Supramalleolar osteotomies for ankle arthritis: a systematic review.

Introduction: We investigated the mid-term outcomes of supramalleolar osteotomies regarding "survivorship" [before ankle arthrodesis (AA) or total ankle replacement (TAR)], complication rate and adjuvant procedures required.

Material And Methods: PubMed, Cochrane and Trip Medical Database were searched from January 01, 2000. Studies reporting on SMOs for ankle arthritis, in minimum of 20 patients aged 17 or older, followed for a minimum of two years, were included.

Total hip arthroplasty for an intracapsular femoral neck fracture of high-femoral amputee.

Femoral neck fractures in transfemoral amputees are not common and management is associated with surgical technique and post-operative rehabilitation challenges. A 61-year-old Caucasian, male, above-knee amputee (following mangled extremity trauma 8 months before) who mobilized with a prosthesis presented to the emergency department with a right femoral neck fracture (Garden III). The patient underwent cementless total hip replacement (THR), using the lateral (Hardinge's) approach.
