Número de Hip Internacional dedicado a nuestros trabajos, financiado por la SECCA

En la Asamblea de nuestra Sociedad, durante el Congreso celebrado en Valencia, se acordó aceptar la posibilidad de publicar un Suplemento de la revista Hip International, actualmente incluida en Medline, patrocinado y financiado por la SECCA.

El número será previsiblemente publicado a los largo del año 2010.

This special supplement issue of Hip International is intended to supply an up-date on different hip problems by experienced Spanish hip surgeons, all SECCA members.

The contributions to this volume consider different areas in hip surgery: Several aspects of acetabular fractures and how to avoid injuries of the superior gluteal nerve are covered. Epiphyseal femoral tumor resection under intraosseous endoscopic control, clinical results after anterior mini-open approach for femoroacetabular impingement and the computer navigation guided alignment of the femoral component in hip resurfacing are also presented. The accuracy of Ranawat’s and Pierchon’s methods to determine the center of hip rotation, CFP short stem results and home hospitalization for elective total hip arthroplasty are considered. The clinical results of the total hip replacement are analyzed. A new cementless stem is considered in a multicentric study and the long-term results of the Spotorno and Furlong are also analysed. The bedding-in and true wear in two different generations of porous-coated acetabular cups and the clinical results of the alumina-on-alumina hip replacement in developmental dysplasia of the hip are both assessed. Revision surgery is analyzed in three interesting papers, one on the use of hemispherical HA-coated cups with impacted graft in acetabular reconstruction for severe bone defects, and others on the use of the Burch-Schneider antiprotrusio cage for acetabular revision and the use of the Trabecular Metal Buttress Augment and Trabecular Metal Cup-Cage construct for severe acetabular bone loss and pelvic discontinuity. Finally, two-stage revision of infected hip prostheses using a hip spacer with stabilizing proximal cementation is also included in this issue.

This message is to inform you that the 2008 Impact Factor of HIP INTERNATIONAL is 0.215.

Although our commitment is directed to the continuous up-grade of this 19-year-old scientific publication, we are proud to record this increase.

Such an increase is due to the keen efforts of the Chief Editors, the Section Editors, all members of the Editorial Board, all AUTHORS and, last but not least, all members of the European Hip Society - as well as members of the other affiliated societies (Spanish Hip Society, Italian Hip Society, Turkish Arthroplasty Society, Argentinian Association for the Study of Hip and Knee) – who shall continue to submit their contributions to Hip International.
