Introduction: The design of uncemented femoral stems for use in total hip arthroplasty has evolved. Several uncemented short stems have been developed with different bone fixations, shapes, or stem lengths. The literature analyzing the biomechanical performance of short to standard stem lengths is limited.

On the other hand, such implants involve a learning curve and incur risk of malpositioning or fracture and of secondary mobilization. There are several types of short stem, and classification is needed.

We investigated oxygen consumption before (baseline), during (first 600 s of exposure) and after anesthesia (recovery) of octopuses ( = 98; 1.67 ± 0.

The goal of this work was to compare the results of this DMC in patients aged less than 55 years and in patients aged more than 55 years.
Methods: From 2000 to 2005, a prospective and consecutive series of 119 THAs with a cementless DMC of 2nd generation (GIROS) were performed in patients aged less than 55 years and 444 in patients aged more than 55 years.
Several surgical approaches could be used in hip arthroplasty or trauma surgery: anterior, anterolateral, lateral, posterior (with or without trochanterotomy), using or not an orthopedic reduction table. Subtrochanteric and extra-capsular trochanteric fractures (ECTF) are usually treated by internal fixation with mandatory restrictions on weight bearing. Specific complications have been widely described.

Lipoma arborescens is an uncommon pseudo-tumoral synovial lesion usually located in the suprapatellar pouch of the knee. This diagnosis should be considered, particularly in patients with chronic joint effusion.

Material And Methods: This construct is called "Modular construct" or "2 H.S.
Thirteen subjects were randomly selected and embalmed according to Winckler's technique. After removal of the vertebral column and the head in one block the specimens were frozen. Transverse transpedicular cuts were performed at C6, T1, T6, L1, L3, and L5.

Group I contained 75 patients aged under 80 years and group II 62 patients aged over 80 years. Risk factors and previous history were equally distributed in the two groups.
