Orthopedic implants have become essential components of modern medicine. The risk infection total hip arthroplasty (THA) is 1.5%−2%. Are the C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and procalcitonin (PCT) good markers for THA screenings? From February 2009 to December 2012 at our Department Orthopedics Traumatology, 1248 patients were treated with THA. No prosthesis was cemented. All received antibiotic prophylaxis. discharged approximately 7.4 days after surgery this...
Surgical treatment of complex fractures the distal femur in elderly is controversial. Osteoporosis and pre-existent osteoarthritis are common comorbidities which add to need for early walking rapid restoration function also pose significant obstacles achievement satisfactory results with standard fixation techniques. Recently, several authors have suggested that primary arthroplasty could be a viable alternative option techniques selected patients fractures.To present our experience 11 cases...
We identified 39 patients (23 female and 16 male) underwent hip revisions through mega-prosthesis. The most common causes were periprosthetic fractures, osteolysis consequences of infected arthroplasty. average follow-up was 5 years (2.1 to 6.5), age 69 (47 78). At the final all implants resulted functional osteointegrated. Merle D'Aubignè Postel rating scale used for evaluation, better results observed in fractures. Postoperative complications occurred eight patients. Thus, megaprosthesis a...
Abstract This paper proposes a new time scaled Wiener process with random effects that has been specially designed to allow the description of non‐monotonic degradation phenomena bathtub shaped rate, here intended as derivative mean function. Two different parameterizations proposed are suggested, and main features illustrated discussed. The maximum likelihood estimation its parameters is addressed. A failure threshold model adopted formulate estimate probability distribution function...
Aspergillus fumigatus is a major airborne nosocomial pathogen that responsible for severe mycosis in immunocompromised patients. We studied the efficacy of an innovative mobile air-treatment device eliminating A. from air following experimental massive contamination high-security room. Viable mycological particles were isolated sequential samples order to evaluate device’s effectiveness removing fungus. The concentration conidia was reduced by 95% 18 min. Contamination below detection...
To evaluate the clinical outcomes of patients treated with Girdlestone procedure (GP) or excision arthroplasty (EA) for periprosthetic infection massive bone defects and undergoing revision arthroplasty.All EA GP hip between 2014 2017 sustaining (RA) were included in study. Patients less than 24 months follow-up 12 RA excluded. Any sign implant mobilization fracture was assessed through X-ray. evaluated D'aubignè-Postel score before at last follow-up. Mann-Whitney U test used to assess...
According to the European Community Regulation 1139/2003, a sampling plan based on an appropriate tests detect presence of central nervous system (CNS) tissue surface head muscles had be implemented in each member state starting from 2003. In previous studies, we showed medium CNS contamination meat Italian slaughterhouses 14,7%. Recently, German authors referred about alarming rates (82%) para-vertebral after routine carcass splitting and spinal cord removal practices. that context,...
Revision total knee arthroplasty(rTKA) is a challenging and expensive treatment for orthopedic surgeons who have to deal with poor bone quality loss. This study aims retrospectively evaluate the clinical radiological results of patients undergoing rTKA porous metaphyseal sleeves in AORI type II III defects.We conducted retrospective series continuous treated mechanical failure TKA. All aseptic loosening TKR underwent revision arthroplasty. We included only IIa/b defects. The Septic or other...
Within a timeframe of 8 years (2008-2016), 38 patients have undergone total hip replacement surgery for coxarthrosis or aseptic necrosis secondary to acetabulum fractures.The study included 27 males and 11 females between 42 70 age, all whom came from other institutions. The follow-up period ranged minimum 4.6 maximum 9.7 years.At the final follow-up, were evaluated using Merle D'Aubigne Pastel model. Optimal results found in cases. Three benefited surgical revisitation with implant exchange...
Femoral neck fractures (FNF) are associated to patient's disability, reduced quality of life and mortality. None the fixation devices commonly used for extracapsular (EC) FNF (i.e., dynamic hip screws (DHS) intramedullary nails (IN)) is clearly superior other, especially in case unstable (31.A2 31.A3 according AO/OTA classification). The aim our study was identify a sub-population patients with EC which better outcomes could be obtainable using total arthroplasty (THA).All treated THA were...
