AI Article Synopsis

Article Abstract

The informational value of C.T. concerning pelvic fractures is presented. Not all injuries to the hip joint and to the os sacrum can be seen on standard a.p.-projections, oblique views, special projections or conventional tomography. 17 typical examples have been selected from young patients with multiple injuries. C.T.-findings concerning fractures of the hip joint, of the os sacrum and of hidden pelvic fractures are described. Emphasis is placed on careful radiological analysis of fractures with special regard to the planning of conservative or operative treatment and also on the later functional results following fractures of the hip joint.

Background: Scotland has one of the highest rates of obesity in the developed world which increases risk of lower limb osteoarthritis resulting in total joint arthroplasty (TJA). This paper aimed to investigate (1) current practice of orthopaedic consultants in Scotland in managing end-stage hip and knee osteoarthritis in obese patients, (2) adherence to National guidelines, and (3) understanding of complication risks in lower limb TJA for BMI≥40.

Methods: A 15-question online survey was sent to all active members of Scottish Committee for Orthopaedics and Trauma (SCOT) between February and March 2023 to understand the current practices for managing obese patients with lower limb arthritis requiring joint replacement surgery.

Orthopedic Surgery, Brigham & Women's Hospital, Harvard University, Boston, MA, USA.

•The success of cementless fixation in TJA depends on a multitude of factors including biological, mechanical, implant, surgical, and material properties.•Biologic fixation has become the primary mode of fixation for the majority of primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) surgeries done today in the United States (US) due to its low complication rate and superior longevity compared to cemented fixation.•Cementless fixation has yet to gain wider acceptance in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and hip hemiarthroplasty due to several factors including host bone quality, implant design, and surgical technique.
