The objective of this study was to analyze the results of a cemented polyethylene model that captures the hip prosthetic head. In a retrospective study we reviewed 36 cemented constrained acetabular liners implanted in patients older than 75 years (mean 83, SD : 4.4), of which 30 patients were aged 80-90 years and 26 were women. The average period of follow-up of our patients was 25.4 months (1...

BACKGROUND Although surgical management of a first-time anterior shoulder dislocation (FTASD) can reduce the risk of recurrent dislocation, other treatment characteristics, costs, and outcomes are important to patients considering treatment options. While patient preferences, such as those elicited by conjoint analysis, have been shown to be important in medical decision-making, the magnitudes ...

Objectives: More recently, the glenoid track has been described as a continuum rather than binary “on-track/off-track” concept. “Distance to dislocation” (DTD), which defines how far an on-track lesion is from being off-track, proven be strong predictor for recurrent dislocation following arthroscopic Bankart repair. Risk of instability Latarjet it relates DTD, however, unknown. The purpose thi...

We performed ninety-five consecutive Latarjet procedures for the treatment of recurrent anterior instability of the shoulder between 1969 and 1983. In 1993, we retrospectively reviewed the clinical and radiographic results that were available for fifty-six patients (fifty-eight shoulders) who had been followed for an average of 143 years (range, ten to twenty-three years). The purpose of the st...

CONTEXT Patellar dislocation usually occurs to the lateral side, leading to ruptures of the Medial Patellofemoral Ligament (MPFL) in about 90% of the cases. Even though several prognostic factors are identified for patellofemoral instability after patellar dislocation so far, the appropriate therapy remains a controversial issue. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION Authors searched the Medline library for s...

Early treatment of first-time anterior glenohumeral dislocations still elicits controversy and active investigation. In 2001, Itoi and colleagues [3] introduced the concept of bracing in external rotation with increased tension of the subscapularis resulting in a coaptation of the avulsed capsulolabral complex back to its bony bed, which allowed for healing in a reduced position. After showing ...

This is a report of a 17-year-old wrestler who had suffered from a sport injury during an international competition that led to recurrent shoulder dislocation. Physical examination showed that he had a severe ligamentous laxity. In the magnetic resonance images there were combined humeral avulsion of the glenohumeral ligament (HAGL) and Bankart lesions. Combination of Bankart and HAGL lesions, ...

PURPOSE Patellofemoral pathology is common, and patellofemoral dislocation mainly affects adolescents and young adults. We conducted a meta-analysis exclusively of RCTs to compare the clinical outcomes of patellar dislocation patients managed operatively versus non-operatively. METHODS After systematic review of electronic databases and websites, a total of 7 RCTs reporting data on 402 subjec...

12 Abstract 13 Introduction Chronic dislocation of temporomandibular 14 joint is usually treated with conservative approaches, but 15 in some cases, surgery is needed to avoid recurrencies. The 16 present paper described a case report of a bilateral 17 intervention for articular tubercle height augmentation by 18 means of calvaria bone grafts. 19 Materials and Methods A 32-year-old woman attend...

CONTEXT Primary anterior shoulder dislocation is a frequent injury in young active patients. Traditionally, conservative nonoperative primary treatment has been advocated for a majority of first-time dislocators, whereas operative stabilization has been reserved for recurrent dislocators or those involved in strenuous physical activity. Currently, no consensus exists on whether to treat a first...
