Article Abstract
Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the survival of a cementless component without screw holes in total hip arthroplasty (THA) at a minimum follow-up of 20 years. This design has the benefits of maximizing bone contact and reducing osteolysis by eliminating channels to backside wear. However, transacetabular screws cannot be used.
Methods: A total of 71 hips in 58 patients receiving the same model of cementless component without screw holes (Depuy Duraloc 100 hydroxyapatite (HA) component) from June 1999 to March 2003 were prospectively followed up. All patients were allowed to have immediate full weightbearing. The mean age at THA was 53.7 years (28 to 74). Osteonecrosis was the leading cause of THA. Survival was assessed with any revision and component revision as the endpoint. Radiological parameters, including lateral opening angle, and the components' vertical and horizontal migration distances, were measured and compared between the early postoperative period and final follow-up.
Results: Overall, 54 hips were assessed at a minimum 20-year follow-up. The mean follow-up was 22.9 years (20.9 to 24.5). Two component revisions occurred at 17.5 and 17.6 years later. Both components were well fixed but were revised, due to the need to upsize the articulation and component malpositioning, respectively. Conventional polyethylene (PE) was used in both hips, and 14 other hips were revised with the components well fixed and not revised. The estimated survival of the acetabular component and THA at 20 years was 96.4% and 74.5%, respectively. Mean changes in lateral opening angle and vertical and horizontal migration distances were 0.48° (SD 1.45°), -0.06 mm (SD 1.44), and -0.36 mm (SD 1.36), respectively, with no statistical significance.
Conclusion: This study provides evidence of excellent long-term survival of cementless components without screw holes. Immediate postoperative weightbearing did not lead to component migration in the long term.

Introduction This study focuses on the tibial tunnel in the pull-out repair of medial meniscus posterior root tears (MMPRTs), with attention to the distal hole as the anatomical vector. Little research has explored this aspect, as previous studies have mainly emphasized the proximal hole as the attachment point. Methods The anatomical vector was identified by analyzing magnetic resonance images of 84 healthy knees.

The increasing adoption of back-to-back built-up cold-formed steel (CFS) channel columns in construction is attributed to their lightweight nature, versatility in shape fabrication, ease of transportation, cost efficiency, and enhanced load-bearing capacity. Additionally, the incorporation of web openings facilitates the integration of electrical, plumbing, and heating systems. These built-up sections are widely utilized in wall studs, truss elements, and floor joists, with intermediate screw fasteners strategically positioned at regular intervals to prevent the independent buckling of channels.

Introduction: Severe maxillary atrophy presents significant challenges in oral rehabilitation, particularly for patients refusing conventional bone augmentation procedures. This study evaluates the 3-year clinical outcomes of digitally planned subperiosteal implants in 12 cases of extreme atrophy (Class V and VI of the Cawood and Howell Classification), analyzing survival rates, complication patterns, and providing evidence-based technical recommendations.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective case series included patients with maxillary atrophy who declined conventional implants or bone grafting, opting instead for immediate loading under local anesthesia.

Background: Over the last 30 years, total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) has become a viable surgical option for end-stage ankle arthritis. The aim of TAA is to relieve pain and preserve ankle joint range of motion, which, by definition, shields adjacent joints. Alignment is essential for the longevity and survival of TAA, since malalignment of TAA components can cause abnormal loading patterns with subsequent polyethylene wear and early implant failure.
