Eleven hips of 10 patients with Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) were examined by arthrography and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Arthrogram and MR images were obtained with the hips in neutral position and in 20 degrees flexion-abduction and internal rotation. Modified arthrographic index (AI) was used for the evaluation of sphericity and acetabulum head index (AHI) was used for the assessment of containment. According to AI, there is no significant difference between the arthrograms and coronal MR imaging, but the difference between the coronal and sagittal MR imaging was significant. There was no statistical difference between the arthrograms and MR measurements in terms of AHI. Anterior flattening of the femoral head and the effect of hip flexion in the containment at the sagittal plane could be demonstrated clearly in sagittal MR imaging. Even if there was significant flattening in coronal plane, the sphericity of the head was preserved in the sagittal plane. Bipositional MR imaging is comparable to arthrography for the demonstration of sphericity and containment of the femoral head in both coronal and sagittal planes in LCPD.

Background: Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a condition caused by abnormal contact between the femur head and the acetabulum, which damages the labrum and articular cartilage. While the prevalence and the type of impingement may vary across human groups, the variability among populations with short height or with a high prevalence of overweight has not yet been explored. Latin American studies have rarely been conducted in reference to this condition, including the Mayan and mestizo populations from the Yucatan Peninsula.

The prototype of a biomimetic multi-spiked connecting scaffold (MSC-Scaffold) represents an essential innovation in the fixation in subchondral trabecular bone of components for a new generation of entirely cementless hip resurfacing arthroplasty (RA) endoprostheses. In designing such a functional biomaterial scaffold, identifying the microstructural and mechanical properties of the host bone compromised by degenerative disease is crucial for proper post-operative functioning and long-term maintenance of the endoprosthesis components. This study aimed to explore, depending on the occurrence of obesity, changes in the microstructure and mechanical properties of the subchondral trabecular bone in femoral heads of osteoarthritis (OA) patients caused by the MSC-Scaffold embedding.

An obturator hernia (OH) is a rare type of hernia that accounts for a very small proportion of all hernias and cases of small bowel obstruction. This condition predominantly affects older, underweight individuals, with the vast majority of patients being women. Laparotomy with simple suture closure of the defect is commonly used as surgical treatment for OH.

Background: While the surgical treatment of mandibular stage 3 medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is well-documented, research on maxillary stage 3 MRONJ is limited. Antiresorptive medications can induce MRONJ and atypical femoral fracture (AFF), but their impact on the feasibility of using fibula flaps for reconstruction remains controversial. This study aimed to assess the surgical outcomes and functional recovery of fibula flap reconstruction for maxillary stage 3 MRONJ, considering both recipient and donor site outcomes.

The growth of periacetabular osteophytes with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) remains unclear. This study aimed to perform a three-dimensional assessment of periacetabular osteophytes and the effects of superiorization (SP) and lateralization (LT) of the femoral head on osteophyte formation. Female (n = 105) with unilateral hip osteoarthritis due to DDH who underwent total hip arthroplasty between 2016 and 2022 were included.
