Post-operative rehabilitation included review by ortho-geriatrician on next ward round usually within one working day and physiotherapy on day one post-operatively or as soon as medical condition would allow. All patients had radiographs post-operatively as soon as possible and prior to discharge. There was no routine follow up organized for patients following their discharge from the hospital.
All ASA grade I patients with intra-capsular fracture neck of femur, who live active life, were offered total hip replacement as per guidelines from NICE. Similarly, patients with significant osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis were offered total hip replacement for intra-capsular fractured neck of femur. ASA grade IV patients with very

This system has best available ODEP rating of 10A and has proven record for its use in total hip replacement. In this system, femoral stems were available in different sizes ranging between 0 to 5. For each size, surgeons had choice of standard as well as extended offsets to achieve adequate tissue tension and stability. In addition, surgeons also had choice of neck extensions of 3.5, 7.5 and 10.5 mm to restore anatomy and achieve better stability.
This change was introduced in 2012 to comply with NICE guidelines for use of implants with proven records and known ODEP ratings, as well as to reduce rate of dislocation of hemiarthroplasty of the hip in these frail patients. Prior to introduction of CPT system, departmental training for the use of implants was conducted and templating of pre-operative radiographs were introduced. Templating of radiographs was done by printing the hard copies of pelvis views with other side of normal hip available for use in templating.
Patients records and data were retrieved from electronic records including BlueSpier® theatre management system, theatre implant records as well as Patient Administration System (PAS) used in NHS. Radiographs were reviewed from Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS). Hard copy records of all patients with dislocation of the hip hemiarthroplasty were reviewed for assessment of further management and

PROCEDURE IN DETAIL: The patient was brought into the operating room, after satisfactory anesthesia, was placed in the left lateral dicubitis position. The right hip was prepped and draped. A previous made incision was reopened over the greater trochanter and carried down to Illiotibial (IT) band. The IT band was opened in the direction of the skin incision. The anterior 1/3 of the gluteus medius/minimus group was reflected off the trochanter over to the anterior brim of the pelvis. The hip was dislocated. The femoral component was easily removed. It was loose in the cement. The polyethylene was loose and easily removed. There was a lot of cement in and around the acetabulum. We debridement most of this. There was a wired mesh plug that went medially into the pelvis that was left in place. There was also one in the ishium that was quite stable and it was left in place. There was a large defect in the medial wall of the acetabulum about the size of a silver dollar.
When someone has surgery on their hip, such as a hip replacement, you as a coder and biller will need to code the incision, equipment, medicine, the approach of the procedure.
The bone structure of a normal hip consists of an acetabular and a femoral head, which is covered with articular cartilage, a smooth and strong cover. There is then a ring of cartilage which is called the acetabular labrum. This provides stability, maintains joint fluid pressure and distributes weight to the femoral head. With poor coverage of the femoral
During a total hip replacement, one or both parts of the hip joint are replaced, depending on the type of joint damage you have. The hip is a ball-and-socket type of joint, and it has two main parts. The ball part of the joint (femoral head) is the top of the thigh bone (femur). The socket part of the joint is a large indent in the side of your pelvis (acetabulum) where the femur and pelvis meet.
Introduction: The number of revision arthroplasties performed each year is growing. Last year 9751 revision hip arthroplasties and 5783 revision knee arthroplasties were performed in England and Wales. Between 2005 and 2010, the number of revision hip arthroplasties rose by 49.1%, and revision knee arthroplasties by 92.1%. This number is predicted to rise by 31% and 332% respectively by 20303. It is perhaps a concern that many surgeons and units perform small numbers of revisions. The Getting It Right First Time (GIRFT) report suggested that about 80% of surgeons carrying out revision knee surgery, and 60% of surgeons carrying out revision hip surgery, perform fewer than 10 procedures per year. In the report a recommendation was made that specialist networks be set up to support revision arthroplasty.
