    Your 80 year-old great aunt, Persis, was placing a canning jar on the top shelf of her pantry when she stepped awkwardly off the stool and twisted her leg at the hip. She felt a sharp pain in her hip and, after collapsing to the floor, found she could no longer stand. She was taken to the emergency room where an X ray showed that the neck of her femur was fractured. More detailed X ray images revealed reduced bone mass in the head and neck regions of the injured femur, in the ends of other long bones of the body and in the vertebrae. Surgery was necessary to repair the fractured femur and a biopsy of the bone tissue indicated that the composition of the osteoid was normal. Healing of the fractured femur is proceeding slowly.…

    Hip Dislocations

    Foster (2005) implemented a randomized control study that examined whether removing particular postoperative function restrictions (PFR) reduced the incidence of hip dislocations. Foster (2005) followed 265 patients that received an uncemented THA and divided the patients into two evenly distributed groups: patients who had PFR and patients who were not PFR. The criteria for PFR was that the patients were to use an abduction pillow while in bed, restrict the patient from driving an automobile, patients were not allowed to sleep on patient’s side, and patients were required to use elevated toilets and chairs. He followed up with patients after a 6-month period to collect data. Throughout the 6 months, only one hip dislocation occurred (which was in the PFR group). Although the rate of hip dislocations after uncemented THA were too low to discover the effects of removing PFR, the patients who did not have PFR reported much higher satisfaction. The patients who had PFR were unsatisfied with the rate of their recovery and inability to return to daily functions (Foster,…
