Similar stress repartition for a standard uncemented collared femoral stem versus a shortened collared femoral stem.

Introduction: The design of uncemented femoral stems for use in total hip arthroplasty has evolved. Several uncemented short stems have been developed with different bone fixations, shapes, or stem lengths. The literature analyzing the biomechanical performance of short to standard stem lengths is limited.

French Hip & Knee Society classification of short-stem hip prostheses: Inter- and intra-observer reproducibility.

Introduction: In total hip replacement (THR), a short stem theoretically provides more physiological force transfer to the proximal femur, conserves bone stock and facilitates minimally invasive surgery. On the other hand, such implants involve a learning curve and incur risk of malpositioning or fracture and of secondary mobilization. There are several types of short stem, and classification is needed.

Contemporary dual-mobility cup regional and private register: methodology and results.

Introduction: The dual-mobility cup (DMC) was introduced in 1979. Due to lack of referenced publications, this interesting and innovating concept was ignored during close to 20 years. However, 180 studies (level III or IV) have now been published.

Dual-mobility cup in total hip arthroplasty in patients less than fifty five years and over ten years of follow-up : A prospective and comparative series.

Purpose: We report clinical and radiological outcome of a dual mobility cup (DMC) of 2nd generation after a minimum of ten year-follow-up (FU). The goal of this work was to compare the results of this DMC in patients aged less than 55 years and in patients aged more than 55 years.

Methods: From 2000 to 2005, a prospective and consecutive series of 119 THAs with a cementless DMC of 2nd generation (GIROS) were performed in patients aged less than 55 years and 444 in patients aged more than 55 years.

Trans trochanteric approach with coronal osteotomy of the great trochanter: A new technique for extra-capsular trochanteric fracture patients treated by total hip arthroplasty (THA) in elderly.

Several surgical approaches could be used in hip arthroplasty or trauma surgery: anterior, anterolateral, lateral, posterior (with or without trochanterotomy), using or not an orthopedic reduction table. Subtrochanteric and extra-capsular trochanteric fractures (ECTF) are usually treated by internal fixation with mandatory restrictions on weight bearing. Specific complications have been widely described.
