El estudio evaluó los efectos de la tecnología intraoperatoria y los enfoques quirúrgicos sobre las tasas de luxación y las necesidades de revisión después de una artroplastia total de cadera (ATC) primaria. Encontró que la asistencia robótica reducía significativamente las tasas de dislocación en comparación con las técnicas convencionales y de navegación, con una tasa general de dislocación del 0,4% en la cohorte robótica frente al 1,2% en el grupo convencional. Además, el abordaje quirúrgico anterior, particularmente cuando se combina con fluoroscopia, se asoció con tasas de luxación más bajas en comparación con el abordaje posterior. Los hallazgos subrayan la importancia de seleccionar técnicas y tecnologías quirúrgicas apropiadas para mejorar los resultados de los pacientes, al mismo tiempo que reconocen limitaciones como el tamaño de la muestra y los posibles errores de codificación.

The correct adjustment of leg length is a major goal in the implantation of total hip replacements (THRs). Differences in leg length can lead to functional impairment and patient dissatisfaction. By determining leg length at an early stage, before the patient is discharged from hospital, compensatory measures such as the production of special insoles or orthopaedic footwear can be initiated promptly if there is a difference in leg length. Due to shortening of the period of time spent in hospital, the traditional measurement of leg length in a standing position may be increasingly subject to error. A protective posture immediately after surgery or the presence of a twisted pelvis, for example, due to scoliotic spinal misalignments, falsifies the measurement result in the standing position. Here, the measurement of leg length in the supine position may prove to be accurate immediately postoperatively, regardless of potential sources of error, and is to be compared with measurement in the standing position versus radiological measurement on the AP pelvic survey.

Hip fractures in the elderly population are common and the number of patients is rising. For young and geriatric patients with undisplaced fractures osteosynthesis is the primary type of treatment. The dynamic hip screw (DHS) is around for many years and proved its value especially in displaced fractures. Since 2018 the femoral neck system (FNS) is available as an alternative showing promising biomechanical results. The aim of this study is to evaluate clinical results of the FNS and compare it to the DHS.

Subtrochanteric and reverse oblique intertrochanteric fractures are challenging and often difficult to reduce. While intramedullary nailing (IMN) is considered the standard treatment, achieving anatomic reduction prior to fixation is essential. This study aimed to assess the impact of cerclage wiring with IMN on the outcomes and complication rate in treating subtrochanteric and reverse oblique intertrochanteric fractures.

Surgical treatment of pelvic fractures is an advanced intervention associated with multiple complications. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the rate of unplanned reoperations after pelvic fracture surgery. Secondary aims included occurrence of other adverse events and mortality.

Aim is to identify if age, sex, type of posterolateral approach (mini vs standard), surgical time and time from surgery to drainage removal were independent risk factors for heterotopic ossifications after total hip arthroplasty.
