[Use of frozen osteochondral allograft for the treatment of cartilage defects of the knee. Results at seven-year follow-up].

Introduction: Knee osteochondral lesions represent a frequent pathology within young active patients. One possible indication for severe lesions or in case of impossibility of harvesting an autograft is the use of fresh frozen allograft. The objective of this study was to retrospectively analyze functional results and failure rate after osteochondral transplants using fresh frozen allografts.

Intraoperative unfractionated heparin before femoral component cementation should be avoided in femoral neck fracture treated with hybrid total hip arthroplasty.

Purpose: To compare the incidence of perioperative thromboembolic events in femoral neck fracture (FNF) patients treated with hybrid total hip arthroplasty (THA) with intraoperative unfractionated heparin (UFH) versus a control group without intraoperative UFH before femoral component cementation.

Methods: We compared 139 cases without UFH (group A) versus 134 who received 10 UI/kg UFH (group B). Indication of UFH before cementation depended on the preferences of the anaesthesiologists in each case.

[Septic hip arthritis after a closed acetabulum fracture treated conservatively. Case report].

Necrotizing fasciitis is a life-threatening infection. Inmediate diagnosis and treatment are essential. Acetabulum fractures are a frequent identity in older adults today, associated with low-energy trauma.

Impaction Bone Grafting for Severe Femoral Bone Loss: Surgical Technique in Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty.

Unlabelled: Revision total hip arthroplasty in the setting of extensive femoral bone loss poses a considerable challenge to the adult reconstructive surgeon. When the proximal femoral bone stock is deficient or absent, there are few options for reconstruction. In such cases, treatment options include distal cementless fixation (either modular or nonmodular), impaction bone grafting (IBG), a megaprosthesis, or even an allograft-prosthesis composite.
