Background: An intertrochanteric fracture can cause ischemic necrosis in the femoral head, leading to negative effects. There are many types of implants for this fracture procedure, including metal-on-metal, metal-on-polyethylene, ceramic-on-ceramic, and ceramic-on-polyethylene, that are currently in use. The current modification is a hybrid prosthetic implant with high functional capacity compared with predecessors. This study aims to determine the procedure's efficacy in recovery, function restoration, complications, and cost-effectiveness.

Methods: Our study used a total of 200 patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty and 135 patients undergoing semi-hip arthroplasty to determine the effectiveness of total hip arthroplasty and femoral head arthroplasty From May 2022 to May 2023. Using the RAOSOFT sampling technique, 132 and 101 in the observation and control group, respectively, the sample is obtained with a confidence interval of 95%, an error margin of 1%, and response interval confidence of 50%. This is a descriptive type of research that relies on a meta-analysis of the available data from PubMed, scholarly articles, and the Chinese biomedical database to gather the fundamental data needed to conduct the research. Data obtained is analyzed using SSPS and STATA and presented in tables showing a summary of the objective measured value.

Result: In this study, the Harris joint score of patients in the total hip arthroplasty group was significantly higher than that of the control group, indicating that total hip arthroplasty can restore femoral head function, but still lacks absolute strength like half hip arthroplasty.

Conclusions: Femoral head replacement is a complex procedure, but the efficacy in restoring the function is better. In conclusion, despite slow healing and regeneration, the efficacy of complete artificial femoral head replacement is higher in restoring function for various fractures.

Background: Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a condition caused by abnormal contact between the femur head and the acetabulum, which damages the labrum and articular cartilage. While the prevalence and the type of impingement may vary across human groups, the variability among populations with short height or with a high prevalence of overweight has not yet been explored. Latin American studies have rarely been conducted in reference to this condition, including the Mayan and mestizo populations from the Yucatan Peninsula.

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.

An obturator hernia (OH) is a rare type of hernia that accounts for a very small proportion of all hernias and cases of small bowel obstruction. This condition predominantly affects older, underweight individuals, with the vast majority of patients being women. Laparotomy with simple suture closure of the defect is commonly used as surgical treatment for OH.

Background: While the surgical treatment of mandibular stage 3 medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is well-documented, research on maxillary stage 3 MRONJ is limited. Antiresorptive medications can induce MRONJ and atypical femoral fracture (AFF), but their impact on the feasibility of using fibula flaps for reconstruction remains controversial. This study aimed to assess the surgical outcomes and functional recovery of fibula flap reconstruction for maxillary stage 3 MRONJ, considering both recipient and donor site outcomes.

The growth of periacetabular osteophytes with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) remains unclear. This study aimed to perform a three-dimensional assessment of periacetabular osteophytes and the effects of superiorization (SP) and lateralization (LT) of the femoral head on osteophyte formation. Female (n = 105) with unilateral hip osteoarthritis due to DDH who underwent total hip arthroplasty between 2016 and 2022 were included.
