Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the mid-term results of treating complex radial head fractures and compare the effectiveness of open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) versus radial head arthroplasty (RHA).
- A total of 84 patients with Mason type III fractures underwent surgery; they were matched based on characteristics and evaluated over an average of 4.1 years using various performance scores for the elbow.
- Results showed that ORIF led to significantly better range of motion and functional scores compared to RHA, though complication rates were similar between both groups, indicating that ORIF should be the primary approach when a stable reconstruction is possible.
Background: In severe periprosthetic joint infection after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), multistage procedures are indicated for ongoing signs of infection after implant removal during the spacer interval of an intended 2-stage exchange. In these cases, several additional debridement and spacer exchange surgeries may be necessary. Herein, we analyzed the complications, remission rates, and functional outcomes after multistage revision arthroplasty using hinged TKAs.

Up to now, there is no valuable data regarding risk factors that lead to poor post-operative outcome after surgical reconstruction of complex elbow fracture-dislocations.
Methods: From 06/2010 to 12/2020 134 patients (51.
Background: The aims of this study were to evaluate the outcomes of a single type of radial head implant in a large cohort of patients at mid-term follow-up and to determine the associated risk factors for inferior functional outcomes.
Methods: We performed a retrospective follow-up assessment of 65 patients (33 women and 32 men; mean age, 53.3 years [range, 22-81 years]) who underwent radial head arthroplasty (RHA) for acute trauma between 2012 and 2018, after a minimum follow-up period of 3 years.
Purpose: Non-union of the proximal ulna is a serious complication after surgical treatment of olecranon and complex elbow fractures, frequently leading to poor functional outcome. To date, there is a lack of data regarding optimal treatment strategies and functional outcome parameters after surgical revision.
Methods: From 02/2010 to 12/2018, 31 patients undergoing surgical treatment of proximal ulna non-union could be included.
Background: Post-contrast acute kidney injury (AKI) is a dreaded complication of endovascular revascularization using iodinated contrast medium in patients with peripheral artery disease and concomitant chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study sought to evaluate the incidence of AKI in patients with peripheral artery disease and CKD undergoing endovascular revascularization and using carbon dioxide (CO) as contrast medium.
Methods And Results: From 04/2015 to 07/2018, all consecutive peripheral artery disease patients with CKD stage ≥ 3 referred for endovascular revascularization of symptomatic peripheral artery disease were prospectively included.
