Custom-Made Implants in Ankle Bone Loss: A Retrospective Assessment of Reconstruction/Arthrodesis in Sequelae of Septic Non-Union of the Tibial Pilon.

: Treating segmental tibial and ankle bone loss after radical surgery for chronic osteomyelitis is one of the most challenging problems encountered by orthopaedic surgeons. Open tibia and ankle fractures occur with an incidence of 3.4 per 100,000 and 1.

The Use of 3D-Printed Custom-Made Implants as an Attractive Potential Alternative to the Treatment of Segmental Bone Loss in Foot and Ankle.

The treatment of segmental tibial and ankle bone loss after radical surgery for chronic osteomyelitis is one of the most challenging problems encountered by orthopaedic surgeons [...

Migration of the femoral component and clinical outcomes after total knee replacement: a narrative review.

Loosening is considered as a main cause of implant failure in total knee replacement (TKR). Among the predictive signs of loosening, migration is the most investigated quantitative parameter. Several studies focused on the migration of the tibial component in TKR, while no reviews have been focused on the migration of the femoral component and its influence on patients' clinical outcomes.

Neoadjuvant strategies for pancreatic cancer.

Pancreatic cancer (PC) is the fourth cause of cancer death in Western countries, the only chance for long term survival is an R0 surgical resection that is feasible in about 10%-20% of all cases. Five years cumulative survival is less than 5% and rises to 25% for radically resected patients. About 40% has locally advanced in PC either borderline resectable (BRPC) or unresectable locally advanced (LAPC).

Hepatic colorectal metastases involving infra-hepatic inferior vena cava in high risk patients for extended resection: an alternative method for achieving radical resection in patient with borderline liver remnant.

Resection is the only chance of cure for isolated liver metastases from colorectal cancer. In the case of extended parenchymal resections, one crucial point is the ischemic damage to the remnant liver. We report an alternative technique for extremely extended liver resections without total hilar clamping for borderline liver remnants.
