Modified Anterolateral Minimally Invasive Surgery (ALMIS) for Total Hip Replacement: Anatomical Considerations, Range of Motion and Clinical Outcomes. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2023; 59:1520. [PMID: 37763639 PMCID: PMC10533114 DOI: 10.3390/medicina59091520] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2023] [Revised: 08/13/2023] [Accepted: 08/22/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: In the modified anterolateral minimally invasive surgery (ALMIS) for total hip arthroplasty (THA), the intermuscular plane between the tensor fasciae latae and the gluteus maximus (GM) is exposed, while the anterior ¼ of the GM is detached. There are scarce data regarding this surgical approach. The purpose of the present study is to thoroughly describe this approach, encompassing the anatomical background, and to present the results of a retrospective two-center study of 603 patients. Materials and Methods: The present study includes a two-center retrospective observational cohort of 603 patients undergoing the ALMIS technique with minimum 5-year follow-up. Demographics were recorded, while range of motion (ROM) of the hip joint and the Harris Hip Score (HHS) were evaluated preoperatively, at 1, 3 and 12 months postoperatively and at the final follow-up (>5 years). Surgery-related complications were also recorded. Results: The studied population's mean age was 69.4 years, while most of them were females (397; 65.8%). The mean follow-up was 6.9 years. The median HHS at the 1-month follow-up was 74, compared to the 47 preoperatively (p-value < 0.0001). At the final follow-up, median HHS was 94. At the 1-month follow-up, mean adduction was 19.9° (compared to 15.4° preoperatively; p < 0.0001), mean abduction 24.3° (18.2° preoperatively; p < 0.0001), mean flexion 107.8° (79.1° preoperatively; p < 0.0001), mean external rotation 20.1° (12.1° preoperatively; p < 0.0001) and mean internal rotation 15.3° (7.2° preoperatively; p < 0.0001). ROM further improved until the final follow-up; mean adduction reached 22°, mean abduction 27.1°, mean flexion 119.8°, mean external rotation 24.4° and mean internal rotation 19.7°. Regarding complications, 1.3% of the sample suffered anterior traumatic dislocation, in 1.8% an intraoperative femoral fracture occurred, while 1.2% suffered periprosthetic joint infection. Conclusions: The modified ALMIS technique exhibited excellent clinical outcomes at short-, mid- and long-term follow-up, by significantly improving hip ROM and the HHS. Careful utilization of this technique, after adequate training, should yield favorable outcomes, while minimal major complications should be expected.

MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2023; 59:medicina59030607. [PMID: 36984608 PMCID: PMC10058963 DOI: 10.3390/medicina59030607] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2023] [Revised: 03/08/2023] [Accepted: 03/17/2023] [Indexed: 03/30/2023]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: The uncemented threaded DELTA ST-C cup was introduced in last few years. It has a hemispheric shell, consisting of Ti6Al4V titanium alloy. The MINIMA S stem was developed according to the principles of proximal-loading and extended metaphyseal geometry applied to a short stem. The purpose of the study was to assess the clinical and radiographic outcomes and the short- and mid-term survivorship of the DELTA ST-C cup and MINIMA S stem in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA). The present is the first study to report outcomes and implant survivorship of the DELTA ST-C cup coupled with the MINIMA S femoral stem. Materials and Methods: The present study is a retrospective observational cohort study of a prospectively maintained database, evaluating clinical outcomes and implant survivorship in 95 patients undergoing THA with the MINIMA stem coupled with the DELTA ST-C cup with at least a 3-year follow-up. The clinical evaluation was assessed with a change in the Harris hip score (HHS), while the radiographic evaluation included anteroposterior views of the pelvis and lateral views of the affected hip. Results: The enrolled population's mean age was 69.3 years and most patients were female (64%). The MINIMA S standard stem was implanted in 68 patients (72%), the lateralized stem was implanted in 27 (28%), and the mean acetabular inclination was 48.2°. The HHS improved significantly from the preoperative value (median 46, IQR: 38-55), already at 1 month after surgery (median 76, IQR: 66-77), reaching excellent results at 1 year and 3 years postoperatively (median 96, IQR: 91-100). X-rays demonstrated good implant stability and biomechanics parameter restorations revealed no sign of subsidence, and the presence of radiolucent lines greater than 2 mm in the short stem area in five cases and in the acetabulum in one were not clinically significant. No revisions have been performed so far. Conclusions: The MINIMA S stem coupled with the DELTA ST-C cup demonstrated very good clinical and radiological results with a significant increase of the Harris hip score at short- and mid-term follow-up. This is the first study evaluating the DELTA ST-C cup, showing promising outcomes during the study's follow-up. The MINIMA S stem has been evaluated in a very few studies. However, the combination with this particular cup had not yet been studied. The design of the stem and the cup ensures primary stability and excellent early term outcomes, moreover the study demonstrates extraordinary implant survivorship, equal to 100%.

