Propensity for hip dislocation in gait loading versus sit-to-stand maneuvers: implications for redefining the dome of the acetabulum needed for stability of the hip during activities of daily living

Abstract

Current recommendations relating to the treatment of acetabular fractures are based on studies that evaluate the loading patterns associated with normal gait despite the fact that the forces on the acetabulum are significantly greater during sit-to-stand activities. We hypothesize that this increased force will lead to greater instability when an acetabular fracture occurs, and our goal was to compare cadaveric hip stability during single-leg-stance (SLS) and sit-to-stand (STS) maneuvers using a transverse acetabular fracture model. Seven fresh-frozen cadaveric hemipelvic specimens with proximal femurs were dissected of all soft tissues. Transverse acetabular osteotomies were created in 5-mm increments from distal to proximal. The roof arc angle and decrease of articular surface area were measured after each osteotomy, and the specimens were tested in SLS and STS. A 1200-N load was applied and visible dislocation was recorded for each loading orientation. The average roof arc angle needed to dislocate in the SLS position was 46.1° in the anteroposterior, 71.9° in the iliac oblique, and 25.2° in the obturator oblique views compared with 90.9° in anteroposterior, 101.4° in iliac oblique, and 67.3° in obturator oblique views for t...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
