Total joint replacement of the hip and knee in patients with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita: a report of six joints.
Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC) is a rare congenital condition that leads to severe joint contractures and deformities. As painful joint dysplasia and degeneration might develop over time, total joint replacement (TJR) can be a potential treatment option for these patients. The aim of this study is to investigate functional results, implant survivorship and potential complications in patients with AMC who undergo hip or knee arthroplasty. ⋯ TJR is a safe procedure in patients with AMC that effectively improves function and reduces pain irrespective of preoperative ambulatory status.

In our previous studies, we were able to identify anatomical differences as a predictor for aseptic loosening following primary and revision surgery with the use of rotating hinge prosthesis. This study was performed to answer following question: can a novel radiological classification system of the distal femur be identified? ⋯ The novel classification presents three different types of the knee joint for male and female patients. Type C has a wider inner diaphyseal diameter compared to Type A with a narrow inner diaphyseal diameter.

Epidemiological analysis of injury occurrence and current prevention strategies on international amateur football level during the UEFA Regions Cup 2019.
Football is the most popular sport worldwide and results in a high frequency of injuries. So far, mainly injuries in professional football have been investigated, and the literature lacks data regarding detailed injury epidemiology and current prevention data in amateur football tournaments. ⋯ This study presents for the first time epidemiological injury and prevention data of the UEFA Regions Cup. Injury incidence was higher compared to injury reports of regular seasons, but lower compared to other amateur football tournaments. Currently used prevention programs revealed trunk muscle exercises as often neglected.
