Detecting total hip replacement prosthesis design on preoperative radiographs using deep convolutional neural network [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Identifying the design of a failed implant is a key step in preoperative planning of revision total joint arthroplasty. Manual identification of the implant design from radiographic images is time consuming and prone to error. Failure to identify the implant design preoperatively can lead to increased operating room time, more complex surgery ...

A critical comparison of methods for the determination of the ageing sensitivity in biomedical grade yttria stabilized zirconia [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biomedical Materials Research 72(2), 239-245 (2005), 2017
Since the recent failure events of two particular series of zirconia femoral heads for total hip replacement prosthesis, a large decrease in the use of zirconia ceramics for orthopaedic implants has been observed. In spite of the biomedical success of this material during the last ten years, this was required for safety reasons, until the cause of the ...

Long-acting liposomal bupivacaine decreases inpatient narcotic requirements in men undergoing penile prosthesis implantation.

open access: yesTurkish journal of urology, 2016
OBJECTIVE A new extended-release bupivacaine suspension bupivacaine (ERSB) delivers 3 days of local anesthetic and has been shown to reduce pain and narcotic usage in some patient groups but this issue is largely unstudied in urologic surgery. MATERIAL

Nondegloving technique for Peyronie's disease with penile prosthesis implantation and double dorsal-ventral patch graft

open access: yesAsian Journal of Andrology, 2017
A circumcising incision to deglove the penis for penile prosthesis (PP) implantation can increase the risk of ischemic injury to the glans penis. In order to avoid vascular complications, we describe a novel technique utilizing a ventral incision to ...
