We present a rare case of symptomatic adverse local tissue reaction in a 54-year-old female patient who had undergone total hip arthroplasty with ceramic-on-ceramic bearing. Inflammatory periarticular mass and osteolysis developed in the absence of cobalt chrome alloy interfaces and a modular neck component. On the pathologic images, there was no clear evidence of gross metal staining of tissues, metal corrosion, and ceramic or metal wear particles. However, there were impingement scars on the titanium alloy femoral neck and acetabular cup associated with a high combined anteversion angle of 75° (stem: 40° and cup: 35°), suggesting titanium debris release in vivo. Immunohistochemical staining proved a predominant infiltration of CD4+ T cells and the corresponding IL-17A response to metal. We conclude that neck-rim impingement may lead to the development of adverse local tissue reaction (periarticular mass and osteolysis) due to a metal hypersensitivity with the production of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-17A) by CD4+ T cells even in ceramic-on-ceramic total hip arthroplasty.

The prototype of a biomimetic multi-spiked connecting scaffold (MSC-Scaffold) represents an essential innovation in the fixation in subchondral trabecular bone of components for a new generation of entirely cementless hip resurfacing arthroplasty (RA) endoprostheses. In designing such a functional biomaterial scaffold, identifying the microstructural and mechanical properties of the host bone compromised by degenerative disease is crucial for proper post-operative functioning and long-term maintenance of the endoprosthesis components. This study aimed to explore, depending on the occurrence of obesity, changes in the microstructure and mechanical properties of the subchondral trabecular bone in femoral heads of osteoarthritis (OA) patients caused by the MSC-Scaffold embedding.

A 13-year-old boy was referred to orthopedic surgery for chronic intermittent pain and swelling of the left knee. Initial imaging was consistent with osteochondritis dissecans of the femoral condyle. Follow-up imaging demonstrated unexpected progression, with a mass extending into the notch, replacing the anterior cruciate ligament, and eroding the femoral and tibial condyles.

Article Synopsis
- * Data from 207 patients showed that factors like body mass index (BMI) and post-operative infections significantly impacted PROM scores and likelihood of returning to work.
- * The findings suggest that post-operative infections lead to considerably poorer outcomes, highlighting the need for careful management to improve patient recovery after surgery.

Introduction: Groin discomfort is one of the most common presenting complaints in health care and often requires ultrasound to detect hernias. However, such singular emphasis leads to over diagnosing hernia and other significant aetiologies in and around the groin are overlooked.
Topic Description: The article elaborates on the key areas a sonographer needs to focus on and presents a range of conditions responsible for groin pain other than hernia.

The periarticular adipose tissues play a crucial role in knee biomechanics, yet they are often overlooked in daily radiology practice. As the primary mechanical shock absorbers of the knee, intra-articular fat pads reduce the friction between intra-articular structures during joint movement. They also contribute to inflammatory regulation, endocrine secretion, and pain detection.
