Objective: This study retrospectively compared the clinical and radiological outcomes of patients with bilateral developmental dysplasia of the hip who underwent either a single-stage operation (using a Salter innominate osteotomy for one hip and a Pemberton pericapsular osteotomy for the other hip) or a two-stage procedure comprising consecutive operations.
Methods: Extensive pre- and postoperative clinical, surgical and radiological examinations were undertaken.
Results: A total of 63 patients received the single-stage operation (group A), and 55 patients received consecutive operations (group B). There were no significant between-group differences in acetabular index or centre-edge angle correction. Group A had significantly reduced anaesthetic exposure, duration of hospitalization, blood transfusion volume, antibiotic costs and hospitalization costs. Group A also had a lower rate of surgical complications and avascular necrosis than group B.
Conclusions: The single-stage surgical procedure was more economical and allowed more rapid recovery than two consecutive operations. The surgical and anaesthesia team must be highly proficient in order to perform single-stage operations successfully.

This paper examines advancements in minimally invasive posterior decompression techniques for lumbar degenerative diseases. It focuses on the unilateral approach for bilateral decompression and bilateral approach for contralateral decompression, in which the entry side is determined independently of the symptomatic side to achieve a facet joint preservation rate of ≥ 70%, while also emphasizing contralateral foraminal decompression(CFD). These techniques address spinal instability by minimizing facet joint resection, reducing postoperative instability.

Introduction: The two-stage surgical protocols used for the treatment of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are associated with marked patient morbidity. As such, alternatives such as durable "1.5-stage" spacer constructs have gained popularity.

The hand surgeon must simultaneously battle devascularization with timely microvascular anastomosis, gross contamination with meticulous debridement, and amputation with stable fixation. In restoring a functional extremity, many of these goals are in contention with each other.

Objective: Tetralogy of Fallot, pulmonary atresia, and major aortopulmonary collateral arteries are a complex congenital heart defect. For years, our program has recommended early single-stage midline unifocalization at three to six months of age. However, many patients are referred beyond six months.

Introduction: Reconstructing large bone defects for lower limb salvage in the pediatric population remains challenging due to complex oncological or septic issues, limited surgical options, and lengthy procedures prone to complications. The vascularized double-barreled fibula free flap is pivotal for reconstructing large bones. In this article, we report our experience with this technique in the surgical management of pediatric tibial bone defects.
