AI Article Synopsis
- An 8-year-old child suffered avulsions of the left L3, L4, and L5 nerve roots and traumatic meningoceles following a road traffic accident, without any lumbar spine or pelvic fractures.
- The child was found to have left hip dysplasia based on pelvic radiographs.
- The text discusses the connection between lumbar nerve root avulsions and the presence of ipsilateral hip dysplasia, including relevant MRI findings.
Article Abstract
We report on an 8-year-old child with avulsions of the left L3, L4 and L5 nerve roots and traumatic meningoceles that were not associated with lumbar spine or pelvic girdle fractures. The patient had a history of a road traffic accident. Plain radiographs of the pelvis revealed left hip dysplasia. The magnetic resonance imaging findings of the lumbar spine are illustrated. The pathogenesis of lumbar nerve root avulsions and their association with ipsilateral hip dysplasia are discussed.

Component Mix-Match for Anatomic Total Shoulder Arthroplasty Revision: A Case Report.
Cureus
December 2024
Trauma and Orthopaedics, Northampton General Hospital, Northampton, GBR.
Although mixing and matching components is a common, safe, and well-documented practice in hip revision surgery, our extensive search indicates that it has not been previously reported for shoulder arthroplasty. This case report presents the use of mixed implants in shoulder revision surgery to reduce morbidity and address flaws in the initial implant design. We describe a case of a patient with multiple epiphyseal dysplasia who was treated for osteoarthritis in his left shoulder with an anatomic shoulder replacement in 2014.

Hip Int
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Kanazawa Medical University, Kahoku-gun, Ishikawa, Japan.
Purpose: This study introduces a new technique, spherical periacetabular osteotomy (SPO), performed via a para-sartorial intermuscular (PSIM) approach with a bikini incision, aiming to optimise the benefits of SPO, including preservation of muscles and providing cosmetic advantages.
Methods: Overall, 57 joints of 52 patients (mean age 36 ± 17 years) underwent SPO via the PSIM approach. Preoperative osteoarthritis was classified according to Tönnis grade, with 34 and 23 hips categorised as grades 0 and 1, respectively.
Lewinnek zone not "the be-all and end-all" functional planning for acetabular component positioning in total hip arthroplasty.

January 2025
Sant'Andrea Hospital, Faculty of Medicine and Psychology, Sapienza University of Rome, 00162, Rome, Italy.
Background: Proper positioning of a total hip arthroplasty (THA) plays a crucial role in the success and long-term survivorship of the implant. Cup positioning within the Lewinnek Safe Zone (LSZ) does not, however, avoid implant dislocation. Thus, the concept of a functional cup position has been introduced.

Methods: Family-centred outcomes will be identified through a literature review and a scoping survey involving key stakeholders, including parents, healthcare professionals, and researchers. These outcomes will then be rated for their perceived importance in a two-stage modified Delphi process with the same stakeholders.
Introduction And Importance: Neglected posterior hip dislocations in adults are rare, particularly when untreated for years. In developing nations, patients often rely on traditional bone setters, leading to delayed diagnosis and increased complications. Adult hip dislocations carry a higher risk of avascular necrosis and require complex treatments.
