Inferior angle of scapula fractures: a review of literature and evidence-based treatment guidelines.

Background: Inferior angle of scapula (IAS) fractures are rare, with very few cases reported. They typically present with pain, loss of shoulder motion, and scapula winging. Operative and nonoperative treatments have been trialed with varying success.

Tibial stem tip pain in stemmed revision total knee arthroplasty: treatment with tension band plating.

The use of stemmed modular components in revision total knee arthroplasty has led to increasingly described pain located at the tip of the stem of the implant. This has been described in the literature as being due to the elastic modulus mismatch between the stem tip and the host bone. Current management is re-revision total knee arthroplasty in an attempt to alleviate the mismatch.

Granuloma debridement and the use of an injectable calcium phosphate bone cement in the treatment of osteolysis in an uncemented total knee replacement.

Polyethylene particulate debris-induced periprosthetic osteolysis is a known complication of knee arthroplasty surgery, and may result in the need for revision surgery. The management of these bony defects can be surgically challenging, and full revisions of well-fixed total knee components can lead to substantial bone loss. We present the case of a 71 year old man who developed knee pain and osteolysis around an uncemented total knee replacement.

Adductor tenotomy: its role in the management of sports-related chronic groin pain.

Patients And Methods: Chronic adductor-related groin pain in athletes is debilitating and is often challenging to treat. Little is published on the surgical treatment when conservative measures fail. This single center study reviews the outcomes of 48 patients (68 groins) who underwent percutaneous adductor tenotomy for sports-related chronic groin pain.

Chronic asymptomatic dislocation of a total hip replacement: a case report.

Introduction: Dislocation of a prosthetic hip is the second most common complication after thromboembolic disease in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty, with an incidence reported as 0.5 to 20%. Although the period of greatest risk for dislocation has been reported to be within the first few months after surgery, late dislocation occurs more commonly then previously thought.
