Article Synopsis
- - Alkaptonuria is a rare genetic disorder that affects the metabolism of homogentisic acid, leading to a condition called ochronotic arthropathy, which impacts major joints like the spine and knees, often going undiagnosed until adulthood.
- - A case study details a 43-year-old man who was diagnosed with this condition during surgery and successfully underwent joint replacements in multiple areas over 10 years, maintaining full mobility without implant issues after 11 years.
- - The findings suggest that total joint arthroplasty can yield positive long-term outcomes for patients with ochronotic arthropathy, but surgeons must be vigilant about inherent surgical difficulties and potential complications during treatment.
The distal tibiofibular syndesmosis (DTFS) is more frequently injured than previously thought. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment is essential to avoid long term complications like chronic instability, early osteoarthritis and residual pain. Management of these injuries require a complete understanding of the anatomy of DTFS, and the role played by the ligaments stabilizing the DTFS and ankle.

These injuries are associated with high energy trauma and pose challenges during management. Controversy exists between hip preservation and replacement surgeries in middle-age patients.

- Surgical management of Extraarticular Distal-third diaphyseal Humerus Fracture (EADHF) requires careful consideration of surgical techniques and implant options, with studies suggesting modified use of anatomic locking plates as an effective fixation method.
- The case report outlines a successful application of a Distal Medial Tibial locking Plate (DMTP) in a 45-year-old female patient, leading to bony union and excellent recovery over two years.
- The 3.5 mm DMTP enables rigid fixation and contributes to improved healing, decreased complications, and quicker recovery, making it a recommended alternative for treating EADHF.
Introduction: Intraoperative fracture in revision knee arthroplasty is commonly described. Intraoperative fracture during primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a significant yet infrequently reported complication. The literature about intraoperative fractures during primary TKA is limited.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFChoice of the implant during revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) is crucial in younger patients due to the impaired quality of bone and deficient bone stock. The short femoral stem provides an appealing unorthodox alternative implant in young patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty. A classic revision total hip arthroplasty predominantly describes the use of conventional or long stem for revision of the femoral component.

An isolated bilateral patellar fracture is often associated with systemic diseases, steroid usage, and repeated microtrauma. Isolated simultaneous bilateral periprosthetic patellar fracture after TKA is seldom reported in the literature.
