Background: Hemiarthroplasty and total hip arthroplasty are commonly used to treat displaced intracapsular fractures of the femoral neck, but each has disadvantages optimal treatment these remains controversial. Methods: In present prospectively randomized study, eighty-one patients who had been mobile lived independently before they sustained a fracture neck were receive either or hemiarthroplasty. The mean age was seventy-five years. Outcome assessed with use Oxford score, final...

We reviewed the seven- to ten-year results of our previously reported prospective randomised controlled trial comparing total hip replacement and hemiarthroplasty for treatment displaced intracapsular fracture femoral neck. Of original study group 81 patients, 47 were still alive. After a mean follow up nine years (7 10) overall mortality was 32.5% 51.2% after hemiarthroplasty, respectively (p = 0.09). At 100 months postoperatively significantly greater proportion patients had died 0.026)....

Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is most common skeletal developmental disease. However, its genetic architecture poorly understood. We conduct largest DDH genome-wide association study to date and replicate our findings in independent cohorts. find heritable component attributable variants be 55% distributed equally across autosomal X-chromosomes. identify replicating evidence for between GDF5 promoter variation (rs143384, effect allele A, odds ratio 1.44, 95% confidence interval...

Abstract Polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) are the most abundant circulating leukocytes, and first cells recruited to sites of tissue inflammation. Using a fixation method preserve native CD marker expression prior immunophenotyping, we identified distinct population “primed for recruitment” PMNs in healthy mouse human blood that has high adhesion activation markers compared with bulk resting-state PMNs. In response acute inflammation, primed (pPMNs) were rapidly depleted from circulation...

Abstract Introduction Children with developmental hip dislocation (DDH) that have failed closed reduction or presented late may be treated open either via the medial approach (MOR), a delayed anterolateral (AOR) approach. There is no consensus on which provides better outcomes. This updated prospective cohort study aims to compare approaches at long term follow up. Methods Thirty hips in 25 children (MOR) and 19 18 who were for DDH our centre identified. All patients included had reached...

The medial approach for the treatment of children with developmental dysplasia hip (DDH) in whom closed reduction has failed requires minimal access negligible blood loss. In United Kingdom, there is a preference these to be treated using an anterolateral after appearance ossific nucleus. this study we compared two protocols, primarily risk osteonecrosis. Data were gathered prospectively protocols involving (26 hips 22 children) and (22 21 aged &lt; 24 months at time surgery. Osteonecrosis...

Brace treatment is the cornerstone of managing developmental dysplasia hip (DDH), yet there a lack evidence-based protocols, which results in wide variations practice. To resolve this, we have developed comprehensive nonoperative protocol conforming to published consensus principles, with well-defined priori criteria for inclusion and successful treatment.This was single-centre, prospective, longitudinal cohort study consecutive series infants ultrasound-confirmed DDH who underwent brace...

Of 586 employed patients with a whiplash injury 40 (7%) did not return to work. The risk was increased by three times in heavy manual workers, two and half prior psychological symptoms doubled for each increase of grade disability. length time off work history trebled self-employed were as likely take work, but recovered significantly more slowly than employees.

When cerebral palsy involves the entire body pelvic asymmetry indicates that both hips are 'at risk'. We carried out a six-year retrospective clinical, radiological and functional study of 30 children (60 hips) with severe involving to evaluate whether bilateral simultaneous combined soft-tissue bony surgery hip could affect range movement, achieve symmetry as judged by windsweep index, improve indices containment, relieve pain, handling function. The early results at median follow-up three...
