Recently, rotating hinge knee prostheses were applied more frequently due to improving modern implant designs. They are predominantly used in specific conditions with major bone defect or insufficiency of the collateral ligaments around the knee, often as salvage procedures. A case of rotating hinge knee megaprosthesis failure due to isolated tibial polyethylene stopper broken, which was never reported before, was investigated and treated in our institution. We suggested that rotating hinge knee prosthesis with incompetent medial collateral ligament is apt to failure due to the high valgus moment during gait. Sacrificing lateral collateral ligament or cutting the femur in slightly less than the normal 5° to 7° valgus may eliminate the risk of complication.

The safety and reliability of rotating machinery hinge significantly on the proper functioning of rolling bearings. In the last few years, there have been significant advances in the algorithms for intelligent fault diagnosis of bearings. However, the vibration signals collected by machines are inevitably affected by irrelevant noise because of the complex working environments of bearings.

Nothronychus graffami was a large therizinosaur represented by a single well-preserved individual from the Turonian Tropic Shale of southern Utah. It is characterized by an enlarged abdomen, small tail, and an extensively pneumatized axial skeleton, and is frequently regarded as herbivorous. Given the overall tail reduction and the development of a wide fused synsacrum with widely spaced acetabulae, it is reconstructed with an anteriorly rotated femur and a displaced resting ground reaction force anterior to the center of mass.

Background: The present study aimed to compare the functional outcomes of hinged external fixators and non-external fixation in open elbow arthrolysis (OEA) for post-traumatic elbow stiffness (PTES) and to evaluate their applicability and limitations in patients with posttraumatic elbow stiffness.
Methods: The clinical data of patients with PTES treated with OEA at our hospital between March 2015 and June 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The assessed variables were the operation time, intraoperative blood loss volume, duration of hospitalization, and treatment costs.

Purpose: To investigate the biomechanical consequences of osteosynthesis of lateral hinge fractures (LHFs) in medial open wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO).
Methods: Sixteen fresh-frozen human cadaveric proximal tibiae underwent MOWHTO fixed with an ipsilateral locking compression plate. The specimens were assigned to two clusters simulating LHFs according to the Takeuchi classification: (1) Type II fracture; and (2) Type III fracture.
Do Intact Collateral Ligaments Play a Role in the Overall Clinical and Radiological Results of Rotating Hinge Knee Arthroplasties?

Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Ankara City Hospital, Ankara Turkey.
Background: Rotating hinge knee arthroplasty (RHKA) implants are often utilized as a salvage procedure in cases where bone stock is compromised. The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate whether residual collateral ligament integrity affects functional and radiographic outcomes in patients undergoing revision surgery with RHKA.
Methods: Patients treated with RHKA between 2011 and 2021 were eligible.