Meta-analysis of the Efficacy of the Anatomical Center and High Hip Center Techniques in the Treatment of Adult Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 2022:7256664. [PMID: 36082152 PMCID: PMC9448599 DOI: 10.1155/2022/7256664] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2022] [Accepted: 08/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Background. In total hip arthroplasty for the treatment of adult developmental dysplasia of the hip, there is considerable controversy regarding the placement of the acetabular cup, anatomic center, and upward in acetabular reconstruction. This article explores the efficacy of the anatomical center technique and high hip center technique in the treatment of adult developmental dysplasia of the hip. Method. By searching for articles in the Cochrane Library, PubMed, CNKI, and Wanfang databases, we collected the literature on the treatment of adult developmental dysplasia of the hip by anatomical center and high hip center technology and screened the literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The Cochrane risk of bias assessment tool was used to assess the risk of bias of randomized controlled trials, the quality of the literature in retrospective cohort studies was assessed using the Newcastle–Ottawa scale, and the RevMan 5.4 software was used to analyze the extracted outcome indicators. Results. Nine studies were finally included, including one prospective cohort study, eight retrospective cohort studies, two high-quality studies, and six moderate-quality studies. The meta-analysis results showed that the reconstruction of the acetabulum in two positions was significantly different in terms of operation time (
, 95% CI: -45.25-28.74,
), intraoperative blood loss (
, 95% CI: -108.57-75.19,
), postoperative drainage volume (
, 95% CI: -140.56-301.66,
), time to ground (
, 95% CI: -1.37-0.0,
), Harris score (
, 95% CI: -0.91-0.82,
), lower limb length difference (
, 95% CI: -0.22-0.64,
), WOMAC score (
, 95% CI: -4.89-2.41,
), postoperative complications (
, 95% CI: -0.06-0.02,
), Trendelenburg sign (
, 95% CI: -0.02-0.05,
), limb lengthening (
, 95% CI: 0.61-1.09,
), prosthesis wear (
, 95% CI: 0-0.02,
), and prosthesis loosening (
, 95% CI: -0.02-0.04,
). Conclusions. The high hip center technique can reduce operative time, intraoperative blood loss, and downtime. The anatomical center technique is superior to the high hip center technique in terms of limb lengthening. Compared with acetabular anatomical reconstruction, there was no significant difference in postoperative drainage, lower limb length difference, postoperative complications, Trendelenburg sign, and prosthesis survival or wear. For DDH patients who are not severely shortened in the lower limbs and have severe acetabular bone defects, joint surgeons can choose to reconstruct the acetabulum in the upper part to simplify the operation, reduce the trauma of the patient, and accelerate the recovery of the patient, and they can choose to adjust the length of the neck and the angle of the neck shaft to maintain the moment arm of the abductor muscle. A ceramic interface or a highly cross-linked polyethylene interface minimizes the effect of hip response forces. To further evaluate the efficacy of the anatomical center technique and the high hip center technique in the treatment of adult developmental dysplasia of the hip, more large-sample, high-quality, long-term follow-up randomized controlled trials are still needed for verification.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is limited information about the effect of hip center location on gait parameters of knee and ankle. This study aimed to compare anatomical vs. high hip center arthroplasty according to gait parameters of knee and ankle and investigate whether the high hip center has any adverse effect on these joints or not. METHODS 20 patients who underwent unilateral total hip arthroplasty (Group 1; 10 patients with anatomical reconstruction, Group 2; 10 patients with high hip center) due to Crowe type III-IV developmental dysplasia of the hip and completed 2 years of follow-up were included. The patients were examined by 3-D gait analysis. FINDINGS The maximum extension of the knee on the operated side was lower in Group 2 (p = 0.044). Longitudinal knee joint force was higher in Group 2 on both operated (p = 0.041) and non-operated sides (p = 0.031). Lateral knee joint force was also higher in Group 2 (p = 0.023). No significant difference was detected in ankle parameters. INTERPRETATION Unilateral high hip center has been shown to restrict the dynamic knee range of motion on the operated side and increase the knee load on both sides, thus putting the knees at risk for osteoarthritis.

