Myelofibrosis is a myeloproliferative disease that falls under a group of bone marrow malignancies known as myeloproliferative neoplasms. It manifests with splenomegaly, anemia, leukocytosis and, less commonly, bone pain. Ruxolitinib, Janus kinase inhibitor, has been shown to increase survival, to improve symptoms and has the potential to decrease osteosclerotic changes. Herein, we present a case of primary myelofibrosis (PMF) in a 60-year-old female who presented with 8-month history of progressive left hip pain and later was diagnosed with pathological neck of femur fracture that was treated with cementless hemiarthroplasty. In conclusion, the use of cementless implants in hip arthroplasty in the presence of PMF has shown to be an effective and safe choice.

Comparative outcomes of cemented versus cementless stems in bipolar hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fractures.

Article Synopsis
- - The study compared the outcomes of cemented versus uncemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fractures in 99 elderly patients, assessing parameters like operative time, blood loss, and daily living activities post-surgery.
- - Results showed that cemented stems had longer operative times and more vasopressor use, while both methods had similar blood loss and complication rates.
- - The uncemented stems demonstrated better performance in reducing operative time and vasopressor needs, but overall, both stem types were effective for patients with femoral neck fractures.

Introduction Advancements in bipolar hemiarthroplasty (BHA) implants in the mid-1990s contributed to favorable short-term outcomes for osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH), particularly in cases without acetabular cartilage lesions. Nevertheless, long-term results remain unclear. In this study, we investigated (i) the impact of new-generation BHA implants and (ii) the effect of the preoperative stage on long-term outcomes in young patients with ONFH.

The number of total hip arthroplasty and bipolar hemiarthroplasty is increasing because of their good clinical outcomes and the aging population. Consequently, the incidence of periprosthetic femoral fractures (PFFs) is expected to increase in older patients with osteoporosis. Surgery is the first choice of treatment for PFF, except in Vancouver Type A fractures.

Purpose: Periprosthetic femoral fractures (PPFs) around the hip are challenging complications in orthopaedic surgery, particularly Vancouver type B2 (VTB2) fractures. The surgical management of these fractures is crucial and depends on various factors. Cementless short taper stem with plate osteosynthesis is an alternative surgical technique.
