Distal femoral osteotomy for multidirectional malunion using 3D printing technology: a case-report
Acta Orthop Belg. 2023 Dec;89(4):609-612. doi: 10.52628/89.4.11912.ABSTRACTMultidirectional distal femoral malunion and limb shortening lead to functional deficit and decreased quality of life. A corrective osteotomy might be necessary to cope with these issues. The inception of computer-assisted planification and the introduction of patient-specific instrumentation based on 3D printing technology with personalized osteotomy guides provide high correction accuracy, effectiveness, time-saving, and reduce potential complications. The present study describes a case of correction osteotomy using this procedure in a young patie...

Preoperative infection risk assessment in hip arthroplasty a matched-pair study of the reliability of 3 validated risk scales
This study included 37 patients with PJI following THA performed between 2012 and 2020 (Group A). Each patient in this group was matched, based on sex, age, and follow-up duration, with a control patient who underwent the same surgical procedure without any septic complications (Group B) during the same period. Each patient's assessment included the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score and a retrospective evaluation using three different preoperative, specific PJI risk assessment scales: the International Consensus Meeting (ICM) Preoperative Risk Calculator for PJI, the Mayo PJI Risk Score, and the KLIC-score....

Resection of the femoral neck: a new technique for the treatment of mallory type I intraoperative femoral fracture during total hip arthroplasty
We report the results of this new technique at postoperative 2 to 5 years (mean, 3.4 years). All stems were placed in the neutral position. There was no revision and no stem showed any evidence of subsidence or loosening during the follow-up. The mean Harris hip score was 85.9 points at the latest follow-up. We recommend to use the femoral neck excision technique for the treatment of Mallory type 1 intraoperative femoral fractures.PMID:38205751 | DOI:10.52628/89.4.10516 (Source: Acta Orthopaedica Belgica)

Clinical outcomes of modified direct lateral approach of Hardinge for total hip arthroplasty
Acta Orthop Belg. 2023 Dec;89(4):625-633. doi: 10.52628/89.4.10942.ABSTRACTThe aim of the study was to evaluate a modified direct lateral approach for total hip arthroplasty in terms of clinical and functional outcomes, rate of complications and hospitalization. We retrospectively reviewed the data of 526 patients with THA operated in our department between January 2017 and December 2021. Clinical examination, functional outcome and radiographic evaluation were performed during follow-up. Patients were evaluated at the following time points: preoperatively and postoperatively at 3 days, 6 weeks, 12 weeks and 1 year and we ...
