A prospective study of 93 unicompartmental knee prosthesis emphasises the appearance of radiolucencies under the tibial component.

Background And Study Aims: Here, we report the presence of radiolucent lines in a consecutive group of 93 partial knee replacements (UKA).

Materials And Methods: The prospective study was conducted from 2011 to 2019 with a minimum follow-up of two years. Clinical data and radiographs were recorded.

Insertion of intramedullary nails from the suprapatellar pouch for proximal tibial shaft fractures. A technical note.

Intramedullary nailing of proximal tibial fractures can be difficult when using the standard entry portal. We evaluated the suprapatellar portal, using a midline quadriceps tendon incision, to perform intramedullary nailing of the tibia. Seven patients were treated with this adaptation of the standard intramedullary nailing procedure.

Lower leg replantation--decision-making, treatment, and long-term results.

Object: The aim of this article is to review the results of replantation at the lower leg after total and subtotal amputation injury. Although subtotal and total lower leg amputations have been successfully replanted in the past, nowadays there is a common opinion that these operations do not justify their efforts, and therefore most of those patients are amputated.

Methods: To clarify this hypothesis we carried out an extensive literature research.
