Purpose: Slipped capital femoral epiphysis is commonly treated with in situ pinning (ISP) and more recently the modified Dunn procedure (MDP). This study retrospectively examines the preoperative risk factors and postoperative complications of patients treated with either ISP or MDP over a 12-year period.
Methods: A single-center, retrospective review was conducted on patients diagnosed and surgically treated with slipped capital femoral epiphysis from 2004 to 2016. Patients must have had preoperative imaging and a minimum of 6 months of clinical follow-up. Six preoperative demographic data (age, sex, intensity of symptoms, stability, trauma, and severity of slip), surgical details, and treatment outcomes were collected. Descriptive statistics were used to identify pertinent preoperative risk factors and postoperative complications in each treatment group.
Results: A total of 129 hips in 98 patients were treated (118 with ISP and 11 with MDP). Complications developed in 12 hips. Six hips developed osteonecrosis, two hips developed osteonecrosis and chondrolysis, two hips developed osteonecrosis and slip progression, and two hips developed slip progression only. Four of the 11 hips (36.4%) treated with MDP developed complications; 8 of the 118 hips (6.8%) treated with ISP developed complications.
Discussion: Complications developed in 9.3% of hips treated with ISP or MDP, with a higher rate of complications observed in the MDP group compared with the ISP group. This study is limited by the small sample size of the cohort and the disproportion in the number of cases in each treatment group. A multicenter study with larger sample sizes will be required to confirm these findings.

Purpose: Identifying muscles linked to postoperative physical function can guide protocols to enhance early recovery following total hip arthroplasty (THA). This study aimed to evaluate the association of preoperative pelvic and thigh muscle volume and quality with early physical function after THA in patients with unilateral hip osteoarthritis (HOA).
Methods: Preoperative Computed tomography (CT) images of 61 patients (eight males and 53 females) with HOA were analyzed.

Background: Population aging has led to a surge in elderly care needs worldwide. Bone aging, skeletal muscle degeneration, and osteoporosis pose critical health challenges for the elderly. The process of bone and skeletal muscle aging not only impacts the functional abilities but also increases fragility fracture risk.

Autoimmune polyglandular syndromes (APS) are characterized by associations of two or more autoimmune diseases (AID). APS type 3 is characterized by the presence of autoimmune thyroid disease associated with other AID, excluding adrenal gland involvement. Here we report a case of a 64-year-old male, with history of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), diagnosed at the age of 32, who was referred to a Diabetes consultation in 2014 due to poor metabolic control.

Introduction Implant technology for total hip arthroplasty (THA) was developed to improve hip function and patient satisfaction. Actis (DePuy Synthes, Warsaw, IN, USA) is a short fit-and-fill titanium stem, with a medial-collared and triple-taper (MCTT) geometry, that is fully coated with hydroxyapatite (HA). We evaluated the radiographic and clinical outcomes of the Actis Total Hip System during a mean follow-up of five years.

Retained drain fragments, though rare, can lead to significant complications in orthopedic surgery(1). This case report presents a 57-year-old woman who developed gluteal tendinopathy and Trendelenburg gait two years after a total hip arthroplasty (THA) due to a retained drain fragment. A less experienced surgeon encountered resistance during drain removal on the first postoperative day and applied excessive force, unknowingly leaving a fragment inside.
