Abstract

In elderly patients with osteoarthritis and protrusio who require arthroplasty, dislocation of the hip is difficult due to migration of the femoral head. Traditionally, neck osteotomy is performed in situ, so this is not always achieved. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to describe a partial resection of the posterior wall in severe protrusio. This is a descriptive observational study, which describes the surgical technique of the partial resection of the posterior wall during hip arthroplasty in patients with severe acetabular protrusio operated on between January 2007 and February 2017. In all, 49 hip arthroplasties were performed. The average age of patients was 60 years, and idiopathic was the most frequent aetiology of protrusio. All patients were treated with femoral head autograft and no intra- or postoperative complications were reported. No patients required revision surgery. Partial resection of the posterior wall demonstrated to be a safe surgical technique with 100% survival in a follow-up to ten years in total hip arthroplasty due to severe acetabular protrusio.Cite this article: Bone Joint Open 2020;1-7:431-437.

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.
