Seromadesis following total hip resurfacing by aspiration and injection of doxycycline.

Here, we present an interesting case of seroma following hip resurfacing arthroplasty in a 69-year-old man. During the postoperative recovery, the patient made rapid progress and returned to intense activity within the 6-week period. He subsequently developed further right hip pain and swelling.

Comparison study of temperature and deformation changes in the femoral component of a novel ceramic-on-ceramic hip resurfacing bearing to a metal standard, using a cadaveric model.

Hip resurfacing is an attractive alternative to total hip replacement preserving bone and reducing dislocation risk. Recent metal-on-metal designs have caused failure due to metal wear debris. Ceramic implants may mitigate this risk.

The seasonality of slipped upper femoral epiphysis--meta-analysis: a possible association with vitamin D.

We performed a meta-analysis of studies evaluating the seasonality of slipped upper femoral epiphysis (SUFE). In addition we compared the monthly incidences of SUFE at latitudes greater than 40° with the established serum 25-hydroxyvitamin levels for children resident at a comparative latitude. In total 11 relevant studies were identified, involving 7451 cases of SUFE.

Ascending tonic clonic seizure syndrome after percutaneous vertebroplasty.

Unlabelled: Background Context. Cement leakage is not a rare complication of vertebroplasty, but ascending tonic clonic seizure syndrome is exceptionally rare. We herein report the first case to our knowledge of this complication related to vertebroplasty.

Hip fractures sustained in hospital: comorbidities and outcome.

Background: Guidelines on the management of hip fracture in the elderly focus on fractures suffered in the community. Between 4% and 7% of hip fractures occur in hospital. Mortality is higher in those who sustain hip fracture in hospital than those who sustain a fracture in the community.

Is body temperature an independent predictor of mortality in hip fracture patients?

Introduction: Admission body temperature is a critical parameter in all trauma patients. Low admission temperature is strongly associated with adverse outcomes. We have previously shown, in a prospective study that low admission body temperature is common and associated with high mortality in hip fracture patients (Uzoigwe et al.
