Evolution of Mould Arthroplasty of the Hip Joint

Abstract

I am particularly happy because this invitation implies recognition of the specialty of orthopaedic surgery. I am very grateful that you have chosen me as a representative of my specialty to give this lecture. Arthroplasty is an operative procedure undertaken for the purpose of creating a joint.

Does Surgical Approach Affect Patient-reported Function After Primary THA?

“…Although posterior approaches historically have been associated with higher dislocation rates [17,23,27], these appear to be improved with enhanced closure techniques [5,15,17,23]. The direct-anterior Hueter approach [32] is a modification of the traditional Smith-Petersen approach [18,44] in the interval between the rectus femoris and tensor fascia lata muscles and often uses a specialized table to allow for intraoperative anterior exposure and positioning of the hip [28,29]. Numerous authors have reported low dislocation rates and rapid early functional recovery [1,29,31,33,36,40,46] with this approach.…”

Autogenous Transplantation of Apophyseal Cartilage to Osteochondral Defects of Joints: An Experimental Study in Dogs

“…The formation of fibrous or hyaline cartilage in arthroplasties where skin (Kettunen 1958) or vitallium cups (Smith-Petersen 1948, 1952, Gibson & Williams 1951, Jakobsen 1957) have been applied as interposition materials has also been attributed to the factors of pressure and friction.…”

A Prospective Study Comparing The Functional Outcome, Radiological Outcome and Gait Analysis between Lateral Surgical Approach and Posterior Surgical Approach in The Total Hip Replacement

“…Mould arthroplasty was first introduced in 1925 by Dr.Marius N Smith-Petersen [4,5] from Boston. He was used reactive synovial like membrane that he found in a piece of glass in the workman"s backyard.…”
