Loosening of primary cemented and noncemented components total hip arthroplasties always is accompanied by a loss bone stock. There are several options for reconstruction the acetabular femoral defects. The authors' treatment choice standardized revision procedure with tight impaction morsellized cancellous autograft or allograft chips in reconstructions. In this study, clinical radiographic evaluation defects reconstructed impacted heads was described. A cup supplemented grafts wire meshes...
Abstract Dendritic cells (DCs) are specialized APCs that can be activated upon pathogen recognition as well of endogenous ligands, which released during inflammation and cell stress. The exogenous ligands depends on TLRs, abundantly expressed in synovial tissue from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. Furthermore TLR found to present RA serum fluid significantly increased, compared with healthy volunteers patients systemic sclerosis lupus erythematosus. Identification novel might contribute...

Three considered loose on radiographs. Survivorship an end point for...
Tibial fixation in revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA) can present surgical challenges. It has been suggested that appropriate at least two of the three anatomical zones (epiphysis, metaphysis, and diaphysis) is essential for implant survival. However, supporting clinical data are lacking. In this retrospective case-control study, we investigated relationship between zonal hybrid rTKA tibial components re-revision aseptic loosening (rrTKA-AL).
Animal studies have shown almost complete incorporation of impacted morselized bone grafts. To determine whether this also is true in humans, 24 acetabular biopsy specimens from 21 hips 20 patients were examined. Biopsy obtained 3 months to 15 years after reconstruction primary and revision total hip arthroplasties combination with a cemented cup. Histologic examination showed rapid revascularization the graft, directly followed by osteoclastic resorption woven formation on graft remnants....
This study presents the clinical and radiological results of 62 consecutive acetabular revisions in 58 patients, at a mean 16.5 years follow-up (15 to 20). The Kaplan-Meier survivorship for cup with end-point any reason, was 79% 15 (95% confidence interval (CI); 67 91). Excluding two septic loosening three six years, one revision well-fixed after 12 course femoral revision, 84% CI; 73 95). At review there were no additional cases loosening, although seven reconstructions showed radiolucent...
We report a long-term review of 60 acetabular components revised using impacted, morsellised bone allografts and cemented polyethylene cup. The defects were cavitary (37) or combined (23). Follow-up was for mean 11.8 years (10 to 15).
Acetabular bone stock loss compromises the outcome in primary and revision total hip arthroplasty. In 1979, a biologic method was introduced with tightly impacted cancellous allografts combination cemented polyethylene cup for acetabular reconstruction. With this technique, it is possible to replace of repair normal mechanics function standard implant. Based on authors' 20 years experience, review long-term data presented arthroplasty preexisting loss, rheumatoid arthritis, patients who had...
We report a long-term review of 60 acetabular components revised using impacted, morsellised bone allografts and cemented polyethylene cup. The defects were cavitary (37) or combined (23). Follow-up was for mean 11.8 years (10 to 15). Further revision needed in five hips, two septic three aseptic loosening. overall survival rate at 90%; excluding the cases it 94%. Acetabular reconstruction with impacted cancellous grafts cement gives satisfactory results.
To simulate femoral intramedullary bone stock loss in revision surgery of failed total hip arthroplasties, a method was developed using impacted trabecular grafts. In 14 goats cemented arthroplasty performed, fixating the stem within circumferential construction allografts. After 6 or 12 weeks, 4 were used for mechanical tests and 3 histology.The stability stems determined loading experiment with roentgen-stereophotorammetric analysis; loads up to 1.44 times body weight used.
