The EXT group consists of 20 patients with the radial head fracture treated by radial head resection. The END group includes 14 patients treated with the radial head replacement. In all patients, the radial head fracture was associated with elbow dislocation (type IV fracture according to the Mason-Johnston classification). The modified Kocher's surgical approach was used in all patients of both the groups. In the EXT group, resection of the fragmented radial head was performed. In the END group, the ExploR® Modular Radial Head System (Zimmer, Biomet, USA) was used, consisting of a CoCr (cobalt chromium) alloy head and a titanium stem. The pain and the range of motion of the elbow and forearm were evaluated after the completion of the outpatient rehabilitation (the mean follow-up period was 2.4 years). Simultaneously, the elbow joint stability was assessed. Radiographs were taken to detect heterotopic ossifications, proximalization of the radius, and any signs of prosthesis loosening.

It is a complex, degenerative disease affecting all components of the joint. Surgical treatment is indicated when conservative therapy fails. The ultimate solution is arthrodesis of the distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint. Various methods of arthrodesis have been described, ranging from the use of K-wires or compression screw to different types of intra-articular (intramedullary) implants. The aim of this study is to evaluate the surgical outcomes of arthrodesis of the distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint of the fingers using intramedullary implants.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Material and methods: &lt;/strong&gt;Since 2011, arthrodesis of the distal interphalangeal joint using an intramedullary implant has been performed at our department 97 times in total, in 59 patients. 9 patients (15 cases of arthrodesis) were excluded from the study group due to their failure to complete the questionnaire, 1 female patient died. In the final group, 82 cases of arthrodesis in 49 patients (47 women, 2 men) were evaluated. In 72% of cases, the surgery was performed on the dominant hand. The mean age at the time of surgery was 58 years (median 59 years). The patients were indicated for surgery after the failure of all conservative treatment options. In addition to radiographs, also the hand function and pain were assessed based on the preand postoperative DASH score questionnaires.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The surgical outcomes for all implants are satisfactory. In all 82 patients, the surgical wounds healed per primam. In one case, implant extraction was performed due to infection. Another complication was an unhealed fusion and formation of a non-union with minimum pathological mobility (the patient is satisfied with the outcome). In three patients, a fracture at the base of the distal phalanx was observed on postoperative radiographs, which fully healed within 3 months after surgery. The mean DASH score decreased from 41.95 preoperatively to 14.93 postoperatively. The mean time to healing of the arthrodesis observed on radiographs was 9.1 weeks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Discussion: &lt;/strong&gt;Currently, there are many different types of arthrodesis of the distal interphalangeal joint of the hand.

The indication for arthrodesis was subtalar arthritis causing pain and gait disorders, or hindfoot deformities (most commonly after a calcaneus bone fracture). The arthroscopic assisted subtalar arthrodesis was performed with autologous tricortical bone block graft harvesting from the pelvis, supplemented by autologous cancellous bone graft. Stabilization was achieved by cannulated screws inserted in neutral ankle position. Patients in our retrospective study were followed up for a mean of 48 months (range, 24-130 months). The patients were evaluated preoperatively and at 2 years after surgery. The hindfoot angles and height (TCA - talocalcaneal angle, CIA - calcaneal inclination angle, TCH - talocalcaneal height) were evaluated on radiographs, bone union was assessed on radiographs and CT scans. The clinical assessment was performed using the ankle-hindfoot scale (AHS) of AOFAS (AOFAS score).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The preoperative AOFAS score was 35-68 points (mean 52, median 54), the postoperative AOFAS score at 2 years after arthrodesis was 58-94 points (mean 82, median 82). Both the mean and median values of AOFAS score showed a signifi - cant progress from the poor result to the good and excellent result. After 2 years the TCA value decreased in 18 patients (56%) by no more than 3°. The CIA decrease observed in 21 patients (64%) was by 1° on average. The TCH decrease of 1-5 mm after 2 years since the surgery was seen in 16 patients. In 2 patients incomplete healing of arthrodesis was observed, manifested as a clinically asymptomatic non-union. No deep infection was reported.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Discussion: &lt;/strong&gt;In agreement with the current literature, the arthroscopic subtalar arthrodesis has been confi rmed to be a safe method for the management of consequences of hindfoot fractures, with minimum complications and leading to accelerated bone fusion. Differences can be found in the approach, position, use of cancellous bone graft and surgical techniques. In recent years, prone position, posterior approaches, use of cancellous bone graft, distraction and fi xation with 2-3 screws divergently inserted into the bone prevail. The degree of healing of the bone fusion is generally an important factor. In our study population, non-healing was recorded in 2 patients, namely in the form of a clinically silent non-union.

The AMIS technique is discussed in more detail in patients with Class II and Class III obesity. We seek to prove the premise claiming that the anteversion and inclination values observed in this group of patients do not differ signifi cantly from those observed in patients with the recommended BMI index. We will also compare the risk of neurovascular bundle injury and postoperative complication rate regarding the surgical wound.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Material and methods: &lt;/strong&gt;Patients who underwent surgery using the AMIS method in the period between 1/2020 and 4/2023 were assessed retrospectively. The study included 1150 implantations. The entire study population was assessed for neurovascular bundle injury and surgical wound healing complications. For this purpose, the patients were divided into two groups based on the BMI, namely BMI &lt; 35 kg/m2 (n=1042) and BMI &gt; 35 kg/m2 (n=108). In patients with the BMI ≤ 25 kg/m2 (n=280) and BMI ≥ 35 kg/m2 (n=108), the inclination and anteversion values were compared. Standard centered AP view X-rays of their operated joints were assessed. The Liaw's method was used to calculate the anteversion and inclination.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;In group one of patients with BMI ≤ 25 kg/m2 (208 women and 72 men), the arithmetic mean of acetabular anteversion was 25.4° (median 25°) and inclination was 38.3° (median 38°). In group two, which consisted of patients with BMI ≥ 35 kg/m2 (59 women and 49 men), the total arithmetic mean of acetabular anteversion was 25.1° (median 25) and inclination was 37.6° (median 37.5°). The anteversion and inclination were assessed using the Mann-Whitney test for equality of medians. The value of 0.05 was chosen as the level of signifi cance. The resulting p-value was 0.5359 in anteversion and 0.3763 in inclination. Since the p-value of both anteversion and inclination was greater than the chosen level of signifi cance, their medians have not been confi rmed to differ signifi cantly. A total of 6 cases of femoral nerve injury was reported, i.e. 0.5% out of 1150. Therefore, the risk of injury was 0.4% in the group with BMI &lt; 35 kg/m2 (n=1042). On the contrary, in the group of patients with BMI &gt; 35 kg/m2 (n=108), the risk was 2%. No injury to femoral artery was reported. The surgical wound healing complications were seen in a total of 87 cases (7.6%). In the group with BMI &lt; 35 kg/m2 , healing complications of the surgical wound were observed in 7.4% of cases, with the need for revision surgery in 7 patients.
