The average follow-up was 6.8 years (range: 5 to 12 years). According to the Harris hip score, 52 (98%) of the hips had sustained an excellent or good result with an average score of 92. At the time of final assessment, no patient experienced anterior thigh pain. There were two revisions performed early in the series due to technical failures. Radiographically, osteolysis and bone re-modelling were assessed. Conclusion The findings suggest that the clinical and radiographic results after cementless total hip replacement for primary hip arthroplasty may be favourably influenced by the use of the proximal stress loaded HPS femoral component.展开更多

We report a neglected case of isolated comminuted fracture of femoral head without hip dislocation or subluxation of one year duration in a 36-year-old patient who sustained a high en- ergy trauma due to road traffic accident. He presented with painful right hip and inability to bear full weight on right lower limb with Harris hip score of 39. He received cementless total hip replacement. At latest follow-up of 2.3 years, functional outcome was excellent with Harris hip score of 95. Such isolated injuries have been described only once in the literature and have not been classified till now. The purpose of this report is to highlight the extreme rarity, pos- sible mechanism involved and a novel classification system to classify such injuries.展开更多
