Article Abstract
We report a case of ipsilateral periprosthetic fractures above and below the knee that occurred at different times due to navigation tracker pin and bone fragility. A 66-year-old Japanese woman with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) underwent a total knee arthroplasty. Four months post-surgery, a periprosthetic fracture above the knee at the navigation pin hole was detected. She underwent osteosynthesis and could walk independently, but she developed an ipsilateral tibial component fracture. Conservative treatment with a splint was followed by bone union. Patients with RA treated with oral steroids tend to develop ipsilateral periprosthetic fractures around the knee due to bone fragility.

Spacer dislocation is among the most frequent mechanical complications after revision total hip arthroplasty for periprosthetic hip infection. Spacer dislocations may be managed conservatively, but there are no guidelines on the rehabilitation of these patients, and the restriction of weight bearing is still under debate. We first report the case of a patient with hip spacer cranial dislocation, judged unfit to be surgically treated once more for a medium period, who started a rehabilitation program with partial weight bearing.

Due to demographic changes, a further increase in the number of arthroplasty procedures can be anticipated. As has been observed in recent years, a further increase in periprosthetic fractures is to be expected. An interprosthetic femoral fracture is a serious complication in cases of ipsilateral hip and knee endoprostheses.

Peri-implant femoral fractures are increasingly prevalent among the elderly, often leading to re-fractures due to osteoporosis and implant stress. Whole span plating (WSP) has been proposed as a surgical approach to mitigate this risk. A retrospective study was conducted on 10 patients (mean age: 79.

To ensure the long-term success of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) implants, it is imperative to understand their biomechanical performances. This study aims to compare the biomechanical performance of two stock implants (narrow and standard) under unilateral and bilateral clenching during both osseointegrated and non-osseointegrated conditions. Finite element models of a human mandible were developed from QCT data, with the left TMJ being replaced by the implants.

The exponential increase in the rate of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) has been accompanied by a rise in complication rates of this procedure. Of these, peri-prosthetic stress fractures can be particularly problematic due to their potential to cause significant impairment of shoulder function. Despite the association between these stress fractures and osteopenia/osteoporosis, pre-operative bone density assessment is not standard practice for elective RTSA.
