Sculpting the Future of Bone: The Evolution of Absorbable Materials in Orthopedics
This review summarizes the current status of polymeric, ceramic, and metallic absorbable materials in orthopedic applications, and highlights several innovative strategies designed to enhance mechanical performance, control degradation, and promote bioactivity. We also discuss the progress and translational potential of absorbable materials in treating

ABSTRACT Arthroplasty is most often performed to alleviate pain and restore function in patients with end‐stage degenerative joint disease. Uncemented implant fixation is increasingly used in total knee and total ankle arthroplasty. Implantation using interference press‐fit is a manufacturer‐recommended guideline for achieving stable primary fixation ...

Total hip arthroplasty versus hemiarthroplasty for displaced femoral neck fractures in the healthy elderly: A meta-Analysis and systematic review of randomized trials [PDF]
Purpose Displaced femoral neck fractures in healthy elderly patients have traditionally been managed with hemiarthroplasty (HA). Recent data suggest that total hip arthroplasty (THA) may be a better alternative. Methods A systematic review of the English

Abstract Purpose Data on the reliability of point‐of‐care (POC) tests for the rapid diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) using synovial fluid (SF) D‐dimer (DD), interleukin 6 (IL‐6) and procalcitonin (PCT) are limited. This study aimed to address this issue by evaluating the diagnostic accuracy of POC tests for SF DD, IL‐6 and PCT in ...
