https://www.selleckchem.com/products/AS703026.html Wandering spleen is defined as the spleen that is not in its normal anatomic position due to the absence or laxity of suspensory ligaments. Congenital and acquired factors play a role in its etiology. It is a rare condition and may cause life-threatening complications as torsion or infarction. Rarely, patients may present to the emergency department with an acute abdomen. They may also present with chronic abdominal pain or intraabdominal mass. Given that its clinical diagnosis is difficult to make, radiological studies have an important role for an accurate diagnosis. In this paper, we presented a 24-year-old patient with torsion of a wandering spleen who presented with an acute abdomen and underwent laparoscopic splenectomy under urgent conditions. Various surgical techniques have been defined for hip hemiarthroplasty (HA), including metaphyseal vs. diaphyseal and short stem vs. long stem. The present study aims to compare outcomes of metaphyseal fixed short-stem vs. diaphyseal fixed long-stem HA in treating unstable intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients. This study was conducted retrospectively and included 129 patients ≥65 years of age, having unstable intertrochanteric fractures and undergoing HA. Outcome measures were the 2-year Harris hip score and the mobility score of Parker and Palmer; comorbidities as well as mortality rates of the groups were compared. Mean operation time and median full weight-bearing time were significantly shorter in group B (p<0.05 for both). As for the Harris hip scores, group B showed better outcomes for the third-month evaluation (p=0.006). However, 2-year assessments were similar (p=0.067). In addition, higher Parker and Palmer mobility scores were obtained in group B at the 2-year assessment (p<0.001). The frequencies of prosthetic dislocation, cortical porosis and subsidence were higher in group A (p<0.05 for all). The findings obtained in this study suggest that diap
