Measure of horizontal and vertical displacement of the acromioclavicular joint after cutting ligament using X-ray and opto-electronic system.

Introduction: Surgical versus orthopedic treatments of acromioclavicular disjunction are still debated. The aim of this study was to measure horizontal and vertical acromion's displacement after cutting the ligament using standard X-ray and an opto-electronic system on cadaver.

Materials And Methods: Ten cadaveric shoulders were studied.

The dual mobility socket concept: experience with 668 cases.

Long-term results of a retrospective series of primary arthroplasty with the original cementless dual mobility socket (A) and the midterm results with the second generation (B) are reported. In series A (follow-up 16.5 years) 437 total hip arthroplasties (THA) were included and in series B (follow-up five years) 231 hips.

Short versus extended thromboprophylaxis after total knee arthroplasty: a randomized comparison.

Introduction: The optimal duration of thromboprophylaxis after total knee arthroplasty remains uncertain.

Material And Methods: We performed a randomized, open trial to determine whether to stop thromboprophylactic therapy at Day 10±2 ('short thromboprophylaxis') was non-inferior to continue thromboprophylactic therapy up to Day 35±5 ('extended thromboprophylaxis') after total knee arthroplasty. At Day 7±2, subjects were screened by ultrasonography for asymptomatic deep-vein thrombosis and randomized.

Arthroscopic reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament using bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft: a minimum 10-year follow-up.

Background: Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery and technique have changed over the past decade.

Hypothesis: Modern arthroscopic management of an anterior cruciate ligament tear using patellar tendon autograft offers a high patient satisfaction rate and good clinical results over the long term. However, it may be associated with osteoarthritis changes over time.
