Background. Late-onset chronic (low-grade) periprosthetic joint infections are often accompanied by unspecific symptoms, false-negative cultures or nonspecific low values of serum biomarkers. This may lead to the unintended implantation a revision prosthesis into an infected surgical site with risk short-term failure developing again. Conversely, false diagnosis infection result in multistage procedures, which expose patient unnecessary procedures and inappropriate antibiotic treatment....
Polymers as biomaterials possess favorable properties, which include corrosion resistance, light weight, biocompatibility, ease of processing, low cost, and an ability to be easily tailored meet specific applications. However, their inherent X-ray attenuation, resulting from the atomic numbers constituent elements, i.e., hydrogen (1), carbon (6), nitrogen (7), oxygen (8), makes them difficult visualize radiographically. Imparting radiopacity radiolucent polymeric implants is necessary enable...
Background: Google Glass is a promising premarket device that includes an optical head-mounted display. Several proof of concept reports exist, but there little scientific evidence regarding its use in medical setting. Objective: The objective this study was to empirically determine the feasibility deploying forensics Methods: used combination with self-developed app allowed for hands-free operation during autopsy and postmortem examinations 4 decedents performed by 2 physicians. A digital...
The aim of this study was to assess the role synovial C-reactive protein (CRP) in diagnosis chronic periprosthetic hip infection. We prospectively collected fluid from 89 patients undergoing revision arthroplasty and measured CRP, serum erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), white blood cell (WBC) count percentages polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN). Patients were classified as septic or aseptic by means clinical, microbiological, findings. high viscosity precluded analyses nine permitting...
Background: Ruptures of the patellar tendon are debilitating injuries requiring surgical repair. Reliable data about most appropriate suture technique and material missing. The standard procedure consists refixing with sutures in transpatellar tunnels, sometimes combined augmentation. Hypothesis: Suture anchors provide at least equal results concerning gap formation during cyclic loading ultimate failure load compared transosseous Study Design: Controlled laboratory study. Methods: A total...
Robotic-assisted surgery techniques are increasing in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). One crucial point is the prolonged time of surgery. The primary objective this study was to determine learning curve necessary minimize secondary evaluate accuracy implant alignment when using an imageless robotic system for TKA.In a case-control study, first 70 consecutive robotic-assisted TKA procedures performed by single senior surgeon were analyzed with regard and comparing intraoperative plan...
Abstract Purpose Restricted kinematic alignment (rKA) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and medial pivot (MP) designs already showed superior outcomes independent comparative studies. The objective of this study was to assess whether rKA with MP TKA provides better clinical functional compared mechanical (MA) TKA. Methods This is a randomised, parallel two group involving 98 patients end‐stage osteoarthritis. Patients were randomly allocated either or MA procedures conducted prothesis using...
A number of short stems for total hip arthroplasty have been introduced during the last decade. We describe our experience with NANOS prosthesis (Smith and Nephew, Marl, Germany). The potential increase bone mass around a femoral stem using densitometry may be an indicator secondary ingrowth. report outcome 72 in 65 patients between March 2003 October 2007. mean follow-up was 5.2±0.7 years age 63±8.3 years. Along demographic data co-morbidities, Harris Hip Score, Merle d'Aubigné mobility...
Several computer-assisted technologies, such as navigation and robotics, have been introduced to Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) in order increase surgical precision reduce complications. However, these technologies are often criticized due the increased costs effort associated with them; however, comparative data missing. The aim of present study was evaluate differences intraoperative workflows related perioperative cost-profiles four current used implant a TKA, gain comparison conventional...
Most currently used tools to diagnose septic arthritis are either not readily available or fail provide real-time results. Reagent strip tests have identified infections in various body fluids. We hypothesized that combined leukocyte esterase and glucose can aid diagnosing native synovial fluid because (1) concentrations would be elevated at the infection site of secretion by recruited neutrophils, (2) reduced bacterial metabolism.We prospectively investigated from consecutive patients with...
Background Accurate restoration of joint line height and posterior offset in primary Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) have been shown to be important factors post-operative range movement function. The aim this study was assess the accuracy a group patients that underwent robotic-assisted TKA (raTKA). A matched cohort using conventional jig-based technique assessed for comparison. null hypothesis there would no difference between groups. Methods This retrospective analysis 120 with end-stage...
