Background: Determination of need for osteochondroplasty (OCP) during periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) commonly relies on intraoperative assessment of internal rotation at 90° flexion (IRF). Performing an OCP helps decrease the risk of iatrogenic femoroacetabular impingement from PAO reduction. Avoiding impingement helps decrease risks of accelerated secondary osteoarthritis.

- Bernese periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is a procedure that helps manage symptoms and slow down degeneration in patients with acetabular dysplasia, but many will eventually need total hip arthroplasty (THA).
- This study aims to analyze the clinical outcomes, complications, and longevity of implants in patients who have THA after previously undergoing ipsilateral PAO.
- The research included a review of 113 THA surgeries, showing significant improvement in patient outcomes post-operation, though 7.1% experienced major complications, with a general trend of early failures occurring around 3.2 years after THA.
This study evaluated the welfare and behaviors of Cobb 700 broilers as affected by growth rate (GR) and stocking density (SD). Slower-growth (weight gain < 50 g/d) and medium-growth (weight gain = 50-60 g/d) broilers were produced by providing 57.1% and 78.

Thus, we investigated long-term survivorship of retained acetabular components in revision THA with analysis of rerevision rate, instability risk, and clinical outcomes.
Methods: We reviewed 98 hips with polyethylene wear and/or osteolysis that were revised with retained acetabular components.
Background: Highly cross-linked polyethylene (HXLPE) is a widely used bearing surface in total hip arthroplasty (THA); long-term results in young patients are limited. We previously demonstrated excellent results in HXPLE on cobalt-chrome femoral heads at 15-year mean follow-up. The purpose of the present study was to investigate polyethylene wear rates, implant survivorships, wear-related revisions, and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in a young patient cohort who had alumina ceramic on HXPLE coupling at an average 16-year follow-up.

- Residual Legg-Calvé-Perthes (LCP) deformities are difficult hip disorders, often requiring surgery to correct issues like instability and impingement; this study examines the effectiveness of a combined surgical approach in addressing these complex problems.
- Out of 31 hips treated with combined surgical dislocation and periacetabular osteotomy, 85% remained functional without needing total hip replacement after an average follow-up of 8.4 years, showing promising intermediate-term results.
- Patient-reported outcomes improved significantly post-surgery, with the modified Harris hip score and WOMAC pain scores demonstrating substantial gains, while some ongoing symptoms were reported in a small percentage of cases.