Does Cup Position at the High Hip Center or Anatomic Hip Center in THA for Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip Result in Better Harris Hip Scores and Revision Incidence? A Systematic Review. Clin Orthop Relat Res 2021; 479:1119-1130. [PMID: 33539054 PMCID: PMC8051996 DOI: 10.1097/corr.0000000000001618] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2020] [Accepted: 12/03/2020] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND One goal of THA is to restore the anatomic hip center, which can be achieved in hips with developmental dysplasia by placing cups at the level of the native acetabulum. However, this might require adjuvant procedures such as femoral shortening osteotomy. Another option is to place the cup at the high hip center, potentially reducing surgical complexity. Currently, no clear consensus exists regarding which of these cup positions might offer better functional outcomes or long-term survival. QUESTION/PURPOSE We performed a systematic review to determine whether (1) functional outcomes as measured by the Harris hip score, (2) revision incidence, and (3) complications that do not result in revision differ based on the position of the acetabular cup (high hip center versus anatomic hip center) in patients undergoing THA for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). METHODS We performed a systematic review using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines, including studies comparing the functional outcomes, revision incidence, and complications of primary THA in dysplastic hips with acetabular cups placed at the high hip center versus those placed at the anatomic hip center, over any time frame. The review protocol was registered with PROSPERO (registration number CRD42020168183) before commencement. Of 238 records, eight comparative, retrospective nonrandomized studies of interventions were eligible for our systematic review, reporting on 207 hips with cups placed at the high hip center and 268 hips with cups at the anatomic hip center. Risk of bias within eligible studies was assessed using the Risk Of Bias In Non-randomized Studies of Interventions tool. Due to low comparability between studies, data could not be pooled, so these studies were assessed without summary effects. RESULTS Six studies compared Harris hip scores, two of which favored high hip center cup placement and three of which favored anatomic hip center cup placement, although none of the differences between cohorts met the minimum clinically important difference. Five studies reliably compared revision incidence, which ranged from 2% to 9% for high hip center at 7 to 15 years and 0% to 5.9% for anatomic hip center at 6 to 16 years. Five studies reported intra- and postoperative complications, with the high hip center being associated with higher incidence of dislocation and lower incidence of neurological complications. No clear difference was observed in intraoperative complications between the high hip center and anatomic hip center. CONCLUSION No obvious differences could be observed in Harris hip score or revision incidence after THA for osteoarthritis secondary to DDH between cups placed at the anatomic hip center and those placed at the high hip center. Placement of the acetabular cup in the high hip center may lead to higher risk of dislocation but lower risk of neurologic complications, although no difference in intraoperative complications was observed. Surgeons should be able to achieve satisfactory functional scores and revision incidence using either technique, although they should be aware of how their choice influences hip biomechanics and the need for adjunct procedures and associated risks and operative time. These recommendations should be considered with respect to the several limitations in the studies reviewed, including the presence of serious confounding factors and selection biases, inconsistent definitions of the high hip center, variations in dysplasia severity, small sample sizes, and follow-up periods. These weaknesses should be addressed in well-designed future studies. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, therapeutic study.

