Revision of a failed total hip arthroplasty with massive acetabular bone loss and pelvic discontinuity is a reconstructive challenge. This report presents the mid-term to long-term results of revision total hip arthroplasty with a custom-made porous-coated triflange acetabular prosthesis in a consecutive series of patients with pelvic discontinuity. ⋯ Therapeutic Level IV. See Instructions to Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Early results of conversion of a failed femoral component in hip resurfacing arthroplasty.
A theoretical advantage of resurfacing arthroplasty of the hip is that a failed femoral component can be safely and successfully revised to a total hip arthroplasty. To our knowledge, this advantage has not been demonstrated to date. ⋯ Therapeutic Level III. See Instructions to Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Loss of pin fixation in displaced supracondylar humeral fractures in children: causes and prevention.
Although the results are generally good following pin fixation of supracondylar humeral fractures in children, occasionally there is postoperative displacement. The purposes of the present study were to identify the causes leading to loss of fixation after pin fixation and to present methods for prevention. ⋯ Therapeutic Level III.

ReviewTiming of tourniquet release in knee arthroplasty. Meta-analysis of randomized, controlled trials.
Some surgeons release the tourniquet before closing the wound to secure hemostasis during knee arthroplasty. We examined whether early tourniquet release could reduce the perioperative blood loss and whether not releasing the tourniquet until after wound closure would increase the risk of early postoperative complications. ⋯ Therapeutic Level II.
