Correlation between preoperative CT scan of the paraspinal, psoas, and gluteus muscles and postoperative ambulatory status in patients with femoral neck fractures.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between femoral neck fractures and sarcopenia.

Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of 92 patients with femoral neck fractures, from September 2017 to March 2020, who were classified into high ambulatory status (HG) and low ambulatory status (LG) groups. Ambulatory status was assessed before surgery, one week after surgery, at discharge, and during the final follow-up.

Minimum 5 year follow-up of clinical and radiographic results of cemented acetabular components with an interface bioactive bone cement technique in primary cemented total hip arthroplasty.

Introduction: A well-fixed cement-bone interface is a crucial factor for acetabular and femoral components in cemented total hip arthroplasty (THA). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the middle-term clinical and radiological results of fixing the acetabular component with an interface bioactive bone cement (IBBC) technique in primary cemented THA.

Materials And Methods: We undertook a retrospective review was undertaken of 193 primary cemented THAs in 174 patients using acetabular components cemented with an IBBC technique and followed for a minimum of 5 years (mean 8.

Natural history of noise and squeaking in cementless ceramic-on-ceramic total hip arthroplasty.

Introduction: Ceramic-on-ceramic (COC) total hip arthroplasty (THA) was developed to reduce wear debris, and consequently the occurrence of osteolysis and aseptic loosening. The purpose of the present study was to determine the incidence and natural history of noise including squeaking after COC THA, and to clarify whether clinical outcomes and any demographic and implant-related factors are associated with noise from these ceramic bearings.

Methods: This was a retrospective observational study of 137 primary COC THAs between 2004 and 2009 at our institute.

Unstable AO/OTA type 31-A1.2 intertrochanteric femur fracture: An unusual case report.

AO/OTA type 31-A1.2 intertrochanteric femoral fractures generally are considered stable intertrochanteric fractures. We report a case of an unstable AO/OTA type 31-A1.

Postoperative migration of the anatomical and functional anteversion angle following total hip arthroplasty with a well-fixed cemented femoral component with line-to-line implantation.

Introduction: Little is known about the association between well-fixed polished tapered cemented stems (PTCS) implanted by the line-to-line technique and changes of stem migration, or the change of functional anteversion of the femur after total hip arthroplasty (THA).

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included 422 two-stage bilateral primary THAs performed using PTCS implanted by the line-to-line technique. CT scans were made on both the target side (first postoperative CT) and on the contralateral side (second postoperative CT) 1 week postoperatively.

Coincidence of HPV11-Positive Urethral Condyloma Acuminatum and HPV-Negative Multiple Bladder Papillomas in a Female.

Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are associated with proliferative lesions in a variety of human epithelial types. A 38-year-old female presented with a diagnosis of urethral condyloma acuminatum. She underwent transurethral resection of the urethral condyloma.