Abstract
Aims Complex total hip arthroplasty (THA) with subtrochanteric shortening osteotomy is necessary in conditions other than developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) and septic arthritis sequelae with significant proximal femur migration. Our aim was to evaluate the hip centre restoration with THAs in these hips. Methods In all, 27 THAs in 25 patients requiring THA with femoral shortening between 2012 and 2019 were assessed. Bilateral shortening was required in two patients. Subtrochanteric shortening was required in 14 out of 27 hips (51.9%) with aetiology other than DDH or septic arthritis. Vertical centre of rotation (VCOR), horizontal centre of rotation, offset, and functional outcome was calculated. The mean followup was 24.4 months (5 to 92 months). Results The mean VCOR was 17.43 mm (9.5 to 27 mm) and horizontal centre of rotation (HCOR) was 24.79 mm (17.2 to 37.6 mm). Dislocation at three months following acetabulum reconstruction required femoral shortening for offset correction and hip centre restoration in one hip. Mean horizontal offset was 39.72 (32.7 to 48.2 mm) compared to 42.89 (26.7 to 50.6 mm) on the normal side. Mean Harris Hip Score (HHS) of 22.64 (14 to 35) improved to 79.43 (68 to 92). Mean pre-operative shortening was 3.95 cm (2 to 8 cm). Residual limb length discrepancy was 1.5 cm (0 to 2 cm). Sciatic neuropraxia in two patients recovered by six months, and femoral neuropraxia in one hip recovered by 12 months. Mean Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) was 13.92 (9 to 19). Mean 12-item short form survey (SF-12) physical scores of 50.6 and mental of 60.12 were obtained. Conclusion THA with subtrochanteric shortening is valuable in complex hips with high dislocation. The restoration of the hip centre of rotation and offset is important in these hips.

Bilateral High Hip Center Provides Gait Parameters Similar to Anatomical Reconstruction: A Gait Analysis Study in Hip Replacement Patients With Bilateral Developmental Dysplasia. J Arthroplasty 2019; 34:3099-3105. [PMID: 31353253 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2019.06.063] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2019] [Revised: 06/05/2019] [Accepted: 06/28/2019] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Total hip arthroplasty in severe dysplasia is challenging due to diminished periacetabular bone stock and the highly placed femoral head. Although anatomical reconstruction of the hip, with required interventions such as subtrochanteric osteotomy and graft usage, is the main aim of the procedure, good long-term clinical outcomes of the high hip center technique have also been reported. Information regarding the effect of hip center placement on gait characteristics is limited; therefore, the aim of this study is to analyze the differences in gait parameters between the high hip center technique and anatomical reconstruction of the hip. METHODS Twenty patients (40 hips) with bilateral Crowe type III-IV developmental dysplasia of the hip who underwent bilateral total hip arthroplasty and completed at least 2 years of follow-up were included. Group 1 comprised 10 patients (20 hips) who underwent anatomical hip center reconstruction, while group 2 comprised 10 patients (20 hips) who underwent high hip center reconstruction. The gait characteristics of patients were examined through markers placed in certain anatomical regions, the cameras placed around, and the force plates embedded in the walking platform. RESULTS There was no significant difference in the gait characteristics according to the location of the hip rotation center. The mean temporospatial, kinematic, and kinetic values were similar between the groups. The most prominent difference was in the peak dynamic hip extension, which was lower in group 2 (-9.71° ± 7.46°) compared to group 1 (-6.80° ± 11.44°), although it was not statistically significant (P = .09). CONCLUSION The bilateral high hip center technique can provide similar gait characteristics as anatomical reconstruction and may be preferred in particularly difficult cases based on the surgeon's decision.

