In this study, we evaluate the mid-term functional and radiological outcomes of Ceramic on Metal Total Hip Arthroplasty (CoM THA) THA. 66 CoM THAs were performed between 2008 and 2010. These were evaluated and followed up in 2017-18, at a mean follow-up of 9 years to record the Oxford Hip Score [OHS] and whole blood Cobalt and Chrome levels. Our all cause revision rate was 4.5% (3 out of 66). At mid-term follow up, patients with CoM THAs are mostly asymptomatic with reasonable functional outcomes, we have reported similar revision rates in conjunction with raised blood metal ion levels and frequency of radiolucent lines.

Objectives: This research aimed to compare the prostate cancer (PCa) features, survival rate, and functional outcomes after open suprapubic Radical Prostatectomy (RP) between younger men (≤ 55 years) and older men (> 55 years).

Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we studied 134 patients with clinically localized PCa who underwent RP at our centers between 2011 and 2019, with 26 (19.40%) patients aged ≤ 55.

Alkaptonuria (AKU) is an extremely rare autosomal recessive metabolic disorder caused by deficiency of homogentisic acid oxidase and resulting in accumulation of homogentisic acid in collagenous structures. It is characterized by a triad of homogentisic aciduria, bluish-black discoloration of connective tissues (ochronosis) and arthropathy of large weight bearing joints. We report on a middle-aged female patient with bilateral severe ochronotic arthritis of both hips and shoulder joints requiring total joint replacements as staged procedures which were done without complications offering a complete pain relief and a satisfactory clinical and functional outcome.

Distal tibial fractures are common lower-limb injuries and are generally associated with a high risk of postoperative complications, especially in patients with multiple medical comorbidities. This study sought to ascertain the efficacy of retrograde intramedullary tibial nails (RTN) for treating extra-articular distal tibial fractures in high-risk patients. Between January 2019 and December 2021, 13 patients considered at high risk for postoperative complications underwent RTN fixation.

This meta-analysis focuses on the controversial efficacy and safety of microfragmented adipose tissue (MFAT) as compared with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in the clinical treatment of knee osteoarthritis (KOA). We have attempted to provide an evidence-based medicine protocol for the conservative treatment of KOA. Researchers collected and compared randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that used microfragmented adipose tissue and platelet-rich plasma to treat knee osteoarthritis.

This study was performed according to the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta- Analyses) guidelines. PubMed and Medline databases were searched in October 2023 for studies reporting outcomes of arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and stable medial meniscal ramp lesion treatment. Studies focused on diagnostic approaches, biomechanical properties, unstable ramp lesions, isolated ramp lesions, and concomitant intraarticular/extraarticular pathologies other than ACL rupture are excluded.
