No. 025: September-October 2023

This month, we are honored to feature an interview with Luigi Zagra, a Milan-based orthopedic surgeon whose career reflects a sustained commitment to intellectual rigor and the systematic use of clinical registries to evaluate surgical performance. A prominent figure in the European Hip Society and EFORT, Zagra has dedicated his practice to bearing surface optimization and complex hip revisions, emphasizing international collaboration and rigorous data analysis as the primary vehicles for advancing the discipline.

The clinical contributions in this issue address two principal domains. Musculoskeletal infection is examined through a case report on septic arthritis of the native hip caused by Granulicatella adiacens, complemented by a literature review, and a case series investigating surgical options and outcomes in calcaneal osteomyelitis. The issue further addresses revision of total hip arthroplasty, presenting an epidemiological multicentre analysis of 963 patients in France alongside an evaluation of dual mobility systems as a reconstructive strategy in revision settings.
