Active monitoring versus an abduction device for treatment of infants with centered dysplastic hips: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial (TReatment with Active Monitoring (TRAM)-Trial).

Background: Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) is one of the most common pediatric orthopedic disorders, affecting 1-3% of all newborns. The optimal treatment of centered DDH is currently under debate. This randomized controlled trial aims to study the (cost-)effectiveness of active monitoring versus abduction treatment for infants with centered DDH.

Post-traumatic humero-ulnar synostosis.

A humero-ulnar synostosis is a bony connection between the humerus and the ulna. This is a very rare finding and it results in a serious disability of the elbow. Usually, a synostosis of the elbow occurs as a congenital anomaly.

Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the synovium discovered in total knee arthroplasty: a case report.

Background: Musculoskeletal involvement occurs in 25% of patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Primary lymphoma in the joint is rare. It can present as a bone lesion or as atypical soft tissue proliferation.

The use of the knee joint-line balancer to control patella position in revision total knee arthroplasty.

In revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA), control of the patellar height and the joint line is difficult. Therefore, we developed an adjustable flexion-extension spacer, the Knee Joint-line Balancer (KJB(R)). This device simulates femur component sizes, polyethylene sizes, the joint-line level, and distal femur wedges.
