This study aims to compare the proximal femoral bone density changes in follow-up X-ray imaging and the proximal filling ratios of stems between anatomical and double-tapered wedge stem designs. Patients aged between 18 and 80 years who received primary total hip arthroplasty using both types of stems between 2017 and 2019 and had follow-up tests for up to a year were included in the study. Canal filling ratios at 3 levels (lesser trochanter [LT], 2 cm above LT, and 7 cm below LT) using the optimal densitometry method.

The use of structural allografts and various sizes of grain allografts has been proposed as an alternative surgical technique for treating Paprosky type 3 acetabular defects. This study aimed to evaluate the long-term outcomes and potential complications associated with this approach.

Various techniques have been employed to optimize pain reduction, including Periarticular Multimodal Analgesia (PMA), recognized as a safe and effective method. Our study aims to enhance PMA through a combined intraosseous injection (PMA-I) and compare it with standard PMA.

Objective: To compare pre- and post-operative talar tilt and ankle clinical assessment after computer-assisted total knee arthroplasty (CAS-TKA) and conventional total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in the 56 knees of 28 patients who underwent bilateral TKA.
