PERIPROSTHETIC FEMORAL FRACTURES IN MINIMALLY-INVASIVE ANTEROLATERAL SHORT STEM VERSUS TRANSGLUTEAL STRAIGHT STEM CEMENTLESS TOTAL HIP ARTHROPLASTY: WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES IN THE FEMORAL AND PELVIC MORPHOLOGY?

Periprosthetic femoral fractures in minimally-invasive anterolateral short stem versus transgluteal straight stem cementless total hip arthroplasty: What are the differences in the femoral and pelvic morphology?

Abstract Background The occurrence of periprosthetic femoral fractures (PFFs) in cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA) might be associated with the proximal femoral morphology and the pelvis.PFFs in short stem THA are associated with an increased Canal Flare Index.PFFs in straight stem THA show a decreased Canal Flare Index.Therefore, this study

Two-Step Activation Mechanism of the ClpB Disaggregase for Sequential Substrate Threading by the Main ATPase Motor

Summary: AAA+ proteins form asymmetric hexameric rings that hydrolyze ATP and thread substrate proteins through a central channel via mobile substrate-binding pore loops.Understanding how ATPase and threading activities are regulated and intertwined is key to understanding the AAA+ protein mechanism.We studied the disaggregase ClpB, which contains
