Aims: The Peri-Implant and PeriProsthetic Survival AnalysiS (PIPPAS) study aimed to investigate the risk factors for one-year mortality of femoral peri-implant fractures (FPIFs).
Methods: This prospective, multicentre, observational study involved 440 FPIF patients with a minimum one-year follow-up. Data on demographics, clinical features, fracture characteristics, management, and mortality rates were collected and analyzed using both univariate and multivariate analyses.
Purpose: This study aimed to assess the long-term results of THA patients who received a cementless short stem regarding clinical outcomes, bone changes, complications, and incidence of femoral revision.
Methods: A retrospective evaluation of the first 100 THA employing a type 2B cementless stem (Mini hip stem, Corin, Cirencester, United Kingdom) by the same surgeon at one institution. We only include patients with 18 years or more, and with a minimum follow up of 8 years.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates which antibacterial solutions are most effective in eradicating biofilms formed by staphylococcal bacteria on titanium surfaces during DAIR surgery.
- Five antibacterial agents are tested: povidone-iodine, rifampicin, silver nitrate, copper sulphate, and chlorhexidine, focusing on their minimum biofilm eradication concentrations (MBEC) against both MSSA and MRSA strains.
- Results indicate that povidone-iodine and silver nitrate are significantly more effective, achieving at least 99.9% reduction in biofilm, compared to others like rifampicin and copper sulphate, which showed limited effectiveness.
Hip arthroscopy is a rapidly evolving field in orthopedics, offering diagnostic and therapeutic benefits for a range of hip pathologies. This review outlines a comprehensive guide to initiating hip arthroscopy safely and effectively using evidence-based practices. Optimal surgical outcomes depend on correct indications for surgery, in particular in the presence of borderline dysplasia and degenerative joint diseases.
