Are current total knee arthroplasty implants tested and approved for personalised alignment?

open access: yesKnee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) traditionally aims for neutral mechanical alignment (MA) to ensure implant longevity. However, this approach ignores individual knee variations, potentially leading to soft‐tissue imbalances and suboptimal functional outcomes. As an alternative, personalised alignment techniques (PAT) have emerged that aim

Bisphosphonate use in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty reduces overall and aseptic revisions and periprosthetic bone mineral density loss: A systematic review from the FP‐UCBM Knee Study Group

open access: yesKnee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Bisphosphonates (BPs), widely used for osteoporosis management, have garnered attention in the context of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for their potential to preserve periprosthetic bone mineral density (BMD) and mitigate risks such as aseptic loosening, periprosthetic fractures, and implant failure. This study systematically reviewed

Arthrogenic muscle inhibition: A prevalent issue in knee arthroplasty

open access: yesKnee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Flexion contracture is a multifactorial complication after knee osteoarthritis and knee arthroplasty. Among the causes, arthrogenic muscle inhibition (AMI) has never been studied. It is a failure to achieve proper quadriceps motor activation, which can lead to flexion contracture due to hamstring contracture.

Percutaneous Bone Implant Surgery: A MIPS Modified Technique

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Since their introduction, passive percutaneous hearing aids have undergone substantial evolution, including changes in implant production, improvements in the sound processor, and simplification of surgical implantation techniques. The latest innovation comes from the minimally invasive technique proposed for the PONTO system (MIPS), which does not ...

Doc, Just Cut My Ears Off—A Case Report of Actinomyces in Bilateral Chronic Auricular Chondritis

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Ear piercings can lead to infectious complications, commonly involving Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This is the first documented case of bilateral chronic auricular chondritis caused by Actinomyces odontolyticus following cartilage piercings.

The Longitudinal Impact of Radiotherapy on Osseointegrated Hearing Aid Outcomes and Complications

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Radiation significantly increases the risk of both abutment and implant‐related osseointegrated hearing aid complications, particularly in the long term. Cumulative incidence plots demonstrate a greater discrepancy in complication rates between groups as time increases. Ongoing surveillance for complications in this population is critical.

Plasma Immersion Ion Implantation Increases Adhesive Bond Strength of PEK and PEEK to Dental Composites and Enables Hydrolysis Resistance

open access: yesMacromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.
Plasma‐immersion‐ion‐implantation (PIII) is applied to increase the bond strength between 3D printed Polyether–ether–ketone (PEEK) or Poly–ether–ketone (PEK) and dental composite resin. A predictive model is presented that demonstrates the relative effect of plasma and mechanical interlocking because of roughness. The bond strength achieved with plasma
