Background: Hip resurfacing is an alternative to total hip arthroplasty.
Questions/purpose: We aimed to compare an experienced hip surgeon's initial clinical results of hip resurfacing with a new cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA).
Methods: The first 55 consecutive hip resurfacing arthroplasties were compared to 100 consecutive cementless THAs using a cylindrical tapered femoral stem. The learning curve between the two procedures was compared utilizing the incidence of reoperation, complications, Harris Hip Scores (HHS), and implant survivorship.
Results: The reoperation rate was significantly higher (p = 0.019) for hip resurfacing (14.5%) versus THA (4%). The overall complication rate between the two groups was not significantly different (p = 0.398). Preoperative HHS were similar between the two groups (p = 0.2). The final mean HHS was similar in both the resurfacing and THA groups (96 vs. 98.3, respectively, p < 0.65). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis with an endpoint of reoperation suggests complications occurred earlier in the resurfacing group versus the THA group (log-rank test, p = 0.007).
Conclusions: In comparison to our initial experience with a cementless THA stem, operative complications occur earlier and more often after hip resurfacing during the learning period. The clinical outcomes in both groups however are similar at 5 year follow-up.

The prototype of a biomimetic multi-spiked connecting scaffold (MSC-Scaffold) represents an essential innovation in the fixation in subchondral trabecular bone of components for a new generation of entirely cementless hip resurfacing arthroplasty (RA) endoprostheses. In designing such a functional biomaterial scaffold, identifying the microstructural and mechanical properties of the host bone compromised by degenerative disease is crucial for proper post-operative functioning and long-term maintenance of the endoprosthesis components. This study aimed to explore, depending on the occurrence of obesity, changes in the microstructure and mechanical properties of the subchondral trabecular bone in femoral heads of osteoarthritis (OA) patients caused by the MSC-Scaffold embedding.

Background: Unrestricted kinematic alignment (uKA) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has the theoretical advantage of reproducing patients' constitutional alignment and restoring the pre-arthritic joint line position and obliquity. However, modifications of the original uKA technique have been proposed due to the potential risk of mechanical failure and instability. Given the significant variability in soft tissue behavior within the same bony morphology group, uKA pure knee resurfacing could be occasionally detrimental.

Purpose: Hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA) is recommended for younger patients seeking higher levels of activity. However, femoroacetabular cup impingement (FACI) between the femoral neck and acetabular prosthesis remains a concern. This study aimed to determine the incidence, risk factors, and prognostic consequences of FACI after HRA.

Purpose: To compare the complication rates between deficient patellae (remnant patellae after component removal) and non-resurfaced patellae after 1.5-stage exchange arthroplasty for periprosthetic joint infection and identify risk factors for complications of deficient patellae.
Methods: Complications in 76 deficient patellae (group D) and 41 non-resurfaced patellae (group N), with a minimum follow-up of 2 years after 1.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to evaluate how stable a hip resurfacing prosthesis is in dog cadaver femurs using various biomechanical tests.
- - Twenty canine femurs were tested, with one femur receiving the prosthesis and the other remaining intact; the tests measured load capacity and displacement during stress.
- - Results showed that the prosthesis had lower maximum load and load at collapse values compared to intact femurs, but similar behavior in terms of displacement and stiffness, indicating some limitations in the prosthesis's performance.
