Large deficiencies of the metaphysis and proximal diaphysis present a significant challenge to the orthopaedic surgeon undertaking revision of failed total hip arthroplasty. Proximal femoral allograft-prosthetic reconstruction may enable revision in such situations. Secure fixation is essential to successful integration and function of these allograft-prosthetic constructs. We report our experience in 7 revision total hip arthroplasties in 5 patients. Proximal femoral allograft-prosthetic reconstruction was undertaken on all 7 hips using a technique of tension band fixation for securely fixing allograft to host bone at their interface to further minimize motion at the junction site and maximize union. Radiographic evidence of union at the interface was noted in 6 of 7 hips. Mean Harris hip score increased from 18 preoperatively to 83 postoperatively, with a mean follow-up of 78 months (range, 56-116 months).

Infantile Aggressive Aneurysmal Bone Cyst of the Proximal Femur: A Rare Clinical Presentation.

Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Faculty of Medicine, Ondokuz Mayıs University, Samsun, TUR.
Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) are aggressive, osteolytic lesions usually seen in childhood and young adulthood. The patient's age, location, and behavior of the lesion in the bone may cause patients to present with different clinical findings. Appropriate treatment of these rare, aggressive bone lesions is essential for recurrence.

As surgeons, we strive to recognize and correct any mistakes that may occur before completing an operation, and importantly, do our best to avoid irreversible mistakes. Over-resection of the femoral cam lesion in patients having hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome has been considered irreversible. While cam under-resection is a technical complication of femoroacetabular impingement surgery to be avoided, avoiding this at the expense of over-resection of the proximal femur is of great concern.

Background: A contemporary trend favours a restricted kinematic alignment (rKA) strategy, incorporating safe boundaries to restore a variable percentage of a patient's natural alignment.This study aims to compare preoperative and postoperative coronal plane knee alignment (CPAK) in patients undergoing bilateral TKA with SAIPH implants (MatOrtho, UK). The concept was to control the implant (same prosthesis both sides), patient (bilateral model) and assess what effect any surgical alteration in alignment had on patient's outcomes measured by patient-reported outcome measures (PROMS) and patient satisfaction.

Introduction: Giant cell tumour or osteoclastoma is benign, locally aggressive tumor with bone destruction and with malignant potential. It accounts for 5% of all primary bone tumor and occurs in skeletally mature individuals in the age group of 30 to 45 with peak incidence in the 3rd decade. GCT is more common in females.

This study aims to provide an initial database to gain more detailed knowledge of the trabecular and cortical bone structure of pelvic and femur bones in cats and smaller dogs. Additionally, the bony microarchitecture between cats and smaller dogs was compared to identify possible differences between those species. These findings could potentially improve the development of non-cemented total hip replacement (THR).
