Distally anchored uncemented modular tapered porous stems are often the preferred treatment in total hip arthroplasty revisions and failed subtrochanteric fractures. These conditions mainly affect elderly osteoporotic patients, with an increased risk of later fractures below the well-fixated implant. Treatment in secondary fractures with long looking plates is the recommended treatment, where stability is a key to fracture healing. We report a complicated case in which this was achieved by an innovative technique combing the trochanteric attachment bolt of the stem system and a locking plate with polyaxial screws.

Patient and physical therapists' views on physical rehabilitation exercise in the early phase after total hip arthroplasty: a qualitative interview study.
Disabil Rehabil
January 2025
National Institute of Public Health, University of Southern Denmark, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Purpose: Physical rehabilitation exercises (PRE) are commonly prescribed early after total hip arthroplasty (THA), but the fundamental effectiveness of PRE has been questioned. As little is known about stakeholder perceptions of PRE, the aim was to explore patients' and physical therapists' perceptions of using PRE in the early period after THA.
Methods: A qualitative interview study was conducted.

The treatment for osteoarthritis (OA) often requires total joint arthroplasty (TJA) when less invasive approaches fail. The annual incidence of TJA is rising. Metal-on-metal (MoM) hip and knee implants were widely used for TJA in the past, but complications have led to their decline.

Background And Purpose: The amount of information publicly available from arthroplasty registries is large but could be used more effectively. This project aims to improve the knowledge concerning existing registries to facilitate access, transparency, harmonization, and reporting.
Methods: Within the International Society of Arthroplasty Registries (ISAR) we aimed at developing, testing, adopting, and making publicly available a short, standardized registry description with items considered relevant for stakeholders using a cross-sectional study survey.
Periprosthetic femoral fractures in minimally-invasive anterolateral short stem versus transgluteal straight stem cementless total hip arthroplasty: What are the differences in the femoral and pelvic morphology?
J Orthop Surg Res

Department for Orthopedics and Traumatology, Kepler University Hospital GmbH, Krankenhausstrasse 9, 4020, Linz, Austria.
Background: The occurrence of periprosthetic femoral fractures (PFFs) in cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA) might be associated with the proximal femoral morphology and the pelvis. PFFs in short stem THA are associated with an increased Canal Flare Index. PFFs in straight stem THA show a decreased Canal Flare Index.

Introduction: To improve surgical quality and safety, health systems must prioritise equitable care for surgical patients. Racialised patients experience worse postoperative outcomes when compared with non-racialised surgical patients in settler colonial nation-states. Identifying preventable adverse outcomes for equity-deserving patient populations is an important starting point to begin to address these gaps in care.
