Polyethylene liner exchange and bone grafting is an effective surgical option for the management of periacetabular osteolysis following total hip arthroplasty with well-fixed cups and intact liner locking mechanisms. We aimed to evaluate the revision-free survivorship and radiographic lesion progression after polyethylene liner exchange and bone grafting is performed for periacetabular osteolysis. A systematic review of the literature was performed.

Background: Clinical outcomes of cemented femoral stems revisions using the cement-in-cement technique in aseptic conditions after total hip arthroplasty have been widely described.

Methods: The US National Library of Medicine (PubMed/MEDLINE), EMBASE, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews were queried.

Results: Twelve articles were included (620 revision THA).

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to create guidelines for diagnosing, classifying, treating, and rehabilitating posterior medial corner (PMC) knee injuries using input from experts through a modified Delphi technique.
  • A group of 35 specialized surgeons participated in three rounds of surveys to reach a consensus on various statements, resulting in 53 items achieving over 75% agreement, and a high overall consensus of 82.8%.
  • While there was strong consensus on anatomy, diagnosis, and rehabilitation, there is still uncertainty about treating isolated PMC injuries, highlighting the need for better classification methods.*

Purpose: To compare graft coronal and sagittal inclination angles in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction performed by different femoral tunnel drilling techniques with respect to intact native ACL.

Methods: In total, 72 patients were prospectively enrolled in the study. The inclusion criteria were complete ACL rupture and patient age between 18 and 55 years.

This study examined the validity of the twitch interpolation technique for evaluating side-to-side asymmetries in quadriceps neuromuscular function. Fifty-six subjects with a wide range of asymmetries (19 healthy, 24 with unilateral and 13 with bilateral anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction) took part in the study. Supramaximal electrical paired stimuli were delivered to the quadriceps muscle during and immediately after a maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) of the knee extensors (twitch interpolation technique).
