Management of femoral head fracture by Ganz surgical dislocation of the hip.

Introduction: Posterior hip dislocation is the commonest type of hip dislocation. It is associated with femoral head fracture in 7% of cases. Urgent and congruent hip reduction is mandatory to improve clinical outcomes and avoid irreversible complications.

One sacroiliac screw for posterior ring fixation in unstable pelvic fractures.

Unstable pelvic injuries are considered uncommon and they are usually associated with high rate of morbidity and mortality. High energy blunt trauma and falling from height are usually the main mechanism of injury. It is a retrospective study that was performed in academic level I trauma center.

Modified Stoppa Approach for the Treatment of Complex Acetabular Fractures.

Complex acetabular fractures are due to high-energy trauma in most cases. The operative management of these types of fractures is often difficult and technically challenging. Almost all of these types of fractures are treated through extensile approaches, and a variety of them have been described.

Repair of Traumatic Avulsed Achilles Tendon using Double Cerclage Trans-calcaneal Stainless Steel Sutures: Prospective Study and Review of Literature.

Introduction: Achilles sleeve avulsion results in a direct disruption of the triceps surae-calcaneal complex from its insertion. It represents a surgical challenge to all orthopedic surgeons as a little tissue is available for direct repair of the achilles tendon into its insertion. Methods of fixation include suturing of the avulsed bone fragment, screw fixation, tension band wiring and suture anchors.

Cementless total hip arthroplasty in the treatment after acetabular fractures.

Introduction: The outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA) for the treatment of posttraumatic arthritis after acetabular fractures were inferior to those after primary non-traumatic THA.

Methods: This study was performed in academic level I trauma center. From January 2011 to December 2014, a consecutive series of 21 patients (9 females), with average age of 56.

Simultaneous open reduction and internal fixation and total hip arthroplasty for the treatment of osteoporotic acetabular fractures.

Introduction: Surgical treatment of acetabular fractures in elderly people is challenging. The main aim of this study is to evaluate retrospectively the indications, results and the complications of simultaneous open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) and acute total hip replacement (THR) in the management of displaced acetabular fractures.

Methods: This study was performed in an academic level I trauma centre.

Medial pivot knee in primary total knee arthroplasty.

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with a medial pivot design was developed in order to mimic normal knee kinematics; the highly congruent medial compartment implant should improve clinical results and decrease contact stresses. Clinical and radiographic mid-term outcomes are satisfactory, but we need other studies to evaluate long-term results and indications for unusual cases.
