As If

Lateral unicompartmental OA is a relatively rare disease said to account for about one eighth of all unicompartmental arthritis 1 . However, the incidence may be higher because it is a disease of flexion and is commonly missed on standing AP radiographs. To identify lateral OA reliably, either a valgus stress radiograph in 45° flexion or a Rosenberg view is necessary. The clinical results of UKA in the lateral compartment have sometimes been worse than in the medial compartment 2 and sometimes better 3 . Some early papers reported results of series containing both medial and lateral operations as if they were essentially the same, but the normal anatomy and the pathological lesions of the two compartments are very different so the surgical techniques are different.

Significant Difference

Introduction: Proficiency in the direct anterior approach (DAA) as with many surgical techniques is considered to be challenging. Added to this is the controversy of the benefits of DAA compared to other total hip arthroplasty (THA) approaches. Our study aims to assess the influence of experience on learning curve and clinical results when transitioning from THA via posterior approach in a lateral position to DAA in a supine position. Methods: A consecutive retrospective series of 525 total hip arthroplasty of one senior and six junior surgeons was retrospectively analysed from May 2013 to December 2017. Clinical results were analysed and compared between the two groups and represented as a learning curve. Mean follow up was 36.2 months ± 11.8. Results: This study found a significant difference in complications between the senior and junior surgeons for operating time, infection rate, and lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) neuropraxia. A trainee’s learning curve was an average of 10 DAA procedures before matching the senior surgeon. Of note, the early complications correlated with intraoperative fractures increased with experience in both groups. Operating time for the senior equalised after 70 cases. Dislocation rate and limb length discrepancy were excellent and did not show a learning curve between the two groups. Conclusion: DAA is a safe approach to implant a THA. There is a learning curve and initial supervision is recommended for both seniors and trainees. Level of evidence: Retrospective, consecutive case series; level IV.

Background: The treatment of rhizarthritis involves several surgical techniques; among them, bioabsorbable scaffolds have begun to be proposed to avoid the use of other biological tissues or artificial permanent devices. Methods: In this study, we evaluated the long-term outcomes of poly-ld-lactic acid scaffold in interposition arthroplasty in a series of patients treated in our department. Results: Strength, range of motion, and pain improved after the intervention and lasted over the years; nonetheless, most of the radiographs showed a progressive collapse of the first metacarpal. Conclusions: Despite radiological findings, we believe that poly-ld-lactic acid scaffold can be considered a good alternative to traditional trapeziectomy with tendon interposition and suspensionplasty, with long-lasting satisfactory clinical results.

Good clinical results may be achieved with electrical stimulation in many fields of medicine. After a long period of experimental research, electrical stimulation has gained an important role in Urology too. Surgically implanted devices have been utilized only in recent years to cure neurogenic bladder, while external electrical stimulation with portable devices for female incontinence is well-defined in literature. Direct stimulation of detrusor muscle and sphincter was abandoned but, nowadays, selective neurostimulation seems to be very effective. In this paper, the most important surgical techniques are reviewed. Even if some of them are no longer used, knowledge of them is probably important to a better understanding of present results and future possibilities.
