Wagner hip arthroplasty has been used as a resurfacing and thereby bone-preserving method for the treatment of disabling osteoarthritis particularly in younger individuals. The underlying rationale was to replace exclusively diseased tissue, to restore anatomy and function and to optimize range of motion and stress transfer to the proximal femur. Wagner's approach was designed to reduce the risk of infection and to make later revisions easier. The technique was however associated with a high revision rate due to early aseptic wear induced component loosening and neck fractures. Nevertheless, we report a case of a 30 years follow-up of a Wagner resurfacing hip arthroplasty.

Efficacy of small-diameter core decompression with platelet-rich plasma in early osteonecrosis of the femoral head: a retrospective study.
BMC Musculoskelet Disord

Department of Orthopedics and Orthopedic Research Institute, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, People's Republic of China.
Background: Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a challenging condition, primarily affecting young and middle-aged individuals, which results in hip dysfunction and, ultimately, femoral head collapse. However, the comparative effectiveness of joint-preserving procedures, particularly in the early stages of ONFH (ARCO stage I or II), remains inconclusive. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of a novel technique called small-diameter core decompression (CD) combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP), for the treatment of early-stage ONFH.

Background: Robotic technology has been used in total hip arthroplasty (THA) for several years. Despite the advances in this field, perspectives surrounding robotic THA are not fully understood. This study aimed to characterize the landscape of robotic THA on social media.

It is unclear, however, whether and how bone quality affects surgeon's decision-making and how surgeons evaluate bone quality.
Objectives: This inductive/deductive qualitative hybrid study aims to explore the impact of bone quality on the decision-making of surgeons performing elective primary THA.
Patellar Instability After Total Knee Arthroplasty.

Patellar instability following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a rare, yet serious complication, potentially requiring revision surgery or resulting in chronic dysfunction. When encountered, it is paramount to understand the etiologies, diagnostic approaches, treatment options, and outcomes of the selected treatment. The most common cause of patella instability is improper positioning of components, leading to lateral maltracking of the patella.

Patellar tendon rupture (PTR) is a rare and severe postoperative complication of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Even rarer is the intraoperative occurrence of PTR during TKA. PTR is a major complication as it can lead to chronic disability, functional limitations, and postoperative morbidity.
