Case ReportsEfficiency and Accuracy of Bernese Periacetabular Osteotomy for Adult Hip Dysplasia.
Bernese periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) has several advantages dealing with adolescents and adults acetabular dysplasia. The authors introduced the details and steps performing PAO, with attached video and schematic diagram which demonstrates a perfect PAO in efficiency and accuracy. The patient is an 18-year-old girl, complaining hip pain on the left side for 6 months. ⋯ The patient is very happy to the surgery with no hip pain, with normal gait, ROM, and Harris hip scores (HHS). In summary, PAO is a relative new and efficient procedure for adult hip dysplasia, requiring accurate techniques. Cadaveric practice and familiar with the local anatomy can help the surgeon overcome the learning curve quickly.

ReviewPeriprosthetic Distal Femur Fracture after Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Systematic Review.
This study was designed to itemize and analyze the classification of fracture types and their corresponding outcomes in an attempt to provide a better understanding of the current treatment methods. Two PubMed searches were performed using the words "periprosthetic distal femur fracture" and "periprosthetic supracondylar femur fracture" in studies that were published in the previous 10 years (2004-2014). Data from 41 articlesthat met the general inclusion criteria, were collected and categorized into fracture type and treatment method groupings. ⋯ In conclusion, the most frequent type of periprosthetic distal femur fracture after total knee arthroplasty was Rorabeck type II. The most common treatments for these types of fractures are locked plating and intramedullary nailing, with similar healing rates of 87% and 84%, respectively. However, the complication rate for locked plating was lower than for intramedullary nailing.
