Total hip arthroplasty (THA) using minimally invasive surgery (MIS) can result in soft tissue damage during the trial reduction and actual implantation. We present a surgical technique that reduces soft tissue trauma and facilitates implant reduction while protecting the prosthetic head from scratching during MIS THA. Primary THA using MIS was performed in 16 hips through a transgluteul direct lateral approach. Average follow-up was 54 months (range 52-58 months). At latest follow-up there was no evidence for component dissociation or loosening in any of the patients. Reverse assembly of THA components is a viable option, which may facilitate MIS THA and decrease soft tissue trauma.

Background: Transperitoneal approach to robot-assisted pyeloplasty (RAP) have been preferred in the last decades because of the use of multi-port robotic platforms. However, this approach is linked to notable issues, such as pneumoperitoneum and lateral decubitus position, which is associated with potential soft tissues injuries, and it is a time-consuming procedure. Single-port (SP) platform was introduced to potentially address these issues.

Objective: Systematic review of literature on the pre-clinical studies of dental implantation in different models by finding out data about primary stability.

Materials And Methods: PubMed, NCBI, Wiley Online Library, MBPI, Elibrary systems were used for search.

Results: Based on the literature review of the described animal species dogs have the most similar bone structure to humans but their usage is complicated by ethics and law reasons.

The Study Aims: To evaluate and compare the growth of gingiva around dental implants following the use of collagen matrices and connective tissue grafts (CTG).

Materials And Methods: The study included 80 study participants, who were divided into four groups based on the type of material used to enhance gingival thickness. Two groups utilized collagen matrices, Fibro-Gide and FibroMatrix as materials, while the other two groups utilized CTG obtained from the hard palate or tubercle area of the maxilla as controls.

A 56-year-old male smoker presented to the Emergency Department with a painful mass in the left ischiorectal fossa, which had been present for 2 months without any other symptoms. On examination, a hard, violet-colored mass was observed, with an ulcerated central area. Blood tests were normal, and the abdominal-pelvic CT scan showed multiple hypervascular intra-abdominal masses and soft tissue lesions.

Introduction: Clubfoot is at times associated with other lower extremity abnormalities, such as leg length discrepancy (LLD). Initial studies in patients treated with extensive soft tissue release (STR) have estimated that LLD is prevalent in 9% to 11% of children with idiopathic clubfoot. However, Ponseti-style serial casting has since replaced STR as the preferred clubfoot treatment method.
