Total hip arthroplasty dislocation rate following isolated cup revision using Hueter's direct anterior approach on a fracture table.
Instability is a major complication after revision total hip arthroplasty. Studies in the literature have shown that the dislocation rate after primary arthroplasties by anterior approach on a fracture table is satisfactory, but the rate of instability following revision surgery is not known. ⋯ Level IV; retrospective study.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyDorsally displaced extra-articular distal radius fractures fixation: Dorsal IM nailing versus volar plating. A randomized controlled trial.
Fractures of the distal radius are very common and mainly occur in the elderly. There has been an increasing use of locked volar plate fixations which report satisfactory results. However, some authors advocate the use of nail fixation. ⋯ Level II, prospective, randomized of low-level.

De Quervain's disease treatment using partial resection of the extensor retinaculum: A short-term results survey.
Several operative methods have been described for de Quervain's disease, but no definite consensus has emerged in the literature. Sometimes simple release of the extensor retinaculum can cause incomplete relief, whereas re-adhesion and excessive excision of the extensor retinaculum can cause volar subluxation of the abductor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis brevis tendons. In this prospective study, we evaluated the early results of operative treatment with one-quarter partial resection of the extensor retinaculum when conservative methods have failed. ⋯ Level IV: low-power prospective study.
