Background: For complete disruption of the posterolateral corner (PLC) structures, operative treatment is most commonly advocated, as nonoperative treatment has higher rates of persistent lateral laxity and posttraumatic arthritis. Some studies have shown that acute direct repair results in revision rates upwards of 37% to 40% compared with 6% to 9% for initial reconstruction. In a recent study assessing the outcomes of acute repair of PLC avulsion injuries with 2 to 7 years of follow-up, patients with adequate tissue were shown to have a much lower failure rate than previously documented.

The patient, a 69-year-old female, presented one year after receiving a total elbow arthroplasty with a nonunion periprosthetic fracture of the humerus. Due to the patient's severe osteoarthritis of the ipsilateral shoulder and significant humeral deformity, a procedure linking the total elbow arthroplasty to the reverse shoulder implant via a cemented allograft-composite linkage sleeve was performed. Previous literature suggests upper extremity salvage surgery using large-scale allografts is successful in treating large tumor or infection-derived defects, though data is lacking as to whether this treatment is effective in periprosthetic fractures in patients with significant comorbidities.

Background And Objective: Proximal femoral replacement due to revision hip arthroplasty or catastrophic proximal femur fracture fixation failures with considerable proximal femur bone loss can lead to a substantial loss of function of the soft tissue around the hip and the abductor muscles in particular. Surgical techniques of gluteus medius repair and/or abductor mechanism reattachment/reconstruction are widely debated in the literature, but it is quite rarely dealt with in the context of megaprosthesis and femoral reconstruction, particularly in non-oncologic patients. The aim of this study is to present a narrative review of the literature on techniques for abductor reattachment in proximal femoral replacement for non-oncological reconstructions.

Background: Removal of well-fixed femoral components during revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) can be difficult and time-consuming, leading to numerous complications, such as femoral perforation, bone loss, and fracture. Extended trochanteric osteotomies (ETOs), which provide wide exposure and direct access to the femoral canal under controlled conditions, have become a popular method to circumvent these challenges. ETOs were popularized by Wagner (i.

Background: The aim of this single-center retrospective cohort study was to assess the impact of arterial reconstruction technique on lung perfusion. The second objective was to ascertain the functional validity of arterial sleeve lobectomy.
Method: Between January 2001 and December 2020, a total of 81 patients underwent lobectomy with pulmonary artery (PA) reconstruction for lung cancer at the University Hospital of Montpellier.
