Damages of the proximal interphalangeal joint after hand trauma and injuries are common. This results in deformity loss motion. Arthroplasty is a method that allows us to restore range motion improves joint. In this study, authors reported 2 cases which became post-traumatic hand, undergone silicone arthroplasty joint, with 1 year follow-up time. The flexion has increased from 40-110o 0-105o, r...

A rare occurrence of a case of Hoffa fracture pseudarthrosis in an alcoholic patient with genu valgum associated with venous insufficiency who underwent total knee arthroplasty is reported. The literature is reviewed and the main factors for surgical indication of total knee arthroplasty after a fracture of the knee are discussed.

Periprosthetic fractures associated with total knee arthroplasty are rare but present a challenging problem particularly when associated with revision arthroplasty. Fractures around tibial stems are particularly difficult with no accepted technique in their management. This case describes a tibial periprosthetic fracture following a revision knee arthroplasty which was successfully managed with...

The direct anterior approach to hip arthroplasty has become a popular technique. This technique, which was described almost 70 years ago, allows the surgeon to approach the hip through an internervous and intermuscular plane. Preliminary studies show that direct anterior hip arthroplasty may allow patients to recover faster with a lower dislocation rate. It is helpful to understand the history,...

Shoulder arthroplasty is a technically demanding procedure to restore shoulder function in patients with severe osteoarthritis of the glenohumeral joint. The modern prosthetic system exploit the benefits of modularity and the availibility of additional sizes of the prosthetic components. In this paper we describe the biomechanics of shoulder arthroplasty and the technique for shoulder replaceme...

INTRODUCTION Obesity rates continue to rise and more total hip arthroplasty procedures are being performed in progressively younger, obese patients. Hence, maintenance of long term physical function will become very important for quality of life, functional independence and hip prosthesis survival. Presently, there are no reviews of the long term efficacy of total hip arthroplasty on physical f...

BACKGROUND Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is the most common method of treatment of severe hip osteoarthritis. There is little data concerning the physical activity of total hip arthroplasty patients in Poland and investigations to explore this area are useful. The aim of the study was to describe the post-operative physical activity of total hip arthroplasty patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS A to...
