bilateral staged total hip replacement and the natural progress of an untreated case of developmental dysplasia (Dislocation) of the hip: A clinical case report by the surgeon and the patient

The natural history of an untreated case of a Developmental Dysplasia (Dislocation) of the Hip (DDH) associated with multiple congenital abnormalities is reported in a 55-years-old man. The patient�s complaints and the varieties of the typical manifestations emerged in other parts of the body throughout the life are reviewed and discussed as comorbidities of a dysplastic condition. Two-stage bilateral total hip replacement (THR) operations were performed at the age of 55. In addition, to relieve the pain, the walking disabilities were overcome, hence gaining normal walking in swing and stances. The leg length discrepancy was corrected by anatomically positioned prostheses, examined by the knee bending test and characterized and evidenced by radiological features and indices. © 2015, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences.

Iranian joint registry (iranian national hip and knee arthroplasty registry)

Periodic evaluation and monitoring the health and economic outcome of joint replacement surgery is a common and popular process under the territory of joint registries in many countries. In this article we introduce the methodology used for the foundation of the National Iranian Joint Registry (IJR) with a joint collaboration of the Social Security Organization (SSO) and academic research departments considering the requirements of the Iran's Ministry of Health and Education. ©BY THE ARCHIVES OF BONE AND JOINT SURGERY

Exostosis-like intra-articular periosteal osteoblastoma: a rare case.

Osteoblastoma is a relatively rare benign bone tumor, most often located in the vertebral column or metaphysis of the long bones, particularly the femur and the tibia. Periosteal osteoblastoma is the least common type. Exostosis-like appearance is not common even in periosteal osteoblastoma, a very rare type of this tumor. In addition, an intraarticular location is uncommon for osteoblastomas. Here we report the case of a 25-year-old man with intra-articular exostosis-like periosteal osteoblastoma of the hip that resulted in impingement and osteoarthritis
