Mid to long-term survivorship of hip arthroplasty in patients 40 years and younger.

Background: Etiology of hip osteoarthritis (OA) and survival of hip arthroplasty in the young (below 40-years-old) remains poorly described. Furthermore, joint survivorship mid to long-term and PROMs according to the etiology are unclear. The study aims were to 1) identify the indications for arthroplasty in the below 40-years-old cohort; 2) define hip arthroplasty outcomes in the young and 3) test whether patients with sequelae of pediatrics hip disease have inferior outcome compared to other patients.

The relationship of pain catastrophizing with postoperative patient-reported outcome measures in adults with pre-arthritic hip disease.

The association between preoperative pain catastrophizing and postoperative patient-reported outcome measures of patients with pre-arthritic hip disease was evaluated. All patients scheduled for joint-preserving surgeries of the hip (JPSH) at our institution were approached. Patient demographics (age, sex, body mass index (BMI)), pain intensity (Numeric Pain Scale (NPS)) and pain catastrophizing (Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS)) were collected preoperatively.

Outcome of hip resurfacing revision through the Hueter-anterior approach.

Background: The Hueter-Anterior Approach (HAA) with its limited soft tissue and internervous dissection has been shown to be an effective approach for primary total hip and hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcome of patients requiring revision of HRA to total hip replacement using the HAA, assessing function and complications.

Methods: We performed a retrospective review of a prospectively maintained research database.

Radiographic, Functional, and Oncologic Outcomes of Cemented Modular Proximal Femur Replacement Using the "French Paradox" Technique.

Background: Endoprostheses are frequently used in the management of tumors involving the proximal femur. Aseptic loosening is a common complication that has been linked to the cementing technique. The "French paradox" is well-known cementing technique in the arthroplasty literature.

Publication Rates and Author Characteristics From 3 Plastic Surgery Journals in 2006 and 2016.

Background: Areas of surgical care in which, traditionally, plastic surgeons were exclusively involved are now routinely offered by other surgical specialists. Whether this shift in clinical responsibilities influenced publication rates of plastic surgeons remains unknown. The current article investigates the proportion of contributions in plastic surgery journals originating from authors with a plastic surgery background as well as publication rates and author demographics.
