Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty implant survival in patients with borderline indications.
Orthop Traumatol Surg Res
December 2024
Introduction: In the literature, 80%-92% of patients are satisfied with their medial femorotibial unicompartmental knee arthroplasties (UKAs). These results are associated with a 10-year implant survival rates ranging from 94% to 98% in various studies. Such outcomes are generally reported after excluding patients with obesity, chronic anterior instability, frontal deformities, or preoperative knee flexion deformities exceeding 10 °.

- Postoperative spinal epidural hematoma (SEH) is a serious complication in spine surgery, and addressing it effectively is crucial for patient safety and legal considerations.
- Research highlighted in this article examines the frequency, risk factors, and management strategies for SEH to create a practical framework for healthcare providers.
- The Belgian Society of Neurosurgery emphasizes the importance of quick identification and intervention, advocating for a set protocol that includes heightened suspicion, prompt diagnosis, and immediate surgical response to optimize patient outcomes.
Osseointegration of a hydroxyapatite-coated stem in femoral neck fractures in the over-80 s.
Eur J Orthop Surg Traumatol
April 2024
Purpose: In the over-80 s, femoral bone is often osteoporotic and unlikely to be conducive to periprosthetic bone rehabitation. This observation often leads to cemented fixation for hemiarthroplasty in femoral neck fracture. Hydroxyapatite is a bioactive coating that has already demonstrated its osteoinductive properties.

Computerized tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging showed what was described at first as a meningioma invading and occluding the torcular Herophili, the posterior third of the superior sagittal sinus and the proximal part of the right transverse sinus. Gross total resection of the tumor was performed without reconstructing dural sinuses.

Objective: To show that a minimally invasive percutaneous IPD is safe and noninferior to standalone decompressive surgery (SDS) for patients with degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis with NIC.
Methods: A multicenter, international, randomized, controlled trial (RCT) was con- ducted.
