The Forgotten Joint Score after total knee arthroplasty with a kinematic alignment‐optimized femoral component matches total hip arthroplasty

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose In kinematic alignment (KA) total knee arthroplasty (TKA), 50% of patients treated with a femoral component that has a 6° valgus prosthetic trochlear groove (PTG) show an abnormal quadriceps line of pull directed laterally to the groove.

Feasibility of Laryngeal Joint Replacement: A Proof of Concept Study in Cadavers

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Treatment in advanced cases of posterior laryngeal stenosis relies on permanent tracheostomy or irreversible arytenoidectomy/cordectomy, which are compromises between voice, swallowing, and airway. While having intact laryngeal neuromuscular function, there is immobility of the vocal cord due to scarring and ankylosis of the cricoarytenoid joint.

Advancements in Magnesium Applications, Biocompatible Implants to Nanoparticles in Medicine and Biomedical Innovations

MetalMat, EarlyView.
Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys are identified as prospective materials for orthopedic and cardiovascular applications because of their bio‐corrosiveness and ability to stimulate tissue reparative processes. Although compared with traditional metals, Mg is biocompatible; however, it has various problems that stem from its biodegradation nature, for ...
