Revision total hip arthroplasty using a fluted, tapered, modular stem follow-up method for a mean of three years: A preliminary study.

This study aimed to evaluate the results and complications related to revision total hip arthroplasty within a short-to-medium follow up period. From January 2016 to January 2020, we reviewed 31 prosthetic hip arthroplasty stem revisions using a fluted, tapered modular stem with distal fixation. The median age of the patients was 74.

Correlation of serum PTH level and fracture healing speed in elderly patients with hip fracture.

Purpose: To access serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) level in elderly patients with hip fracture in relation to fracture healing outcomes.

Methods: This study included 90 elderly male patients with hip fracture and they were defined as the hip fracture group, and they were divided into healing effective group and delayed healing group by final fracture healing outcomes, 45 cases in each group; another 45 male patients older than 70 years without established osteoporosis and hip fracture were included as the control group. The levels of serum PTH level were examined in each group.
