It is characterized by the secretion of a triglyceride-rich fluid, which classically has a characteristic milky appearance in a percutaneous drain. In visceral surgery CLs mostly occur after pancreatic and esophageal surgery but rarely occur after colorectal, liver or gastric surgery. Treatment often consists of a diet rich in medium chain triglycerides (MCT) to reduce the lymphatic flow, while ensuring a sufficient nutrient supply. If the CL does not cease, total parenteral nutrition is usually carried out. A reoperation, lymphography sometimes with percutaneous intervention or short-term irradiation for CL are rarely necessary.

This article analyzes important orthopedic differential diagnoses, including hip dysplasia, acetabular version abnormalities, femoral torsion anomalies, femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), femoral head necrosis, and osteoarthritis. The pathophysiology of these conditions frequently lead to disrupted joint mechanics, leading to premature degeneration and arthritis. The diagnostics include patient history, clinical examination and imaging modalities such as X‑ray, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT). Treatment options include conservative measures (e.g., physiotherapy, pain management) or surgical interventions, e.g., arthroscopy for FAI, periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) for dysplasia and total hip arthroplasty (THA) for advanced osteoarthritis. The choice of treatment depends on factors, such as age, disease severity and lifestyle. Preventive measures, early detection of pre-arthritic deformities and regular monitoring of patients at-risk can slow degenerative progression; however, in cases of advanced osteoarthritis THA often remains the last option for preserving mobility and quality of life.</p>","PeriodicalId":72588,"journal":{"name":"Chirurgie (Heidelberg, Germany)","volume":" ","pages":"633-640"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144056712","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
