Several factors have been implicated in unsatisfactory results after total hip replacement (THR). We examined whether femoral offset, as measured on digitised post-operative radiographs, was associated with pain after THR. The routine post-operative radiographs of 362 patients (230 women and 132 men, mean age 70.0 years (35.2 to 90.5)) who received primary unilateral THRs of varying designs were measured after calibration. The femoral offset was calculated using the known dimensions of the implants to control for femoral rotation. Femoral offset was categorised into three groups: normal offset (within 5 mm of the height-adjusted femoral offset), low offset and high offset. We determined the associations to the absolute final score and the improvement in the mean Western Ontario and McMaster Universities osteoarthritis index (WOMAC) pain subscale scores at three, six, 12 and 24 months, adjusting for confounding variables. The amount of femoral offset was associated with the mean WOMAC pain subscale score at all points of follow-up, with the low-offset group reporting less WOMAC pain than the normal or high-offset groups (six months: 7.01 (sd 11.69) vs 12.26 (sd 15.10) vs 13.10 (sd 16.20), p = 0.006; 12 months: 6.55 (sd 11.09) vs 9.73 (sd 13.76) vs 13.46 (sd 18.39), p = 0.010; 24 months: 5.84 (sd 10.23) vs 9.60 (sd 14.43) vs 13.12 (sd 17.43), p = 0.004). When adjusting for confounding variables, including age and gender, the greatest improvement was seen in the low-offset group, with the normal-offset group demonstrating more improvement than the high-offset group.
Objetivo: Analisar, por meio de uma revisão narrativa, o impacto do uso da Terapia hormonal (TH) na qualidade de vida de mulheres no climatério e como fator de risco para o desenvolvimento do câncer de mama, bem como discutir as opções terapêuticas existentes, levando em consideração a melhoria na qualidade de vida das pacientes. Revisão Bibliográfica: A menopausa caracteriza o fim do período reprodutivo da mulher, com diminuição da atividade folicular ovariana. Esse período é marcado por instabilidades hormonais e sintomatologia marcante que faz com que muitas mulheres procurem a TH como forma de tratamento. Entretanto, a TH pode acometer o tecido mamário e resultar em uma neoplasia, a depender da formulação e do tempo de uso, além de possíveis fatores de risco para câncer de mama. Considerações finais: Conclui-se que a terapia hormonal está associada ao aumento do risco de desenvolvimento do câncer de mama, sendo esse risco atribuído, principalmente, aos progestagênios medroxiprogesterona, noretisterona e levonorgestrel. A descontinuação do uso destes tende a diminuir os riscos e, de uma forma geral, a sua administração não é recomendada por período superior a cinco anos.
