Inferior outcome of stand-alone short versus long tibial stem in revision total knee arthroplasty. A retrospective comparative study with minimum 2 year follow-up.

SICOT J

January 2025

Department of Orthopedic Surgery and Sport Medicine, Croix-Rousse Hospital, FIFA Medical Center of Excellence, 69004 Lyon, France - Université de Lyon, Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1, IFSTTAR, LBMC UMR_T9406, 69622 Lyon, France.

Introduction: Revision Total Knee Arthroplasty (RTKA) is complex, and induced bone loss might endanger implant fixation and joint stability. Intramedullary stems improve fixation throughout stress redistribution. The current study aims to compare the performance of short tibial stems with long tibial stems, investigating their intermediate-term radiographic and survival outcomes in RTKA.

Different treatment for humeral shaft fractures: A network meta-analysis.

Medicine (Baltimore)

January 2025

Department of Laboratory Medicine, Kaifeng Tuberculosis Control Center, Kaifeng, China.

Background: The main treatment methods for humeral shaft fractures include minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO), intramedullary nailing (IMN), open reduction and internal fixation (ORF), and non-operative treatment (NonOP). However, the optimal treatment plan remains unclear. This article utilizes a network meta-analysis to compare the therapeutic effects of MIPO, IMN, ORF, and NonOP for the treatment of humeral shaft fractures.

Introduction: The short stature characteristic of patients with achondroplasia can negatively affect health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Lower limb lengthening reusing telescopic intramedullary nails (TIMNs) offers an alternative to external fixators, with the potential to enhance functionality, self-esteem, and HRQoL, while reducing complication risks, which this study aims to evaluate.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included nine patients with achondroplasia who underwent parallel transverse lengthening of femurs and/or tibias reusing a TIMN between 2015 and 2022.

Purpose: Previous studies have shown that subtrochanteric femoral fractures treated with intramedullary nails might lead to varus-procurvatum malalignment. Similar results have been reported when using antegrade intramedullary lengthening nails (ILNs). The purpose of our study is to examine if antegrade telescoping intramedullary lengthening nails lead to varus-procurvatum malalignment of the proximal femur and what are possible predictors of that shift.
