Objective: To explore the effectiveness of total hip arthroplasty (THA) for non-functional bony ankylosed hip in young and middle-aged patients.
Methods: Between January 2010 and March 2013, 14 cases (19 hips) of non-functional bony ankylosed hip were treated by THA. There were 9 males and 5 females, aged 37.5 years on average (range, 23- 58 years). The left hip was involved in 6 cases, the right hip in 3 cases, and bilateral hips in 5 cases. The causes were tuberculosis in 2 patients, ankylosing spondylitis in 5 patients, traumatic arthritis in 5 patients, osteoarthritis in 1 patient, and suppurative infection in 1 patient. The disease duration was 7-18 years with an average of 8.9 years. Flexion stiffness was observed in 10 hips, flexion abduction stiffness in 6 hips, and flexion adduction shortening stiffness in 3 hips. Only 5 patients could walk with a crutch before operation. Harris hip score was 24.368 ± 7.625.
Results: The average operation time was 63.4 minutes (range, 50-90 minutes). The average intraoperative blood loss was 196.8 mL (range, 100-400 mL). Patients obtained primary healing of incision; no complication of neurovascular injury, fracture, joint dislocation, or infection occurred. All patients were followed up 2.2 years on average (range, 1 year to 4 years and 3 months). The Harris score was 86.837 ± 7.742 at last follow- up, showing significant difference when compared with preoperative score (t = -41.956, P = 0.000). The results were excellent in 5 hips, good in 11 hips, fair in 2 hips, and poor in 1 hip, with an excellent and good rate of 84.2%. All patients could basically take care of themselves; 2 patients could walk with crutch, and the other patients could walk without crutch. X-ray films showed that prosthesis was in good position; no shifting, loosening, or sinking was found. Heterotopic ossification occurred in 2 hips.
Conclusion: THA is an effective surgical approach to treat non-functional bony ankylosed hip in young and middle- aged patients.

A 66-year-old male patient was admitted due to high fever, severe headaches and disturbance of consciousness. Meningitis was confirmed by lumbar puncture and intravenous antimicrobial therapy was started. Since he had undergone radical tympanomastoidectomy 15 years before, otogenic meningitis was suspected, so the patient was referred to our department.

Background: Dorsal spine reduction in threespine sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus) is a classic example of recurrent skeletal evolution in nature. Sticklebacks in marine environments typically have long spines that form part of their skeletal armor. Many derived freshwater populations have evolved shorter spines.

Paleogene micromomyids are small (∼10-40 g) euarchontan mammals with primate-like molars and postcrania suggestive of committed claw-climbing positional behaviors, similar to those of the extant arboreal treeshrew, Ptilocercus. Based primarily on evidence derived from dental and postcranial morphology, micromomyids have alternately been allied with plesiadapiforms, Dermoptera (colugos), or Primatomorpha (Primates + Dermoptera) within Euarchonta. Partial crania described here of Paleocene Dryomomys szalayi and Eocene Tinimomys graybulliensis from the Clarks Fork Basin of Wyoming are the first known for the family Micromomyidae.

Inappropriate bone growth in soft tissue can occur after trauma to a limb and can cause a disruption to the healing process. This is known as Heterotopic Ossification (HO) in which regions in the tissue start to mineralize and form microscopic bone-like structures. These structures continue to calcify and develop into large, non-functional bony masses that cause pain, limit limb movement, and expose the tissue to reoccurring infections; in the case of open wounds this can lead to amputation as a result of a failed wound.
