Introduction: The anterior direct approach to the hip has become popular in recent years, as it favors rapid recovery and better evolution, as well as shorter hospital stay time, painkiller consumption, physical therapy requirement and thus a possible overall reduced cost. The results of the first 50 cases are reported, with this technique assisted by the use of a special traction table.
Material And Methods: Retrospective study of 50 hip arthroplasties in 47 patients by said method and special table, between April 2018 and April 2020. Etiology, gender, affected age and side, surgical lapse, transoperative bleeding and implant size were recorded. Immediate clinical and radiographic evolution was evaluated at the start and during the first 90 days.
Results: Sample of 18 men and 29 women. The average age was 67.7 years (range 28 to 94). Mean surgical time two hours 37 minutes, average bleeding 513 ml, clinical progress according to Harris scale: excellent 42 (84%), seven good (14%) and one bad (2%), due to infection. There were two calcar fractures without the need to remove an implant, eight cases of muscle mass injury, bruising in four (8%), femorocutaneous nerve paresis in six (12%), superficial infection two cases (4%). No dislocations.
Conclusion: The anterior approach is a safe and reliable technique with immediate satisfactory outcomes and minor complications.

T wave inversion (TWI) on the electrocardiogram (ECG) is a relatively common finding in athletes. It poses a diagnostic challenge, as it can indicate either a benign physiological pattern or an early sign of serious cardiac pathology. This expert opinion statement provides a comprehensive review of the current understanding of TWI in athletes, emphasizing the importance of its localization, associated clinical features, and demographic factors in guiding its interpretation and management.

This article aims to introduce a novel full-endoscopic anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) procedure to treat cervical myelopathy. Adoption of endoscopic anterior cervical procedures has been lagging due to safety concerns and the necessity of placing an interbody cage. We have developed novel instrumentation and a modified percutaneous anterior cervical approach that allows a safe and reproducible full-endoscopic ACDF.

Tinnitus arises from the intricate interplay of multiple, parallel but overlapping networks, involving neuroplastic changes in both auditory and non-auditory activity. Tailor-made notched music training (TMNMT) has emerged as a promising therapeutic approach for tinnitus. Residual inhibition (RI) represents one of the rare interventions capable of temporarily alleviating tinnitus, offering a valuable tool that can be applied to tinnitus research to explore underlying tinnitus mechanisms.

This article aims to demonstrate the uniportal full endoscopic surgery for treating complex anterior and posterior spinal pathology at the T1-2 level, offering a invasive, accessible, stable, and versatile approach to challenging anatomical situations. Uniportal full endoscopic surgery is one of the most minimally invasive spinal surgeries, utilizing slim, elongated, and compact instruments that provide access to lesions from any angle and distance. This characteristic makes the technique especially suitable for hard, such as the T1-2 level, where traditional approaches may be limited or difficult.