High Hip Center Reduces the Dynamic Hip Range of Motion and Increases the Hip Load: A Gait Analysis Study in Hip Arthroplasty Patients With Unilateral Developmental Dysplasia. J Arthroplasty 2019; 34:1267-1272.e1. [PMID: 30857951 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2019.02.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2019] [Revised: 02/04/2019] [Accepted: 02/12/2019] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Long-term favorable clinical outcomes of anatomical or high hip center techniques in total hip arthroplasty (THA) are reported in patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). However, there is little information about the effect of the hip center location on gait characteristics. The purpose of this study was to compare these surgical techniques with gait analysis, analyze the effect of the hip rotation center location on gait parameters, and discuss the possible problems that may arise. METHODS A total of 40 patients who underwent THA due to unilateral coxarthrosis secondary to Crowe type III-IV DDH and completed 5 years of follow-up were included in the study. Group 1 included 20 patients who underwent anatomical hip center reconstruction, while group 2 included 20 patients who underwent high hip center reconstruction. Gait analysis was performed, and the groups were compared according to the gait characteristics. RESULTS The mean temporospatial values were similar between the groups. The extension of the operated side was significantly lower in group 2 (-9.11 ± 8.92) than in group 1 (-1.87 ± 11.51) (P = .04). The mean longitudinal hip joint force was found to be significantly higher in group 2 (8.92 N/kg ± 0.54) than in group 1 (8.16 N/kg ± 0.66) (P = .04). The high hip center technique has been shown to increase the load on the hip and restrict the dynamic range of motion. CONCLUSION The high hip center technique can decrease the survival of the implant and increase the fall risk as it increases the load on the hip and reduces the dynamic range of motion. The hip center should be reconstructed anatomically when possible in DDH patients who undergo unilateral THA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We evaluated acetabular cup coverage (CC) and rim contact (RC) to evaluate the bone stock above the acetabulum for guiding acetabular component placement using the high hip center technique in patients with Crowe type III developmental dysplasia of the hip. METHODS Using hip computed tomography and image processing software, pelvises were reconstructed digitally in 20 hips with Crowe type III developmental dysplasia of the hip. Mimicked cup was placed with anteversion angles of 0° (group I), 5° (group II), and 10° (group III) respectively. In each group, the cup was placed at the anatomical hip center at first, and then the cup was moved up to 40 mm vertically about the native rotation center with an increment of 2.5 mm at each step. CC and RC were calculated and documented with each movement. RESULTS CC was 65.87%, 67.77%, and 68.98% for group I, group II, and group III at the native rotation center, and increased progressively to 86.45%, 85.85%, and 84.71% at 25 mm above. RC was 49.17%, 50.25%, and 51.92% for group I, group II, and group III at the native rotation center, and increased progressively to 86.87%, 86.39%, and 84.94% at 22.5 mm above. CC and RC were positively correlated, despite the different anteversion angles (r = 0.687 at 0°, 0.683 at 5°, and 0.645 at 10°; P < .001). CONCLUSION Computed tomography analysis and computer stimulation demonstrate that it is feasible to use high hip center technique in Crowe type III hips.

Abstract
Comprehensive gait analysis of patients with Crowe type II and III developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) after successful total hip arthroplasty (THA) is lacking in the literature. This study evaluated gait function in joint kinematics after unilateral and bilateral THA in patients with DDH. In addition, the effect of high cup position on gait function was investigated. A total of 16 unilateral and 15 bilateral cementless THA patients due to DDH and 10 healthy participants comprised the study population. Levels of superior displacement of the acetabular cup and leg-length discrepancy after THA were measured. Three-dimensional gait analysis for patients who underwent THA was performed at least 1 year postoperatively. Range of motion (ROM), particularly sagittal (flexion/extension) and frontal (adduction/abduction) hip joint ROM, was significantly lower in both the unilateral and bilateral groups than in healthy participants. Sagittal (flexion/extension) hip ROM in patients with DDH was greater in the unilateral group than in the bilateral group. A significant influence of high acetabular cup position on hip joint kinematics was not observed in the unilateral subgroups (mean level of cup superior displacement was 11.8 mm). In contrast, a significant influence of high acetabular cup position on hip joint kinematics was observed in the bilateral subgroups (mean level of cup superior displacement was 21.3 mm). The functional symmetry and cup superior displacement within 12 mm in patients with DDH after unilateral THA contributed to the restoration of normal hip biomechanics.