In this retrospective study, we analyzed the formation of osteolysis with 2 cementless cups to evaluate if surface holes in metal shells influence the radiographic pattern of osteolysis. At a minimum of 10 years' follow-up, serial radiographs of 112 hips with Arthropor cups (having multiple shell holes) and 126 hips with Anatomic Medullary Locking (AML) cups (with no holes) were reviewed. Despite differences in variables other than cup design that can affect polyethylene wear and osteolysis rates, the incidence of osteolysis between the groups was coincidentally similar (47.3%, Arthropor; 47.6%, AML). The time of onset of osteolysis (mean, 7.5 and 7.4 years) also was similar. The radiographic pattern of the osteolytic lesions, which is largely a factor of cup design, differed. The Arthropor group had significantly larger lesions in Charnley zone I and significantly more hips with retroacetabular lesions (Charnley zones I and II); however, these lesions did not compromise cup stability. Patients with AML cups had more and larger lesions in the greater trochanter.

Primary bone tumours of the jaw are rare tumoral entities and do substantially differ from other bone tumours of the human body with respect of their frequently encountered unusual radiological appearances. The reason for that may be confined to the co-existence of two closely neighbored but different anatomical structures (i.e.

Background: Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty has gained popularity for various shoulder conditions and has evolved over time to accommodate for material changes and design philosophy including inverse materials. The tribological behaviour of shoulder arthroplasty has been extensively studied in relation to biological osteolysis which is a notable concern regarding component loosening.
Methods: This study aims to assess the wear performance of a vitamin E-stabilised glenosphere or conventional ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene glenosphere whilst paired with ceramic or cobalt-chrome-molybdenum inlay in a shoulder joint wear simulator.

Article Synopsis
- * Differentiating between periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) and adverse local tissue reactions (ALTR) is essential for appropriate treatment, but traditional imaging often fails to detect subtle issues that CT scans can reveal.
- * In a study of three knee prosthesis complication cases, distinct patterns of popliteal lymphadenopathy (PLN) were identified via CT, suggesting that PLN characteristics could help diagnose and differentiate between septic and aseptic complications in knee replacement patients.
