UNASSIGNED: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a common and successful operation. However, dislocation remains a significant cause of implant failure in fixed-bearing designs. This study investigated the effect of dual-mobility implants (DM) compared to fixed-bearing (FB) implants on all-cause revisions, revisions due to dislocation, post-operative complications and functional scores in patients undergoing primary and revision THA.
UNASSIGNED: A systematic review was performed including studies that compared DM with FB implants in primary or revision THA according to PRISMA guidelines, and was registered in PROSPERO (ID CRD42023403736). The Cochrane Library, Embase, MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Scopus were searched from the time of database inception to March 12, 2023. Eligible studies underwent meta-analysis and risk of bias assessment using the ROBINS-I tool. Treatment effects were assessed using odds ratios and data were pooled using a random-effects maximum-likelihood, where appropriate.
UNASSIGNED: Eight comparative, non-randomised studies involving 2810 DM implants and 3188 FB implants were included. In primary THA, there was an imprecise estimate of the difference in all-cause revision (OR 0.82, 95 % CI 0.25-2.72) and a significant benefit for the DM cohort in revision due to dislocation (OR 0.08, 95 % CI 0.02-0.28). In revision THA, the DM cohort showed benefit in all-cause revision (OR 0.57, 95 % CI 0.31-1.05) and revision due to dislocation (OR 0.14, 95 % CI 0.04-0.53). DM implants were associated with a lower incidence of implant dislocation and infection. The analysis of functional outcomes was limited due to reporting limitations. No intraprosthetic dislocations were observed.
UNASSIGNED: The results suggest that contemporary DM designs may be advantageous in reducing the risk of all-cause revision, revision due to dislocation, and post-operative complication incidence at mid-term follow-up. Further high-quality prospective studies are needed to evaluate the long-term risk profile of this design, especially in the revision context.

OBJECTIVE: Dual mobility (DM) implants have received increasing interest in revision surgery due to their increased stability. The aim of this systematic review was to compare outcomes of DM versus conventional fixed bearing (FB) implants in revision Total Hip Arthroplasty (r-THA).
METHODS: A comprehensive search was performed using the PubMed, Embase, and MEDLINE databases between January 2000 and 2023. Outcome measures included re-revision due to dislocation, re-revision for other causes, all-cause re-revision, total complication rate, and functional outcome measures. The Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies (MINORS) assessment tool was used to evaluate methodological quality and the risk of bias. A pooled meta-analysis was conducted, with an assessment of heterogeneity using the Chi-square and Higgins I2 tests. A further sub-group analysis was performed between DM implants and larger femoral head (> 36 mm) FB implants.
RESULTS: A total of 13 studies met the final inclusion criteria, with an overall number of 5,004 r-THA hips included (2,108 DM and 2,896 FB). The DM implants had significantly lower odds of re-revision due to dislocation (OR [odds ratio] 0.38, P < 0.001), aseptic loosening (OR 0.54, P = 0.004), and all-cause re-revision (OR 0.55, P < 0.001) compared to FB implants. No significant difference was seen in the odds of re-revision due to periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) (OR 0.99, P = 0.94) or periprosthetic fracture (OR 0.59, P = 0.13) between the two groups. The total number of complications showed an odds benefit in favor of DM implants (OR 0.43, P < 0.001). In the subgroup analysis, there was no significant difference in the odds of re-revision due to dislocation (OR 0.69, P = 0.11) between DM and larger femoral head FB implants.
CONCLUSIONS: Based upon current literature, it appears DM implants are an effective modality for reducing dislocation following r-THA with lower complication rates compared to FB implants. However, further prospective randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with longer term follow up are required.

Pediatric patellar instability can impair function and restrict activity participation. If left untreated, it can lead to a degenerative knee. The incidence of patellar dislocations is highest in adolescents between 10 and 17 years of age; more than half of all first-time patellar dislocations occur during sports. This article reviews the evidence of risk factors for traumatic patellar instability, surgical interventions, and return-to-sport (RTS) considerations for pediatric and adolescent athletes. Anatomic risk factors for patellar instability in pediatric and adolescent patients include trochlear dysplasia, elevated tibial tuberosity-trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance, patella alta, genu valgum, femoral anteversion and tibial torsion, and hyperlaxity.

