고관절의 생역학은 고관절에서 체중이 관절면을 통해 전달되는 역학적인 원리를 이해하고 탐구하는 학문이다. 이러한 기초 과학 지식은 퇴행성 관절의 병리와 고관절 치환술 등 다양한 분야에 적용될 수 있다. 특히 고관절의 생역학에 대한 이해를 통해 인공 고관절 치환물의 재료와 설계 및 고정과 관련된 고관절 치환술 분야의 발전을 이루어 왔으며, 수술 방법의 선택, 치환물의 선택 및 위치 등 다양한 부분에 적용될 수 있다. 더욱이 환자의 보다 나은 임상 결과를 얻기 위해서는 고관절의 생역학을 잘 이해하는 것이 필수적이다. 따라서 여기서는 고관절의 생역학을 접근하는 데 필요한 기본적인 지식과 정상 고관절 및 인공 고관절의 생역학적 특성을 알아보고자 한다.

Objectives: We assessed impact of performance reporting information about the readmission rate, length of stay and cost of hip hemiarthroplasty. Methods: The data are from a nationwide claims database, National Quality Improvement Project database, of Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service in Korea. From January 2006 to April 2008, we received information of length of stay, readmission within 30 days, cost of 22 851 hip hemiarthroplasty episodes. Each episodes has retained the diagnoses of comorbidities and demographics. We used time-series analysis to assess the shifting of patients selections, between high volume (over 16 operations in a year) and low volume institutions, after performance reporting (December 2007). The changes of quality (readmission, length of stay) and cost were evaluated by multilevel analysis with adjustment of patient's factors and institutional factors after performance reporting. Results: As compared with the before performance reporting, the proportion of patients who choose the high volume institution, increased 3.45% and the trends continued 4 months at marginal significance (p = 0.059). After performance reporting, national average readmission rate, length of stay were decreased by 0.49 OR (95% CI=0.25 - 0.95) and 10% (${\beta}$=-0.102, p<0.01) and cost was not changed (${\beta}$=-0.01, p=0.27). The high volume institutions were more decreased than low volume in length of stay. Conclusions: After performance reporting, readmission rate, length of stay were decreased and the patient selections were marginally shifted from low volume institutions to high volume institutions.
