These data suggest that including the contralateral hip in the cast after open reduction is not essential as it does not seem to improve stability.

Psychopathologic factors, particularly pain catastrophizing, have an impact on postoperative pain after TKR. Preoperative screening and concurrent treatment of the diagnosed psychological disorder may improve patient-perceived outcomes.

The length of the deep layer is dependent on the TFL, since the profound part of the iliotibial band reaches from the TFL to the hip-joint capsule. The deep layer covers the hip-joint capsule, rectus, and lateral vastus muscles in the DAA interval. To access the precapsular fat pad and the hip-joint capsule, the deep layer has to be split in all ap...
Anatomical reconstruction in total hip arthroplasty (THA) allows for physiological muscle function, good functional outcome and implant longevity. Quantitative data on the effect of a loss or gain of femoral offset (FO) are scarce. The aim of this study was to quantitatively describe the effect of FO changes on abductor moment arms, muscle and join...

The location, type and length of the stem anchorage are not only influenced by the kinked or straight design, but in particular also by the surgical approach. Also in the case of an extensive proximal bone defect, in the endofemoral approach, both a conical and a three-point anchorage occur. Here, the length of the conical anchorage determines the ...

Acetabular overcoverage in the horizontal plane plays an important role in the onset of early hip arthritis. Considering that this condition is usually underdiagnosed, we suggest the anterior sector acetabular angle, the posterior sector acetabular angle, and the horizontal acetabular sector angles be routinely included in decision-making algorithm...

These study data seem to confirm our hypothesis that plate fixation for DHFs guarantees adequate fracture osteosynthesis and satisfactory functional outcomes at medium to long-term follow-up, not only in elderly patients, but also in octogenarian osteoporotic patients (≥85 years) with 13-C1 and 13-C2 fracture patterns, while an alternative solution...

People awaiting hip or knee joint replacement surgery might present with complex conditions that predispose them to greater risk of falling post-operation. Review of general health and history of falling is recommended pre-operatively to identify patients at risk.
