in the setting of ipsilateral fractures to the femoral head and shaft.

UNASSIGNED: The aim of this study was to determine the clinical outcomes and factors contributing to failure of transposition osteotomy of the acetabulum (TOA), a type of spherical periacetabular osteotomy, for advanced osteoarthritis secondary to hip dysplasia.
UNASSIGNED: We reviewed patients with Tönnis grade 2 osteoarthritis secondary to hip dysplasia who underwent TOA between November 1998 and December 2019. Patient demographic details, osteotomy-related complications, and the modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS) were obtained via medical notes review. Radiological indicators of hip dysplasia were assessed using preoperative and postoperative radiographs. The cumulative probability of TOA failure (progression to Tönnis grade 3 or conversion to total hip arthroplasty) was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier product-limited method. A multivariate Cox proportional hazards model was used to identify predictors of failure.
UNASSIGNED: This study included 127 patients (137 hips). Median follow-up period was ten years (IQR 6 to 15). The median mHHS improved from 59 (IQR 52 to 70) preoperatively to 90 (IQR 73 to 96) at the latest follow-up (p < 0.001). The survival rate was 90% (95% CI 82 to 95) at ten years, decreasing to 21% (95% CI 7 to 48) at 20 years. Fair joint congruity on preoperative hip abduction radiographs and a decreased postoperative anterior wall index (AWI) were identified as independent risk factors for failure. The survival rate for the 42 hips with good preoperative joint congruity and a postoperative AWI ≥ 0.30 was 100% at ten years, and remained at 83% (95% CI 38 to 98) at 20 years.
UNASSIGNED: Although the overall clinical outcomes of TOA in patients with advanced osteoarthritis are suboptimal, favourable results can be achieved in selected cases with good preoperative joint congruity and adequate postoperative anterior acetabular coverage.

BACKGROUND: Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) often leads to the collapse of the femoral head, ultimately resulting in patients undergoing premature total hip arthroplasty (THA). The surgical hip dislocation (SHD) technique is a type of hip-preserving surgery aimed at delaying or avoiding THA. This study aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy of SHD techniques through femoral head fovea fenestration and impaction bone grafting for the treatment of non-traumatic ONFH.
METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 39 patients (39 hips) with non-traumatic ONFH who underwent SHD for treatment from 2016 to 2017. The Harris hip score (HHS) and the minimum clinically important difference (MCID) are used to evaluate clinical outcomes, while radiographic evaluations are conducted using X-rays. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis defined clinical failure as further THA, and conducted univariate survival analysis and Cox regression analysis. Any complications were recorded.
RESULTS: All patients were followed up for 24-72 months, with an average of (60 ± 13.0) months. At the last follow-up, based on the HHS, 25 patients (64.1%) reported excellent and good clinical outcomes. 29 patients (74.3%) achieved MCID. Imaging evaluation of the postoperative femoral head status showed that 6 cases improved, 20 cases remained stable, and 13 cases showed progressed. Out of 39 hips, 12 hips had postoperative clinical failure, resulting in a clinical success rate of 69.2%. Association Research Circulation Osseous (ARCO) stage, China-Japan Friendship Hospital (CJFH) classification, and postoperative crutch-bearing time are risk factors for clinical failure. Postoperative crutch-bearing time of less than 3 months is an independent risk factor for clinical failure. After surgery, there was one case of sciatic nerve injury and one case of heterotopic ossification. There were no infections or non-union of the greater trochanter osteotomy.
CONCLUSIONS: The SHD technique through the femoral head fovea fenestration and impaction bone grafting provides a safe and effective method for treating non-traumatic ONFH, with good mid-term clinical outcomes. ARCO staging, CJFH classification, and postoperative crutch-bearing time are risk factors that affect clinical outcomes after surgery and lead to further THA. Insufficient postoperative crutch-bearing time is an independent risk factor for clinical failure.