UNASSIGNED: The Latarjet procedure was developed for the treatment of anterior shoulder instability in young, high-demand patients with attritional glenoid bone loss, whose risk of redislocation following primary dislocation may exceed 90%. Coracoid graft osteolysis and prominent screws are commonly observed in late computed tomography (CT) scans of patients who re-present following the procedure, but the clinical relevance of osteolysis in the overall Latarjet cohort is undetermined. We aimed to evaluate clinical and radiological outcomes in patients who underwent the Latarjet procedure, and to determine if severe coracoid graft osteolysis compromised clinical outcomes.
UNASSIGNED: This was a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent the open Latarjet procedure. Patients were invited via an e-questionnaire that contained a Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI), and queried about redislocation and reoperation since index surgery. Preoperative glenoid bone loss was calculated on CT using the best-fit circle method. Osteolysis was graded (0, screw head buried in graft; 1, screw head exposed; 2, threads exposed; 3, complete resorption/severe osteolysis) at the level of the proximal and distal screws respectively, on axial CT scans performed ≥ 12 months postoperatively.
UNASSIGNED: Between 2011 and 2022, a single surgeon performed 442 Latarjet procedures. One hundred fifty eight patients responded to the questionnaire at median (interquartile range [IQR]) 44 (27-70) months postoperatively, among whom the median (IQR) WOSI score was 352 (142-666) points (0 = best, 2100 = worst). Recurrent anterior instability occurred in 3/158 (2%) patients. One patient required reoperation for this indication. Among patients who had CT scans ≥ 12 months postoperatively (median [IQR] 40 [29-69] months), 1 patient developed severe osteolysis around both screws (WOSI = 90), 17/62 (27%) patients developed severe osteolysis around 1 screw, all of which were proximal (median [IQR] WOSI = 235 [135-644]), and 44/62 (71%) patients did not develop severe osteolysis around either screw (median [IQR] WOSI = 487 [177-815]). There were no statistically significant differences in WOSI scores between groups based on the presence of severe osteolysis.
UNASSIGNED: The Latarjet is reliable procedure that has a low rate of redislocation and reoperation. Severe coracoid graft osteolysis occurs with time, and always affects the proximal graft first. The presence of severe osteolysis did not compromise clinical outcomes.

Isolated volar distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) dislocation is a rare condition with only a few cases reported in the literature. Its diagnosis is often overlooked in the acute phase, and there is no consensus in its management. We present the case of a 20-year-old male patient with an isolated volar radioulnar dislocation, together with a review of the literature. The aim is to present and summarize the acute management of this condition and propose a therapeutic algorithm.

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is often regarded as one of the most successful surgical techniques developed in the twenty-first century. However, it is associated with complications such as prosthetic instability, dislocations, or infections. Dual-mobility (DM) implants have been developed with the goal of reducing the incidence of dislocations by increasing the femoral head-neck ratio, maximising hip stability, and improving the range of motion (ROM) before impingement and dislocation. This systematic review aims to comprehensively compare the safety and efficacy of DM versus fixed-bearing (FB) implants in primary THA patients. A comprehensive search strategy of PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science Core Collection databases was executed to identify pertinent literature comparing DM and FB implants in THAs. Eligible studies underwent independent screening, and data were systematically extracted. The analysis employed pooled risk ratios (RR) for dichotomous outcomes and mean differences (MD) for continuous variables, each accompanied by their respective 95% confidence intervals (CI). Our systematic review and meta-analysis included nine studies encompassing 22,277 patients. The DM group had a significantly reduced incidence of dislocations compared to the FB group (RR 0.25, 95%CI [0.13, 0.47]; p-value <0.0001) and a significantly shorter length of stay (MD -9.92, 95%CI [-15.53, -4.32]; p-value = 0.0005). The FB group, however, had a significantly shorter operative time compared to the DM group (MD 10.41, 95%CI [7.64, 13.17]; p-value < 0.00001). We did not identify any significant statistical differences between the DM and FB groups regarding patient-reported outcome measures, the incidence of all-cause readmissions, the incidence of peri-prosthetic fractures, the incidence of infections, or the incidence of groyne pain.

