Mid-term results of a cementless hip stem in femoral revision: how much diaphyseal press-fit do we need?

Introduction: The aim of this retrospective study was to analyze the clinical and functional outcome of a modular tapered revision hip stem after mid-term follow-up with a special focus on the length of the distal bicortical fixation of the cementless hip stem.

Materials And Methods: Follow-up examination was carried out for all patients with implantation of the Prevision hip stem between 2014 and 2019 to collect demographic, functional, and radiographic data.

Results: 44 patients with stem in situ were examined, and 61 patients could be included in the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis.

Standardized palmar plating of dorsally displaced distal radius fractures.

With the inauguration of fixed-angle plates, palmar plating has become a widely accepted way to treat dorsally displaced distal radius fractures. The technique by which the plate is applied to the radius varies. Such plates are primarily fixed either distally or at the proximal limbs.

The effect of labeling photo documents in wrist arthroscopies on intra- and interobserver reliability.

Introduction: The reproducibility of diagnoses based on photo documents in wrist arthroscopies is limited and is expected to improve if the photos are labeled with illustrated structures.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of labeling photo documents on intra- and interobserver agreement and reliability of standard photo documentation in wrist arthroscopies.

Materials And Methods: Digital photographs of 50 arthroscopies were re-evaluated by the surgeon as well as by two independent hand surgeons.

Children sport shoes--a systematic review of current literature.

Objective: The child's foot is clearly distinct from the adult foot in its functional anatomy and ability to cope with pressure. This requires special considerations in the development of a children's sport shoe.

Methods: Medical and sport science databases were thoroughly searched for studies pertaining to the anatomy and biomechanics of children's feet during their development.
