The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the minimum 10-year outcomes and survivorship of the Reflection shell with a polished inner surface and an improved locking mechanism. Three hundred sixty-three total hip replacements with a mean follow-up of 11.6 years (range, 10.0-15.1) were evaluated. The mean Harris Hip and WOMAC scores at last follow-up were 87 and 77, respectively. Four cups were revised: 2 for infection and 2 for aseptic loosening. Thirteen cases underwent liner exchange for wear. Radiographic review of remaining cups identified 8.8% with identifiable peri-acetabular osteolysis and no cases of loosening. The overall 10- and 15-year Kaplan-Meier survivorship was 94% and 90% for the total hip arthroplasty system while the survivorship of the shell remained 99.4% at 15 years.

Purpose: Studies evaluating the long-term survival rate, patient satisfaction, and conversion to total hip arthroplasty (THA) are limited. The aim of this study was to evaluate satisfaction and hip survival at a minimum 10-year follow-up in patients following hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS).
Methods: A total of 164 patients underwent hip arthroscopy for FAIS between 2007 and 2012; of these, 76 (49 men and 27 women; mean age, 40.

Background: Dengue has an increased worldwide epidemic potential with the global rising temperature due to climate change. Heat and rainfall are known to influence seasonal patterns of dengue transmission over the course of weeks to months. However, there is a gap in knowledge about the short-term effect of heat on dengue severity.

Background: Sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) instability can lead to pain, reduced function, and an inability to perform sports and activities of daily living. Reconstruction of the SCJ using hamstring autograft in a figure-of-8 configuration has demonstrated good outcomes at short- and midterm follow-ups, but there is a paucity of literature on long-term outcomes.
Purpose: To evaluate the long-term clinical and functional outcomes after SCJ reconstruction, with a focus on return to sport, instability recurrence, and revision surgery.

Objectives: Rheumatoid arthritis often leads to debilitating damage in the elbow joint, which may require total elbow arthroplasty (TEA). The Kudo TEA is one of the unlinked type prostheses with reportedly favorable outcomes. However, there is limited information available regarding its long-term performance.

This study aimed to characterize patient-reported outcome measures [including rates of achieving the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) and patient-acceptable symptomatic state (PASS)], report survivorship free from conversion to arthroplasty, and identify risk factors associated with composite failure.
Methods: Twenty-seven patients (n=13 SCFE, n=14 Perthes) with minimum 2-year follow-up (mean 5.
