Upward versus downward pelvic obliquity in dysplastic hip osteoarthritis: direction-specific factors associated with residual obliquity after total hip arthroplasty

Introduction: Pelvic obliquity (PO) in dysplastic hip osteoarthritis may tilt upward (U-PO) or downward (D-PO) on the affected side. U-PO tends to persist more frequently after total hip arthroplasty (THA) than D-PO; however, the contributing factors remain unclear. This study in...

Fracture laterality as an independent prognostic factor for clinical outcomes after hip fracture surgery

Aims Fracture laterality is routinely recorded in large hip fracture registries for administrative purposes, yet rarely evaluated as a prognostic variable. We aimed to test whether laterality is independently associated with short-term outcomes after hip fracture surgery. Methods...
