Introduction: Mobile-bearing (MB) inserts, designed to minimize aseptic loosening and to reduce contact stresses leading to polyethylene wear, are an alternative to fixed-bearing (FB) inserts. Most studies have shown no significant difference between MB and FB constructs, and there is limited long-term data comparing the two constructs [1,2,3,4]. The purpose of this study was to report the outcomes of a randomized controlled trial comparing MB versus FB inserts on patients with minimum 20-year follow-up.

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.

This study reviews the long-term efficacy of short-segment posterior instrumentation and fusion (SSPIF) in treating thoracolumbar burst fractures. Authors retrospectively reviewed the radiographic results of single-level thoracolumbar burst fractures treated by SSPIF. Vertebral body height and wedge angles were measured on the preoperative, postoperative, and follow-up radiographic images.

Background: The aim of this study was to validate in 20-year follow-up (FU) the outcomes reported in World J Surg 2010; 34(6):1232-8 on recurrent nodular goiter in the contralateral thyroid lobe among patients after thyroid lobectomy (TL) for multinodular goiter (MNG) receiving versus not receiving postoperative prophylactic levothyroxine (LT4) treatment.
Methods: Some 150 consenting patients underwent TL for MNG in 2000-2003. They were randomized to two groups, 75 patients each: (a) receiving prophylactic LT4 treatment postoperatively (dose range 75-125 microg/day to maintain thyroid-stimulating hormone values within 0.

Objective: This retrospective, multicentre, observational study analysed patients who underwent endovascular repair for blunt traumatic aortic injury (BTAI) at four tertiary trauma referral centres over twenty years. It aimed to determine early and long term survival, to analyse aortic and device related complications, and to assess the re-intervention rate after endovascular repair for BTAI.
Methods: All patients treated from 1 January 2001 to 31 October 2021 were identified using local hospital registries and two national registries: the Swedish vascular registry (Swedvasc) and Swedish trauma registry (SweTrau).
