Purpose: Modular stems in revision total hip arthroplasties allow diaphyseal fixation and optimal restoration of the architecture of the proximal femur. Several studies report metaphyseal implant breakage having a negative impact on survivorship. The aim of the study was to evaluate the outcome of an uncemented modular fluted tapered stem (MFT) in revision surgery.
Methods: In a retrospective study, 316 patients who had revision surgery using the same design of MFT implant (Modular Revision Stem [MRS], Lima Corporate, Italy) between 2012 and 2017 were identified. Patients were male in 51% of cases and mean age was 74 years. Indications were 110 periprosthetic fractures, 98 periprosthetic joint infection, 97 aseptic loosening, 10 instability and 1 other cause. Survivorship, complications, clinical and radiographic outcomes, were assessed. Mean follow-up was 5 years.
Results: There was no implant breakage. At 5-year follow-up, the survivorship, free from revision for aseptic loosening and free of revision for any reason were 96% and 87%, respectively. At last follow-up (8 years), these figures were 92% and 71%, respectively. 31 implants were revised. The risk of revision for any cause was higher for extreme length metaphyseal implants, hazard ratio was 3.7 (95% CI, 1.82-7.52). A mean stem subsidence of 9 mm was noted in 37 cases; 4 were revised for aseptic loosening. The Harris Hip Score at final follow-up was 82.
Conclusions: At 5-year follow-up, the MFT implant showed a good survivorship and outcomes with no specific complications. Unlike literature reports, no specific complications occurred with this design. Stem junction positioning and therefore metaphyseal length may be key to optimise long-term survivorship. However, a longer follow-up is needed as implant breakage is more often seen after long implantation times.

3D-Printed Prosthesis with an Articular Interface for Anatomical Acetabular Reconstruction After Type I + II (+ III) Internal Hemipelvectomy: Clinical Outcomes and Finite Element Analysis.
J Bone Joint Surg Am

Musculoskeletal Tumor Center, Department of Orthopedics, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, People's Republic of China.
Background: Pelvic reconstruction after type I + II (or type I + II + III) internal hemipelvectomy with extensive ilium removal is a great challenge. In an attempt to anatomically reconstruct the hip rotation center (HRC) and achieve a low mechanical failure rate, a custom-made, 3D-printed prosthesis with a porous articular interface was developed. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical outcomes of patients treated with this prosthesis.

Objective: The objective of this study was to compare a multiple pelvic screw fixation strategy (dual bilateral 4 pelvic screw fixation [4PvS]) with the use of single bilateral 2 pelvic screw fixation (2PvS), with the aim of addressing lumbosacral junction stability.
Methods: This analysis is a single-center, retrospective review of ASD patients treated between 2015 and 2021. All patients had a minimum 2-year follow-up and spinal fusion to the sacrum without sacroiliac fusion and met at least one radiographic and procedural criterion: pelvic incidence-lumbar lordosis ≥ 20°, T1 pelvic angle ≥ 20°, sagittal vertical axis ≥ 7.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, C.S. Mott Children's Hospital, Michigan Medicine, Ann Arbor, MI.
Background: Prune belly syndrome (PBS) is a rare condition characterized by absence of abdominal musculature, cryptorchidism, and obstructive uropathy. The most common orthopaedic problem is scoliosis, yet no reports on growth-friendly surgical treatment of early-onset scoliosis (EOS) exist. Our purpose was to evaluate outcomes of distraction-based implants in children with PBS.

Background: The shoulder girdle and proximal humerus are common sites for neoplastic lesions be it benign or malignant. We aimed to evaluate the outcomes of a frugal method of reconstruction of the proximal humerus for neoplastic lesions at short to medium term follow-up.
Methods: Data for this retrospective case series was collected from an electronic data base held at the primary authors institution.

Background: The purpose of this study was to report on 2-year results of vertebral body tethering (VBT), performed under a Food and Drug Administration protocol, to obtain insight into outcomes and complications.
Methods: Forty prospectively enrolled patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) who had a Sanders score of ≤4 or a Risser score of ≤2 underwent VBT for curves between 40° and 70°. Surgical, radiographic, and patient-reported outcomes were reviewed at a minimum 2-year follow-up.
