Feedback from the fourth European Bioanalysis Forum Young Scientist Symposium.

Since 2014, the European Bioanalysis Forum organizes a Young Scientist Symposium. The meeting format was created to provide development opportunities for young scientists to engage in international discussions. Creating a peer community of young scientists has been a proven recipe to lower the threshold and promote engagement in this community of young talents.

Hip resurfacing with retention of existing hardware - case report.

Despite operative reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), many patients who sustain proximal femur fractures develop posttraumatic arthritis. Conventional total hip arthroplasty (THA)in the setting of altered femoral morphology and retained hardware can be quite challenging. Hip resurfacing can provide a favorable option.

Computer-assisted navigation in hip resurfacing arthroplasty - a single-surgeon experience.

Hip resurfacing arthroplasty is a technically challenging procedure, and orientation of the femoral component is critical to avoid implant failure. The use of computer-assisted navigation has been shown to decrease the learning curve for beginners in hip resurfacing and to improve the surgeon's ability to produce consistent results. Computer navigation offers real-time feedback, with the opportunity to produce improved repeatability to optimize patient outcomes.

Hip resurfacing-keys to success.

In recent years, metal-on-metal hip resurfacing has become an increasingly popular treatment for patients needing hip arthroplasty. Important factors to consider for a successful outcome include proper patient selection and surgical technique, including approach, component positioning, and cementing technique. This review will serve as guide to both those who are learning the technique of hip resurfacing and to more experienced surgeons.
