Changes in the anatomical positions of the femoral nerve and artery in the lateral and supine positions: a multicenter retrospective study.

Introduction: Femoral nerve palsy and femoral artery injury are serious complications of total hip arthroplasty. However, few studies have compared the anatomical positions of these structures in different patient positions. This study aimed to compare the anatomical positions of the femoral nerve and artery in the lateral and supine positions.

Accuracy Verification of a Computed Tomography-Based Navigation System for Total Hip Arthroplasty in Severe Hip Dysplasia: A Simulation Study Using 3D-Printed Bone Models of Crowe Types II, III, and IV.

: The use of computed tomography (CT)-based navigation systems has been shown to improve surgical accuracy in total hip arthroplasty. However, there is limited literature available about the application of CT-based navigation systems in severe hip dysplasia. This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of a CT-based navigation system in patients with severe hip dysplasia using three-dimensional (3D)-printed bone models.

Mid-term Clinical and Radiographic Outcomes of the Actis Total Hip System: A Retrospective Study.

Introduction Implant technology for total hip arthroplasty (THA) was developed to improve hip function and patient satisfaction. Actis (DePuy Synthes, Warsaw, IN, USA) is a short fit-and-fill titanium stem, with a medial-collared and triple-taper (MCTT) geometry, that is fully coated with hydroxyapatite (HA). We evaluated the radiographic and clinical outcomes of the Actis Total Hip System during a mean follow-up of five years.

Type III Kounis Syndrome Caused by Iodine Contrast Media After Improvement of Allergic Symptoms.

Kounis syndrome is an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) caused by an allergic reaction that almost always occurs immediately and simultaneously with allergic symptoms. We present a case of Kounis syndrome type III that developed after complete resolution of contrast-induced anaphylaxis in a 60-year-old man with a coronary stent placed in the proximal left anterior descending (LAD) artery branch for ischemic heart disease. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed anaphylactic shock.

Double plating via anterolateral and posterolateral approach for distal femoral fracture.

Although there are some reports highlighting the applicability of double plates in distal femoral fractures, there is no standard approach or fixation method for supracondylar fractures combined with posterior coronal shear fractures. We report a case of distal femoral fracture treated with a lateral locking plate and posterior buttress plate using anterolateral and posterolateral approaches from one incision. A 70-year-old man was hit by a motorcycle and had an intra-articular distal femoral fracture involving a long medial proximal spike and a single lateral condyle fragment, with the lateral condyle fragment posteriorly displaced.

Reliability of the Garden Alignment Index and Valgus Tilt Measurement for Nondisplaced Femoral Neck Fractures.

Anteroposterior (AP) alignment assessment for nondisplaced femoral neck fractures is important for determining the treatment strategy and predicting postoperative outcomes. AP alignment is generally measured using the Garden alignment index (GAI). However, its reliability remains unknown.
