Cementless medial Oxford unicompartmental knee replacement. Five-year results from an independent series.

Background: Unicompartmental knee replacement (UKR) is a common treatment option for patients with advanced medial compartment knee arthritis. The Oxford UKR (OUKR) is the most commonly used implant for partial knee replacement. A cementless Oxford prosthesis was introduced in 2004 aiming to reduce the revision rate by potentially reducing radiolucencies as well as errors of cementation associated with the cemented prosthesis.

Combined Imhauser osteotomy and osteochondroplasty in slipped capital femoral epiphysis through surgical hip dislocation approach.

Purpose: Treatment of moderate to severe stable slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) remains a challenging problem. Open reduction by modified Dunn procedure carries a considerable risk of osteonecrosis (ON). Imhauser osteotomy is capable of realigning the deformity without the risk of ON, but the remaining metaphyseal bump is implicated with significant chondro-labral lesions and accelerated osteoarthritis.

Discussing sexual activities after total hip arthroplasty.

Background: Hip pathology can affect functions including sexual activity. Sex after hip replacement (SAHR) is an important subject for patients but rarely discussed. A conversation prior to surgery can be difficult to initiate, and appropriate advice is then not given.

Ankle Reconstruction in Fibular Hemimelia: New Approach.

Background: Fibular hemimelia is a congenital disorder that is characterized by the absence of the fibula that could be either partial or complete. Successful management aims to restore normal weight bearing and normal limb length. The introduction of the Ilizarov method of limb lengthening has provided an attractive alternative to amputation.
