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: Periprosthetic femoral fractures (PFF) are a challenging complication of hip arthroplasty surgery, posing a high risk of morbidity, mortality and reoperation. The Vancouver Classification describes a B2 PFF around a loose stem with sufficient bone stock. In recent years, the number of B2 PFFs and cementation of femoral stems have increased substantially.

Electronic address:
Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) optical fiber sensors are appealing for biomolecular detection due to their inherent characteristics such as flexibility, real-time performance, and high sensitivity. Concurrently, incorporating SPR sensors into wearable devices has emerged as a significant strategy. However, the majority of traditional SPR optical fiber sensors utilize spectrometers for optical readout, which leads to a relatively bulky overall size of the sensing system.

Background: Transverse or short oblique periprosthetic femoral fractures around total hip arthroplasty (THA) stems are typically classified as B1 fractures (stem well-fixed) and usually managed with fixation. These fractures have high non-union rates. This study aimed to identify reoperation rates in patients with operatively managed transverse or short oblique fractures around a cemented polished taper-slip stem and determine any associations with treatment failure.

A thorough procedure was developed to efficiently manufacture dogbone samples using focused ion beam (FIB) milling for micro-tensile testing. A Bruker PI 89 PicoIndenter, Billerica, MA, USA, was used as a case study, although the analysis and results are applicable to other micro-mechanical testing systems capable of mounting a standard, Ø12.7 mm × Ø3.
