The push-through total femoral prosthesis for revision of a total hip or knee replacement with extreme bone loss.

Purpose: The aim of the present study was to assess outcomes of using the push-through total femoral prothesis (PTTF) for revision total hip replacement with extreme bone loss.

Methods: 10 consecutive patients who received PTTF between 2012 and 2018 for revision hip arthroplasty were included in the study. Primary functional outcomes were assessed using Harris Hip Score (HHS), Toronto Extremity Salvage Score (TESS) and Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) scores.

Effectiveness of RF ablation and cementoplasty in enhancing functional capacity in pelvic malignant bone metastases.

Purpose: Pelvic and sacral bone metastases cause significant morbidity. The primary aim of the study is to thoroughly evaluate the increase in functional capacity resulting from combined RF ablation and cementoplasty surgery applied to malignant bone metastases of the pelvic bones.

Methods: Twenty patients who underwent RF ablation and cementoplasty for malign pelvic bone and sacrum metastases between January 2014 and December 2021 were retrospectively identified.

Predictive value of different glycemic control markers in total hip or knee arthroplasty: A prospective study.

Objective: The optimal glycemic control marker before total hip or knee arthroplasty remains inconclusive. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is widely used, while fructosamine may be valuable for predicting periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). Fructosamine levels can be affected by serum albumin levels; albumin-corrected fructosamine (AlbF) can be calculated to overcome this issue.

Joint awareness after fixed and mobile-bearing total knee arthroplasty with minimum 12 years of follow-up: A propensity matched-pair analysis.

Background: Many comparative articles studied mobile-bearing (MB) and fixed-bearing (FB) total knee arthroplasties (TKAs). Meta-analyses found no difference in survival or biomechanical outcome. This study aimed to compare long-term clinical results between fixed-bearing (FB) and mobile-bearing (MB) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) as well as patients' adaptation to their artificial joints.
