Arthroscopic Retrograde Intramedullary Nailing of Periprosthetic Fractures After Total Knee Arthroplasty-Technique, Safety, and Outcomes.

Background: Periprosthetic fractures after total knee arthroplasty are notoriously challenging entities to manage. The 2 major fixation techniques utilized include locking compression plates and retrograde intramedullary nailing. The challenges in obtaining correct entry points in the presence of the superimposing femoral component in retrograde intramedullary nailing often warrants a full knee joint arthrotomy.

The effect of Mulligan's mobilization with movement following total knee arthroplasty: Protocol of a single-blind randomized controlled trial.

Background: Mulligan's mobilization with movement (MWM) aims to enhance the kinematics of the joint. Kinematic impairment of the knee joint is significant following total knee arthroplasty (TKA), which could be managed with Mulligan's MWM. This article describes the study protocol for a single-blind randomized controlled trial investigating the effectiveness of Mulligan's MWM following TKA.

Cemented and cementless total hip replacement. Critical analysis and comparison of clinical and radiological results of 182 cases operated in Al Razi Hospital, Kuwait.

Objective: In this study we present the results of a series of cemented Exeter and cementless Zweymuller implants.

Subject And Methods: Eighty-seven cemented and 95 cementless hip replacements for different hip pathologies were followed for an average period of 36 months for cementless and 60 months for cemented cases. Clinical results were calculated using the Merle d'Aubigne score.

The use of locked nails in the treatment of humeral shaft: delayed union and nonunion.

Objectives: To assess the results and clinical outcome of delayed union and nonunion humeral shaft treatment using locked medullary nails.

Subjects And Methods: The Russel and Taylor humeral locking nail was used to treat 21 patients with humeral shaft fractures at Al Razi hospital, Kuwait, from 1997 to 2001. Of these, 8 had delayed union and 13 nonunion.
