Hip replacement is one of the most common orthopaedic operations, though patient satisfaction varies widely. Approximately 58% of total hip replacements are estimated to last 25 years. [2] The average cost of a total hip replacement in 2012 was $40,364 in the United States, and about $7,700 to $12,000 in most European countries.
The Oxford Hip Score (OHS) is a standard patient-reported outcome (PRO) measure, or PROM, developed to assess function and pain in patients undergoing total hip replacement (THR) surgery, [1] [2] particularly in the context of clinical trials. The OHS has also been used for the assessment of patient outcomes, including physical therapy, and use ...

Magnetic resonance elastography ( MRE) is a form of elastography that specifically leverages MRI to quantify and subsequently map the mechanical properties ( elasticity or stiffness) of soft tissue. First developed and described at Mayo Clinic by Muthupillai et al. in 1995, MRE has emerged as a powerful, non-invasive diagnostic tool, namely as ...
An MRI pulse sequence in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a particular setting of pulse sequences and pulsed field gradients, resulting in a particular image appearance. [1] A multiparametric MRI is a combination of two or more sequences, and/or including other specialized MRI configurations such as spectroscopy.
Care should be taken to attempt repair of damaged heart valves rather than replacement. Lungs. Individuals with Marfan syndrome may be affected by various lung-related problems. One study found that only 37% of the patient sample studied (mean age 32±14 years; M 45%) had normal lung function. Spontaneous pneumothorax is common.
Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a condition involving one or more anatomical abnormalities of the hip joint, which is a ball and socket joint. [1] It is a common cause of hip pain and discomfort in young and middle-aged adults. [2] It occurs when the ball shaped femoral head contacts the acetabulum abnormally or does not permit a normal ...
