Structural bone grafts in acetabular reconstruction of total hip arthroplasty have come into more common usage with the increasing number of revision arthroplasties. The authors present the outcome of 40 bone grafts with follow-up periods of 2-8 years. Primary and revision arthroplasties with both cemented and noncemented fixation are included. Factors that had a statistically significant relationship to failure of the bone graft included fit and fixation of bone graft to host, fit and fixation of prosthesis to host, union of bone graft to host, and the presence or absence of the confluence of the anterior and posterior columns of the acetabulum. Other findings of interest were a higher failure rate of multiple grafts as compared to a single graft and freeze-dried femoral heads. Migration of the socket of more than 3 mm is statistically related to failure of the socket.

Erdheim-Chester Disease is a rare systemic xanthogranulomatous infiltrating disease, characterized by lipid-laden histiocytes accumulating in various organs and almost always in bones. Etiology of the disease is still unknown. It may involve various organs and systems, such as musculoskeletal, cardiac, pulmonary, renal, gastrointestinal and central nervous system (CNS) as well as the skin.

Background: There is no standard treatment to accelerate recovery from melphalan-induced thrombocytopenia in multiple myeloma (MM) patients undergoing autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). Romiplostim, a thrombopoietin receptor agonist, has been developed to upregulate platelet production.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of romiplostim in reducing platelet transfusions post-ASCT in MM patients.

Background: Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a rare complement-driven acquired hemolytic anemia with specific presentations of hemoglobinuria, abdominal pain, fatigue, and thrombosis.

Objective: To review the current therapeutic strategies for PNH, including anti-complement therapy and allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT), focusing on the tailoring of the approach to the disease subtype.

Results: The outcome of alloHCT varies depending on disease severity, thrombotic history, and response to prior therapies.

Background: Graft selection is an important part of preoperative planning for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). In addition, ACLR with the remnant preservation technique has recently gained attention due to potential benefit in bone-tendon healing, graft revascularization, and proprioceptive nerve remodeling. However, the ideal graft choice remains controversial, and there is limited research comparing autograft and allograft in ACLR with remnant preservation.

This article describes a case of successful management of late-onset CLS occurring after allo-HSCT, employing bevacizumab as the therapeutic agent. Capillary leak syndrome (CLS) represents a critical complication arising from allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). The prognosis for CLS remains considerably constrained.
