Mid-term outcomes of tantalum cup- a single centre study.

Introduction: The cementless acetabular implants are commonly used in primary and revision hip arthroplasty. Reconstruction of acetabulum in case of bone defects can be challenging. The aims of this single center study are to review the mid-term outcomes of porous tantalum cups (TM) and evaluate complications.

Outcomes following non-operatively managed periprosthetic fractures surrounding uncemented femoral stems.

Background: The primary aim of this study was to explore the outcomes of Vancouver B periprosthetic hip fractures that were managed non-operatively with a particular focus on 1-year mortality. Understanding this mortality data will allow surgeons to better understand the risk associated with non-operative management. The secondary aim was to evaluate our case series and current literature with regards to identifying suitable patients for non-operative treatment.

Comparision of blood loss between computer assisted and conventional total knee arthroplasty.

Background: Bleeding during total knee arthroplasty (TKA) can cause significant morbidity and mortality. One proposed benefit of computer assisted TKA is decreased bleeding as the femoral canal is not invaded. This study assessed blood loss between computer assisted surgery (CAS) and conventional TKA.

Breast cancer bone metastasis in femur: surgical considerations and reconstruction with Long Gamma Nail.

Aim: The femur is the most common long bone involved in metastatic breast cancer. Several studies have been published on the surgical management of metastatic disease of the femur. However, only few studies have been published specifically on the outcomes following reconstruction of femoral metastasis from breast cancer using a third generation intramedullary nail.
