Background: The use of primary or revision stem during revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) for aseptic stem loosening with Paprosky type I/II femoral defect remains controversial. The aim of this study was to compare the outcomes of patients who underwent revision THA with a primary or revision stem.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 78 patients who received revision THA for aseptic stem loosening using primary (N = 28) or revision stems (N = 50). The bone defects were classified as Paprosky type I or II. The mean follow-up duration was 72.3 ± 34.7 months. The primary outcome domains included surgical complications and implant failures. The secondary outcome domains included medical complications, 30- and 90-day readmission, and Harris hip score (HHS).

Results: The use of revision stem was associated with a higher incidence than primary stem of patient complications (60.0% vs. 32.1%, p = 0.018), including intraoperative femur fracture (28.0% vs. 7.1%, p = 0.029) and greater trochanter fracture (16.0% vs. 0%, p = 0.045). The implant survival rate was comparable between groups. HHS at the final follow-up was similar.

Conclusion: With a lower risk of surgical complications and a similar rate of mid-term implant survival, cementless primary stem appears superior to revision stem in revision THA for aseptic stem loosening with Paprosky type I/II femoral defect.

Aims: Dislocation is a major concern following total hip arthroplasty (THA) for osteoarthritis (OA). Both dual-mobility components and standard acetabular components with large femoral heads are used to reduce the risk of dislocation. We investigated whether dual-mobility components are superior to standard components in reducing the two-year dislocation and revision risk in a propensity-matched sample from the Danish Hip Arthroplasty Register (DHR).

Aims: Hemiarthroplasty (HA) and total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) are often the preferred forms of treatment for patients with atraumatic avascular necrosis of the humeral head when conservative treatment fails. Little has been reported about the survival of HA and TSA for this indication. The aim of this study was to investigate the differences in revision rates between HA and TSA in these patients, to determine whether one of these implants has a superior survival and may be a better choice in the treatment of this condition.

Aims: The Exeter femoral stem has a cemented, polished taper-slip design, and an excellent track record. The current range includes short-length options for various offsets, but less is known about the performance of these stems. The aim of this study was to compare the survival of short-length stems with standard-length Exeter stems.

Background: Profunda artery perforator (PAP) flap following cancer surgery has emerged as a relevant alternative for breast reconstruction but is mainly used in cases where the deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap cannot be performed. The aim of this study was to compare the PAP and DIEP flaps' surgical and aesthetics outcomes in breast reconstruction.

Methods: Women who underwent breast reconstruction by DIEP or PAP flap at the Plastic Surgery Department of Georges Pompidou European University Hospital, Paris, France, between January 2012 and December 2020 were included.

Purpose: The application of robotics in revision arthroplasty particularly from unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) to total knee arthroplasty (TKA), is underexplored. The purpose of this study is to describe the surgical technique of an imageless robotic system used in the revision of UKA to TKA and to evaluate short- to mid-term outcomes.

Methods: This prospective study includes 35 patients treated from May 2020 to July 2023.
