Outcomes of Dual Mobility Versus Fixed-Bearing Components in Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: Dual mobility (DM) implants have received increasing interest in revision surgery due to their increased stability. The aim of this systematic review was to compare outcomes of DM versus conventional fixed-bearing (FB) implants in revision total hip arthroplasty (rTHA).

Methods: A comprehensive search was performed using the PubMed, Embase, and MEDLINE databases between January 2000 and 2023.

Bone cement in total hip arthroplasty - Is it really green?

Background: Total hip replacement (THR)is typically cemented, cementless or hybrid depending on patient factors and surgeon preference. To date no studies have evaluated waste generated with each of these procedures in relation to implant choice, and particularly waste related to consumables. We aimed to quantify the volume; type and ability to recycle this waste and suggest potential strategies for reducing the overall waste related to consumables in THR.

Open Subpectoral Tenodesis for Isolated Traumatic Long Head of Biceps Tendon Rupture Provides Excellent Functional Outcomes in Active Male Patients.

Background:  For many years the long head of biceps tendon (LHBT) rupture has been described and is commonly identified by weakness, cramping, and the so-called "Popeye" sign. Traditionally, this was treated non-operatively, likely reflecting patient factors and the technical difficulty in reattaching a degenerative and shortened tendon. In contrast, traumatic distal biceps rupture is now commonly repaired despite historically being managed non-operatively.
