Infection burden in total hip and knee arthroplasties: an international registry-based perspective
Background: Infection remains a leading cause of failure of hip and knee replacements. Infection burden is the ratio of implants revised for infection to the total number of arthroplasties in a specific period, measuring the steady state of infection in ...

Surface replacement arthroplasty in the surgical treatment of hip osteoarthritis
Surface arthroplasty, also referred to as resurfacing, is a method of sparing hip arthroplasty, which is a surgical alternative usually reserved for younger, active patients. The introduction of successive generations of implants with metal-on-metal articulation resulted in increased interest in this method of treatment.

Friction in metal-on-metal total disc arthroplasty: effect of ball radius [PDF]
Total Disc Arthroplasty (TDA) can be used to replace a degenerated intervertebral disc in the spine. There are different designs of prosthetic discs, but one of the most common is a ball-and-socket combination.

Surface Replacement is Comparable to Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty [PDF]
Conversion of a failed surface hip replacement to a conventional total hip arthroplasty is reportedly a straightforward procedure with excellent results. We compared perioperative parameters, complications, and clinical as well as radiographic outcomes of 39 hemi and total hip resurfacing conversions with conventional THAs.
