The aim of this study was to present the mid-term results of ultra-short cementless stem total hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients with Crowe type II developmental dysplasia of the hip. The study consists of 68 patients (75 THAs) with a Proxima stem implanted between 2006 and 2015. The clinical results include Harris Hip Scores.

The aim of this study is to present the results of single-stage total hip arthroplasty (THA) after Dynamic Hip Screw (DHS) failure, or secondary posttraumatic osteoarthrosis. From 2003 to 2020, 15 THAs were performed in group of 15 patients for the treatment of DHS failure, or for late complications following femoral neck and pertrochanteric fractures. The mean follow-up period after arthroplasty was 46.

In this retrospective analysis, we focus on comparison of functional and clinical outcome in patients undergoing unilateral and bilateral replacement within a single surgical procedure.
Methods: 54 patients (bilateral 19, unilateral 35) underwent total knee replacement in our clinic participated in the current study.
The aim of this study was to present the midterm results of total hip arthroplasty with ultra-short anatomical cementless stem in the primary treatment of displaced intracapsular femoral neck fractures in patients younger 60 years. From 2006 to 2015, 17 hip arthroplasties (with the Proxima stem) were performed in group of 17 patients for the treatment of acute femoral neck fractures Garden type III and IV. The mean follow-up period was 112.

Our hypothesis was that the use of the Kinematics-Retaining design of an TKA implant leads to a significantly greater improvement in the active range of motion and better functional results (KSS 1, KSS 2 and WOMAC score) than the conventional CR implant at short-term follow-up.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analysed data of 234 patients who underwent primary TKA at our hospital from April 2010 to August 2015 with the CR type of implant and from July 2014 to August 2015 with the KR implant due to advanced knee arthrosis of IIIrd and IVth grade of Kellgren-Lawrence classification, with no major ligamentous instability.
