Abstract
To investigate the application of high offset femoral stem prosthesis in primary total hip arthroplasty. From January 2015 to June 2017, 51 patients with unilateral hip diseases who underwent primary total hip arthroplasty with Corail high offset femoral stem prosthesis(KHO type) were selected for retrospective study, including 20 females and 31 males;the age ranged from 21 to 71 years old with an average of(50.8±13.3) years old. The abduction arm, femoral offset, acetabular offset and the length of lower limbs were measured on the positive X-ray film of hip joint after operation. Harris scores before and after operation and related complications were recorded, and the stability of prosthesis was analyzed. The femoral offset, combined offset and abduction arm of the affected side were significantly greater than those of the healthy side(P<0.05). There was no significant difference in acetabular offset between the affected side and the healthy side (P>0.05). The femoral offset of 17 hips (33.3%) was reconstructed normally, of which 15 cases (88.2%) had equal length of both lower limbs. The femoral offset of 34 hips (66.7%) was greater than that of the healthy side, and 34 cases (100%) had equal length of both lower limbs. All 51 patients were followed up for(42.3±7.3) months. The Harris score increased from 38.0±7.6 before operation to 92.1±3.1 at the final follow-up(P<0.001). Although the high offset Corail prosthesis can not normally reconstruct the femoral offset in unilateral primary total hip arthroplasty, it does not affect the reconstruction of the length of lower limbs and the stability of the prosthesis.
