In Vitro Evaluation of Hemiarthroplasty Bearing Materials: A Scoping Review (Part I)

Journal of Orthopaedic Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hemiarthroplasty is used to treat joint damage confined to one side, aiming to preserve the remaining healthy cartilage and bone while addressing conditions like femur fractures and osteonecrosis; however, challenges persist due to cartilage wear and inconsistent clinical outcomes.

Laser Disinfection Acts as Biofilm‐Disrupter in Periprosthetic Joint Infection (PJI)

Journal of Orthopaedic Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Infections after joint arthroplasties represent a devastating and progressively escalating complication with increased morbidity and mortality. The eradication of biofilms from infected implants is still an unsolved challenge. The erbium‐doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Er:YAG) laser, which delivers high‐energy light for rapid tissue ablation ...

Reimagining Outcomes: A Perspective Review of Advances in Remote Monitoring Technologies in Post‐Arthroplasty Patient Care

Journal of Orthopaedic Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Arthroplasty surgery is a common and successful end‐stage intervention for advanced osteoarthritis. Yet, postoperative outcomes vary significantly among patients, leading to a plethora of measures and associated measurement approaches to monitor patient outcomes. Traditional approaches rely heavily on patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs),

Infection in prosthetic material [PDF]

, 2015
Surgical site infection (SSI) occurs when a wound created as part of a surgical procedure becomes infected. SSI is one of the most common healthcare-associated infections and occurs in approximately 5% of patients undergoing a surgical procedure. SSI may

Frontiers in the Management of Orthopaedic Periprosthetic Joint Infection

Journal of Orthopaedic Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a devastating complication of total joint arthroplasty (TJA), one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures worldwide. Management of acute PJI commonly involves debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention (DAIR), though failure rates remain high due to antibiotic‐tolerant biofilms. Chronic

Patterns of risk of cancer in patients with metal-on-metal hip replacements versus other bearing surface types: a record linkage study between a prospective joint registry and general practice electronic health records in England. [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND: There are concerns that metal-on-metal hip implants may cause cancer. The objective of this study was to evaluate patterns and timing of risk of cancer in patients with metal-on-metal total hip replacements (THR).
