Gluteus Medius Repair using a Gluteus Maximus Flap Augmented with Synthetic Polyethylene Mesh: Surgical Technique and Case Series.

Introduction: Gluteus medius tendon tears may not be feasible for direct repair when significant retraction or fatty degeneration is present. Several augmentation techniques have been reported for challenging cases. We describe a novel technique using a transfer of the anterior portion of the gluteus maximus combined with synthetic mesh to reinforce the direct suture of the gluteus medius.

Dual-mobility cups in total hip arthroplasty after femoral neck fractures: A retrospective study comparing outcomes between cemented and cementless fixation.

Introduction: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) after femoral neck fracture (FNF) is associated with an increased risk of dislocation. The goals of our study were (1) to determine dislocation and revision rates when dual-mobility cups (DMCs) are used in these patients, (2) to analyze clinical and radiographic outcomes, survivorship, complications and mortality rate, and (3) to compare results between cemented and cementless cups.

Patients And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients with FNF treated using DMC-THA between 2011 and 2018.

Revision hip arthroplasty with a rectangular tapered cementless stem: a retrospective study of the SLR-Plus stem at a mean follow-up of 4.1 years.

Purpose: Demand for revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) is growing, and this type of surgery remains challenging for orthopedic surgeons. Our objectives were to assess clinical and radiographic outcomes, survivorship and complications with the SLR-Plus stem in revision THA.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 65 patients (66 hips) who had undergone revision THA with the SLR-Plus stem between 2008 and 2015 at two medical institutions with a minimum 2-year follow-up.

Cementation of a dual-mobility cup into a well-fixed cementless shell in patients with high risk of dislocation undergoing revision total hip arthroplasty.

Background: Cementation of polyethylene liners into well-fixed cementless metal shells has become an option during revision total hip arthroplasty (THA). We report the results of cementing a dual-mobility (DM) component into a stable acetabular shell in high-risk patients undergoing revision THA.

Methods: A single-centre series of 10 patients undergoing revision THA with a DM cup cemented into an existing well-fixed shell between 2012 and 2016 were retrospectively reviewed.

Debridement, Antibiotics and Implant Retention for Early Periprosthetic Infections of the Hip: Outcomes and Influencing Factors.

Purpose: Debridement, antibiotics and implant retention (DAIR) is commonly performed and widely accepted for the treatment of acute infections following hip arthroplasty. The aims of this study were to: i) determine the DAIR success rate in treating acute postoperative and hematogenous periprosthetic infections of the hip at a tertiary hospital, ii) identify possible outcome predictors, and iii) analyze clinical and radiological outcomes.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed cases of acute postoperative (≤3 months from index procedure) and hematogenous periprosthetic infections following total hip arthroplasty treated with DAIR at our hospital between 2004 and 2015.

Outcomes of Vancouver B2 and B3 periprosthetic femoral fractures after total hip arthroplasty in elderly patients.

Introduction:: The objective was to evaluate clinical and radiological outcomes of Vancouver B2 and B3 periprosthetic femoral fractures in patients older than 65 years treated at our institution from 2000 to 2014. We compared the most common methods of fixation: a modular tapered rectangular titanium stem versus a monoblock tapered stem.

Methods:: A retrospective review was performed with a minimum follow-up time of 2 years.

Medium-term outcomes of the S-ROM modular femoral stem in revision hip replacement.

Introduction: The objective of this study was to analyse results achieved with the S-ROM modular stem in revision surgery.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted from 2007 to 2015 including 51 patients who had a follow-up of ≥ 2 years and complete medical history. The mean age was 66.

The Pelvic Digit: A Rare Congenital Anomaly as a Cause of Hip Pain.

Introduction: The pelvic digit or pelvic rib is an unusual congenital anomaly with a finger or rib like bone formation in soft tissues around normal pelvic skeleton. This is a benign lesion and mostly an Incidental finding on radiographs. Most reported cases are asymptomatic and do not require intervention.
