Comparative StudyNormative spino-pelvic sagittal alignment of Lebanese asymptomatic adults: Comparisons with different ethnicities.
Normative values of sagittal alignment are used as references for the diagnosis and treatment of spinal pathologies. There are currently no reference values for the normative sagittal alignment of Lebanese subjects. The objective is to describe normative values of full body sagittal alignment parameters in asymptomatic Lebanese adults and to compare the sagittal alignment of this population to that of populations of various origins. ⋯ Level IV - cross sectional study.

Multicenter StudyThe influence of bone cement and American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) class on cardiovascular status during bipolar hemiarthroplasty for displaced femoral-neck fracture: A multicenter, prospective, case-control study.
Little is known about how bone cement and American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification influence the cardiovascular system in elderly patients with femoral-neck fractures treated with cemented hemiarthroplasty. Therefore, we performed a case-control study to investigate these questions and compared the following:≥ASA III with≤ASA II patients who underwent cemented hemiarthroplasty; and cemented with cementless hemiarthroplasty in≥ASA III patients. ⋯ III, multicenter case-control cohort study.

Multicenter StudySurgeon's and patient's radiation exposure during percutaneous thoraco-lumbar pedicle screw fixation: A prospective multicenter study of 100 cases.
Percutaneous pedicle screw fixations (PPSF) are increasingly used in spine surgery, minimizing morbidity through less muscle breakdown but at the cost of intraoperative fluoroscopic guidance that generates high radiation exposure. Few studies have been conducted to measure them accurately. ⋯ IV, case series.

Functional outcomes and return to sports after surgical treatment of insertional Achilles tendinopathy: Surgical approach tailored to the degree of tendon involvement.
Insertional Achilles tendinopathy is a generic term that encompasses several types of ailments. While conservative treatment is less effective than for conditions isolated to the tendon body, there is no consensus as to the best type of surgical care. ⋯ IV.

Total hip arthroplasty after failed fixation of a proximal femur fracture: Analysis of 59 cases of intra- and extra-capsular fractures.
The indications for total hip arthroplasty (THA) after failed internal fixation of a proximal femur fracture vary. Published studies on this topic are broad-ranging and do not distinguish between intracapsular and extracapsular fractures. This led us to conduct a retrospective analysis comparing the clinical outcomes, radiological outcomes, technical problems and complications between these two types of fractures. ⋯ IV - Retrospective study.
