Long-term results of cementless femoral reconstruction following intertrochanteric osteotomyChristian Merle
Department of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery, University Hospital Heidelberg, Schlierbacher Landstrasse 200a, Heidelberg, 69118, Germany
Int Orthop 36:1123-8. 2012..The objective of this retrospective cohort study was to assess the long-term outcome of cementless femoral reconstruction in patients with previous intertrochanteric osteotomy (ITO)...
Femoral offset is underestimated on anteroposterior radiographs of the pelvis but accurately assessed on anteroposterior radiographs of the hipC Merle

J Bone Joint Surg Br 93:178-83. 2011..Further research is required to investigate the risk factors involved in the occurrence of late peri-prosthetic femoral fracture after the implantation of any uncemented stem, and to assess possible methods of prevention...
In vivo serum titanium ion levels following modular neck total hip arthroplasty--10 year results in 67 patientsG W Omlor
Department of Orthopaedics and Trauma Surgery, University Hospital Heidelberg, Heidelberg, Germany
Acta Biomater 9:6278-82. 2013..Further longitudinal studies are needed to evaluate the use of systemic titanium ion levels as an objective diagnostic tool to identify THA failure and to monitor patients following revision surgery...
