Abstract Minimally invasive total hip arthroplasty (MIS THA) aims at minimizing damage to muscles and tendons accelerate postoperative recovery. Computer navigation allows a precise prosthesis alignment without complete visualization of the bony landmarks during MIS THA. A randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted determine effectiveness computer‐navigated anterior approach for THA compared conventional posterolateral technique on restoration physical functioning recovery following...
Abstract Background A healthy lifestyle is indispensable for the prevention of noncommunicable diseases. However, medicine hampered by time constraints and competing priorities treating physicians. dedicated front office (LFO) in secondary/tertiary care may provide an important contribution to optimize patient-centred connect initiatives from community. The LOFIT study aims gain insight into (cost-)effectiveness LFO. Methods Two parallel pragmatic randomized controlled trials will be...
The outcomes of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and hip (THA) in patients with haemophilia have not been compared other patient populations. aim this study was to compare the results joint replacement therapy without retrospectively. This is a controlled retrospective cohort study. complications long-term 21 TKAs 6 THAs performed 22 were those 42 12 bleeding disorders. Patients matched for type arthroplasty, gender, year surgery age. Blood loss, infection rate, revision, implant survival...
The purpose of this study was to investigate stability and strain distribution a tibial plateau reconstruction with trabecular metal cone while the component is implanted without stem, whether prosthetic influenced by bone mineral density. Trabecular cones are designed fill up major defects in total knee arthroplasty. Tibial components can be combination but it unclear necessary after cone. Implanting stem give extra stability, may have negative side effects. revision arthroplasties were...
Introduction A new low-dose X-ray device, called EOS, has been introduced for determining lower-limb alignment in 2D and 3D. Reliability not yet assessed when using EOS on lower limbs containing a knee prosthesis. Therefore purpose of this study was to determine intraobserver interobserver reliability 3D prosthesis measurements after revision total arthroplasty (rTKA). Methods Forty anteroposterior lateral images 37 rTKA patients were included. Two observers independently performed these...
The Latitude total elbow prosthesis is a third-generation implant, developed to restore the natural anatomy of elbow. Literature on this scarce. aim study was analyze mid-term results prosthesis.We retrospectively evaluated 62 patients (21 men and 41 women). mean age at time surgery 65 years (range, 28-87 years). main indication for inflammatory arthritis. outcome measures were complications, reoperations, self-reported physical functioning, pain, satisfaction, objectively measured...
Background The number of complications after total elbow arthroplasty (TEA) is high and survival rates are low compared to hip knee arthroplasties. most common reason for revision aseptic loosening, which might be caused by overloading the elbow. In an attempt lower failure rates, current clinical practice restrict activities patients with a TEA. However, postoperative management TEA poorly investigated topic, as no evidence-based guidelines exist aftercare often surgeon-based. this study we...
This study examined the accuracy and reproducibility of a body-fixed sensor-based assessment for quantifying frontal plane angular movements (upper) thorax pelvis patients with hip osteoarthritis at different walking speeds. To evaluate accuracy, sensors attached to three were compared results based on an optical motion analysis system. Accuracy was high, small consistent mean differences (<1.0 degree) corresponding standard deviations (<1.3 degrees) between system sensor data....
Overloading of the elbow joint prosthesis following total arthroplasty can lead to implant failure. Joint moments during daily activities are not well contextualized for a prosthesis's failure limits, and effect current postoperative instruction on loading is unclear. This study investigates difference in between simulated tasks flexion-extension, pronation-supination, varus-valgus movement directions. Additionally, load examined.Nine healthy participants (age 45.8 ± 17 years, 3 males)...
Objective of this study was to compare intraoperative computer-assisted surgery (CAS) alignment measurements during total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with pre- and postoperative coronal using EOS 3D reconstructions. In a prospective study, 56 TKAs imageless CAS were performed recorded twice: before bone cuts made after implantation the prosthesis. Pre- Thanks radiostereography system, measurement errors due malpositioning deformity acquisition are eliminated. compared Varus/valgus angle (VV),...
The EOS stereoradiography system has shown to provide reliable varus/valgus (VV) measurements of the lower limb in 2D (VV2D) and 3D (VV3D) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Validity these not been investigated yet, therefore purpose this study was determine validity VV2D VV3D.EOS images were made a phantom containing prosthesis, while varying VV angle from 15° varus valgus flexion 0° 20°, changing rotation 20° internal external rotation. Differences between actual position its as measured...
Bilateral coracoclavicular joints were found in a 44-year-old male patient following fall. He had an Indonesian mother and Dutch father. Prior to the injury he was asymptomatic full range of movement both shoulders but trauma resulted pain limitation left shoulder which required resection anomalous joint, after pain-free restored.
Despite good results of primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA), the number revision arthroplasties (rTKAs) is rising. Proper implant position essential, since malposition leads to worse clinical outcome. In rTKA most anatomical landmarks have disappeared because extensive bone loss, making it more difficult adequately prosthesis. TKA, computer-assisted surgery (CAS) better prosthetic alignment than mechanical navigation guides. Literature about use CAS in scarce though, and effect on...
Abstract Aims It is essential to exclude a periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) prior revision surgery. recommended routinely aspirate the before However, this may not be necessary in subgroup of patients. The aim our study was investigate if specific clinical and implant characteristics could identified rule out PJI Methods We retrospectively evaluated patients who underwent hip or knee surgery between October 2015 2018. Patients were diagnosed with according MSIS diagnostic criteria....
