[Our Experience with ICON Hip Resurfacing System].

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Our study aimed to assess the mid-term outcomes and complications with the ICON hip resurfacing system and to carry out a detailed analysis of pitfalls and risks associated with pairing the bearing surfaces of metal-on-metal hip implants. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 52 hip joints were assessed in 43 patients who received the ICON hip resurfacing system at our department between 2009 and 2013. The cohort included 34 men and 9 women.

[Assessment of Clinical Outcomes of Surgically Treated Rockwood Type III Acromioclavicular Dislocation with or without Coracoclavicular Ligament Suture].

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocation and its surgical treatment still raises a number of questions that remain to be answered. In some types of dislocations, Rockwood type III in particular, the indication for surgical treatment as such is relative. There are numerous techniques and implants available for the reconstruction of AC joint.

[Revision ACL Reconstruction in Our Study Population].

INTRODUCTION The authors present the long-term clinical outcomes of revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. The aim was to compare the surgical technique with respect to the clinical outcomes within 3 years postoperatively. MATERIAL AND METHODS The clinical evaluation of revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions performed at our department in 2002-2017 was carried out.

Surgical treatment of fractures of the distal radius - ORIF vs external fixation with ligamentotaxis.

Introduction: The study compares the results of open reduction using volar locking plates with ligamentotaxis by external fixation in fractures of distal radius type 2R3C according to AO classification.

Methods: A retrospective study evaluating the results of osteosynthesis in patients with distal radius fractures type 2R3C according to AO classification, operated until December 2018. The ORIF method with volar locking plates (LCP) was used in 54 patients, and closed reduction with ligamentotaxis using external fixation (EF) was used in 33 patients.

[Our Experience with RM Pressfit Vitamys Cup and Cementless Optimys Short Stem].

INTRODUCTION The purpose of our study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes in patients at 3-6 years follow-up after primary implantation of RM Pressfit Vitamys cementless elastic cup and cementless Optimys short stem, including bone tissue remodelling around both the components. MATERIAL AND METHODS The evaluation covered 49 joint replacements in patients who had undergone surgery at our department between 2012 and 2015. The age at the time of primary surgery ranged from 29 to 71 years, with the mean value of 59.
