The effect of degenerative scoliosis and spinopelvic parameters on dislocation of hip hemiarthroplasty.
Degeneration of the spine may affect pelvic parameters and hip mobility. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of degenerative scoliosis and spinopelvic parameters on hip hemiarthroplasty dislocations. ⋯ The presence of degenerative scoliosis and low pelvic incidence, sacral slope, pelvic tilt, thoracic kyphosis, and lumbar lordosis angles may increase the frequency of hemiarthroplasty dislocations. The posterior approach and small femoral head size may also elevate the risk of posterior dislocation.

Case ReportsCompression-induced reversible brachial plexopathy: Urgent neurological approach.
Brachial plexus injuries are the second most common perioperative peripheral nerve injuries. Malposition is a significant predisposing factor to these injuries. ⋯ Herein, we present the electroneuromyography (EMG) findings within the first 48 hours for a patient who has been under tacrolimus treatment for five years due to liver transplantation and developed compression-induced reversible brachial plexopathy. Through this case, we highlighted that brachial plexus injury may not always result in axonal involvement and discussed the findings that may be encountered in early neurophysiological examinations.
