Supercharging of the ulnar nerve: clinical and neurophysiological assessment at 2 years for nine proximal injuries.

II.

Major nerve injury in association with use of contraceptive implants.

Background: Subcutaneous contraceptive implants are recommended to be placed in the medial upper arm. Here, the implant lies close to important neurovascular structures.

Case Presentation: We have treated two women with ulnar nerve injuries after removal of such implants.

Temperature-dependent autoactivation associated with clinical variability of PDGFRB Asn666 substitutions.

Ocular pterygium-digital keloid dysplasia (OPDKD) presents in childhood with ingrowth of vascularized connective tissue on the cornea leading to severely reduced vision. Later the patients develop keloids on digits but are otherwise healthy. The overgrowth in OPDKD affects body parts that typically have lower temperature than 37°C.

The Charnley stem: clinical, radiological and survival data after 11-14 years.

Background: The Charnley stem provides good outcome for 10 years, but several studies find deteriorating results thereafter. However, study populations, techniques and data analysis vary widely. We have studied 240 Charnley stems in a homogeneous group of patients providing clinical, radiological and survival data after 11-14 years.

No differences in outcomes between cemented and uncemented acetabular components after 12-14 years: results from a randomized controlled trial comparing Duraloc with Charnley cups.

Background: Even though there are multiple studies documenting the outcome of the Charnley low-friction arthroplasty as well as abundant studies on uncemented arthroplasties, there is a dearth of comparative studies of the uncemented acetabular component and a cemented component. In this study we aimed to document the long-term clinical and radiographic outcome as well as component survival in a randomized controlled trial.

Materials And Methods: Two hundred fifteen patients (240 hips) were randomly allocated to receive a cemented Charnley cup or uncemented Duraloc 1200 cup.
