Physical activity behavior after total hip arthroplasty (THA): A prediction based on patient characteristics

Patient Education and Counseling, 2007
To determine to what extent aspects of patient characteristics (age, gender, family status, education and comorbidity) are predictive for the level of physical activity of persons with a total hip arthroplasty (THA).A cross-sectional study including 372 patients.

Discovering knowledge of medical quality in total hip arthroplasty (THA)

Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics, 2012
As the incidence of THA is expected to rise with an aging population and improvements in surgery, a satisfactory outcome in health care can effectively increase medical quality. This paper uses a serious data screening function by THA physician to reduce data dimension after data collected from the NHI database, then 8576 cases are obtained from the ...

Return to sport following Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA): Do we all agree?

Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport, 2013
Background As younger,healthier patients are having THA, a greater emphasis is being placed on postoperative function, activity, and exercise. With recent advances in implant technology and surgical technique, the survival rates for modern prosthetic designs and patients with these high demands are promising.

Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) in Patients with Incomplete Hip Abductor Tears: Does Hip Abductor Repair Improve Outcome?

HIP International, 2014
Introduction Incomplete tears of the hip abductor insertion can coexist with primary hip osteoarthritis. The aim of this investigation was to test the hypotheses that: 1) the outcome of patients undergoing primary THA using a direct anterior approach would be inferior when hip abductor pathology was present; and 2) in the presence of incomplete tears ...

[Ceramic-on-ceramic bearings in total hip arthroplasty (THA)].

Zeitschrift fur Orthopadie und Unfallchirurgie, 2016
The main reason for total hip arthroplasty (THA) revision is the wear-related aseptic loosening. Younger and active patients after total joint replacement create high demands, in particular, on the bearings. The progress, especially for alumina ceramic-on-ceramic bearings and mixed ceramics have solved many problems of the past and lead to good in ...

Automatic femoral ante version angle measurement in revision total hip arthroplasty (tha)

2017 International Conference on Communication and Signal Processing (ICCSP), 2017
Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) using roentgenogram helps to detect and treat the loosening and misalignment of femoral component. Segmentation of the femoral and acetabular components is the most important process in computer aided diagnosis. This paper presents a fully automated loosening detection system for X-ray images.

HIPS - A Surgical Virtual Reality Training System for Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) with Realistic Force Feedback

IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics
Virtual reality training simulations to acquire surgical skills are important for increasing patient safety and save valuable resources, e.g., cadavers, supervision and operating room time. However, as surgery is a craft, simulators must not only provide a high degree of visual realism, but especially a realistic haptic behavior.

[Prognostic significance of hidden blood loss in total hip arthroplasty (THA)].

Zhongguo gu shang = China journal of orthopaedics and traumatology, 2011
To explore the prognostic significance of hidden blood loss in total hip arthroplasty.From May 2008 to July 2009, Harris hip score was used to evaluate the functions of 71 patients undergoing single side total hip arthroplasty (including 47 males and 24 females with a mean age of 68.3 years, ranged from 48 to 75 years).

Factors influencing patient selection of orthopaedic surgeons for total hip (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA)

Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery
The importance of identifying how patients choose their healthcare providers has grown with the prevalence of consumer-centric health insurance plans. There is currently a lack of studies exploring the factors associated with how patients select their hip and knee joint arthroplasty surgeons. The purpose of this study was to determine how patients find
