Traction radiography is superior to supine bending radiography in assessing curve mobility before surgery. This method benefits patients by allowing them to avoid anterior release surgery and helps predict postoperative correction.
In a patient with a previously well-functioning hip resurfacing prosthesis, internal fixation rather than revision hip arthroplasty can offer good clinical and radiographic outcomes. The use of a reconstruction intramedullary nail may be a good option for fixing a periprosthetic trochanteric fracture around a Birmingham Hip Resurfacing implant.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
