Transcatheter mitral valve replacement versus redo surgery for mitral prosthesis failure: A systematic review and meta-analysis. [PDF]
BackgroundTranscatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) has emerged as an alternative to redo surgery. TMVR compared with redo surgical mitral valve replacement (SMVR) in patients with mitral prosthesis failure remains limited.

Catastrophic failure of a monolithic zirconia prosthesis
Recently, monolithic zirconia restorations have received attention as an alternative to zirconia veneered with feldspathic porcelain to eliminate chipping failures of veneer ceramics. In this clinical report, a patient with mandibular edentulism received 4 dental implants in the interforaminal area, and a screw-retained monolithic zirconia prosthesis ...

Younger age increases the risk of early prosthesis failure following primary total knee replacement for osteoarthritis [PDF]
Background and purpose Total knee replacements (TKRs) are being increasingly performed in patients aged ≤ 65 years who often have high physical demands. We investigated the relation between age of the patient and prosthesis survival following primary TKR

Biomechanical Evaluation of a Novel Bionic Hip Prosthesis Designed for Optimized Load Transfer and Initial Stability. [PDF]
Objective In total hip arthroplasty, the femoral component design requires a trade‐off between initial stability and stress shielding. We designed the new bionic hip arthroplasty (BHA) prosthesis with compression and tension screws to mimic compression ...

Early stenotic prosthesis failure after implantation of a stentless porcine aortic valve prosthesis [PDF]
Stentless biological aortic prostheses are used routinely in aortic valve replacement surgery, offering beneficial hemodynamics compared to stented biological valves of similar size. We report here a rare case of early stenotic prosthesis failure of a RootElan stentless porcine aortic valve prosthesis due to swelling at the bottom of the right coronary

Metal Hypersensitivity in Patients With Failure of Joint Prosthesis Treatment
The objective of this study is to measure lymphocyte responses to metal antigens using MELISA (memory lymphocyte immunostimulation assay) test–modified lymphocyte transformation test (mLTT) and to evaluate metal sensitization in patients with and without the need of prosthetic surgery. This study is a case‐control retrospective survey.

Biomechanical comparison between custom-made enhanced triflange and quadri-flange acetabular components for the treatment of Paprosky IIIB acetabular bone defects. [PDF]
Aims: The management of Paprosky IIIB acetabular bone defect is challenging in revision total hip arthroplasty. Custom-made acetabular components (CMAC) have been increasingly used in recent years.
