Outcomes of basicervical femoral neck fracture treated with percutaneous compression plate (PCCP).

Introduction: Basicervical femoral neck fracture is associated with high rates of failure due instability patterns, mainly collapse and rotational instability. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical-radiological results of a group of patients with a bascervical proximal femoral fractures treated with Percutaneous Compression Plate (PCCP).

Material And Methods: Among 5817 patients with a hip fracture who were admitted in our hospital from January 2005 to December 2017, 234 factures (4%) were diagnosed of basicervical femoral fracture.

Revision total knee arthroplasty: hybrid vs standard cemented fixation.

Introduction: Modular systems with stems are necessary for the stability of revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA), but controversy remains as to the best fixation method: cemented or hybrid (noncemented stem). The aim of this study was to assess the clinical, X-ray, life-quality and survival results obtained with each fixation method.

Materials And Methods: During the period 2000-2013, rTKA was performed on 67 patients (29 cemented arthroplasty and 38 hybrid fixation).

Burch-Schneider ring associated with morselized bone allografts, survival and clinical outcomes after acetabular revision surgery.

Introduction And Objectives: Acetabular revision surgery is a challenge due to the appearance of bone defects that make primary fixation of implants difficult when extracting loosened components. Reinforcement rings, such as Burch-Schneider (BS), have been shown to be allies in moderate or severe bone defects. The objective of the study is to evaluate the results and survival of these types of implants in acetabular revision surgery in the medium follow-up.

[The importance of the restoration of the joint line in revision total knee arthroplasty. Clinical indexes, quality of life and survival].

Introduction: The reproduction of the anatomical joint line could be a good index to obtain good results in knee prosthesis surgery, although in revision surgery has not been enough studied. A search for a simple and reproducible method is needed to review these results.

Material And Methods: A retrospective study was conducted between January 2000 and December 2013.

[Prognosis factors in carpal tunnel syndrome surgery].

Introduction: Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most frequent peripheral neuropathy and it affects nearly 3% of the general population. Although electromyography tests have become the gold standard for diagnosis, currently there is controversy between the correlation of clinical data and electromyography for diagnosis. The purpose of this work is to study this correlation and determine the possible prognostic factors in this pathology.

Instability of total hip replacement: A clinical study and determination of its risk factors.

Objectives: To determine the risk factors associated with prosthetic dislocation and simulate a finite element model to determine the safe range of movement of various inclination and anteversion cup positions.

Material And Methods: Retrospective Case Control study with 46 dislocated patients from 1994 to 2011.

Control Group: 83 randomly selected patients.

[Amputation level after frostbite: role of bone scan. A case report].

Background: frostbite is defined as the damage sustained by tissues while subject to temperatures below their freezing point. The severity of tissue damage is variable, but frequently can result in amputation. Early surgical debridement is contraindicated in almost all patients because it can take weeks for definitive demarcation of non-viable tissues to occur.

[Dislocation of the hip in a patient with von Recklinghausen disease].

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1) is one of the most common autosomal dominant disorders affecting humans. Patients with NF-1 may present with characteristic orthopaedic manifestations such as scoliosis, congenital pseudoarthrosis and limb hyperttrophy. Dislocation of the hip associated with NF-1 is a rare occurrence.

[Cost-effectiveness of a hallux valgus day-surgery program].

Introduction: The development of one-day surgery units has shown to be a better use of health resources without reducing quality. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and quality criteria of ambulatory surgery program in the Hallux valgus process.

Material And Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on a sample of 753 patients who underwent a Hallux valgus process at our institution between 2002 and 2012 (292 in ambulatory surgery cohort and 461 in hospitalization group).

[Bone healing after surgery for seudarthrosis of the carpal scaphoid].

Introduction: The controversy around the treatment of carpal scaphoid pseudoarthrosis has an important place in traumatology. The purpose of this paper is to compare bone healing after surgery for carpal scaphoid pseudarthrosis.

Material And Methods: This is a retrospective study of the 50 cases of carpal scaphoid pseudarthrosis treated from 1992 to 2010.