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Total hip replacement in patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a difficult technical procedure for surgeons to perform because of the potential for these patients to have severe anomalies in their bones and soft tissues. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed acetabuloplasty in 54 hips from 44 patients by reaming the posterior wall of the native acetabulum and medialising the acetabular component to restore the anatomic centre of hip rotation using a small cup without bone grafting. Median time to post-surgery follow-up was 5 (range 2-14) years. RESULTS Prosthetic survival rates in patients after 2 and 5 years post hip replacement were 93% (50/54) and 89% (48/54), respectively. 4 patients required early revision because of malposition and instability of the acetabular cup. 3 patients with Crowe type IV dislocations had transient sciatic nerve palsy and 3 had deep vein thrombosis. CONCLUSIONS Placement of the acetabular shell using posterior bone stock to provide normal hip rotation is a successful alternative technique for acetabuloplasty in patients with DDH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acetabular reconstruction in adults with Hartofilakidis type B developmental dysplasia of the hip is a major technical challenge. The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate hip function and radiographic outcomes regarding high hip center at midterm follow-up. METHODS From January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2009, 37 patients who had Hartofilakidis type B developmental dysplasia of the hip underwent a primary total hip arthroplasty using a high hip center technique. Functional, radiographic, and survivorship outcomes were evaluated. RESULTS Of the 37 patients, 31 patients (83.8%) were available for the mean follow-up of 6.1 years (range, 1.5-7.6 years). Thirty-one cementless cups were located at an average vertical distance of 38.1 ± 3.3 mm and at a mean horizontal distance of 35.5 ± 3.4 mm. The mean ratio of the height of the hip center was 2.4% (range, 2.0%-2.9%). The Harris Hip Scores were improved from 50.3 points (range, 38-63 points) preoperatively to 92.3 points (range, 85-100 points) at the final follow-up (P < .001). Four patients continued to present with Trendelenburg gait pattern at the last follow-up. With use of revision for any reason and aseptic loosening as the end point, the 5-year survival rates were 90.3% (95% CI, 79.9%-100%) and 93.3% (95% CI, 84.3%-100%), respectively. CONCLUSIONS The high hip center technique in conjunction with a cementless acetabular component seems to be a valuable alternative to achieve satisfactory midterm outcomes for Hartofilakidis type B developmental dysplasia of the hip.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many clinical studies have been published involving the use of a high hip center (HHC), achieved good follow-up. However, there is a little anatomic guidance in the literature regarding the amount of bone stock available for initial implant coverage in this area of the ilium. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the thickness and width of the human ilium and related acetabular cup coverage for guiding acetabular component placement in HHC. METHODS A total of 120 normal hips in 60 cases of adult patients from lower extremities computer tomographic angiography Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine data were chosen for the study. After importing the data to the mimics software, we chose the cross sections every 5-mm increments from the rotational center of the hip to the cephalic of the ilium according the body sagittal axis, then we measured the thickness and width of the ilium for each cross section in axial plane, calculated the cup coverage at each chosen section. RESULTS At the acetabular dome, the mean thickness and width of the ilium were 49.71 ± 4.88 mm and 38.92 ± 3.67 mm, respectively, whereas at 1 cm above the dome, decreased to 41.35 ± 5.13 and 31.13 ± 3.37 respectively, and 2 cm above the dome, decreased to 31.25 ± 4.04 and 26.65 ± 3.43, respectively. Acetabular cup averaged coverage for 40-, 50-, and 60-mm hemispheric shells, was 100%, 89%, and 44% at the acetabular dome, 100%, 43.7%, and 27.5% for 1 cm above the dome, and 37.5%, 21.9%, and 14.2% for 2 cm above the dome. CONCLUSIONS HHC reconstructions within 1 cm above the acetabular dome will be an acceptable and smaller diameter prosthesis would be better.

