Challenges and Long-Term Outcomes of Cementless Total Hip Arthroplasty in Patients Under 30: A 24-Year Follow-Up Study with a Minimum 8-Year Follow-Up, Focused on Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip.

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a well-established and effective treatment for advanced osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip joint. While commonly performed in older patients, THA is increasingly used in younger individuals, especially in cases of secondary coxarthrosis. Technological advances have led to the development of specialized implants, which allow surgeons to address severe post-inflammatory or dysplastic deformities.

Lateral femoral impaction fractures during an ACL tear extend posteriorly on the weight-bearing area of the tibiofemoral joint.

Purpose: Posterior elongation of the physiological terminal sulcus (TS) due to lateral femoral condyle impaction fracture (LFC-IF) after an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear could potentially decrease the weight-bearing area of the tibiofemoral joint, decrease the tension on lateral meniscus and cause flattening of the LFC which would influence rotational knee motion and cause anisometry of the lateral and anterolateral stabilizers. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to assess if the LFC-IF elongates the physiological TS posteriorly.

Methods: One hundred patients magnetic resonance images (MRIs) (75 males, 25 females, mean age 32.

A previously unknown variant of the calcaneofibular ligament.

The lateral ankle joint is composed of three ligaments: the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL), posterior talofibular ligament (PTFL) and calcaneofibular ligament (CFL). The ATFL and CFL demonstrate morphological variation, especially regarding their shape and number of bands. During standard anatomical dissection, an unusual type of triple CFL was observed: the CFL was composed of two bands originating on the lateral malleolus, and the presence of a lateral talocalcaneal ligament (LTC) originating on the talus bone.

The quadratus femoris muscle anatomy: Do we know everything?

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to characterize the morphological variations in the quadratus femoris muscle (QF) and to create an anatomical classification that could be used in the planning of surgical procedures in this area, radiological imaging, and rehabilitation.

Materials And Methods: Ninety-two lower limbs from 46 cadavers, fixed in 10 % formalin solution, were examined.

Results: The QF muscle was present in all specimens.
