Summary
Dislocated S-ROM constrained total hip arthroplasty can be managed with a novel closed reduction technique. This approach offers a viable solution for medically compromised patients, avoiding urgent revision surgery.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Biomedical Engineering
Background:
- S-ROM constrained total hip arthroplasty dislocation necessitates urgent revision surgery.
- This poses a significant challenge for medically compromised patients.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present a technique for closed reduction of dislocated S-ROM constrained hips.
- To offer an alternative for high-risk patients.
Main Methods:
- A novel technique for closed reduction was developed.
- The technique was applied to three medically compromised patients.
Main Results:
- The closed reduction technique was successfully used in all three patients.
- Patients tolerated the procedure well.
- All patients underwent elective revision total hip arthroplasty after medical optimization.
Conclusions:
- Closed reduction is a feasible and safe option for dislocated S-ROM constrained hips in poor surgical candidates.
- This technique can help manage challenging cases and facilitate elective revision surgery.
