The personalized Berger method is usable to solve the problem of tibial rotation.

Purpose: The revision of any total knee replacement is carried out in a significant number of cases, due to the excessive internal rotation of the tibial component. The goal was to develop a personalized method, using only the geometric parameters of the tibia, without the femoral guidelines, to calculate the postoperative rotational position of tibial component malrotation within a tolerable error threshold in every case.

Methods: Preoperative CT scans of eighty-five osteoarthritic knees were examined by three independent medical doctors twice over 7 weeks.

An unusual case of hip pain after total hip arthroplasty: A case report.

Our goal is to draw attention to the inflammation of the iliopectineal bursa being a rare condition, which can cause lower limb swelling and anterior pain of the hip even years after total hip arthroplasty. A 67-year-old woman was admitted seven years after hip arthroplasty (cemented total endoprosthesis [TEP]) with swelling and feeling of excessive fullness of the lower extremity and with tolerable anterior hip pain. The physical examination and blood tests were non-specific for septic condition.

[Hip arthroscopy: short-term outcomes].

As a minimally invasive procedure, hip arthroscopy plays an increasingly significant role in the diagnostics and management of hip joint diseases. In this study, we present our initial experience with hip arthroscopy established at our department. Our aim was to integrate the hip arthroscopy procedure into the surgical protocol of our department, since after reviewing the relevant literature and evaluating our experience gained during study visits abroad, we consider this intervention to be a reasonable and successful technique.

Comparison of total knee arthroplasty after combined high tibial osteotomy with a matched group of primary total knee arthroplasty.

Objectives: This study aims to compare the results of total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) performed after previous combined high tibial osteotomy (CO) to those of a matched control group of primary TKA.

Patients And Methods: Between 01 August 2006 and 31 December 2011, we performed 24 consecutive cemented TKAs in 24 patients (10 males, 14 females; mean age 69.5 years; range, 60 to 79 years) who had undergone previous CO (study group).

Evaluation of biomarkers following autologous osteochondral transplantation in the equine stifle joint - An experimental study.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate changes in biomarker and synovial parameters following autologous osteochondral transplantation (AOT) in the equine stifle joint, to test the hypothesis whether synovial parameters would show significant differences at selected time points following the surgery (at days 3, 14, 60 and 180) compared to baseline level (at day 0). Surgical intervention was performed in both stifles of nine horses (n = 18). The joints were randomly assigned to operated and sham-operated groups.

Evaluation of a Novel Screw Position in a Type III Distal Phalanx Fracture Model: An Ex Vivo Study.

Objective: Mechanical evaluation of a novel screw position used for repair in a type III distal phalanx fracture model and assessment of solar canal penetration (SCP).

Study Design: Experimental study.

Sample Population: Disarticulated equine hooves (n = 24) and 24 isolated distal phalanges.

Long-term results of the Sauvé-Kapandji procedure in the rheumatoid wrist.

This retrospective long-term study evaluates the clinical and radiological results of the Sauvé-Kapandji procedure in rheumatoid wrists. Fourteen patients with rheumatoid arthritis who had undergone a Sauvé-Kapandji procedure were examined 10 to 16.5 years after surgery.

Combined high tibial osteotomy decreases biomechanical changes radiologically detectable in the sagittal plane compared with closing-wedge osteotomy.

Purpose: The purpose of this randomized, prospective study was to compare radiologic changes in the sagittal plane after closing-wedge and combined high tibial osteotomies (HTOs) performed in patients with medial knee arthrosis associated with a varus deformity and requiring a 10 degrees correction.

Methods: The patellar height, determined by the Insall-Salvati index (ISI), and tibial slope (TS) angle, measured by the Dejour-Bonnin method, were compared after 45 closing-wedge osteotomy (CWO) and 46 combined osteotomy (CO) procedures. CO is a relatively new technique effectively being the combination of closing-wedge and opening-wedge HTOs.

The patella and tibial condyle position after combined and after closing wedge high tibial osteotomy.

High tibial osteotomy changes the patella and tibial condyle position, which makes the subsequent total knee replacement technically demanding. From 1 January 1993 to 31 December 2000, combined osteotomy [After the first osteotomy made 2 cm distally to the joint line, a bone wedge is removed based laterally. Its tip ends at the center of the tibial condyle (half bone wedge).

Short- and mid-term results after combined high tibial osteotomy.

In a consecutive series, 103 knees were treated with combined osteotomy. From these 103 knees, 80 knees were studied. Mean follow-up was 54.
