The purpose of this investigation was to determine whether maintaining the knee in extension substantially limits hip flexion. The dominant lower extremity in 22 male subjects was goniometrically evaluated to determine hip flexion both when the knee was allowed to flex and when the knee was held in extension. Pelvic rotation values were subtracted from thigh rotation values to show true flexion of the femur in relation to the pelvis. Hip flexion averaged 49.25 degrees +/- 9.08 degrees in the straight-leg raise test and 94.14 degrees +/- 4.94 degrees in the flexed-knee raise test. This study shows that using a knee immobilizer in the postoperative treatment of posterior wall acetabular fractures should serve to protect the fracture site while still affording early ambulation.

Relationship between volleyball spike jump height and lower limb kinetics is stronger for orientation leg than rear leg.

The orientation and rear legs have different roles in the spike jump (SPJ) in volleyball, yet the relationship between the jump height and kinetics of each leg remains underexplored. We aimed to clarify the relationships between jump height and kinetics of the orientation and rear legs in the SPJ. This study included 18 female college volleyball players.

Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Ege University School of Medicine, Izmir, Türkiye.
Objective: This study aimed to compare preoperative and postoperative measures in haemophiliacs who had simultaneous total hip and knee arthroplasties.
Methods: A retrospective database search identified five patients with severe factor 8 deficiencies who underwent simultaneous hip and knee joint replacement surgery between 2002-2018. Preoperative and postoperative evaluations included Harris Hip Score (HHS), Knee Society Score (KSS), Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), range of motion, flexion contracture (FC), Visual Analog Scale (VAS), hip-knee angle, and leg length discrepancy.
Posterior cruciate ligament resection increases intraoperative lateral and medial flexion laxity during total knee arthroplasty.

University of Lille, 42 rue Paul Duez, 59000, Lille, Nord, France.
Purpose: This study reports the relationship between posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) retention vs resection and soft tissue laxity and balance throughout flexion using a robotically controlled ligament tensioner.
Methods: 55 robotic-assisted TKAs (Total knee arthroplasty) were retrospectively reviewe. The robotic ligament tensioner collected laxity data both before and after PCL resection.
Improved primary stability and load transfer of a customized osseointegrated transfemoral prosthesis compared to a commercial one.

Department of Industrial Engineering, Alma Mater Studiorum-University of Bologna, Bologna, Italy.
Background: Transfemoral osseointegrated prostheses, like other uncemented prostheses experience the risk of aseptic loosening and post-operative periprosthetic fractures, with an incidence between 3% and 30%. To date, however, osseointegrated off-the-shelf prostheses are manufactured in a limited number of sizes, and some patients do not meet the strict eligibility criteria of commercial devices. A customized osseointegrated stem was developed and a pre-clinical in vitro investigation of the stem was performed, to evaluate its biomechanical performance.

Hip involvement is a common condition in about one-third of patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). We assessed the incidence of possible factors that predispose patients to limited flexion after total hip arthroplasty (THA) for the treatment of axSpA. We retrospectively reviewed 516 patients with axSpA (759 hips) who underwent THA.
