Many deformities occur after subpectoral implant-based breast reconstruction. Today, immediate prepectoral reconstruction with implants shows a significant increase in popularity because it has many advantages over subpectoral positioning: absence of muscle deficit and breast animation deformity, reduced implant dislocation, and less postoperative pain and easy recovery. Implant pocket conversion from the submuscular to prepectoral plane has become our preferred strategy for solving most problems related to the submuscular implant position.

Background: Implant cut-out or cut-through remains a common cause of cephalomedullary nail failure and patient morbidity following surgical treatment of intertrochanteric femur fractures. In patients not suitable for conversion to total hip arthroplasty, which can involve long operation times and substantial blood loss, as well as a higher risk of periprosthetic fracture and dislocation postoperatively, revision with another internal fixation is an alternative option. If the femoral head can be preserved as much as possible to avoid eventual joint replacement while the internal fixation failure is solved, the quality of life of patients will be significantly improved.

Periprosthetic infection is one of the trickiest clinical problems, which often leads to disastrous consequences. The emergence of tantalum and its derivatives provides novel ideas and effective methods to solve this problem and has attracted great attention. However, tantalum was reported to have different anti-infective effects in vivo and in vitro, and the inherent antibacterial capability of tantalum is still controversial, which may restrict its development as an antibacterial material to some extent.

Capsular contracture is one of the most common complications of breast implants, which often leads to secondary surgery. Patients with unconspicuous breast contracture do not need treatment, while for those with severe symptoms, a capsule revision surgery is of great necessity, including a total periprosthetic capsulectomy and replacement with a new implant. However, if the capsular contracture happens in the submuscular space, it will be very difficult to release it completely, and it may lead to more complications such as damage to surrounding tissue.

Objective: To discuss the result and long time follow-up of unstable intertrochanteric fracture combined with avascular necrosis of femoral head treated by total hip arthroplasty.

Methods: From March 2008 to October 2014, 23 cases were enrolled and treated by total hip arthroplasty, including 10 males and 13 females, aged 59 to 82 years old with an average of(68.4±10.
