Objective: To determine the long-term results of primary cemented total hip arthroplasty in patients under the age of 40. In cases of acetabular defects, initial reconstruction with bone impaction grafting was performed.

Design: Cohort analysis.

Methods: Details of patients under the age of 40 who underwent primary cemented total hip arthroplasty between 1 January 1988 and 30 June 2004 were analysed. The primary goal of this study was to determine the time until revision surgery. Kaplan Meier analysis was used to calculate prosthesis survival.

Results: A total of 175 total hip arthroplasties in 130 patients were included in the study. Acetabular reconstruction using bone impaction grafting was performed on 84 hips (48%). The average age at surgery was 31 years. Six patients (8 hips) died during follow-up; none of these had undergone revision surgery. Average follow-up was 8.1 years (range: 2.0-18.5). In total, 24 hips (14%) were revised. Reasons for revision were: septic loosening (n = 8), recurrent dislocations (n = 4), traumatic loosening (n = 1) and aseptic loosening (n = 11). The 10-year prosthesis survival was 83% (95% CI: 76-90) with the endpoint 'revision for any reason' and 92% (95% CI: 86-98) with the endpoint 'revision for aseptic loosening'. Aseptic survival of the cups with and without bone impaction grafting was 95% (95% CI: 89-100) and 90% (95% CI: 81-99) (p = 0.73), respectively.

Conclusion: Hip replacement with cemented total hip arthroplasty in patients under the age of 40 produced good long-term results. Acetabular deficiencies reconstructed with bone impaction grafting also produced good results in this group of patients.

Background: While stress shielding and adaptive bone changes around the humeral component are often observed after shoulder arthroplasty, the potential causative factors and clinical significance of these findings at mid-term follow-up have not been well elucidated. The purpose of this study was to investigate the frequency, patterns and clinical significance of radiographic findings around the humeral component of total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) and hemiarthroplasty (HA) at minimum 4-year follow-up.

Methods: The 6-week and minimum 4-year radiographs of patients who underwent HA and TSA were evaluated for filling ratios, changes in the humeral bone surrounding the component, and component shift or subsidence.

Introduction: Congenital lumbar kyphosis is present in about 15% of patients with myelomeningocele. Worsening of deformity with complications such as chronic skin ulcers and bone exposure is common. In patients under 8 years of age, treatment becomes even more challenging: in addition to resecting the apex of the kyphotic deformity, we should ideally stabilize the spine with fixation methods that do not interrupt the growth of the rib cage, associated with the challenging pelvic fixation in this population.

Aim: This study aims to evaluate the impact of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on pain, swelling, trismus, soft tissue healing and bone regeneration following mandibular third molar extraction.

Material And Methods: A systematic review was conducted from a period of January 2014 to June 2024 using PRISMA guidelines. The search strategy included databases such as Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, using key terms related to "PRF", "PRP", oral surgery, and third molars.

FDG PET/CT in a Case of Gardner Syndrome.

Clin Nucl Med

December 2024

From the Department of Neurology, Yueyang Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Gardner syndrome is characterized by multiple intestinal polyps and extraintestinal lesions. We describe FDG PET/CT findings of the extraintestinal lesions in a patient with Gardner syndrome. FDG PET/CT showed 2 hypermetabolic desmoid tumors in the abdominal wall, sclerotic areas with multifocal activity in the maxilla and mandible, multiple osteomas in the bilateral parietal, left frontal, sphenoid and ethmoid bones, an impacted tooth in the right maxilla, and bone islands in the T2 and T5 vertebral bodies.

Background: It has been outlined that LTM (Lower third molar) extracted from patients in which grinding, cleaning, sterilization & demineralization prove to be highly effective as graft material for filling the alveolar socket of the very same patient. These investigations aim to assess the efficiency of ADDM (Autogenous Demineralized Dentin Matrix) graft in third molar extraction sockets.

Purpose: To check the effectiveness of ADDM as graft material in extraction socket by evaluating pain, swelling, trismus, PD (Probing Depth) and bone density.
