The dislocating hip: what to do, what to do
1London Health Sciences Centre, University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario, Canada.
Abstract:
Dislocation complicates between 1% and 3% of primary total hip arthroplasties (THAs) and 7% to 10% of revision procedures. Sixty percent of dislocations occur within the first 5 weeks. Closed reduction is successful in 67% of cases. If the hip keeps dislocating, revision surgery for instability is successful in only about 61% of patients. Many successful techniques have been described to deal with recurrent instability, including trochanteric advancement, modular component exchange, jumbo femoral heads, a bipolar or tripolar arthroplasty, or a constrained acetabular component. This article discusses the results of various surgical interventions and presents a treatment algorithm.

Abdominal Regions and Quadrants
The simpler quadrants approach, which is more commonly used in medicine, subdivides the cavity with one horizontal and one vertical line that intersects at the patient's umbilicus (navel). The four quadrants...
Functional Classification of Joints
The functional classification of joints is determined by the amount of mobility between the adjacent bones. Joints are functionally classified as a synarthrosis or immobile joint, an amphiarthrosis or slightly moveable joint, or as a diarthrosis, a freely moveable joint. Fibrous and cartilaginous joints can be functionally classified as either synarthroses or amphiarthroses, whereas all synovial joints are classified as diarthroses.
