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.

DAIR (Debridement, Antibiotics and Implant Retention) less effective in hematogenous total knee arthroplasty infections.

Background: Debridement and irrigation with prosthetic retention followed by antibiotic therapy (DAIR) is one of the treatments of choice in acute infections after a total knee arthroplasty. However, the success rate varies widely in the literature, depending on several factors such as comorbidities of the patient, duration of infection, and microorganisms involved. The goal of this study was to assess the outcomes of this therapeutic option and to identify possible predictors of the result.

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.

Chronic Quadriceps Tendon Rupture After Total Knee Arthroplasty Augmented With Synthetic Mesh.

Tear of the quadriceps tendon after revision or primary total knee arthroplasty is a rare complication, but when it occurs, this injury has serious functional consequences. In complete tears, the outcome of direct repair is unpredictable, and several authors recommend that the suture should be reinforced. Several techniques have been described, including the use of autografts, allografts, and synthetic mesh.

Functional and radiological outcome of periprosthetic femoral fractures after hip arthroplasty.

Background: The aim of this study was to determine the functional and radiological results of the treatment of periprosthetic femoral fractures.

Materials And Methods: A review was performed of all periprosthetic femur fractures after a total hip arthroplasty (THA) or hemiarthroplasty (HA) treated at our institution from 1995 to 2011. Functional outcome was assessed in terms of the Harris Hip Score and ambulatory status.

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.
