Presented treatment of ONFH significantly improves hip function, offers pain reduction, and gives similar functional improvement for hips scoring grade II and III on the Ficat and Arlet scale. A good response to operative treatment is seen in patients with alcohol-induced ONFH, but not in those with steroid-induced ONFH.

Background: Residual hip dysplasia is one of the factors contributing to early hip joint osteoarthritis. The main problems caused by residual dysplasia are pain and instability of the hip joint caused by the lack of sufficient bony covering of the femoral head. The aim of this work was to radiologically assess the configuration change of a dysplastic hip joint after surgical treatment using the Bernese periacetabular osteotomy procedure.Methods: We assessed the radiological parameters of patients with hip dysplasia treated by Bernense periacetabular osteotomy by performing a digital antero-posterior pelvis X-ray: central edge angle and femoral head coverage, medialization, distalization and ilio-ischial angle parameters. For normally distributed parameters, we used Student’s t-test; for parameters without a normal distribution, we used the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Correlations were assessed according to a normal distribution using the Pearson and Spearman method.Results: For all parameters, we observed statistically significant differences in the measurements of dysplastic hip joints before and after the surgery. We also observed a statistically significant difference between the structure of dysplastic hip joints prior to the surgery and healthy hip joints from the control group based on all radiological parameters. The resulting medialization was 2.68 mm, distalization was 3.65 mm, and the ilio-ischial angle was changed by 2.62°. There was also an improvement in the femoral head bony covering: CEA by 17.61° and FHC by 16.46%.Conclusions: Based on all the radiological parameters, we presented the difference between healthy and dysplastic hip joints. Learning the parameter values that are used to describe dysplastic hip joints will allow us to improve the imaging of the condition and will also allow for better planning and proper qualification of patients for surgical treatment of hip joint dysplasia.Trial registration: Consent of the bioethics commission Medical Centre of Postgraduate Education 83/PB/2015 18.11.2015 Warsaw

Incorrectly developed acetabulum and subluxated hip joint may cause many problems for proper implantation of endoprosthesis. The aim of this work is to assess the radiological results of offset restoration and selection of endoprosthesis implant in a dysplastic hip joint. The study group consisted of patients who had a surgery in the period between 2016 and 2018. All of them had a cementless total hip endoprosthesis. The group consisted of 91 patients (96 hip joints), with an average age of 42 years (31-47 years). 55 left and 41 right hip joints. 70 females and 21 males. The control group consisted of patients who were not diagnosed with hip joint dysplasia. The control group consisted of 70 patients (70 hip joints), with an average age of 35 years (19-55 years). 53 females and 17 males. The radiographic assessment included the measuring of medialization and distalization which describe the offset of hip joint. The joint decentration was classified according to Crowe. Based on radiographic measurements we have achieved statistically significant (p<0.05) changes in medialization and distaliza- tion parameters. We have not noticed a statistically significant difference for medialization parameter (p=0.8259) after a surgery when compared to the control group. For all patients we have achieved a restoration of correct offset in the horizontal plane. The main idea behind endoprosthesis in a dysplastic coxarthosis is the implantation of endoprosthesis cup in an anatomically correct location. Small screw- in cup and conical stem offer great possibility of restoring correct offset of a dysplastic hip joint.
