Total hip arthroplasty without subtrochanteric femoral osteotomy is possible in patients with Crowe III/IV developmental dysplasia: total hip arthroplasty without femoral osteotomy.
We aimed to present our THA technique without femoral shortening osteotomy that we perform for the treatment of coxarthrosis on Crowe type III/IV developmental dysplasia of the hip and to present the early clinical outcomes of our patients. ⋯ Total hip arthroplasty without femoral osteotomy can be considered as a successful method in selected patients with Crowe III/IV coxarthrosis. It provides good clinical outcomes in the early period, reduces surgery duration, has acceptable complication rates, has high prosthesis survival rates.

Intramedullary nailing of abnormally bowed atypical femoral shaft fractures: surgical technique.
The treatment of atypical femoral shaft fractures with abnormal bowing provides a unique challenge for surgeons. Whilst intramedullary fixation of atypical femoral shaft fractures affords both mechanical and biological benefits, the mismatch between standard intramedullary devices and the abnormal femoral bowing in these patients makes this method of fixation challenging for the surgeon. ⋯ The critical factors we identified include lateral positioning of the patient for reduction, the use of a piriformis-start nail, and an entry point that was anterior in the sagittal profile and lateral in the coronal profile. This technique was easily replicable, facilitated more anatomical reduction and aided in avoiding complications.

Direct anterior decompression of L4 and L5 nerve root in sacral fractures using the pararectus approach: a technical note.
To describe a new surgical technique for neurolysis and decompression of L4 and L5 nerve root entrapment after vertical sacral fractures via the pararectus approach for acetabular fractures, and to present four case examples. ⋯ The pararectus approach allows for sufficient visualisation and direct decompression and neurolysis of the L4 and L5 nerve root entrapped in vertical sacral fractures. Although neurologic recovery was not achieved in all patients in this small case series, the approach may be a suitable alternative to posterior approaches and other anterior approaches such as the lateral window of the ilioinguinal approach.

The entry point of intramedullary tibia cutting guide should vary according to the individual tibia morphology in TKA.
In total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using the intramedullary tibial cutting guide (IMTCG), the positioning of the IMTCG is important for accurate tibial bone resection. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ideal entry point of IMTCG and affecting radiologic factors. ⋯ The ideal entry point of IMTCG should vary according to the individual tibial morphology.

Comparative StudySecond-look arthroscopic findings and clinical outcomes of meniscal repair with concomitant anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: comparison of suture and meniscus fixation device.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the healing rate of repaired meniscus and functional outcomes of patients who received all-inside meniscal repair using sutures or devices with concomitant arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. ⋯ Among the patients who received meniscal repair with concomitant ACL reconstruction, suture group showed better healing status of repaired meniscus based on the second-look arthroscopy than device group. However, no significant between-group difference of clinical success rate and functional outcomes was observed.
