STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. OBJECTIVE To review the clinical outcome, implant survivorship and reasons for failure after X-Stop implantation. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Conflicting data exist concerning clinical outcome of the X-Stop interspinous spacer and little information is being published about implant survivorship and the need for revision surgery. METHODS This retrosp...

PURPOSE This study was performed to determine the usefulness of three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) in measuring periacetabular osteolysis by comparing the real volume of osteolysis in revision surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twnety-three patients who had undergone revision surgery due to periacetabular osteolysis but not included septic osteolysis and implant loosening. The mean age...

STUDY DESIGN Multicenter, retrospective, consecutive case series. OBJECTIVE This study aims to identify demographic and radiographical characteristics that influence the decision to perform revision surgery among patients with proximal junctional failure (PJF). SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Revision rates after PJF remain relatively high, yet the decision criteria for performing revision surgi...

Background and purpose - Porous tantalum cups have been introduced as an alternative to various reinforcement rings in revision hip surgery. We hypothesized that porous tantalum cups would be superior to Müller acetabular roof reinforcement rings (MARRs) in revision hip surgery with re-revision for aseptic loosening as the primary outcome measure. Patients and methods - 207 hips operated with e...

IMPORTANCE Estimates of the rate of revision septorhinoplasty and the risk factors associated with revision are unknown because the current published literature is limited to small, retrospective, single-surgeon studies with limited follow-up time. OBJECTIVES To determine the rate of revision for septorhinoplasty surgery and to determine the risk factors associated with revision. DESIGN, SE...

Although various techniques have been described for treatment of severe nose deformities, these problems have high revision rates.  Conventional nasal septal surgery may not be adequate for all cases. A 21-year-old male patient with nose deformity underwent a nasal surgery. Patient had both functional and aesthetic nasal problems. Rigid fibular bone graft was used for corrective nasal ...

BACKGROUND Reported complications of pediatric septic arthritis range from minor growth abnormalities to potentially life-threatening conditions and death; some children require multiple surgeries for eradication of infection. The purpose of this study is: (1) to determine the failure rate of a single surgical incision and drainage (I&D) in pediatric septic arthritis, (2) to identify risk facto...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS 1) Study outcomes of revision septoplasty using a validated disease-specific questionnaire and a patient satisfaction survey; 2) assess the effect of surgery on the use of medication to treat nasal congestion; and 3) report on sites of persistent septal deviation identified at revision septoplasty. STUDY DESIGN Prospective, single-center outcome study of patients with sy...

UNLABELLED The popularity of total knee arthroplasty combined with the aging US population indicates a dramatic increase in revision TKA procedures. Our objective was to project revision surgery costs in the United States, and to estimate the financial burden for hospitals historically under-reimbursed for these complex surgical procedures. Inflation adjusted charge data derived from a series o...
