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),

Corrosion in Modular Revision Hip Stem Tapers – A Retrieval Analysis

Journal of Orthopaedic Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In revision hip arthroplasty, modular stems enable intraoperative adjustment of the biomechanics of the hip to ensure a stable joint function even in complex anatomical cases. Modular stem junctions, however, carry the risk of junction degradation due to corrosive processes or even junction breakage.
