Knee osteoarthritis associated with extra-articular deformity treated by total knee arthroplasty plus simultaneous corrective osteotomy.

Background And Objective: Correct mechanical limb alignment is crucial in Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) and is particularly difficult to achieve when the knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is associated with an Extra-Articular Deformity (EAD). Our objective is to present a surgical option in cases of severe knee arthritis associated with an EAD (indications, mechanical planning and surgical technique), pros and cons and discuss the results with this one-stage technique.

Material And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all cases of severe KOA associated with EAD treated surgically in our institution from 2010-2016.

[Translated article] Bone lengthening with magnetic nails. Experience in patients younger than 18.

Background And Goal: Bone elongation with magnetic endomedullary nails (MEN) has been proposed as an advantageous alternative to other techniques, by eliminating the drawbacks of external fixation. The aim of this work is to analyse the results and assess the complications in a series of patients under the age of 18.

Material And Methods: From 2014 to 2019, 31 elongations (23 femurs, 8 tibias) using MEN (Precice2®) have been performed in 28 patients younger than 18 (15 males and 13 females).

Salvage Procedures of the Shoulder: Glenohumeral Arthrodesis and Resection Arthroplasty.

Background: With the advances of modern medicine and technology there has been an increase of indications of shoulder reconstruction techniques and shoulder arthroplasty. Consequently, the number of complications and failures have increased in parallel. Not negligible number of cases are driven to an end-stage situation where salvage procedures, such as glenohumeral arthrodesis (GHA) and shoulder resection arthroplasty (SRA), are the only remaining solution.

Atraumatic Anterior Hip Dislocation as High Grade of Hip Instability: A Case Report.

Case: Fifty-year-old woman who presented an atraumatic anterior hip dislocation during a local traditional dance exhibition. The dislocation occurred during a dance step in which extreme hip position in extension and external rotation was held. After urgent closed reduction under general anesthesia, the patient underwent conservative management with a follow-up of 24 months.