Hip osteoarthritis is a cause of severe pain and disability but it can be treated well with total hip arthroplasty surgery. Short term THA studies have reported a great improvement in the general health and quality of life and functionality of the hip in subjects with OA. Patient who undergo total hip arthroplasty may have impaired long-term self-reported physical quality of life and hip functionality, but still, they perform physically in a better condition than the ones who are untreated with advanced hip
Rehabilitation for the hip joint is a long, strenuous recovery because it is the major weight bearing joint for the body as well as providing several ranges of motion. Following hip arthroplasty surgery patients are non weight bearing. Initial physical therapy rehabilitation focuses on stretching the hamstrings, quadriceps, hip flexors, abductors muscles. To maintain range of motion, passive and active exercises of the hip and knee are performed. To avoid atrophy of the muscles, strengthening exercises are progressively intertwined at very low intensity levels. As the patient continues muscle strengthening activities, they will begin weight bearing with normal gait. The next stage of rehab is in the closed kinetic chain, which lowers the
At last follow up 20 patients remained disease free, 7 patients had no evidence of disease, 5 patients were alive with disease, and 2 patients died of disease. During follow-up, the frozen autografts were removed in 3 cases (8.8%); in two cases, due to local recurrence from residual soft tissue part around the femur and the third case due to deep infection in the tibia. Only one case with local recurrence underwent ablative surgery (hip disarticulation). The five and ten-year survival rates of the patients were 97% and 94.1% respectively (figure 2). The five and ten-year survival rates of the frozen autograft were 91.2 %, (figure 3) with survival rate of 94.4% and 87.5% for pedicled and free frozen autograft respectively (figure 4). The mean ISOLS score for all patients; was 26.1 points (86.79%) with range of30%-100% and for the 31 patients who retained the frozen autograft was 27 points 90%.
A total hip replacement is a surgical process where the diseased cartilage and bone of the hip joint is surgically substituted with artificial materials. The socket is a cup-shaped component of the pelvis and the ball is the head of the thighbone. This procedure involves surgical removal of the unhealthy ball and socket and changing them with a metal or ceramic ball and stem inserted into the femur bone and an artificial plastic or ceramic cup socket. When the prosthesis is placed into the central core of the femur, it is attached with a bony cement material called as methyl methacrylate. Total hip replacement is also referred to as total hip
Different surgical approaches were developed for hip arthroplasty, the most famous one being utilized in Europe is the Anterolateral approach followed by the Anterior one.
Hip structural analysis uses information about bone geometry and mass distribution obtained from DEXA scans of the hip to calculate parameters that include hip axis length , neck-shaft angle , cross-sectional area , outer width , section modulus, cross-sectional moment of inertia , and buckling ratio out of which hip axis length is important . (75)
Currently, one of the main achievements in the field of arthroplasty is total joint replacement, where the entire load-bearing joint (mainly in the knee, hip or shoulder) is replaced surgically by ceramic, metal or polymeric artificial materials. Bone replacement, fracture fixation, dental implants, dental restorations, bone plates and orthodontic wires are some of the medical devices that provide structural and mechanical support. A pioneer of hip replacement surgery, Sir John Charlene—a British orthopedic surgeon— first begun to experiment with Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) in 1962. However, UHMWPE did not begin to be widely used until the 1970’s. As a means of improving the product, scientists decided to experiment with UHMWPE by incorporating it with carbon fiber in order to, what they believed, would straighten the product. As it would turn out, this would be a completely failed attempt. Again
Major decisions would have to be decided on and resolved throughout the process of designing and implementing the knee. Part of D-Rev’s design ideal revolved around creating a high-end prosthetic knee that could be produced at a lower cost. Previous cheap alternatives for prosthetic joints and limbs greatly traded efficiency for a lower cost. While D-Rev would have aimed to avoid this trade-off between quality and cost, it is likely to remain imbalanced. Of course, the quality could have been lifted to a higher standard, but the cost would have been raised too, thus defeating their purpose of making a quality and cheap product.
Hip implants experienced large cyclic loads during service condition. Pre-clinical analysis must be performed to withstand millions of loading cycles. The fatigue failure of hip implant significantly reduces now a day due to improvements in technology. However, instances of fatigue failure of the hip replacement, resulting in the revision of the patient. Proximal aseptic loosening is the most common cause of stem fracture. ISO 7206-4 fatigue testing of hip implants reproduced this scenario. This test must be applied to avoid fracture of the stem. In order to assess the fatigue reliability of the hip prosthesis, the ISO 7206 international standard has been developed. The ISO 7206 test describes the fatigue test equipment and procedure. It is
