Summary: Orthopedic Sports Medicine

In a normal hip, the head of the femur or “the ball” sits in the socket of the hip joint and is very rounded. There is good blood supply and allows the osteoblast to continue to generate new bone. It also allows osteocytes maintain the bone shape. The factors lead to a healthy hip and permits that child to use it efficiently. During LCPD, the blood supply to the ball of the femur is interrupted. This loss of blood to this area inhibits osteoblast to create new bone, and osteocytes

Over three hundred thousand hip replacements were performed in 2010. A two hundred percent increase from 2000. The number of replacements has continued to grow as recovery from the surgery has become much faster. Although recovery time has decreased, patients are still at risk of infection from their bodies rejecting the metal replacement hip. Infection from the bodies’ reaction to the metal hip will soon become a problem of the past as researchers have begun making replacement hips out of bone-like material infused with antibiotics. These new replacements will allow the body to heal with the new structure instead of fighting the foreign material. Patients will recover even faster with less chance of infection. Each patient’s hip will be custom-made to model the patient's bone with a new technique called Fused Filament Fabrication

Cam impingement is more common in young men, presenting at an average age of 32 years. Athletes that are involved in high-impact sports, such as soccer, basketball and ice hockey, during adolescence have a higher prevalence of cam-type FAI as compared to non-athletes [13, 14]. This may be due to increased stresses on the femoral head while the physis of the femoral head is still developing. Another theory is that it may be due to new bone formation at the anterosuperior head-neck junction. Paediatric hip diseases such as Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis [7] and Calve-Perthes [8] have been associated with an increased incidence of FAI. Other factors which may influence impingement includes an abnormal femoral head neck offset, pistol grip deformity,

Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) and Legg-Calve-Perthes (LCP) disease are developmental conditions (1, 2) with SCFE being described as a common source of pain and disability, and the most common cause of degenerative hip disease in middle-aged patients (3, 4). Proximal femoral osteotomies following SCFE aim to restore more normal anatomy, improve function and reduce the morbidity and complications of pain, reduced range of movement, early arthritis and leg length discrepancy (3). Up to 50% of involved hips do well with no intervention but these hips are always at risk of developing secondary arthritis and similarly adult hip joints of patients with SCFE are more prone to develop advanced osteoarthritis (5). In general outcomes of

Population: How common is CAUTI following total hip replacement (THR) surgery. Are there specific characteristics of this population that make them vulnerable to CAUTI? What are the risk factors that predispose to CAUTI?

There are problems that start occurring over time, but do not show up at the beginning. In a hip replacement, a patient’s artificial hip may begin to loosen over time. This doesn’t occur as much anymore due to the advancements of technology, but overtime people’s artificial hip would slowly detach and cause a lot of pain (“Hip”). In addition, patients are not able to perform high impact sports because wear and tear can happen (“Total”). On the other hand, those who undergo hip arthroscopies usually do not have to make changes to daily life, but that is all based on the damage present (Byrd).There are certain rare cases in which people have had to quit high impact sports or activities, but usually 85-90% of patients can play sports and return to daily life at the same level they did previously (Coleman). This proves that there is a variety of long term outcomes depending on the case, surgery, and person. All of the information the patient receives from the surgeon will let them take the most appropriate decision based on what they want their future to be

Hip dysplasia is a condition at the hip which babies are born with or developed in the early stages in their life. This is due to the ball and socket joint not forming properly in babies. This condition is also known as DDH (development dysplasia of the hip). DDH can have an effect on both of the hips but it mainly affects the left hip and it is to be said that its common in first born children and girls. The thigh bone and pelvis are attached together as the hip joint attaches them with each other. The top of the femur which is shaped like a ball fits inside hip socket which is shaped like a cup. The socket of the hip is not that deep therefore the femoral head is not secured and held tight in its place, causing the hip joint to be loose.

Artificial hip replacements are medical devices that are inserted into the body surgically via a procedure that aims to replace the hip joint with plastic, ceramic, or metal components if it has been broken or affected by diseases or injuries. The purpose of this report is to provide a summary of the historical

One prospective cohort study of 739 hip fracture surgeries (Enocson et al., 2008) showed that dislocation rate after anterolateral approach was 3.0 %. Though, this

The upper hand in young active men is for cam lesion . The cam is attributed to a derease in the offset of the femoral head and neck resulting in a nonspherical portion of the femoral head abutting against an acetabular rim. This abutment is most evident in flexion and internal rotation. This cause an outside-in abrasion of the acetabular cartilage with avulsion from the labrum and subchondral bone .This can lead to separation of the cartilage from the antero superior aspect of the labrum.[23]

The hip joint is one of the largest joints in the human body. It is also commonly referred as ball and socket joint. For a healthy hip joint, the bones are connected to each other with bands of tissue called ligaments, which are lubricated with fluid to reduce friction. This joint is surrounded by a type of tissue called cartilage that is designed to help support the joints and prevent bones from rubbing against each other (O'Shea, 1998).

Unfortunately for this life long hockey player his extremely athletic lifestyle, that included working out and running competitively took a toll on his hips. Pain and weakness resulting from hip impingements with labral tears and cartilage damage required surgical repair.

Arthritis is one of the leading causes of femoral fractures especially in the elderly. It may also be caused by trauma or injury, starting from simple falls to more extensive such as a fall from height. Indeed, a femoral fracture affects hip movement as it forms the ball and socket joint. Those of who have a fractured hip should seek treatment immediately since it can damage surrounding tissue, alter physical mobility and, therefore, affect the quality of life. When mobility is likely to be altered

Hip fracture is a major public health problem. It is associated with substantial pain and suffering, disability and even death for affected patient and substantial health and social care costs to society (Hernlund et al. 2013). To outline the magnitude, the lifetime probability of hip fracture at the age of 50 is estimated at 7 to 25 % (Kanis et al. 2013), and the excess mortality during the first year after fracture at 8-36% depending on age and sex (Abrahamsen et al. 2009). In addition, less than half of all survivors regain the level of function that they had prior to the fracture (Melton 2003). Hip fracture is the most serious osteoporotic fracture, and its consequences exceed those of all other fragility fractures combined (Hernlund et

Radiographic (anterior/posterior and lateral X-rays of the hip). Using this, we can analyse movement in component of prostheses other than those that could be associated with patient specific factors as well as evidence of bone lysis deemed to be secondary to the tracking of articular wear debris.
