The acetabular labrum is a fibrous structure, which surrounds the femoral head. It forms a seal to the hip joint, [ 15 ] although its true function is poorly understood. Recent evidence has demonstrated that this hydraulic seal is vital for maintaining stability of the ball and socket joint [ 16 ] and reducing contact pressures of the femur to ...
In radiography the presence of a "crossover sign" is produced when the posterior wall of the acetabulum crosses the anterior wall before reaching the acetabular roof. It is a sign of acetabular retroversion and it has been linked with overcoverage and pincer impingement. Nevertheless, this sign has been described in 6% of the normal population.
"In the Houston area, Consumer Reports says the top hospital for surgery in our area is Houston Orthopedic and Spine Hospital in Bellaire." [1] In terms of the nation, HOSH is ranked in the top 1% of the best hospitals, top 5% for patient experience, and top 10% for spine surgery. [2]
Hip resurfacing is a surgical alternative to total hip replacement (THR). The procedure consists of placing a cap (usually made of cobalt-chrome metal), which is hollow and shaped similarly to the cap of a mushroom, over the head of the femur while a matching metal cup (similar to what is used with a THR) is placed in the acetabulum (pelvis socket), replacing the articulating surfaces of the ...
Hip replacement surgery can be performed as a total replacement or a hemi/semi(half) replacement. ... The average cost of a total hip replacement in 2012 was $40,364 ...
The acetabular labrum is a fibrocartilagenous structure similar in composition to the meniscus. It is a ring of tissue that surrounds the acetabulum of the pelvis, and allows the head of the femur to articulate smoothly and efficiently with the acetabulum. The labrum plays an important role in maintaining the biomechanical stability of the hip ...
Houston starters Cristian Javier and José Urquidy are both scheduled to have right elbow surgery, a big blow to an Astros team trying to rebound after a terrible start to the season. General ...
X-ray of Femoral Osteotomy hardware to correct femoral rotation caused by hip dysplasia. X-ray of the right hip in female patient in early thirties. Two main types of osteotomies are used in the correction of hip dysplasias and deformities to improve alignment/interaction of acetabulum – (socket) – and femoral head – (ball), innominate osteotomies and femoral osteotomies.
