We aimed to examine the outcomes of arthritic congenital dislocation of hip in adults after subtrochanteric shortening derotation osteotomy (SSDO) with cementless hip arthroplasty at a minimum follow-up period of five years. Bibliographic databases were searched and isolated studies were divided into three groups (1, 2, and 3) based on the femoral stem type (modular, monoblock, or mixed). We pooled 931 hips/737 patients from 20 studies. The mean difference in the Harris hip score (HHS) before and after the operation was 47.55 (95% confidence interval [CI] 43.16, 51.94). On subgroup analysis the mean differences of 46.59 (95% CI 41.67, 51.51), 48.24 (95% CI 41.37, 55.11), and 47.30 (95% CI 43.85, 50.75), respectively in HHS were noted in groups 1, 2, and 3. The incidence of uncontrolled proximal femur fractures was comparable at 7.9% and 4.2% in groups 1 and 2; however, it was 0% and 16.6% for controlled fractures. The incidences of nonunion, dislocation, nerve paralysis, heterotopic ossification and revision due to any cause were 0.3%, 6.5%, 1.7%, 2.1%, and 7.9% for group 1 and 1.9%, 4.3%, 1.6%, 5.6%, and 7.4% for group 2. Similar improvements in functional outcome for both monoblock and modular stems can be expected. An increased incidence of controlled proximal femur fractures was observed with use of modular stems. The nonunion at the SSDO site was sporadic.

Pelvic ring injuries with rotational and translational instability are complex and often result from high-energy trauma, posing significant challenges in management. Internal fixation has emerged as the preferred approach, with traditional methods such as iliosacral screw fixation exhibiting drawbacks like implant-related morbidity and hardware complications. This paper presents a modified minimally invasive transiliac plating technique aimed at addressing these challenges. The surgical technique involves careful preoperative planning, precise patient positioning, and meticulous exposure of the posterior pelvic structures. Key steps include osteotomy of the posterior superior iliac spine (PSIS), formation of a subcutaneous tunnel, contouring and placement of the plate, and fixation with strategically positioned screws. Additionally, the modified technique incorporates the replacement of the osteotomized PSIS bony fragment, providing secondary stability and minimizing the risk of implant back out. This modification aims to enhance biomechanical stability, reduce implant-related morbidity, and ensure optimal functional outcomes. The technique’s efficacy is supported by biomechanical principles and clinical studies, indicating its potential as a promising alternative in the management of unstable pelvic ring injuries. Overall, this modified approach offers improved patient comfort, reduced surgical risks, and enhanced long-term outcomes, contributing to advancements in pelvic ring fracture management.

Background:
Anesthetic management in pregnant women with congenital heart disease is complex due to physiological changes during pregnancy and the specific hemodynamic challenges posed by different cardiac anomalies. A multidisciplinary approach is essential to optimize maternal and fetal outcomes. Pregnancy induces significant cardiovascular changes to meet the increased metabolic demands of the mother and growing fetus. Cardiovascular changes may aggravate the underlying pathology during pregnancy, leading to hemodynamic instability.Case: A 27-year-old pregnant woman presented with severe pulmonary stenosis after pulmonary valve balloon dilatation for an elective cesarean section using a combined spinal-epidural technique (CSE) and milrinone nebulization to avoid right ventricular dysfunction.
Conclusions
CSE reduces the stress response to surgery, minimizes myocardial depression associated with anesthetic drugs, and improves postoperative pain control. Techniques such as milrinone nebulization may help lessen the hemodynamic perturbations associated with auto-transfusion post-delivery.
