Review Case ReportsSpontaneous iliopsoas tendon rupture: a case report and brief review.
This report aims to describe the epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic workup, treatment, and rehabilitation, natural course, and possible risk factors of the rare entity spontaneous iliopsoas tendon rupture. ⋯ Spontaneous iliopsoas tendon rupture is a rare event, typically occurring in the elderly female. MRI is generally diagnostic, but signs are also often present on CT scans and sometimes even on plain X-ray. Conservative treatment has an excellent prognosis of full recovery within 6 weeks. The evidence on possible risk factors is scarce and conflicting.

Comparison of patient reported outcome measures after single versus two-stage revision for chronic infection of total hip arthroplasty: a retrospective propensity score matched cohort study.
Two-stage revision is the current gold standard treatment for infected total hip arthroplasties (THA) with good clinical outcomes. Single-stage revision THA offers the advantage of only a single surgical intervention, potentially leading to improved functional outcomes. This study aimed to compare the differences in patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and complications between single and two-stage revision THA for chronic periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). ⋯ Level III, case-control retrospective analysis.

Surgical experience as a decisive factor for the outcome of calcaneal fractures using locking compression plate: results of 3 years.
Calcaneal fractures account for 60-75% of all tarsal fractures and represent surgical challenges because of their frequency and complexity. Despite standardized procedures and new implants, literature reports high revision rates and unsatisfactory results. The study aims to describe the role of the surgeon with respect to the clinical outcome. ⋯ Level III, comparative series.
