Intrinsic Antimicrobial Properties of a Novel Silorane‐Based Material for Orthopedic Applications
ABSTRACT One of many drawbacks of PMMA bone cement used to secure orthopedic implants is that its surface is highly susceptible to bacterial attachment and biofilm formation. In an effort to find alternative materials, we focused on silorane‐based polymers previously developed for use in dental composites.

MRI of Total Hip Arthroplasty: Successful Ripple Artifact Reduction Using Wavelet Domain Filtering
ABSTRACT Background Slice encoding for metal artifact correction (SEMAC) is used in MRI for total hip arthroplasties for metal artifact reduction. However, ripple artifacts often arise near the implant, impairing diagnosis in affected regions. Hypothesis Applying a wavelet domain filter (WD‐Filter) might reduce ripple artifacts and improve image ...

Abstract Purpose The presence of a sinus tract in chronic periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) has traditionally been considered a contraindication to single‐stage total knee arthroplasty (TKA) revision. However, an increasing number of surgeons are now performing single‐stage revisions in this context, despite limited comparative data.

Abstract Purpose Results after debridement, antibiotics and implant retention (DAIR) for acute periprosthetic knee joint infections (PJIs) vary widely. Although data are limited, surgeon expertise and surgical technique likely influence outcomes. Standardized DAIR performed by surgeons within a multidisciplinary team (MDT) dedicated to the treatment of

Brucella melitensis periprosthetic joint infection:
Brucellosis, caused by a facultative intracellular gram-negative coccobacillus, is one of the most common zoonotic infections worldwide. Very rarely, brucellosis can cause periprosthetic joint infections (PJI). In this case-based literature review, we summarize the current medical literature regarding Brucella PJI, with the aim to raise awareness among

Abstract Purpose The influence of change in coronal alignment on clinical outcomes following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remains unclear. The Coronal Plane Alignment of the Knee (CPAK) classification can be broken up into arithmetic hip–knee–ankle (aHKA) angle and joint line obliquity (JLO) components, potentially identifying distinct failure ...
