Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,
Background and history of this topic:

Hip surgery is a growing field of research. New techniques have recently been developed and they offer some advantages over old techniques.

Aim and scope of the Special Issue:

The scope of this Special Issue is to publish new research on surgical techniques related on hip surgery, mainly focused on early results, the risks associated with them, recovery, and long term results.

Cutting-edge research:

New techniques on hip fracture and non-unions, new surgical approaches to hip arthoplasty, new techniques on revision hip arthoplasty, and new approaches to indications for hip arthroscopy comprise topics of interest.

What kind of papers we are soliciting:
We are looking for articles based on new techniques in hip surgery, related to fractures, arthroplasty, or arthroscopy

Background and Objectives: To characterize the epidemiological profile of patients undergoing revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) using bone allografts from a tissue bank, and to identify clinical and surgical factors associated with the selection of graft type in cases of severe periprosthetic bone loss. Materials and Methods: This observational, cross-sectional study involved a retrospective review of medical records from a specialized referral center, including revision THA procedures performed between 2013 and 2019. Data were collected on 36 variables covering demographic details (age, sex), surgical history of both hips, comorbidities, medication use, perioperative complications, hospitalization, surgical technique, and characteristics of the bone grafts used. Patients were grouped based on the type of allograft received—structured or morselized (impacted)—and comparative analyses were performed. Results: A total of 67 revision THA cases were evaluated, with a mean patient age of 63.2 years. Nearly half (47.8%) had no prior hip revision. The average number of previous procedures per patient was 1.73, and the mean interval from primary THA to revision was 178.4 months. Morselized bone allografts were used in 66.7% of cases, and structured allografts in 33.3%. Patients receiving structured grafts had undergone a significantly higher number of prior surgeries (p = 0.01) and had a longer duration since the initial THA (p = 0.04). Conclusions: These findings suggest that younger patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty may be at increased risk for complex revision procedures involving structured grafts later in life, underscoring the need for long-term monitoring and tailored surgical planning in this population.
