Feasibility of automated surveillance of implantable devices in orthopaedics via clinical data warehouse: the Studio study.

Background: Total hip, knee and shoulder arthroplasties (THKSA) are increasing due to expanding demands in ageing population. Material surveillance is important to prevent severe complications involving implantable medical devices (IMD) by taking appropriate preventive measures. Automating the analysis of patient and IMD features could benefit physicians and public health policies, allowing early issue detection and decision support.

Aggressive granulomatous pseudotumor following total hip prosthesis: Diagnostic and therapeutic strategies from a single institution experience.

Introduction: Granuloma formation following total hip arthroplasty (THA) can occur regardless of the bearing surface. In very rare cases, extensive granulomas mimicking tumors may develop which are known as pseudotumors. The aim of this study is to report on these rare yet complex situations to stimulate reflection in diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.

Buried de-epithelialized flap: An original solution to fill dead space after sarcoma resection in the thigh. Surgical technique and results of 12 cases.

Introduction: Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are often treated with wide excision in combination with adjuvant or neoadjuvant radiotherapy. This is currently the gold standard procedure for the treatment of STS that arise in the extremities. Wound healing complications frequently occur and negatively affect the prognosis.