UNASSIGNED: To compile the existing literature on bilateral anterior shoulder dislocation (BASD) and analyze patient demographics, mechanisms of injury, injury characteristics, management, and outcome.
UNASSIGNED: This systematic review was conducted in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Online databases, including Ovid Medline 1946-, Embase.com 1947-, Scopus 1960-, Cochrane Central, and Clinicaltrials.gov were systematically queried. Studies eligible for inclusion were case reports or case-series, documenting BASD. Two reviewers independently screened and applied a set of a priori exclusion criteria to each returned study. Data were extracted, compiled, and synthesized from each reported case of BASD. Contingency tables/Chi-Square Analyses, T-tests, and univariate regression analyses were conducted to assess relationships between different variables.
UNASSIGNED: Eighty-one studies (87 cases of BASD) were included. Patients were 41.1 (SD± 19.5) years old and most were male (n=63; 72.4%). Around a quarter of patients (28.7%) had a history of epilepsy/seizures or were being worked-up for such. Younger males were more likely to have BASD due to a seizure or electrocution (P<0.05). Close to a third of cases (n=27; 31.0%) were delayed in presentation. Those sustaining seizures or electrocutions were more likely to be delayed in presentation (P=0.013). Most events resulted in simple dislocations that were closed reduced successfully. BASD resulting from seizures or electrocutions were more likely to be fracture-dislocations (P=0.018); and in younger patients with fracture-dislocations, closed reduction was more often to fail or not be attempted (P<0.05). Median follow-up was 6 months (IQR: 3 months - 12 months). Seven patients (10.6%) had complications and 4 (2.3%) demonstrated recurrent instability.
UNASSIGNED: In young males presenting with BASD without known trauma, suspicion should be high for a convulsant event. In patients with a known seizure disorder who present with chronic bilateral shoulder or arm pain, BASD should be considered and work-up should be expedited to avoid misdiagnosis.

Background  Posttraumatic extensor carpi ulnaris (ECU) instability is an increasingly recognized cause of ulnar-sided wrist pain that occurs when the ECU subsheath is disrupted. Purpose  The purpose of this systematic review was to assess outcomes of operatively treated posttraumatic ECU instability. Methods  A systematic search of Medline, Embase, Web of Science, and CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature) databases was performed using \"extensor carpi ulnaris\" as the keyword. Studies were systematically screened and data extracted independently by two reviewers. Results  Eight retrospective studies met the inclusion criteria with a total of 97 wrists. The mean age was 32 years (13-61). Patients underwent either primary repair (40%) using sutures and anchors, or reconstruction (60%) using extensor retinaculum flaps. One study performed deepening of the osseous ulnar groove. Two studies compared preoperative and postoperative values. They both reported a significant improvement in pain scores, functional scoring instruments, satisfaction, and grip strength. The rest of the studies reported similarly favorable outcomes across the same outcomes. Concomitant pathologies were identified in 66% of the study population. Complications occurred in 9% of the sample size, including ECU tendinitis, ulnar sensory nerve irritation, and reintervention for concomitant pathology. None of the studies reported recurrence or reruptures. However, five patients (6.7%) did not return to their previous activity level. Conclusion  Patients can expect favorable outcomes with a potentially low complication rate. Nevertheless, the heterogeneity of the sample population, operative techniques, and outcome measures warrant further standardized studies. Level of Evidence  IV.

Fractures of the ipsilateral tibia and femur, frequently combined with soft tissue damage and dislocations, describe floating knee injuries, a complicated orthopedic condition. Epidemiological data suggest that floating knee injuries account for a small but significant proportion of traumatic orthopedic injuries, with a higher incidence observed in younger males engaged in high-risk activities. Anatomically, floating knee injuries involve fractures of the femur and tibia, ligamentous disruptions, and soft tissue damage, contributing to the complexity and severity of these injuries. An extensive analysis of floating knee injuries is given in this paper, including information about epidemiology, anatomy, pathophysiology, categorization, management approaches, complications, prognosis, and current and upcoming developments.
