Summary

The assistant artificial hip joint (AAHJ) offers early-stage treatment for ischemic necrosis of the femoral head. This innovative hip support preserves the natural femoral head, promoting recovery and restoring hip function quickly.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Biomedical engineering
  • Regenerative medicine

Context:

  • Ischemic necrosis of the femoral head (INFH) is a debilitating condition affecting hip joint function.
  • Early-stage intervention is crucial for preserving the natural femoral head and optimizing patient outcomes.
  • Current treatments may involve significant joint replacement or prolonged recovery periods.

Purpose:

  • To introduce the assistant artificial hip joint (AAHJ) as a novel treatment for early-stage INFH.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of AAHJ in preserving the natural femoral head and restoring hip function.
  • To assess the functional recovery and patient mobility following AAHJ implantation.

Summary:

  • The AAHJ is an impermanent hip support designed to treat early-stage ischemic necrosis of the femoral head.

  • It functions by increasing femoral head containment and reducing load, thereby facilitating the recovery of the necrosed bone.
  • The device shares the same moving axis center as the natural femoral head, ensuring a near-normal range of motion post-surgery.

    • Impact:

    • Patients can bear weight on the affected limb within 3 weeks of surgery.
    • Full recovery of daily activities is typically achieved within 2 to 3 months.
    • The AAHJ presents a simple, cost-effective solution for managing early-stage hip necrosis, potentially reducing the need for total hip replacement.
