Aims. The localization of necrotic areas has been reported to impact the prognosis and treatment strategy for osteonecrosis of the
Aims. Surgical treatment of young femoral neck fractures often requires an open approach to achieve an anatomical reduction. The application of a calcar plate has recently been described to aid in femoral neck fracture reduction and to augment fixation. However, application of a plate may potentially compromise the regional vascularity of the

Aims. This study aimed to evaluate sagittal spinopelvic alignment (SSPA) in the early stage of rapidly destructive coxopathy (RDC) compared with hip osteoarthritis (HOA), and to identify risk factors of SSPA for destruction of the
Aims. Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells obtained from bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) with platelet-rich plasma (PRP), has been used as an adjuvant to hip decompression. Early results have shown promise for hip preservation in patients with osteonecrosis (ON) of the

Aims. Though the pathogenesis of Legg-Calve-Perthes disease (LCPD) is unknown, repetitive microtrauma resulting in deformity has been postulated. The purpose of this study is to trial a novel upright MRI scanner, to determine whether any deformation occurs in
Articular cartilage has poor repair potential and the tissue formed is mechanically incompetent. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) show chondrogenic properties and the ability to re-grow cartilage, however a viable human model for testing cartilage regeneration and repair is lacking. Here, we describe an ex vivo pre-clinical
Highly cross-linked polyethylene (HXLPE) has decreased wear and revision rates in total hip replacement (THR) at a long-term. However, the effect of HXLPE manufacturing characteristics on
