Anatomic placement of the acetabular implant in cementless total hip arthroplasty does not adversely affect the implant survival and patient satisfaction.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate if the acetabulum's conservative reaming with preservation of the medial acetabular bone and anatomic placement of the acetabular implant in cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA) has any adverse effect on the radiological outcome, long term implant survival and patient satisfaction.

Methods: 106 consecutive patients were identified from a single surgeon practice who underwent cementless THA from 2005 to 2010. Twenty-one were lost to follow up, and five patients died unrelated to THA.

Thirty-Day Mortality for Proximal Femoral Fractures Treated at a U.K. Elective Center with a Site-Streaming Policy During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Unlabelled: COVID-19 led to the reconfiguration of U.K. orthopaedic trauma services because surgical capacity was threatened in acute centers.

Case series of intradural disc in recurrence of lumbar disc prolapse.

Intradural disc herniation is a rare entity reported at 0.04-1.1% that occurs most commonly in the lumbar spine particularly at L4-L5 region.

Outcome measures evaluating physical functioning and their measurement properties in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: a protocol for a systematic review.

Introduction: Physical functioning (PF) is the ability to carry out the physical activity of daily living. It is an important outcome that provides a meaningful evaluation of individuals' life. PF can be assessed using patient-reported outcome measures, performance-based outcome measures or body structure and function measure.

Bi-planar intra-articular deformity following malunion of a Schatzker V tibial plateau fracture: Correction with intra-articular osteotomy using patient-specific guides and arthroscopic resection of the tibial spine bone block.

Malunited tibial plateau fractures are a surgical challenge. We report a case of a malunion following a Schatzker V tibial plateau fracture with a biplanar deformity of the medial hemi-plateau. This was treated with an intra-articular osteotomy and biplanar restoration of the medial hemi-plateau using patient-specific guides and 3-dimensional planning based on computed tomography (CT) images.

Voriconazole-induced Severe Periostitis Deformans.

Periostitis deformans is an uncommon condition of the skeletal system, mainly manifested as bone pain with or without bony swellings. Voriconazole-induced periostitis is widely reported in the literature, mainly in the organ transplant patients on immunosuppressant therapy. The patient in this case report, was not on any immunosuppressant therapy, but developed widespread periostitis deformans secondary to voriconazole, who was being treated for the base of skull aspergillus osteomyelitis.

Physician associates working in secondary care teams in England: Interprofessional implications from a national survey.

Physician associates (PAs) are a new type of healthcare professional to the United Kingdom; however, they are well established in the United States (where they are known as physician assistants). PAs are viewed as one potential solution to the current medical workforce doctor shortage. This study investigated the deployment of PAs within secondary care teams in England, through the use of a cross-sectional electronic, self-report survey.

Non-rinse skin cleansers: the way forward in preventing incontinence related moisture lesions?

Objective: The use of non-rinse skin cleansers in the care of patients who are at risk of tissue breakdown is not new within the National Health Service (NHS). Back to the Floor Continence Care Rounds (introduced in 2012 to facilitate bedside continence care education) at University Hospitals Birmingham had identified that in the current climate of austerity and efficiency savings, the use of non-rinse cleanser was being randomly rationed. Our objective was to determine whether the introduction of a smaller tube of non-rinse cleanser with targeted education would improve usage and ultimately improve the skin of incontinent patients.

The two-stage ipsilateral fibular transfer for tibial defect following tumour excision.

Method. We performed a two-stage vascularized ipsilateral fibular graft transfer for segmental tibial defect following excision of malignant bone tumours.Results.

Clear cell chondrosarcoma in association with niemann-pick disease.

Purpose: The purpose of this case report is to bring to light this unusual combination of two rare diseases, namely Neimann-Pick disease Type B and clear cell chondrosarcoma occurring in the same patient. This has not previously been reported in the world literature.

Subject: Niemann-Pick disease (NPD) is a rare autosomal recessive inborn error of metabolism.

Malignant chondroblastoma of the os calcis.

Patient. We describe a case of chondroblastoma of the os calcis which metastasized to the tibia, soft tissues and lung. A complete response of the lung lesions was noted with chemotherapy.
