Article Synopsis
  • Primary hepatic rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare condition, creating challenges in deciding treatment options like surgery and radiation.
  • A pediatric case is presented where a patient received yttrium-90 (Y-90) microspheres followed by external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) interspersed with chemotherapy, showing a significant treatment response and minimal side effects.
  • After 23 months, the patient experienced disease recurrence, highlighting the need for ongoing local and systemic therapies for effective tumor control.

Background: The choice between performing total hip arthroplasty (THA) or hemiarthroplasty (HA) is not straightforward in older patients with femoral neck fracture, particularly when co-morbidities are factored in. This led us to carry out a case-control study to determine (1) the rate of mechanical complications for these two types of implants, and (2) the rate of medical complications and mortality.

Hypothesis: THA with dual mobility cup (DM) will result in fewer mechanical complications than HA.

Background: Accurate knowledge of knee joint kinematics, especially patellofemoral joint kinematics,is essential for prosthetic evaluation so as to further improve total knee arthroplasty performances. Improving the evaluation of the functioning of the extensor apparatus appears,in this respect, particularly important in this optimization effort.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to propose a new experimental setup for the analysis of knee joint kinematics and to validate its relevance in terms of accuracy and uncertainty.
