Purpose: The aim of the present study was to assess outcomes of using the push-through total femoral prothesis (PTTF) for revision total hip replacement with extreme bone loss.
Methods: 10 consecutive patients who received PTTF between 2012 and 2018 for revision hip arthroplasty were included in the study. Primary functional outcomes were assessed using Harris Hip Score (HHS), Toronto Extremity Salvage Score (TESS) and Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) scores.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on assessing the improvement in functionality for patients with pelvic and sacral bone metastases following a combined treatment of RF ablation and cementoplasty.
- Twenty patients over 18 years old with at least one month of follow-up were analyzed, using VAS, KP, and MSTS scores to evaluate outcomes.
- Results showed significant pain reduction and performance improvement post-surgery, with some complications (cement leakage) observed but without severe symptoms; functional gains were highlighted as important for this region's unique surgical challenges.
Purpose: Duodenal/pancreatic injuries occur in less than 10% of intra-abdominal injuries in pediatric blunt trauma. Isolated duodenal/pancreatic injuries occur in two-thirds of cases, while combined injuries occur in the remaining. This study aimed to investigate pediatric patients with pancreatic and duodenal trauma.

Methods: Eighteen young age male New Zealand rabbits were studied: five in the control (Group I, =5), five in the penile surgery without using electrocautery (sham group, Group II, =5), eight in the monopolar cautery (study group, Group III, =8) groups under general anesthesia.
Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the functional outcomes and complications after non-fusion knee arthrodesis with a modular segmental intramedullary implant used for infected total knee arthroplasty revisions.
Methods: A retrospective review of the patients who had been surgically treated with a modular intramedullary arthrodesis implant for recurrent infection after revision TKA between January 2016 and February 2020 were included. The indications for arthrodesis were failed infected TKA with massive bone loss, deficient extensor mechanism and poor soft tissue coverage that precluded joint reconstruction with revision TKA implants.
