Abstract

A method of calculating the degree of anteversion of the acetabular fossa is described. A posterior-anterior projection of the prone pelvis with a long focus film and focus object distance is used. The distance between the anterior and posterior rims of the fossa as projected on the films is measured and then divided by a distance equivalent to the diameter: this yields the sin of the anteversion angle. The angle is rapidly calculated with a pocket calculator.

Acetabular reinforcement in total hip replacement.

In conclusion, based on our experimental and clinical material and analysis of failures, we recommend wire mesh reinforcement and bone graft for patients with mild to moderate protrusio. If the floor is strong but the pillars deficient, then the Eichler ring alone is the best implant. The combined system of wire mesh and Eichler ring should be used in cases of protrusion with a large deficiency of the acetabular floor and for protrusio with pillar weakness. Furthermore a bone graft should be used to reinforce the acetabular floor in addition to any prosthetic device.

Influence of cartilage geometry on the pressure distribution in the human hip joint.

To elucidate the role of mechanical factors in the etiology of osteoarthritis, the detailed geometry of the weight-bearing cartilage layer over the human hip socket is compared with the corresponding pressure distribution. The shape of the pressure distribution is strongly correlated with the shape of the cartilage compression distribution.
