Heterotopic ossification after total hip replacement and the HLA system in the Sicilian population
Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a frequent complication following total hip arthroplasty (THA). At present, the etiology HO is unknown, however, genetic predisposition may be a cause of HO in individuals in w...

MP-Link cementless distal fixation modular prosthesis for revision total hip arthroplasty
The aseptic loosening of the femoral stem may require different treatments due to the complex problems related to the bone resorption (qualitatively and quantitatively): a minimum bone stock loss may result in...

Proximal load transfer with a stemless uncemented femoral implant
Bone stock preservation is crucial when performing total hip replacement in young patients. The aim is to save good bone stock for a possible revision procedure. Furthermore, there is an increasing demand from...

How four and twelve weeks of implantation affect the strength and stiffness of a tendon graft securely fixed in a bone tunnel: a study of Evolgate fixation in an extra-articular model ovine model
Healing of a tendon graft to a bone tunnel is slower than the healing of a bone plug. Therefore, the device chosen for hamstring fixation may need to maintain its strength and stiffness longer than the device ...

Biomechanical evaluation of six femurgraft-tibia complexes in ACL reconstruction
Soft tissue graft-tibial tunnel fixation is considered the weak point in reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). We hypothesized that the biomechanical properties of fixation devices used in AC...

Tissue-sparing surgery with the bi-unicompartmental knee prosthesis: retrospective study with minimum follow-up of 36 months
Despite its theoretical advantages in terms of less invasive surgery, bi-unicompartmental knee replacement still represents a controversial knee reconstructive procedure. Many orthopaedic surgeons are skeptica...

Patellar tendon autograft versus hamstring tendon autograft in arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: appraisal of the evidence
Arthroscopy–assisted reconstruction of a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a commonly performed surgical procedure. The type of graft used for ACL reconstruction has traditionally been an autograft; the...

An unusual Monteggia type 2 fracture
This paper reports an unusual and undescribed Monteggia variant which was not diagnosed at its initial presentation. An extensive literature search did not reveal any similar case reports. This case report re–...

The piriformis syndrome: a case report of an unusual cause of sciatica
Notwithstanding the advent of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), some etiologies of piriformis syndrome continue to remain obscure and elude this investigation. We report a case characterized by a long history ...

Uncemented total ankle arthroplasty in post-traumatic osteoarthritis: 3- to 7-year follow-up
Ankle replacement in post-traumatic arthritis is a challenging procedure, and adequate data are lacking about its results, as most studies are mainly focused on the results of ankle arthroplasty in primary ost...

Effects of alendronate medication on the fate of the necrotic femoral head of rats with or without core decompression
After producing bilateral osteonecrosis of the femoral head, rats were medicated alendronate according to one of 6 schedules. In group 1 injection was administered one week prior to the operation of devascular...

Very low wear rate measured in a hip endoprosthesis removed after 38 years
A Marino Zuco hip prosthesis implanted in 1963 in a 13–year–old girl with congenital hip dislocation was revised in 2001 for aseptic loosening. At the time of revision surgery, no granulomatous tissue reaction...
