Background

We present the results of cementless total hip arthroplasty using anatomically adapted stem and hemispherical cup with a fully coated Spongiosa metal surface, first introduced in 1982, which aims to achieve a surface structure approaching that of human cancellous bone. This implant is still being used in clinical practice with minor modifications.

Aim

The aim of the study is to determine the long-term outcomes of spongiosa-I metal surface hip arthroplasty over minimum of twenty years follow-up.

Background

Fractures of the radial head result from an axial force that causes impaction against the capitellum. Associated lesions of the capitellum in this pattern of injury have been previously reported in the orthopaedic literature as an uncommon occurrence.

Methods

All patients presenting to the clinics of the senior surgeon between 1998-2008 with radial head fractures requiring surgery were included. Data collected included demographics (age, gender, side of injury), mechanism, timing of injury and injury type (Mason classification). Intraoperative findings including evidence of union, capitellar injury, associated joint dislocation, collateral ligament injury, and any other fractures around the elbow were documented.

Background

Labral tears are now recognised as a common pathology especially in young adults. With advancement of arthroscopic techniques, most recent published literature is focused on short- or mid-term results of labral repair or re-fixation. There is limited data regarding long-term results of labral debridement and effect of co-existing pathology on outcomes. We investigated long-term results after arthroscopic labral debridement, the predictors of outcomes and correlation with any co-existing hip pathology.

Materials and Methods

Between 1996 and 2003, 50 patients who underwent hip arthroscopy and labral debridement with mean follow-up of 8.4±1.7 years (range 7-13.6 years) were included in our study. Patients' pre-operative Harris Hip Score and co-existing pathologies such as FAI, dysplasia or arthritis were recorded as variables. Further, patients' post-operative HHS and satisfaction at the time of follow-up were recorded as outcomes. Spearman's rho correlation coefficient and regression analysis were calculated between these variables and outcomes.
