<p class="abstract">One of the most common treatment for fracture neck femur in elderly is bipolar hemi-arthroplasty which associated with patient being mobilized early, lower complication rate, longer implant life. Both uncemented and cemented arthroplasty have been good outcomes, however has higher incidences DVT due to thrombogenic potential cement addition hypercoagulability femoral f...

Abstract Aim To assess operative decision-making for patients with neck of femur fractures. Method 2-year retrospective analysis 150 in a single centre looking at outcomes focusing on complication rates and mortality. Results Mortality stood 6% 1 month 25% year compared to quoted literature (10% 30% year). Surgical varied between fracture pattern choice. Notably, the use cannulated screws displ...

OBJECTIVE To determine the best fit of a hamate osteochondral graft to reconstruct a palmar defect of a middle phalanx articular fracture using three-dimensional remodelling. METHODS The proximal middle phalanx and distal hamate articular surfaces of 10 cadaveric right hands were scanned using a three-dimensional laser scanner. A defect was marked on the middle phalanx digital image to simula...

BACKGROUND We deeloped a novel technique - fast mobile-window small incision (FMWSI) - a modification of minimally invasive surgery for total hip arthroplasty, which we believe is particularly suited to elderly patients with hip fractures. The present article aimed to introduce this technique and compare the clinical effects between the FMWSI technique and conventional incision (CI) for hip art...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE There is no consensus on which type of shoulder prosthesis should be used in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We describe patients with RA who were treated with shoulder replacement, regarding patient-reported outcome, prosthesis survival, and causes of revision, and we compare outcome after resurfacing hemi-arthroplasty (RHA) and stemmed hemi-arthroplasty (SHA). ...

 Background:It is possible that some hamate hook fractures are not diagnosed or treated, thereby affecting the study of their natural history. Study of the prevalence of incidental hamate hook fractures, nonunions, and other abnormalities on computed tomography (CT) ordered for another reason could document a subset of undiagnosed and untreated hamate hook fractures which might change our under...
