Introduction: The Smith-Petersen vitallium mold arthroplasty was a real landmark in arthroplasty surgery as this was the first technique which produced predictable and satisfactory results.
Case Report: We present the longest known follow-up of any hip arthroplasty in literature. The arthroplasty was performed in 1949 in London on a 30-years-old female patient with congenital hip dysplasia, and it was revised in 2014 after 65 years.
Conclusion: Total hip arthroplasties nowadays give better functional results, but the fact that the patient got 65 years of the relatively good function is noteworthy and is a tribute to Dr. Marius Nygaard Smith-Petersen.

Background: Excessive exposure to adrenergic vasopressors may be harmful. Non-adrenergic vasopressors may spare adrenergic agents and potentially improve outcomes. We aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to evaluate the efficacy of non-adrenergic vasopressors in adult patients receiving vasopressor therapy for vasodilatory shock or perioperative vasoplegia.

Objective: The study aims to identify characteristics that impact the postoperative prognosis and recurrence of intracranial dissecting aneurysms (IDA) patients treated using multi-stent overlapping techniques.
Methods: Clinical data from 69 IDA patients treated with multistate-assisted spring coil embolization at the hospital between January 2017 and October 2023 were retrospectively reviewed, including clinical and imaging data gathered at admission and discharge. The prognosis was determined based on mRS grade at discharge, and the patients were divided into excellent prognosis (mRS 0-2 points) and poor prognosis (mRS 3-6 points).

Background: To analyze how patient history, glenoid bone loss (GBL), and the size of the residual glenoid bone fragment (GBF) influence the choice between arthroscopic Bankart repair and open Latarjet procedure in patients with anteroinferior glenohumeral instability and bony Bankart lesions.
Methods: Review of 290 patients with bony Bankart lesions treated for anterior glenohumeral instability was conducted and patients were categorized into three groups based on GBL and GBF: Group A (GBL < 10% and GBF <10%), Group B (GBL ≥ 10% and GBF <10%), and Group C (GBL ≥10%, GBF ≥10%). Number of preoperative dislocations, time from the first instability, Western Ontario Shoulder Index (WOSI) scores, Hill-Sachs lesion (HSL) location (central or peripheral), HSL track status, and Glenoid Track Instability Management Score (GTIMS) were analyzed.

BACKGROUND Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) can result in severe disease requiring mechanical ventilatory support. A subset of these patients, however, demonstrate refractory hypoxemia/hypercarbia requiring veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO) as adjunctive therapy. The primary goal of V-V ECMO is a "bridge" to recovery of native lung function; however, patients may progress to irreversible pulmonary damage requiring lung transplantation.

Background: Distal radial access (DRA) through the anatomical snuff-box is a novel technique for coronary procedures. Emerging evidence suggests that DRA is associated with a lower risk of certain complications compared to proximal radial access (PRA).
Methods: A systematic review was conducted to compare clinical and procedural outcomes between both access sites for coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention.
