Accelerated patellofemoral joint erosion: A complication of isolated resurfacing of an arthritic patella with a polyethylene component
We report a case of a complication that arose after isolated resurfacing of an arthritic patella with a polyethylene component. Serious femoral cartilage wear with severe synovitis was noted in the early postoperative period. Clinicians are therefore cautioned to avoid isolated patellar resurfacing for treating patellofemoral arthritis. (Source: Formosan Journal of Musculoskeletal Disorders)

Pseudotumor formation following large-diameter metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasty—Report of two cases and literature review
We report two cases of this complication. Case 1 exhibited cystic change with fluid accumulation, and in Case 2 a semisolid mass was found. In Case 1, a high inclination angle of the cup (at 65°) was noted. In Case 2, the cup was placed at a normal inclination angle, but it was too anteverted (31°). The histopathological studies revealed that the cystic pseudotumor had more diffuse lymphocyte infiltration and perivascular lymphocyte cuffing with eosinophil and plasma cells. The semisolid mass of Case 2 had less lymphocyte infiltration. Both cases had metal debris with foreign body granuloma. In patients with residual gro...

Symptomatic ganglion cysts of cruciate ligaments of the knee: A series of nine cases
Conclusion We suggest that depending on cyst location, a more applicable hypothesis for knee joint pain during motion is cyst impingement on the other cruciate ligament or the intercondylar notch. (Source: Formosan Journal of Musculoskeletal Disorders)

Posterior instrumentation improves the stabilities of Brantigan and Bagby and Kuslich (BAK) methods of posterior lumbar interbody fusion across the L4–L5 segments in a cadaveric model
Conclusion Although the results indicate that the Brantigan cage did not provide satisfactory improvement in the stabilities as the BAK cage in the one-motion segment model, implantation with additional posterior instrumentation may significantly improve the stabilities and reduce the differences between the two cage designs.

Computer-assisted navigation for cruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty in patients with advanced valgus arthritic knees
Conclusion Computer-assisted navigation for TKA is a useful alternative technique for advanced valgus knee arthritis where accurate restoration of the joint line, proper alignment of the limb and prosthetic components, and meticulous soft tissue balancing may be challenging because of bony deformities and soft tissue contractures.
