Impaction bone grafting in uncemented acetabular revision leads to increased bone density over time, even when large graft volumes are used. Implant migration is consistent with the cemented impaction bone grafting technique. #Surgery #Hip #Bone #BJO ow.ly/NhTx50Yra19

The findings demonstrate the intense anxiety families experience during assessment of bone and joint infection, particularly when they are left to make sense of uncertainties by themselves, or when communication is unclear. #BJO #Pediatrics #Healthcare ow.ly/81kC50Yr9Ro

As knee osteoarthritis worsens, the angle of the tibial joint line relative to the floor changes. The pattern of change depends on whether the arthritis mainly affects the medial or the lateral compartment. #Osteoarthritis #Surgery #BJO @samuelmacdessi ow.ly/WzIq50Yr9Ls
