Abstract

Imaging of the musculoskeletal system includes many modalities and is an area that is changing rapidly. Selection of the most accurate techniques and avoidance of duplication are vital to both good patient care and cost containment.

Migration of porous coated acetabular prostheses fixed with screws: roentgen stereophotogrammetric analysis.

The fixation of screw-fixed, porous-coated acetabular prostheses was studied during 2 years in 21 patients (22 hips) using repeated roentgen stereophotogrammetric measurements. Migration of the center of the prostheses and/or tilting were recorded in five cups after 6 months. Two years after operation, migration was recorded in three, migration and rotation in six, and only rotation in three cups. Bone quality, prosthetic position, and immediate postoperative radiographic appearance of the prosthesis-bone interface did not correlate with the occurrence of migration. Narrow radiolucent zones had developed in half of the patients after 2 years and was associated with proximal migration. Micromovements of screw-fixed, press-fit cups seem to start later compared with previously presented results from cemented acetabular prosthesis.

Polygonal triple osteotomy of the pelvis. A correction for dysplastic hip joints.

A new triple osteotomy, polygonal pelvic osteotomy (PPO), is described for use in dysplastic hips. The hip joint must be congruous with a centre-edge (CE) angle between +20 degrees and -10 degrees. Templates are used before and during operation which allow precise correction of the position of the acetabulum. The geometry of the osteotomy and a special compression plate achieve sufficient stability to permit early mobilisation. Surgery is indicated in adolescents and young adults if pain persists for at least two months. The surgical exposure, operative technique and postoperative management are presented, with the two-year results in nine cases.
