HIP

Sutlive TG, Lopez HP, Schnitker DE et al.
J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2008;38:542–50.

The authors of this study developed a system for diagnosing hip osteoarthritis in patients with unilateral hip pain based on clinical variables. The wide confidence intervals of the data and the fact that diagnosis is not made in the absence of radiographic evidence mean that their findings are of limited interest.

- Intramedullary Nailing of Pediatric Long-Bone Fractures

  Elastic stable intramedullary nailing (ESIN) has become a standard method of stabilizing pediatric long-bone fractures. Fracture stability is provided by a three-point buttress of two pre-bent, elastic, titanium nails that span the medullary canal, thus exerting opposing elastic forces. Small movements remain possible at the fracture site, supporting callus formation and bone union.

  In medicine, the “available evidence” is the sum of the relevant knowledge that can be used to reach valid conclusions and produce the most reliable recommendations possible at a given point in time. Therefore, it is important to remember that scientific evidence cannot provide absolute truth; it can change with time as new findings and, thus, new evidence arises.
- Computer-Assisted Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Systematic and Critical Review of the Current Literature
  
  Christian Lüring, MD, PhD
  
  University of Regensburg, Regensburg, Germany 
  
  The past 10 years have seen the rapid development of computer-assisted surgery (CAS) for total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Many surgeons now perform TKA using navigation systems because they are user-friendly and generate reproducible results. To date, there are several level 1 studies and meta-analyses demonstrating that navigation in TKA allows more precise implantation of the prosthesis, which aids both postoperative leg alignment and component orientation. However, CAS is time consuming and still requires an experienced surgeon.
Case Study
- Bilateral Os Trigonum in a Professional Ballet Dancer Treated Arthroscopically
  
  Duncan E Meuffels
  
  A case report is presented concerning a professional classical ballet dancer with bilateral os trigonum with posterior ankle impingement. Arthroscopic excision of the os trigonum for treatment of the posterior ankle impingement resulted in a successful clinical outcome, and the dancer was able to resume her professional dance career.
