BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) due to recurrent dislocations is associated with a high risk of persistent instability. We hypothesized that the use of dual-mobility cups would reduce the risk of re-revision due to dislocation after revision THA. PATIENTS AND METHODS 228 THA cup revisions (in 228 patients) performed due to recurrent dislocations and employing a sp...

CONTEXT The rising popularity and intensity of youth sports has increased the incidence of patellar dislocation. These sports-related injuries may be associated with significant morbidity in the pediatric population. Treatment requires understanding and attention to the unique challenges in the skeletally immature patient. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION PubMed searches spanning 1970-2013. STUDY DESIG...

Endovascular treatment of aneurysms has become an alternative to the neurosurgical approach. Here, we describe a patient presenting with a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) due to a basilar tip aneurysm, which was completely occluded with coils. Fourteen days later the patient died due to massive recurrent SAH. Histologic evaluation showed aneurysm rerupture with coil dislocation in the subarachnoi...

Patients suffering from generalised convulsions may dislocate their shoulders either anteriorly or posteriorly. Those with anterior dislocation are likely to have recurrent episodes because of secondary bony damage to the anterior rim of the glenoid and head of the humerus. In such patients there is high rate of failure of the standard soft-tissue stabilisation procedures. We have therefore dev...

Recurrent gleno-humeral dislocation is not a limb threatening condition but results in great distress in adolescent patients.[1] This may potentially lead to psychiatric and long term physical disability. Due to the rarity of this condition in children, the management is not always known. Herein, we present a perhaps unorthodox but successful management of this condition as measured by reduced ...
