The Prevention of Periprosthetic Joint Infections [PDF]

The Open Orthopaedics Journal, 2016
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) following total joint arthroplasty (TJA) adversely affects patient quality of life and health status, and places a huge financial burden on the health care. The first step in combating this complication is prevention, which may include implementation of strategies during the preoperative, intraoperative, or ...

Reduction of Micro‐Motion at the Tapered Connection of Hip Endoprostheses with an Adapted Deep Rolling Process of CoCrMo Inner Tapers

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
The ball burnishing processes demonstrated a notable reduction of surface roughness, which in turn helps to reduce the formation of wear particles and is reflected in the significantly reduced wear rate. The torsional resistance in the range of micro‐motion (≈2 Nm) can be improved by implementing a ball burnishing process with augmented depth hardness.

Virulence‐Selective Trap–Capture–Kill Antibacterial Nanostructures With Immune–Metabolic Regulation for Treating Implant‐Associated Infections

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A virulence‐selective antibacterial system based on fascaplysin derivative 14‐modified TiO2 nanostructure (F‐14‐TNA) is developed for treating implant‐associated infections. F‐14‐TNA selectively traps hyperpathogenic bacteria via chemotaxis, captures them electrostatically, and kills them via reactive oxygen species‐mediated pathways.

Haversian canal structures can be associated with size effects in cortical bone [PDF]

, 2012
Prediction of periprosthetic failure may be improved by an improved model of bone elasticity which includes microstructural information. Micropolar theory facilitates such information to be included in a continuum model.

A systematic review of the evidence for single stage and two stage revision of infected knee replacement [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND: Periprosthetic infection about the knee is a devastating complication that may affect between 1% and 5% of knee replacement. With over 79 000 knee replacements being implanted each year in the UK, periprosthetic infection (PJI) is set to ...

Artificial Nervous Systems

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
By drawing inspiration from biological neural hierarchies and the working mechanisms of plasticity, researchers have constructed a series of bionic devices, including sensory devices, synapse devices, and artificial neural systems. They committed to simulating and surpassing the biological information processing function, thereby realizing the ...

Open reduction and internal fixation offers lower hip‐related complications compared to stem revision in Vancouver B2 fractures around cemented polished tapered femoral stems

Journal of Experimental Orthopaedics
Purpose Periprosthetic femoral fractures (PFFs) after total hip arthroplasty (THA) are increasing, particularly Vancouver B2 fractures around cemented polished tapered femoral stems. Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) are more frequently used in

Artificial Intelligence for Bone: Theory, Methods, and Applications

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) offer the potential to improve bone research. The current review explores the contributions of AI to pathological study, biomarker discovery, drug design, and clinical diagnosis and prognosis of bone diseases. We envision that AI‐driven methodologies will enable identifying novel targets for drugs discovery. The

Occult periprosthetic femoral fractures occur frequently during a long, trapezoidal, double-tapered cementless femoral stem fixation in primary THA.

PLoS ONE, 2019
The present study aimed to investigate the prevalence and clinical consequences of occult intra-operative periprosthetic femoral fractures in total hip arthroplasty (THA). Between 2012 and 2017, a total of 113 primary THAs were enrolled.
