May 2024
Article Synopsis
- The text discusses a surgical technique for addressing fractures in megaprostheses used in knee replacements, specifically at the junction of the stem and metaphyseal component.
- It describes a case involving a young, active patient with minimal bone loss, where the procedure preserved the existing well-fixed stem.
- The innovative approach utilized a custom-made connection sleeve and standard implant parts, allowing for less invasive surgery, better bone preservation, and quicker recovery compared to more aggressive surgical options.

Background: Tunisian pulmonary functional laboratories accept the default settings for reference equations (European Respiratory Society/European Community for Steel and Coal (ERS/ECSC1983) offered by the manufacturer even though adult Tunisian reference equations (Tunisian1995) are available.
Objective: To compare the spirometric profile of Tunisian subjects, according to the two reference equations.
Population And Methods: Spirometric data were recorded from 1192 consecutive spirometry procedures in adults aged 18-60 years.
Background: The applicability of the recent multi-ethnic reference equations derived by the ERS Global Lung Initiative (ERS/GLI) in interpreting spirometry data in North African adult subjects has not been studied.
Objective: To ascertain how well the recent ERS/GLI reference equations fit contemporary adult Tunisian spirometric data.
Population And Methods: Spirometric data were recorded from 1192 consecutive spirometry procedures in adults aged 18-60 years.
