(OBQ16.243) An 80-year-old female presents following a fall from standing. She was an active, independent, community ambulator prior to this event. Past surgical history is significant for a left total hip arthroplasty 10 years prior. A left hip XR is obtained and shown in Figure A. A CT is obtained and demonstrates a displaced transverse acetabulum fracture with medial cup migration. There is no evidence of femoral component loosening or fracture. There is no concern for infection and all inflammatory markers are within appropriate limits. Which treatment is most appropriate?

(SBQ13HK.2.1) A 65-year-old male presents to your clinic for evaluation of right hip pain. He underwent a right total hip arthroplasty (THA) 20 years prior and was doing very well until 2 years ago. He admits to groin pain when getting up from a seated position. He denies any fevers or chills. Radiograph is shown in Figure A. Which of the following would preclude the patient from undergoing a single-stage surgical intervention without further workup?

(OBQ13.272) A 72-year-old patient is scheduled to undergo revision total hip arthroplasty. A 3D-model of the patient's hemipelvis is constructed for pre-operative planning and is shown in Figure A. A custom-designed implant shown in Figure B is created. Which of the following is TRUE of the planned reconstruction?

(OBQ12.17) A 71 year old gentleman underwent left total hip arthroplasty 10 years ago. Eighteen months ago he began having hip and thigh pain. Over the past 6 weeks, the pain has become excruciating and he has been unable to ambulate, even with the aid of a walker. He has mild pain with passive internal and external rotation of the hip. He is unable to ambulate in the office. Laboratory values are notable for a WBC of 10,300, CRP of 0.2, and ESR of 13. A radiograph is provided in figure A. Which of the following is the best treatment option?

(OBQ12.16) Which of the following statements is true regarding the thirty-year follow-up data obtained from the Charnley "low-friction" total hip arthroplasty?

(OBQ12.149) A 91-year-old male with a history of chronic leukemia and dementia falls and sustains the hip fracture shown in Figure A. He undergoes a hemiarthroplasty through a posterior approach. A post-operative radiograph is shown in Figure B. Three weeks later he dislocates the hip arising from the toilet seat. A radiograph is shown in Figure C. The patient undergoes a closed reduction and is placed in a hip abduction brace. Post reduction radiograph is shown in Figure D. One month later he returns to clinic complaining of pain and inability to bear weight through the leg. A radiograph of the hip is included in Figure E. Which of the following factors has MOST likely contributed to the instability of the hip hemiarthroplasty?

(OBQ12.67) A 72-year old female who underwent an uncemented right total hip arthroplasty 2 years ago complains of right hip pain after a fall. Figure A shows her current radiograph. Which acetabular bone defect classification and treatment option best describes this scenario?

(OBQ12.50) A 74-year-old man presents with start-up thigh pain following a total hip replacement 10 years ago. Immediate post-operative radiograph is shown in Figure A. A current radiograph is shown in Figure B. Aspiration of the hip yields 1,005 white blood cells/ml. ESR is 12 (normal <40) and CRP is 0.4 (normal <1.2). Which of the following is the most appropriate management at this time?

(SAE10HK.15) A 71-year-old woman with coronary artery disease underwent an uncomplicated right total hip arthroplasty for osteoarthritis 12 years ago. Her hip has functioned well until approximately 18 months ago when she noted the spontaneous onset of groin, buttock, and proximal thigh pain that is present at rest and made worse with activity. A radiograph is shown in Figure 15. What is the recommended management at this point?

(OBQ10.187) Which of the following is true regarding the conversion of hip arthrodesis to total hip arthroplasty?

(OBQ08.148) A 85-year-old man who underwent hemiarthroplasty 5 years ago now complains of thigh pain for the past four months. Laboratory studies show a normal white blood cell count (WBC), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP). An aspiration of the hip is performed and is negative for infection. A radiograph is shown in Figure A. Which of the following is the best management option for the femoral implant?

(OBQ08.217) A 67-year-old female with history rheumatoid arthritis presents with acute onset severe left hip pain eight years status-post total hip arthroplasty. She is unable to weight bear on the left leg, but denies any other pain or systemic symptoms. A current radiograph of the pelvis is shown in Figure A. What is the most likely cause of the patient's current hip pain symptoms?

(SAE07HK.67) What are the optimal conditions for leaving the acetabular shell in place, replacing the acetabular liner, and grafting the osteolytic defect shown in Figure 39?

(SAE07HK.74) Figure 44 shows the radiograph of a 65-year-old man who underwent a revision arthroplasty to remove a loose, cemented femoral stem. When planning the postoperative restrictions, the surgeon should be aware that

(SAE07HK.21) A 72-year-old woman who underwent right total hip arthroplasty 7 years ago now reports right hip pain and limb shortening. Studies for infection are negative. AP and lateral radiographs are shown in Figures 13a and 13b. What is the most appropriate management?

(OBQ06.174) Figure A shows an AP hip radiograph of a 72-year-old woman who had had a right total hip arthroplasty fifteen years previously. CT imaging of the affected hip shows non-contained defects in both the anterior and posterior columns of the peri-acetabular region affecting greater than 50% of the weight bearing surface. Which of the following revision procedures would restore the most acetabular bone stock and be most appropriate for this patient?
