Survival at 11 to 21 years for 779 Metasul® metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasties.

Background: Total hip arthroplasties (THAs) bearing is one of the most important factors for hip replacement because THA survival depends on it. Metal-on-metal (MoM) bearing has lower wear than metal-on-polyethylene but lot of aseptic loosening decrease utilization. We analyze the survival rate of 28 mm Metasul® bearings after a mean follow-up of 12.

Short stems reproduce femoral offset better than standard stems in total hip arthroplasty: a case-control study.

Introduction: In total hip arthroplasty (THA), altering the original offset can lead to poor outcome or even complications or revision when the changes are too great. The aim of the present study was to compare femoral offset between short and standard stems. The hypothesis was that the short stems studied provide better control of post-operative femoral offset.

Pyogenic tenosynovitis of the flexor hallucis longus in a healthy 11-year-old boy: a case report and review of the literature.

Pyogenic tenosynovitis of the flexor hallucis longus (FHL) is a rare condition in young healthy patients. We report the case of a healthy 11-year-old boy who presented with a history of fever and painful swelling below the medial malleolus of the left ankle. Imaging and laboratory findings suggested infectious tenosynovitis of the FHL.
