ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION: total hip arthroplasty (THA) is one of the most performed surgeries worldwide, with high satisfaction rates. The orientation of the acetabular component has a direct impact on the risk of dislocation, recently with the support of robotic surgery the margin of error in implant placement has decreased; however, the conventional technique even without fluoroscopic support continues to have satisfactory results within the safety zone. MATERIAL AND METHODS: retrospective, cross-sectional, descriptive case series of patients treated with THA at Hospital General Xoco between 2022 and 2024. Degrees of anteversion and inclination were measured with Widmer's method on postoperative radiographs. RESULTS: the radiographs of 113 patients were studied, 80 female and 33 male, with a mean age of 63.2 ± 13.01 years (95% CI: 60.6-65.4), a mean inclination of 42.2° ± 8.1° (95% CI: 40.7-43.2) and anteversion of 14.3° ± 8.5° (95% CI: 12.5-15.4); 76% of the population was within Lewinnek safe zone; by etiology: osteoarthrosis 74%, sequelae of dysplasia 68% and intracapsular fracture 82%; difference between the values of the affected side: left 65%, right 83%, of 3.9° and 4.7°/6.4o and 9° in relation to the overall values of the population. CONCLUSION: in our population undergoing THA, without the use of robotic technique or support of imaging studies, anteversion and inclination figures were recorded within the Lewinnek safety parameters with a conventional method.
INTRODUCCIÓN: la artroplastía total de cadera (ATC) es una de las cirugías más realizadas a nivel mundial, con altos porcentajes de satisfacción. La orientación del componente acetabular tiene impacto directo en el riesgo de luxación; recientemente, con el apoyo de la cirugía robótica, el margen de error en la colocación de los implantes ha disminuido; sin embargo, la técnica convencional, incluso sin apoyo fluoroscópico, continúa teniendo resultados satisfactorios dentro de la zona de seguridad. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: serie de casos retrospectiva, transversal y descriptiva, de pacientes tratados con ATC en Hospital General Xoco entre 2022 y 2024. Se midieron los grados de anteversión e inclinación con el método de Widmer en las radiografías postoperatorias. RESULTADOS: se estudiaron las radiografías de 113 pacientes, 80 mujeres y 33 hombres, con edad media de 63.2 ± 13.01 años (IC95%: 60.6-65.4), se obtuvo una inclinación media de 42.2° ± 8.1° (IC95%: 40.7-43.2) y anteversión de 14.3° ± 8.5° (IC95% 12.5-15.4); 76% de la población se encontraba dentro de la zona segura de Lewinnek; por etiología: osteoartrosis 74%, secuelas de displasia 68% y fractura intracapsular 82%; diferencia entre los valores del lado afectado: izquierdo 65%, derecho 83%, de 3.9° y 4.7°/6.4° y 9° en relación con los valores globales de la población. CONCLUSIÓN: en nuestra población sometida a ATC, sin uso de técnica robótica o apoyo de estudios de imagen, se registraron cifras de anteversión e inclinación dentro de los parámetros de seguridad de Lewinnek con un método convencional.

Structural deformities of the acetabulum secondary to developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) are one of the most common causes requiring total hip arthroplasty (THA), whether in conjunction with femoral osteotomy in cases of Crowe dislocation 4. Several techniques have been described, studied, and compared, but there is no superiority of one technique over another. Currently, most hip surgeons perform a subtrochanteric osteotomy. With a follow-up of 10 years, good results have been obtained, so there is a need to present a therapeutic alternative with potential benefits, mainly in restoring the center of rotation of the hip, preserving the proximal bone component, and reducing complications. Therefore, this study aims to describe the surgical technique of CTA in conjunction with supracondylar shortening osteotomy in a 29-year-old female patient, using an uncemented acetabular cup, a short uncemented stem with ceramic-polyethylene bearing, and distal fixation with a 4-hole plate LC-LCP, with the goal of restoring the natural biomechanics of the hip.
Las deformidades estructurales del acetábulo como secuelas de displasia en el desarrollo de la cadera es una de las patologías más frecuentes que ameritan como tratamiento la cirugía de artroplastía total de cadera (ATC) asociada o no a osteotomía femoral en casos de luxación inveterada clasificada como Crowe 4. Múltiples técnicas han sido descritas, estudiadas y comparadas; sin embargo, no existe superioridad de una sobre otra. Actualmente, la osteotomía realizada por la mayoría de los cirujanos de cadera es subtrocantérica, se han reportado buenos resultados a 10 años de seguimiento. La necesidad de presentar una alternativa terapéutica con posibles beneficios, principalmente en la restitución del centro de rotación de la cadera, preservación de componente óseo proximal y disminución de las complicaciones, es meritoria en el campo quirúrgico. Por lo tanto, este estudio se propone describir la técnica quirúrgica de ATC asociada a osteotomía de acortamiento supracondílea en un paciente femenino de 29 años, con uso de copa acetabular no cementada, vástago corto no cementado con par de fricción cerámica-polietileno y fijación distal con placa LC-LCP de cuatro orificios, con el objetivo de restaurar la biomecánica natural de la cadera.

BACKGROUND: Variants of 8q24 locus have been associated with prostate cancer (PCa) susceptibility. This study aims to analyze the genetic basis of PCa susceptibility in Mexican men by analyzing SNPs in the 8q24 locus for the first time. METHODS: A case-control study was performed in 875 men recruited from the Mexican Social Security Institute, 326 patients with PCa, and 549 non-PCa patients (88 with benign prostatic hyperplasia BPH and 461 healthy controls). The 8q24 locus SNPs: rs16901979, rs16983267, rs1447295, and rs7837328 were genotyped by allelic discrimination assays using TaqMan probes. Statistical analysis was performed using Epi Info statistical 7.0 and SNPstats softwares. RESULTS: All genotype frequencies were in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium. No differences were observed in genotype distribution between PCa and non-PCa patients for rs6983267. Under different inheritance models, the rs16901979, rs1447295, and rs7837328 SNPs were associated with PCa (OR = 2.8, 1.8, and 1.72, respectively; Pc < 0.001) when comparing PCa patients against controls. This association remains between PCa and BPH patients under different models (OR = 8.5, 2.2, and 1.9, respectively; Pc < 0.001). There were no significant differences in allele and genotype distribution among BPH patients and controls. The combined effect of the alleles CGAA for the SNPs rs16901979, rs6983267, rs1447295, and rs7837328 showed significant differences between PCa patients and controls (OR = 2.9, 95% CI = 1.48-5.83, Pc = 0.008). Four 8q24 variants were not associated with D'Amico score, age at diagnosis, and bone metastases. CONCLUSIONS: Our study provides the first confirmation that variants rs16901979, rs1447295, and 7837328 at 8q24 locus are associated with PCa susceptibility in Mexican men.
