Article Abstract
Background: Stapes prosthesis dislocation is the first cause of revision stapes surgery. To our knowledge, there is no data about stability of the incus attachment of manual crimped prosthesis of different materials. This study aimed to compare the dislocation incidence between titanium and fluoroplastic stapes prostheses.
Method: A monocentric retrospective cohort study was conducted between January 2013 and June 2022 in a tertiary-care center. All patients that underwent a primary stapes surgery with manually crimped fluoroplastic or titanium prostheses were included. Prosthesis dislocation from the incus was identified intraoperatively or with CT scan. The incidence of stapedial prosthesis dislocation over time was estimated using the Kalbfleisch and Prentice survival analysis method. Other indications for revision surgery prior to prosthesis dislocation were considered as competing events. Differences in the cumulative incidence functions between the fluoroplastic group and the titanium group was assessed using the Gray's test.
Results: Eight hundred and fifty-five patients underwent primary stapes surgery during the study period. Fluoroplastic prosthesis was used in 758 (88.7%) cases and titanium prosthesis in 97 (11.3%) cases. Median follow-up was 51.7 months (28.4-80.1). Dislocation was observed in 23 (3.0%) patients with fluoroplastic prosthesis and none (0.0%) in the titanium group. The probability of prosthesis dislocation at two years after surgery was 3.5% in the Teflon group and 0.0% in the Titanium group. No significant difference was found in the cumulative incidence of prosthesis dislocation between the fluoroplastic group and the titanium group (p = 0.12).
Conclusions: Despite lack of statistical power, our results suggest a trend in a more stable incus attachment of manually crimped titanium stapes prosthesis compared to fluoroplastic over time. Further prospective randomized studies could be valuable to assess our findings.

Clinical outcomes in patients undergoing reverse shoulder arthroplasty for dislocation arthropathy : a matched case-control study.

Division of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, The Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland, USA.
Aims: Dislocation arthropathy of the shoulder is an advanced arthritis resulting from recurrent glenohumeral dislocation with or without previous stabilization surgery. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical results of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) in patients with dislocation arthropathy with those with primary osteoarthritis (OA) and glenoid bone loss.
Methods: This was a retrospective matched cohort study including 22 patients with dislocation arthropathy who were treated by one surgeon between 2011 and 2021 and a matched group of 44 patients who were also treated with RTSA, for OA.
The role of dual mobility total hip arthroplasty to reduce risk of dislocation in patients with neurological disorders. a systematic review.

Background: Femoral neck fractures (FNF) are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in older adults, often requiring total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, THA is associated with high dislocation rates, particularly in patients with neurological disorders due to factors such as muscle weakness, cognitive impairments, and frequent falls. Dual mobility cups (DMCs) have been proposed as a solution to enhance stability and reduce dislocation rates in this high-risk population.

Instability following total hip arthroplasty (THA) remains a challenging complication. Dual-mobility (DM) hip components are aimed at improving joint stability by increasing the head-neck ratio and jump distance. However, data regarding the efficacy of these implants in the trauma setting are scarce.

Acta Orthop Belg
June 2025
Managing greater tuberosity (GT) fractures, especially those with glenohumeral (GH) dislocations, poses a challenge in balancing stable fixation while promoting early mobilization. While surgical fixation is often required for significant displacement, the optimal fixation technique remains debated due to the risk of complications and inconsistent outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of the Modified Hook Wiring (MHW) technique for open reduction and internal fixation of isolated displaced GT fractures.

PurposeThe primary objective of this study was to establish the anatomical landmarks intra-operatively to serve as safe zones at the wrist joint during percutaneous K-wire fixation of closed perilunate dislocation(PLD). The study then correlated the same landmarks in cadavers to look for potential neurotendinous injuries.MethodsA cohort of 10 individuals with closed acute peri lunate dislocation underwent closed reduction and percutaneous K-wire pinning.
