The June 2013 Wrist &
Hand Roundup. 360 . looks at: whether size is a limitation; cancellous bone grafting in scaphoid nonunion; the Kienböck’s dichotomy; late displacement of the distal radius; flexor slide for finger contracture; aesthetic syndactyly; flexor tendon repair; and fixation of trapeziometacarpal
The April 2014 Trauma Roundup360 looks at: is it safe to primarily close dog bite wounds?; conservative transfusion evidence based in hip fracture surgery; tibial nonunion is devastating to quality of life; sexual dysfunction after traumatic pelvic fracture; hemiarthroplasty versus fixation in displaced femoral neck fractures; silver VAC dressings “Gold Standard” in massive wounds; dual plating for talar neck fracture; syndesmosis and fibular length easiest errors in ankle fracture surgery; and dual mobility: stable as a rock in fracture.
The use of robotics in arthroplasty surgery is expanding rapidly as improvements in the technology evolve. This article examines current evidence to justify the usage of robotics, as well as the future potential in this emerging field.
The February 2013 Hip &
Pelvis Roundup360 looks at: amazing alumina; dual mobility; white cells and periprosthetic infection; cartilage and impingement surgery; acetabulum in combination; cementless ceramic prosthesis; metal-on-metal hips; and whether size matters in failure.
The December 2014 Hip &
Pelvis Roundup360 looks at: Sports and total hips; topical tranexamic acid and blood conservation in hip replacement; blind spots and biases in hip research; no recurrence in cam lesions at two years; to drain or not to drain?; sonication and diagnosis of implant associated infection; and biomarkers and periprosthetic infection
The April 2013 Hip &
Pelvis Roundup360 looks at: hip cartilage and magnets; labral repair or resection; who benefits from injection; rotational osteotomy for osteonecrosis; whether ceramic implants risk fracture; dual articulation; and hydroxyapatite.
This review examines the future of total hip arthroplasty, aiming to avoid past mistakes
