Short neck-preserving femoral stem for total hip arthroplasty: medium-term results of a 68-case series.
Short stems seem to be a good alternative for young patients as they offer promising results, rapid recovery and preservation of metaphyseal bone stock. This is one of the few studies in the literature to report medium-term clinical-radiological results for short hip stems. ⋯ The use of ultra-short cylindrical stems with complete anchorage in the femoral neck was shown to offer promising medium-term results. Such stems appear to be a good option for young patients, who are likely to require several revisions over their lifetime.

Case ReportsLUCL reconstruction of the elbow: clinical midterm results based on the underlying pathogenesis.
Traumatic and atraumatic insufficiency of the lateral ulnar collateral ligament (LUCL) can cause posterolateral rotatory instability (PLRI) of the elbow. The influence of the underlying pathogenesis on functional outcomes remains unknown so far. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of the initial pathogenesis of PLRI on clinical outcomes after LUCL reconstruction using an ipsilateral triceps tendon autograft. ⋯ Therapeutic study, LEVEL III.

Hallux anatomy: much ado about shoes-an attempt to prove that constrictive V-shaped toe-box shoes deform the hallux.
A question still remains as to whether constrictive toe-box shoes (TBS) cause disability only due to pain on pressure points or if they can cause permanent changes in the hallux anatomy. The aim of this study is to compare the hallux morphology in 3 groups classified according to their use of constrictive or open TBS. ⋯ 3.

Fractures of the proximal radius in children: management and results of 100 consecutive cases.
Pediatric radial neck and head fractures are rare, accounting for only 1% of all fractures in children. The aim of this study is to describe the management and results of the respective fracture types and different injury characteristics. ⋯ Proximal radial fractures occur predominately without dislocation. Good results are obtained with conservative treatment throughout. In cases with displacement exceeding growth-related correction, ESIN is the undisputed treatment of choice. Open surgery and long immobilization periods should be avoided whenever possible.

Two positioned MRI can visualize and detect the location of peripheral rim instability with snapping knee in the no-shift-type of complete discoid lateral meniscus.
We evaluated the efficacy of two positioned magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for visualizing the snapping phenomenon and detecting peripheral rim instability (PRI) in no-shift-type complete discoid lateral meniscus (CDLM). ⋯ Two positioned MRI visualized the snapping phenomenon. Meniscal shift on two positioned MRI was an important predictive sign of overall PRI, anterior PRI, and posterior PRI in no-shift-type CDLM.
