Hip Arthroplasty with Total Prostheses

Summary:

The work begins with an introduction, explaining the hypothesis, purpose, and motivation behind selecting the theme. The second chapter offers a theoretical and scientific foundation, beginning with an in-depth exploration of osteology. This is followed by a detailed overview of the cox-femoral joint, the muscles associated with it, its vascularization, and the biomechanics that dictate its function. The document then delves into various ailments and fractures related to the femoral neck, including trochanteric fractures, aseptic necrosis of the femoral head, and coxarthritis. Subsequent sections focus on treatments for these conditions, highlighting the utilization of total hip prostheses. There’s an emphasis on the specifics of total cemented hip endoprostheses currently in use, along with the indications, contraindications, complications associated with such procedures, and the various materials and methodologies employed. The treatment options are extended to include addressing fractures, aseptic necrosis, and coxarthrosis. Chapter III outlines the organization of the research, detailing the subjects and locale of the study, followed by the research’s organizational method. The subsequent chapters, though not elaborated in the provided content, likely present the research’s conduct, results, interpretation, and conclusions. The study concludes with a summary of findings and recommendations, backed by an extensive bibliography.

I.1 Introduction

Hip arthroplasty with total prostheses fundamentally changed the prognosis of the conditions disabling the hip, in the sense that by the immediate postoperative realization of a hip. Recovery requires perseverance and, above all, cooperation between the patient and the patient.
