Article Synopsis
  • A retrospective study in Burkina Faso from 2004 to 2018 examined 145 dual mobility total hip replacements (THR) in 129 young disabled patients, with a higher prevalence in males averaging 44.57 years old.
  • The most common reasons for THR were avascular necrosis, childhood arthritis complications, and trauma, with all implants being metal-on-polyethylene from Zimmer-Biomet.
  • Overall, outcomes were positive after an average follow-up of 2.70 years, although there was a notable revision rate due to infections and implant misalignment, suggesting potential for THR practices in developing regions with considerations for implant durability and cost.

Introduction: Closed static interlocking nailing with c-arm guidance is the standard procedure for the treatment of closed diaphyseal fractures. In low-income settings, it is still very difficult to carry out such procedures because of few or absent image intensifiers (c-arm) despite the necessity. Authors provide a review of the literature on interlocking intramedullary nailing without fluoroscopy in resource-limited settings, followed by strategies, outcomes, and outlook.

Introduction: Hip arthroplasty and revision surgery are growing exponentially in OECD countries. In developing countries, it is an infrequent intervention and its practice is limited. It is exposed to a higher rate of infectious and mechanical failures than in developed countries.

Article Synopsis
  • Open osteoclasis, soft-tissue release, and fracture reduction were used to treat 10 cases of neglected distal femoral physeal fractures, marking a unique surgical approach not previously reported.
  • The procedure involves an anterolateral surgical approach, disrupting excess fracture callus and carefully disassociating soft tissue to protect the growth plate during realignment.
  • Developed for remote medical settings where injuries are treated late, this technique aims to correct deformities and preserve limb growth, with expected outcomes including reduced malalignment and increased limb length.
