Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We kindly invite you to contribute to JCM’s Special Issue on “Hip Diseases: From Joint Preservation to Hip Arthroplasty Revision”. Hip surgery covers a broad and evolving field, from hip preservation and pediatric orthopedics to primary total hip replacement, complex revision surgery, and periprosthetic joint infections. The surge in research is driving remarkable progress in innovative therapies, cutting-edge surgical techniques, advanced technologies, and personalized treatment approaches.

This Special Issue seeks to highlight the latest advancements in hip surgery, including state-of-the-art techniques and emerging treatments across a wide range of hip-related conditions. To capture the diverse landscape of this field, our goal is to present an overview of the most pressing topics in hip surgery research, from clinical innovations to novel approaches in personalized care, supported by both experimental and clinical data.

This Special Issue’s scope includes the following:

- Hip preservation surgery;

- Primary total hip arthroplasty;

- Complex THA revisions.

We highly encourage authors to submit research articles, meta-analyses, and literature reviews on these topics. Your insights will be vital in guiding and redefining the future of hip surgery, and we look forward to your contributions.

Prof. Dr. Christoph Böhler
Guest Editor

Background/Objectives: The Chiari pelvic osteotomy (CPO) creates a bony roof by medialization of the acetabulum, thus improving the biomechanics of dysplastic hip joints. Long-term results have already been examined in various studies. However, the impact on the axis of the lower limb has not been investigated yet. The aim of this study was the analysis of changes in the alignment of the lower limb and leg length caused by a CPO and, consecutively, the impact on conversion total hip arthroplasty and primary knee arthroplasty. Methods: A total of 85 patients with 111 CPOs were clinically examined, patient reported outcome measures collected, and long leg standing radiographs analysed according to Paley. Results: The patients were examined an average of 34 years (±7.8; 23–53) after CPO. Unilaterally operated patients (N = 59 hips) showed a pathological MAD in 71% (N = 42) on the operated side (90% valgus, 10% varus). On the unaffected side, we could identify 56% (N = 33 hips) pathological cases (70% valgus, 30% varus). When patients underwent CPO bilaterally (N = 52 hips), the MAD was abnormal in 34 operated hips (65%; 97% valgus, 3% varus). If a leg length discrepancy occurred after the operation, the pelvis and the femur contributed the most to the total leg length discrepancy. Conclusions: Shifts in the mechanical axis following a CPO must be considered in order to inform patients appropriately preoperatively and quantified postoperatively by performing long leg standing radiographs in order to plan following joint replacement therapy adequately and maximize the chance of a successful long-term outcome on a functional level as well as for the patient’s satisfaction.

Background/Objectives: Recurrent hip dislocations are a rare occurrence in pediatric patients. As there are few cases of voluntary habitual dislocation documented in the literature, there is a paucity of information available regarding its pathogenesis, risk factors, and classification. The prognosis for these patients is generally good. A long-term follow-up duration of two years was conducted to evaluate outcomes. Statistical analysis was performed to assess the impact of family structure and treatment approaches on outcomes. Methods: From January 2010 to December 2022, patients with voluntary habitual hip dislocation were retrospectively identified through the hospital information system. Data regarding demographic characteristics, clinical findings, and treatment outcomes were analyzed. A total of 13 patients (14 hips) met the inclusion criteria. Conservative treatment methods, including orthosis and family therapy, were applied. Statistical analysis was performed to assess the impact of family structure and treatment approaches on outcomes. Results: The mean age at diagnosis was 48.7 months, with 77% of cases being female. Posterior dislocation was observed in all cases, and no underlying bone pathology was detected on imaging. The prognosis for these patients is generally good. At the one-year follow-up, 85% of patients achieved a complete resolution of dislocations, increasing to 100% by the two-year follow-up. Patients from larger families demonstrated significantly slower recovery rates at the first- and sixth-month evaluations (p = 0.033 and p = 0.048, respectively), but outcomes were comparable by one year. A unique aspect of this study is the emphasis on family dynamics, which significantly influenced treatment adherence and recovery. Statistical analysis was performed to assess the impact of family structure and treatment approaches on outcomes. Conclusions: Voluntary habitual hip dislocation is a rare condition with good long-term outcomes under conservative management. This study highlights the importance of addressing family dynamics in the treatment plan, especially in larger families, where attention and psychological factors may play a significant role in delayed recovery.

Background/Objectives: This study explores the long-term clinical outcomes of antibiotic-impregnated calcium hydroxyapatite (CHA) as an antibiotic delivery system in treating periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) following total hip arthroplasty (THA). Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 12 patients (13 hips) who were treated with antibiotic-impregnated CHA for PJI after THA and followed for more than 10 years at our institution between 1999 and 2011. The study group comprised six men (seven hips) and six women, with a mean age of 61.4 years. Results: The mean follow-up duration was 13.8 years. After irrigation and debridement with modular component exchange, seven hips in six patients underwent revision surgery; however, PJI relapsed in two hips of two patients with a history of diabetes. Two-stage revision surgery was performed on the two relapsed hips and six scheduled hips with antibiotic-impregnated CHA used to treat all cases of PJI. Infection control (100% rate) was achieved in all joints, and revision surgeries were completed. Two patients died 12 years after the initial procedure, and one died 14 years after the first procedure due to unrelated internal diseases; no infection recurrence was observed. No complications related to antibiotic-impregnated CHA were observed. Conclusions: Our results indicate that antibiotic-impregnated CHA is associated with high success rates in treating PJI after THA, even in cases with advanced disease, and yields satisfactory functional outcomes postoperatively.
