Article Abstract
Background And Purpose: Femoral retroversion (FR) is known to be a predisposing factor for femoro-acetabular impingement and is hypothesized to constitute a risk factor for early osteoarthritis of the hip. We performed a systematic review to comprehensively evaluate the evidence for FR being associated with hip osteoarthritis (OA) and the results of early treatment among adolescents and young adults.
Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted in biomedical databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane, Google Scholar) from 1970 to 2023. Inclusion criteria were studies in English or German. Studies were selected based on predefined criteria and according to PRISMA guidelines.
Results: Of 37 initial records, 11 studies were included, involving 1,807 patients and 785 cadavers. Most studies were conducted in North America (7), Europe (3), and Australia (1). Diagnostic modalities included clinical examination, radiography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. Findings from preclinical and clinical studies suggest an association between FR and hip pain, impingement, and OA. Studies reported that 5-11% of patients requiring total hip replacement exhibited FR and emphasized pain in young adults as a prompt for torsional assessment. However, contradictory results regarding the need for surgical correction were found. Surgery appears effective in relieving hip pain. Concerns exist regarding spontaneous correction at a young age and the risk of overcorrection with surgery.
Conclusion: Our review underscores the lack of evidence regarding FR as a risk factor for hip osteoarthritis, and contradictory results regarding the need for surgical correction were found.

Background And Objective: With obese individuals experiencing osteoarthritis (OA) at early stages of life, hip resurfacing (HR) has emerged as an alternative to arthroplasty. The purpose is to conduct a short-term analysis on patients with obesity who underwent primary HR for OA compared to a benchmark control group of non-obese patients.
Materials And Methods: Patients with a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m2 who underwent HR from 2010 to 2021 were eligible for inclusion.

Background: Individuals who have had total joint arthroplasty (TJA) are subject to lifelong exposure to metal-based implants. The relationship between chronic exposure to metal-based implants and systemic effects on the brain remains unclear. We aimed to determine the association between TJA and the subsequent long-term risk of dementia.

Introduction: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) with third-generation alumina ceramic heads on highly cross-linked polyethylene liners (HXLPE) has demonstrated excellent outcomes in young patients. However, concerns of ceramic head fracture, squeaking, stripe wear, and limited sizing led to the development of a fourth-generation ceramic head. The purpose of our study was to report on survivorship, wear characteristics, and patient-reported outcomes of THA with a fourth-generation 32-mm ceramic femoral head and HXLPE liner in patients 50 years or younger at 10-year minimum follow-up.

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is the standard surgical treatment for end-stage hip osteoarthritis, with its success dependent on precise preoperative planning, which, in turn, relies on accurate three-dimensional segmentation and reconstruction of the periarticular bone of the hip joint. However, patients with hip osteoarthritis often exhibit pathological characteristics, such as joint space narrowing, femoroacetabular impingement, osteophyte formation, and joint deformity. These changes present significant challenges for traditional manual or semi-automatic segmentation methods.
