Prevalence of the different lumbar back pain etiologies in Spain: results from a large observational study in 306 centers (the SMILE study)
Conclusions Despite of specialist, the study indicate a low rate of characterization system utilization and an overuse of complementary imaging in common practice but improvement in pain, patients’ functionality, and HQoL. (Source: European Orthopaedics and Traumatology)

New technique in reconstructing humeral head defect in locked posterior dislocation of the shoulder: a case series of nine patients
Abstract Locked posterior dislocation of the shoulder is uncommon and frequently missed injury. It accounts for 2–4 % of all shoulder dislocations. It is commonly associated with osseous defects in humeral head articular surface known as reverse Hill-Sachs lesion. Numerous surgical procedures are invented to repair this defect with variable outcomes, but evidence-based management strategies are lacking. Among these procedures are as follows: transfer of lesser tuberosity or subscapularis tendon, rotational osteotomy of humerus, osteochondral grafts. Salvage procedure as hemiarthroplasty or total should...

Failure of a properly positioned tantalum rod for treatment of early femoral head necrosis and conversion to total hip arthroplasty
Conclusion Implantation of a porous tantalum metal rod for early-stage osteonecrosis of the femoral head did not add a significant advantage to core decompression alone even with the proper position in relation to the necrotic area. We had to convert to total hip arthroplasty in 60 % of the cases. (Source: European Orthopaedics and Traumatology)

Recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation with engaging Hill–Sachs defect: remplissage or Latarjet?
Conclusion Open modified Latarjet and arthroscopic remplissage procedure with Bankart repair are equally effective in prevention of dislocation in patients with recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation and engaging Hill–Sachs lesion. (Source: European Orthopaedics and Traumatology)

Experience using denosumab for lung metastases of giant cell tumor of bone
Abstract The treatment of unresectable multiple lung metastasis of giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) is challenging. In the current manuscript, we present a case who presented with multiple lung metastases of GCTB and was successfully managed with the use of denosumab allowing for surgical resection of the metastatic lesions that was previously deemed unresectable. Pathologic examination also clearly demonstrated the histological effects of denosumab. We emphasize on effective response to denosumab even in metastatic GCTB.

Late rupture of extensor pollicis longus as a complication of treatment of forearm both bone fracture with the new intramedullary nail
Abstract Late tendon rupture of extensor pollicis longus as a complication of treatment of adult forearm both bone fracture with the intramedullary nail is a rare complication. Intramedullary fixation of forearm fractures is an accepted and reliable minimally invasive technique possessing a risk of late extensor pollicis tendon rupture due to wearing caused by the distal end of the nail. We are presenting this case in order to make the orthopedic surgeons keep in mind this rare complication and determine possible pitfalls in intramedullary nailing.

Reduction and stabilization of acute, displaced supracondylar fractures of distal humerus in children using the Sauvé-Kapandji technique
Conclusion The management of acute, displaced supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children using the Sauvé-Kapandji technique has shown excellent results in terms of healing of the fracture and functional outcome. We recommend this technique as an alternative in cases of encountering difficulties in fracture reduction prior to proceed with open reduction. (Source: European Orthopaedics and Traumatology)
