Functional outcomes and center of rotation restoration in total hip arthroplasty after acetabular fracture: A review of 367 hips.

Background: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) after acetabular fracture is typically performed months or years later for posttraumatic arthritis after initial conservative treatment. But THA can be performed earlier after open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of the fracture. The aim of this study was to determine which strategy is best.

Minimally invasive sacroiliac joint fusion secondary to lumbosacral fusion: Clinical and functional results at 2years of follow-up.

Introduction: Degenerative sacroiliac (SI) joint syndrome is known to be more common after lumbosacral fusion. While this diagnosis is suspected based on various clinical criteria and diagnostic tests, it is confirmed with a diagnostic nerve block. If conservative treatment fails, SI joint fusion through a minimally invasive approach is a useful palliative approach for patients at a treatment crossroads.

One-stage bilateral total hip arthroplasty versus unilateral total hip arthroplasty: A retrospective case-matched study.

Background: One-stage bilateral hip replacement has the advantage of involving a single anesthesia, single hospital admission and single rehabilitation program. The theoretic drawback is increased surgical risk. Few French series have been reported, and none with comparison versus unilateral arthroplasty.

CT-guided fixation of pelvic fractures after high-energy trauma, by interventional radiologists: technical and clinical outcome.

Objective: The aim of our study was to evaluate screw placement accuracy, safety, complications, and clinical outcomes including functional and pain score, in 32 patients treated with CT-guided pelvic ring fixation after high-energy trauma.

Materials And Methods: Consecutive patients who were treated by CT-guided fixation of sacral or acetabular fractures after high-energy trauma were included. All procedures were performed under general anesthesia, with dual CT and fluoroscopic guidance, by interventional radiologists.

First isolation of Clostridium indolis in a patient with chronic osteitis: a case report and literature review of human infections related to Clostridium saccharolyticum group species.

Clostridium indolis is an anaerobic spore-forming Gram-positive bacillus belonging to the Clostridium saccharolyticum group. Its clinical significance in human remains poorly known. We describe the first case of osteitis related to C.
