Several studies have found a relationship between the rotational anatomy of distal femur and overall coronal lower limb alignment in knees with osteoarthritis (OA). Less is known about rotation proximal tibia, especially context total knee arthroplasty (TKA), where one goals surgery to achieve appropriate component-to-component rotation. The aim this study was investigate extremity relative tibial A prospective cohort patients an end-stage OA scheduled for TKA conducted. All underwent...
Porous tantalum has been extensively used in orthopaedic surgery, including uncemented total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Favourable results were reported with earlier monobloc tibial components and the design evolved to modular implants. We aimed analyse possible causes for extensive medial tibia bone loss, resulting porous baseplate fracture after primary TKA. Retrieved tissue samples scanned 3 MeV focused proton beam Proton-Induced X-ray Emission (micro-PIXE) elemental analysis. Fractographic...
Subchondroplasty is a new minimally invasive surgical technique developed to treat bone marrow lesions (BML) and early osteoarthritis (OA). During the procedure, engineered calcium phosphate compound (CPC) injected. It claimed by manufacturer that during healing process, CPC replaced with bone. The purpose of this study was verify replacement after subchondroplasty for first time in humans. A 76-year old woman referred resistant medial knee pain. Standing radiographs showed varus OA magnetic...
Minimally invasive chevron Akin osteotomy (MICA) has become increasingly common and is compatible with the traditional open approaches for hallux valgus correction. However, it impeded by concerns regarding steep learning curve, increased radiation exposure some specific complications. No standardized method identifying a curve exists. We used reproducible mathematical model to accurately define of MICA focus on fluoroscopy time, procedure duration complications rate.We conducted...
Background and Objectives: Increased revision rate of dual-modular (DM) femoral stems in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) because modular-neck breakage adverse local tissue reactions (ALTRs) to additional junction damage products is well established some designs have been recalled from the market. However, long-term studies specific DM did not confirm inferiority these compared standard single-modular (SM) stems, a head-to-head comparison THA missing. The objectives this multicentre...
Femoral nerve palsy after THA is well known, but delayed rare. We describe a 58-year-old man who had progressive thigh pain, weakness, and numbness develop 13 years cementless arthroplasty of his left hip. Plain radiographs showed substantial liner wear. MRI the lumbar spine was unrevealing EMG peripheral neurogenic process involving femoral nerve. The large intrapelvic cystic mass confirmed by an abdominopelvic CT scan. Percutaneous aspiration cyst performed. Cultures fluid were negative...
The majority of contemporary total hip arthroplasty (THA) implants are constructed from Ti-alloys, which generally believed to generate fewer adverse local tissue reactions (ALTR) compared CoCr-alloys. This study presents a case unusual primary THA failure where substantial release Ti-alloy debris was observed. A 52-year-old active male underwent after posttraumatic aseptic necrosis the femoral head in 2006. Seventeen years procedure, patient presented with groin pain and restricted range...
Abstract Background Femoral stems with bimodular (head-neck as well neck-body) junctions were designed to help surgeons address patients’ hip anatomy individually. However, arthroplasty registers have reported higher revision rates in than modularity limited the head-neck trunnion. our knowledge, no epidemiologic study has identified patient-specific risk factors for modular femoral neck fractures, and some using these designs still are produced marketed. Questions/purposes The purposes of...
From a total of 153 patients (251 feet), 64 (41.8%) patients, who had 105 modified Mitchell procedures, were clinically and radiographically examined with follow-up periods ranging from 15 to 24 years (mean, 21 years). Mean age at operation was 41 (range, 12–64 The classic double osteotomies, which diverged slightly toward the plantar surface distal fragment, shifted laterally, angled plantarward, fixed smooth Kirschner wire. In this way, it possible achieve reduction in first...
