Lower prosthesis-specific 10-year revision rate with crosslinked than with non-crosslinked polyethylene in primary total knee arthroplasty

Acta Orthopaedica, 2015
Background and purpose — While highly crosslinked polyethylene has shown reduced in vivo wear and lower rates of revision for total hip arthroplasty, there have been few long-term studies on its use in total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Surgical site infections and sepsis in gynecological surgery

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite advancements in infection control, surgical site infections (SSIs) and postoperative sepsis remain significant challenges in gynecological surgery, contributing to increased morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. In low‐income countries, circulatory failure due to septic shock leads to most deaths after surgery, with sepsis ...

A Machine Learning Approach to Microcalorimetric Pattern Classification of Pathogens in Synovial Fluid

Journal of Orthopaedic Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Isothermal microcalorimetry (IMC) is a promising tool for diagnosing periprosthetic joint infection (PJI), based on real‐time measurement of growth‐related heat production of pathogens, and faster than conventional microbial cultures. However, the feasibility of identifying specific pathogens in clinical samples using IMC has yet to be proven.

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.

Clutchable series-elastic actuator: Design of a robotic knee prosthesis for minimum energy consumption

International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics, 2013
The cyclic and often linear torque-angle relationship of locomotion presents the opportunity to innovate on the design of traditional series-elastic actuators (SEAs).

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 ...

No difference in 5‐year survivorship between cemented versus cementless total knee arthroplasty in a cohort of 5266 patients using a deep‐dish mobile bearing implant

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The best fixation method for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remains controversial. The aim of this study is to compare the effect of cemented and cementless fixation on prosthesis survivorship. Our primary hypothesis is that there is no difference in survivorship between cemented and cementless TKA.

A case of aseptic loosening after total knee replacement with porous-coated mega prosthesis despite progression of extra bone growth

Radiology Case Reports
Total knee replacement with mega prosthesis for periprosthetic fractures after total knee arthroplasty is related to early functional recovery, but aseptic loosening of the implant has been a major reoperation factor in the long-term outcome of total ...
