Abstract

|
|
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the benefits of Woodpecker® in total hip arthroplasty.
Materials and Methods: Operation time, amount of transfusion, femur fracture during the operation, and the incidence of infection were analyzed in two groups. Group A consisted of 81 cases in 71 patients who underwent primary THA rasping with Woodpecker® from January 2001 to June 2002. Group B comprised 75 cases of 67 patients who underwent primary THA rasping by the usual method from March 1997 to February 1998. All the operations were performed by the same operator. All the procedures were identical except for rasping using Woodpecker® in group A and using the manual method in group B.
Results:
Conclusion: Total hip arthroplasty using Woodpecker® may be effective in reducing operation time, transfusion and femur fracture during operation.
