My name is Matt Porter and I am a medical student at the Washington State University Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine. Before becoming a medical student, I served 8 years in the Army as a Military Intelligence Officer, with one combat tour to Afghanistan in 2014 as the Chief of Intelligence Threat and Reconnaissance operations for Zabul Province in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, serving alongside our Afghan and coalition partners. I am a graduate of the United States Military Academy, where I earned a Bachelor of Sciences degree in Life Sciences with honors, as well as a minor in nuclear engineering. With me on this adventure is my wonderful wife Katy, who enriched my life forever by saying yes to me while I was still in the service, and we just celebrated 4 years of marriage. My current clinical interests center around Orthopaedics, General/Trauma Surgery, and Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation.

Case: A 71-year-old woman with a 2-year history of spondylosis and radiculopathy presented with progressively worsening cervical spine pain and neurological dysfunction for 2 years. The patient developed posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) after postoperative hematoma in the retroesophageal and retropharyngeal areas. This occurred status post anterior cervical diskectomy and fusion (ACDF) of C4-C6. One year postoperatively, the patient recovered with full ambulation, neurological improvement, and resolution of all PRES signs and symptoms. Conclusion: We present a case of a previously undescribed outcome of PRES as a complication of ACDF likely related to postoperative hypertension and fragile blood vessels.

DOI 10.2340/17453674.2022.3037 The Corail hip stem (Depuy Synthes, Raynham, MA, USA), is a tapered Ti-6AI-4V, ASTM Grade 5, alpha-beta titanium alloy femoral stem that was introduced in 1986 (1). It is straight with a quadrangular proximal cross-section, which is flared in the coronal and sagittal planes to promote proximal fixation. The distal stem is tapered, and the entirety of the stem is fully hydroxyapatite (HA) coated with a thickness of 150 μm, with a macrotexture of horizontal and vertical grooves (1). Since its inception, no changes have been made to the stem’s macrotexture or HA thickness due to its relative success. This device has received widespread worldwide use and has shown high long-term survival in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) (1-3).
