Advanced Testing Protocols Simulate Failures and Validate Antioxidant Polyethylene in Ankle Implants
Abstract Total ankle replacement (TAR) has become an effective treatment for end‐stage ankle osteoarthritis. Multiple factors, including patient characteristics, surgical technique, alignment, and bearing surfaces, influence TAR survivorship. Polyethylene (PE) fatigue is a key consideration in improving outcomes.

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

ABSTRACT CT‐based radiostereometric analysis (CT‐RSA) is an alternative to RSA to measure implant migration. We performed a clinical validation study using VoluMetric Matching Micromotion Analysis (V3MA) software for CT‐RSA. The aims of this study were to assess the agreement between V3MA and Model‐based RSA software (for RSA), and to determine the ...

ABSTRACT Hemiarthroplasty is commonly used to treat damage localized to one side of a synovial joint, maximally preserving the patient's opposing healthy bone and cartilage; however, challenges remain due to accelerated wear of the cartilage articulating with the implant surface. This scoping review summarized investigations of hemiarthroplasty bearing
