Objective: To determine whether a reinforcing cerclage (RC) for a short cervix measured after the primary cerclage procedure prolonged pregnancy.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 157 women with singleton gestations who underwent cerclage for standard indications. Women were grouped according to cervical length (CL) at the time of follow-up 1-2 weeks after the initial cerclage placement: ≥25 mm (106 women) and <25 mm with (20 women) or without RC (31 women). Gestational age (GA) at delivery was compared by ANOVA. Survival risk analysis was applied to model GA at delivery adjusted for indication and CL before and after the first cerclage.
Results: Women with CL ≥25mm delivered later than women with CL < 25mm after the first cerclage (p < 0.01). RC did not delay delivery for women with CL < 25 mm (p = 0.17) after the primary procedure. Indication for the primary cerclage (p < 0.01) and CL (p < 0.01) after the primary cerclage were the best predictors for GA at delivery.
Conclusion: Placement of RC for short cervix did not prolong duration of pregnancy, GA at delivery or modify the probability of preterm birth.

Simultaneous bilateral rupture of the patella tendon is a very rare condition, especially in young and healthy individuals. In this case report, a 44-year-old male sustained bilateral rupture while jumping during an amateur handball game. He was examined with X-ray and MRI and received surgery in both knees with suture of the tendon and reinforcement with metal cerclages.

Introduction: Patella fractures account for 1 % of all skeletal fractures, and can interrupt the knee's extensor apparatus. They can also be serious if associated with a cutaneous opening. We report the case of a fracture of the tip of the patella with a large loss of cutaneous substance.

We present a case of a fit man in his 50s, with simultaneous bilateral quadriceps tendon repair of injuries sustained 6 years apart. Spontaneous closed ruptures of the quadriceps tendon are uncommon. Clinical data of a single case of bilateral quadriceps tendon injury with simultaneous repair was gathered via the patient, notes and surgeon.

Background: Removal of well-fixed femoral components during revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) can be difficult and time-consuming, leading to numerous complications, such as femoral perforation, bone loss, and fracture. Extended trochanteric osteotomies (ETOs), which provide wide exposure and direct access to the femoral canal under controlled conditions, have become a popular method to circumvent these challenges. ETOs were popularized by Wagner (i.

Objectives: To determine whether reinforcing cerclage following ultrasound evidence of cerclage failure before 24 weeks is an effective method to delay gestational age at delivery, and to decrease the rate of preterm and peri-viable delivery.
Methods: A retrospective review was conducted for all patients who underwent any cervical cerclage procedure at a single tertiary care centre in Toronto, Canada between 1 December 2007 and 31 December 2017.
Results: Of 1482 cerclage procedures completed during the study period, 40 pregnant persons who underwent reinforcing cerclage were compared with 40 pregnant persons who were found to have cerclage failure before 24 weeks but were managed expectantly.