Abstract
High hip center reconstruction has been advocated in treating deficient acetabulum. However, there is no consensus on the clinical outcome of this technique. In addition, it remains unclear to what extend this technique restores the normal hip biomechanics. The goal of this study was to investigate stress above the acetabular dome in response to a range of high hip center positioning for Crowe type I and II hip dysplasia. This study consisted of 2 main parts, radiologic and biomechanical. Pelvic radiographs of 18 patients were studied to determine the amount of displacement of the hip center in the superior direction compared with the normal side. Second, qualitative and quantitative changes in stress on cortical and trabecular bone in the region of the acetabular dome as a result of superior displacement of the hip center were analyzed with subject-specific finite element models. The results showed that the range of the hip center position in the superior direction for Crowe type I and II hip dysplasia was 0 to 15 mm above the contralateral femoral head center. When superior displacement of the hip center exceeded 5 mm above the anatomic hip center, cortical bone mass on the 2 thickest cross-sections above the acetabular dome decreased quickly and the stress value on posterolateral cortical bone was obviously lower than the normal level. This study showed that to restore the normal load above the acetabular dome, there is a limit of 5 mm above the anatomic hip center for high hip center acetabular reconstruction for Crowe type I and II hip dysplasia.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There is controversy about which is more suitable for determining correct socket position in patients with severe bone deficiency of the acetabular roof because of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH): the anatomic centre of hip rotation or a high centre.
METHOD We evaluated the relationship, in 200 hips, between the centre of rotation and presence of the Trendelenburg sign to determine the upper limit of cup position from the standpoint of hip-abductor strength.
RESULTS Of the 200 hips, 20 (10%) showed a positive Trendelenburg sign. There were no statistically significant differences between parameters (the centre of rotation, femoral offset, abductor lever arm) regarding the presence of the Trendelenburg sign except for age at surgery. Patients with a positive Trendelenburg sign were significantly older (64.1 ± 9.4 years) than those with a negative Trendelenburg sign (58.8 ± 7.7 years) (P = 0.01).
CONCLUSIONS Our findings indicate that a high centre of hip rotation of up to approximately 30 mm from the inter-teardrop line is a feasible option for patients with DDH from the standpoint of hip-abductor strength if stems are used that allow the restoration of femoral offset and the abductor lever arm.

Abstract
We report the results at a mean of 24.3 years (20 to 32) of 61 previously reported consecutive total hip replacements carried out on 44 patients with severe congenital hip disease, performed with reconstruction of the acetabulum with an impaction grafting technique known as cotyloplasty. The mean age of the patients at operation was 46.7 years (23 to 68) and all were women. The patients were followed post-operatively for a mean of 24.3 years (20 to 32), using the Merle d'Aubigné and Postel scoring system as modified by Charnley, and with serial radiographs. At the time of the latest follow-up, 28 acetabular components had been revised because of aseptic loosening at a mean of 15.9 years (6 to 26), and one at 40 days after surgery because of repeated dislocations. The overall survival rate for aseptic failure of the acetabular component at ten years was 93.1% (95% confidence interval (CI) 86.5 to 96.7) when 53 hips were at risk, and at 23 years was 56.1% (95% CI 49.4 to 62.8), when 22 hips remained at risk. These long-term results are considered satisfactory for the reconstruction of an acetabulum presenting with inadequate bone stock and circumferential segmental defects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High hip center reconstructions, used in revision and complex primary THAs, rely on pelvic bone stock at least 35 mm above the anatomic teardrop. However, the technique does not restore normal hip biomechanics and controversy exists regarding acetabular implant survival. Previous reports document a wide range of implant positioning above the teardrop. There is no anatomic guidance in the literature regarding the amount of bone stock available for initial implant stability in this area of the ilium. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We therefore determined the thickness of the human ilium and related it to acetabulum cup coverage in high hip center reconstructions. METHODS We sectioned 16 cadaveric hips from the anterior superior iliac spine to the anatomic teardrop in 5-mm increments, then measured the thickness of the ilium for each cross section. RESULTS The maximum thickness of 42 ± 9 mm occurred at the dome of the acetabulum 35 ± 3 mm above the teardrop. At a distance of 1 cm above the dome, the ilium was reduced by 24%, to 32 ± 6 mm. At 2 cm above the dome, the ilium thickness was 22 ± 4 mm, a 48% reduction from its maximum. CONCLUSION There are substantial anatomic limitations to high hip reconstructions 2 cm above the acetabular dome.
