Background: Increases in the numbers of surgical procedures for primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) inevitably lead to increases in the requirements for revision THA. The achievement of long-term stability is difficult or impossible by conventional implants in patients with severe destruction of the acetabulum.

Objective: This case report presents a successful treatment using a specific three-dimensional (3D)-printed porous titanium acetabular composite component without a flange in the management of Paprosky type IIIB acetabular defects. Read More

Background: Knowledge regarding adherence is necessary to improve the specificity of exercise interventions during cancer treatment. We aimed to determine adherence to resistance and endurance training interventions in parallel; identify subgroups with similar adherence characteristics; and examine determinants of these subgroups.

Methods: In the Phys-Can randomised controlled trial, participants (n = 577, 81% women, mean(SD) age 59(12) years, and 50% with BMI ≥ 25 kg/m) starting (neo-) adjuvant treatment for breast, colorectal or prostate cancer were randomized to 6-month of high (HI) or low-to-moderate intensity (LMI) supervised, group-based resistance training and individual home-based endurance training, with or without behavior change support.

Background: There is still much controversy about whether transforaminal or interlaminar fully endoscopic spine surgery can better treat lumbar 4/5 disc herniation. Therefore, this study intends to compare the clinical efficacy of fully endoscopic spine surgery through transforaminal and interlaminar approaches in the treatment of lumbar 4/5 disc herniation.

Methods: Seventy-six patients with lumbar 4/5 disc herniation admitted from March 2019 to June 2020 were divided into the transforaminal approach group (endoscopic transforaminal lumbar discectomy, ETLD; 54 cases) and the interlaminar approach group (endoscopic interlaminar lumbar discectomy, EILD; 22 cases) according to different surgical methods.

Background: The treatment of severe and rigid scoliosis is challenging. We developed a surgical strategy for severe and rigid scoliosis since 2014. This study aimed to retrospectively analyze the safety and efficacy of apical region correction and global balance with 3 rods as a surgical strategy for the treatment of severe and rigid scoliosis.
