Rates of prosthetic joint infection in megaprostheses are high. The application of silver ion coating to implants serves as a deterrent to infection and biofilm formation. A retrospective review was performed of all silver-coated MUTARS endoprosthetic reconstructions (SC-EPR) by a single Orthopaedic Oncology Surgeon. We examined the rate of component revision due to infection and the rate of infection successfully treated with antibiotic therapy. We reviewed overall revision rates, sub-categorised into the Henderson groupings for endoprosthesis modes of failure (Type 1 soft tissue failure, Type 2 aseptic loosening, Type 3 Structural failure, Type 4 Infection, Type 5 tumour progression). 283 silver-coated MUTARS endoprosthetic reconstructions were performed for 229 patients from October 2012 to July 2022. The average age at time of surgery was 58.9 years and 53% of our cohort were males. 154 (71.3%) patients underwent SC-EPR for oncological reconstruction and 32 (14.8%) for reconstruction for
In the setting of traumatic elbow injuries involving coronoid fractures, the relative size of the coronoid fragment has been shown to relate to the stability of the joint. Currently, the challenge lies in accurately classifying the amount of

The inflammatory cascade associated with prosthetic implant wear debris, in addition to diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and periodontitis, it is shown to drastically influence bone turnover in the local environment. Ultimately, this leads to enhanced osteoclastic resorption and the suppression of bone formation by osteoblasts causing implant failure, joint failure, and tooth loosening in the respective conditions if untreated. Regulation of this pathogenic bone metabolism can enhance bone integrity and the treatment

The primary objective of this study was to establish a safety profile for an all-arthroscopic anatomic glenoid reconstruction via iliac crest autograft augmentation for the treatment of shoulder instability with glenoid bone loss. Short-term clinical and radiological outcomes were also evaluated. This study involved a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data for 14 patients (male 8, female 6) who were treated for shoulder instability with
Open femoral fractures are uncommon, and there are very few reports in the literature which refer specifically to their management. The results of the treatment of 31 open femoral fractures with significant
INTRODUCTION:. Recent trends in total hip arthroplasty (THA) have resulted in the use of larger acetabular components to achieve larger femoral head sizes to reduce dislocation, and improve range of motion and stability. Such practices can result in significant acetabular
