    A novel technique for hip joint fusion (arthrodesis) using a cancellous screw offers a minimally invasive solution. This method successfully achieved solid fusion and pain relief in four patients, demonstrating its clinical efficacy.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Skeletal System Research
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Hip joint fusion (arthrodesis) is a surgical procedure to eliminate pain and instability in severe hip joint disease.
    • Traditional arthrodesis techniques can be invasive and may lead to complications.
    • There is a need for effective and less invasive methods for hip arthrodesis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate a new technique for intraarticular hip arthrodesis.
    • To assess the efficacy of using a cancellous screw for compression in hip fusion.
    • To determine the outcomes of this technique in terms of fusion success and pain relief.

    Main Methods:

    • A minimally invasive surgical technique involving intraarticular hip arthrodesis was developed.

  • A cancellous screw was used to apply compression across the hip joint to promote fusion.
  • The technique was applied to four patients with debilitating hip joint conditions.

    • Main Results:

    • All four patients achieved solid bony fusion of the hip joint.
    • Significant pain relief was reported by all patients at follow-up.
    • The cancellous screw technique facilitated stable fixation and promoted successful arthrodesis.

    Conclusions:

    • Intraarticular hip arthrodesis using a cancellous screw is a viable and effective technique.
    • This method provides a reliable option for achieving solid hip fusion and alleviating pain.
    • The technique demonstrates potential for improved patient outcomes in hip joint reconstruction.
