Background: To improve the education of orthopaedic residents and enhance patient care in the Iran's healthcare system, it is necessary to gather information about the current status of scientific, practical, and research-based education for residents.Methods: The research project initially focused on examining the executive curriculum in 14 centers affiliated with 6 different medical universities. Subsequently, an investigation was conducted into human resources, infrastructure, operating room facilities, educational and research outcomes, as well as the regular implementation of practical examinations to evaluate the performance of residents during their residency years. All the aforementioned aspects were covered using a comprehensive questionnaire, which was distributed via the "Formafzar.com" website as a link to the heads of departments in these centers by the Iranian Orthopaedic Association. The relationship between facilities and equipment and passing the future specialized orthopaedic board examination was also evaluated.Results: Among the examined centers, only 20% adhered to the criteria of Iran educational curriculum in all aspects of human resources, education, and research.Conclusion: a regular evaluation of teaching methods used by international centers and the national curriculum is necessary for orthopaedic training centers in Iran. Additionally, regulatory systems should monitor the training process of orthopaedic residents to standardize services, equipment, and educational programs in the country.

Introduction: The risk of femoral neck fracture increases in the End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) patients who underge hemodialysis. The aim of this study was to describe our experience with the treatment of femoral neck fracture in this particular group of patients. Method: In a retrospective study, between January 2010 to December 2015, there were 16 displaced femoral neck fracture in 12 haemodialytic ESRD patient. All patients underwent total hip arthroplasty via direct anterior approach (three cementless and 9 cemented). No closed suction drain was used. Follow up regime was at 3,6 and 12 month and annually thereafter. Result: All patients were satisfied with the results of total hip arthroplasty. At the time of the final follow-up of 22 months (2-47) months, all the hips in the 12 haemodialytic patients functioned well without any loosening, and with a Harris hip score (HHS) of 90(82–100). Of those patients who received cementless components: one patient showed loosening of femoral component on the right and then left hip one year after surgery. He underwent revision of femoral component to a cemented one. The other complications include one greater trochanteric fracture, one intraoperative distal femoral fracture, one postoperative hematoma formation and one superficial surgical site infection. Conclusion: In this small series, relatively high complication rate is observable in cases of ESRD with femoral neck fracture treated by hip Arthroplasty. The use of cemented femoral sterns is preferred and extra caution is advised to avoid fracture in such osteoporotic bones.

AbstractTotal hip Arthroplasty (THA) is an advanced surgical modality, which reduces hip pain resulting from destruction or degenerative change. THA may be associated with complications, such as instability. Instability is the second common reason for revision surgery. The etiology of instability can be factors like prosthetic malposition, impingement, and low soft tissue tension around the hip and also polyethylene wear. In this paper, we will review the common causes of instability following THA in various phases, and suggest the strategies to prevent instability following THA.