UNASSIGNED: Radiofrequency echographic multi-spectrometry (REMS) is an ultrasound technology currently used for the densitometric evaluation of osteoporosis and has been validated against dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. However, the use of REMS for bone densitometry in patients with severe motor and intellectual disabilities (SMID) remains to be reported. This study aimed to investigate whether REMS technology can be used for densitometric evaluation of osteoporosis in patients with SMID with hip dislocation and severe scoliosis.
UNASSIGNED: Sixty-five patients with SMID, who resided in a long-term care facility and received comprehensive medical and rehabilitation care, underwent REMS scans of the femoral neck and/or lumbar spine. Data regarding anthropometric parameters (height and weight), bone mineral density (BMD), clinical diagnostic classification, physical ability, presence of scoliosis and hip dislocation, and frontal radiographs of both hip joints were obtained.
UNASSIGNED: We included 29 men and 34 women (mean age: 52.6 years). All patients underwent successful scanning at either the femoral neck (82.5 %) or lumbar spine (95.2 %). BMD measurements obtained using REMS revealed low values, with a mean BMD, T-score, and Z-score of 0.67 g/cm2, -2.39 standard deviation (SD), and - 1.38 SD, respectively, at the femoral neck and 0.66 g/cm2, -2.70 SD, and - 1.87 SD, respectively, at the lumbar spine. The average Cobb angle of the lumbar spine was 34.0°; furthermore, dislocation rates did not significantly differ between those with and without successful BMD measurements (p = 0.073). Lumbar BMD T-scores were significantly correlated with femoral neck BMD T-scores (p < 0.001, r = 0.530).
UNASSIGNED: All patients with SMID were able to undergo measurements of either spinal or femoral neck BMD; furthermore, 77.7 % of the patients underwent measurements at both the lumbar spine and femur. Our data suggest that REMS is useful for measuring BMD in patients with SMID who are residing in institutions.

Bilateral asymmetric hip fracture dislocation is an extremely rare entity. The injury is caused by a high velocity mechanism. We reported a case of bilateral hip fracture dislocation and its management. A 30-year-old man with no previous medical or surgical history was involved in a road accident involving a high-speed collision between two trucks. X-rays of the pelvis revealed asymmetrical bilateral fracture-luxation of the hips. The reduction of the hips was done under general anesthesia. Asymmetrical bilateral traumatic dislocation fracture of the hip is a rare serious injury. Reduction must be performed within 6 hours. Short- and long-term monitoring of the patient is essential.

UNASSIGNED: The management of hip dislocation in patients older than 9 years of age is a challenge in terms of deciding which is the best treatment course to follow since the main sequelae are as follows: pain, discrepancy in the length of the pelvic extremities and lame gait, with the consequent disability for activities of daily living. In Ho Choi, Thabet A mention limited treatment options, including total hip arthroplasty and hip arthrodesis. These options have their benefits and limitations. The pelvic support osteotomy initially indicated for the treatment of septic arthritis of the hip and performed for the first time by Bavoier in 1838 and modified in 1970 by Ilizarov aims to improve the aforementioned sequelae. These cases report showed us the functional improvement with the treatment of dislocated hip dysplasia with pelvic support osteotomy with monolateral fixator and the 2nd osteotomy 4 cm distal to the hip. This was corroborated through the application of the modified Harris test.
UNASSIGNED: A series of six female Mexican adolescent patients from 11 to 17 years of age who come to the clinic due to long-standing pain symptoms in the coxofemoral joint, three patients in the right and three in the left hip when walking. All were treated with pelvic support osteotomy. The six patients continued with mild positive Trendelenburg but all of them diminished the discrepancy in the pelvic extremities, the mobility arcs were preserved and pain was suppressed in all. The modified Harris test showed increased scores (103.3%) after the surgery. There was just a minor complication in a patient, and it was resolved with surgical lavage.
UNASSIGNED: The modifications in the technique, monolateral fixator and second osteotomy 4 cm from the first one, allowed our patients to present functional improvement at the hip, which was assessed with the modified Harris scale. Patients achieved independent walking without pain and Trendelenburg less evident. The changes we found in our patients are evidence of the goodness and effectiveness of this type of osteotomy in patients older than 9 years of age, to improve the function of the hip.
