Background: A number of studies on total hip arthroplasty have compared highly cross-linked polyethylene (HXLPE) with conventional polyethylene (CPE) liners beyond 10 years. However, the impact of HXLPE on the wear-related reoperation rate is unclear. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical advantage of using a single manufacturer's HXLPE in terms of reducing the reoperation rate.
Methods: The study was a follow-up retrospective cohort study over a mean of 12 years that examined patients aged 45-70 years with cementless total hip arthroplasty using a 26-mm-diameter cobalt-chromium head. Sixty-seven patients (79 hips; HXLPE group = 41 hips, CPE group = 38 hips) were evaluated for a minimum 10-year follow-up. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed, with wear-related reoperations and radiographic osteolysis serving as the end points. The polyethylene wear rate was also assessed.
Results: The mean 12-year follow-up rates of survivorship that were evaluated using wear-related reoperations as the end point were 100% and 91.4% in the HXLPE and CPE groups, respectively (P = .007), and the mean 12-year follow-up rates of survivorship with osteolysis as the end point were 100% and 36.2%, respectively (P < .001). Compared with the CPE group, the HXLPE group presented a significantly reduced wear rate (HXLPE group, 0.035 mm/y; CPE group, 0.118 mm/y).
Conclusion: A unique strength of this study is that we assessed a single manufacturer's HXLPE while keeping most other implant parameters uniform. This study reveals the clinical advantage of using a single manufacturer's HXLPE in terms of a reduced wear-related reoperation rate at a mean 12-year follow-up.

To investigate the occurrence and managements of poor recovery after total endoscopic middle ear surgery. A total of 302 cases（315 ears） who underwent endoscopic middle ear surgery in our hospital from June 2020 to June 2021 were collected. Follow up by means of endoscopy, pure tone hearing threshold, tympanogram was conducted at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year after surgery to analyze the incidence, possible causes, treatment strategies and effects of poor results tympanic membrane healing and hearing recovery.

Objective: Open surgical suprarenal aortic fenestration (OSSAF) is a technique to treat complicated type B aortic dissection (cTBAD) by resecting the intimal membrane at the level of the visceral arteries. This invasive procedure is largely abandoned since the advent of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) as becoming the gold standard of treating cTBAD. Identifying patterns in the late history of patients who underwent OSSAF might help better understand the evolution of TBAD.

Objective: The objective of this study was to compare a multiple pelvic screw fixation strategy (dual bilateral 4 pelvic screw fixation [4PvS]) with the use of single bilateral 2 pelvic screw fixation (2PvS), with the aim of addressing lumbosacral junction stability.
Methods: This analysis is a single-center, retrospective review of ASD patients treated between 2015 and 2021. All patients had a minimum 2-year follow-up and spinal fusion to the sacrum without sacroiliac fusion and met at least one radiographic and procedural criterion: pelvic incidence-lumbar lordosis ≥ 20°, T1 pelvic angle ≥ 20°, sagittal vertical axis ≥ 7.
