The Dome Technique, an Option for Massive Anterosuperior Medial Acetabular Bone Loss: A Retrospective Case Series.

Background: Acetabular bone loss in revision total hip arthroplasty can be very challenging even for fellowship-trained surgeons. Although it is uncommon, massive anterosuperior medial defects may be encountered, but treatment options have been limited and better ones are needed.

Questions/purposes: The primary purpose of this case series is to describe a novel surgical treatment, which we call the dome technique, that can be used to address these challenging defects.

Preliminary Report: Pediatric Femur Fractures: Single Incision Intramedullary Stabilization Technique.

Background: Pediatric femoral shaft fractures are common injuries that have seen a trend toward surgical stabilization. Traditionally these fractures have been stabilized with flexible intramedullary nails performed through a 2-incision technique. We proposed that a single incision technique would offer equivalent outcomes with the potential for improved cosmesis and a reduced infection risk.
