Total Hip Arthroplasty in a Patient with Camurati-Engelmann Disease: A Case Report.

Case: We review the case of a 44-year-old man with Camurati-Engelmann disease, who presented with chronic right hip pain that did not improve following intra-articular hip injections. He was functionally debilitated because of the worsening pain. Routine radiographs demonstrated severe right hip osteoarthritis and severe diaphyseal sclerosis of the femur.

Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty-Reducing Hospital Cost Through Fixed Implant Pricing.

Background: A large component of the cost of revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) is the cost of the implants. We examined the pricing of revision THA implants to determine the possible savings of different pricing models.

Methods: From our institutional database, all revision THAs done from 9/1/2013 to 8/31/2014 were identified.

Hemoptysis Due to Anterior Scoliosis Implants: A Case Report.

Case: A twenty-five-year-old man presented with recurrent episodes of hemoptysis requiring hospitalization and interventional embolization. Instrumentation that had been implanted ten years previously for anterior spinal correction and fusion to treat adolescent idiopathic scoliosis adjoined the medial border of the right lung. The instrumentation eroded the lung during respiration, which prompted the formation of adhesions and fibrosis.
