Morphology of the sternoclavicular joint and its microanatomical changes in response to osteoarthritic degeneration

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
Abstract Although the sternoclavicular joint shares structural similarities with the knee and hip joints as a diarthrodial joint, its biomechanics differ significantly due to its non‐weight‐bearing nature. Nevertheless, it is subject to considerable loading, leading to increased susceptibility to osteoarthritis, a prevalent condition characterized by ...

Biomaterials in Total Joint Arthroplasty

, 2023
Primary total hip and knee arthroplasty (THA, TKA) are among the most common procedures performed in the United States. The volume of revision TKAs and THAs are also exponentially rising each year. Paramount to the success of total joint arthroplasty (TJA) is the correct choice of biomaterials which are used to reconstruct a particular joint.

Morphological Analysis of the Latissimus Dorsi Tendon Insertion: Implications for Optimizing Tendon Transfer Surgeries in Rotator Cuff Repair

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Latissimus dorsi (LD) tendon transfer is widely used to treat irreparable rotator cuff tears, particularly in cases with posterosuperior and anterosuperior tear patterns. We conducted a comprehensive anatomical analysis of the attachment of the LD tendon to the humerus, focusing on its morphological patterns and morphometric features, which ...

The Failure Rate of Internal Fixation Increases With Sagittal Displacement of the Femoral Head: A Retrospective Study

Health Care Science, EarlyView.
This study found that the degree of femoral head sagittal displacement is linked to the risk of internal fixation failure in femoral neck fracture. Measurements of the sagittal tilt angle of the femoral head (STAFH) using CT‐3D imaging showed high reliability (ICC = 0.97, 95% CI: 0.96–0.98). Patients with excessive sagittal displacement (anterior tilt ≥

Patient-Related Risk Factors for Periprosthetic Joint Infection after Total Joint Arthroplasty: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

PLoS ONE, 2016
Background Periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) are dreaded complications of total joint arthroplasties. The risk of developing PJIs is likely to be influenced by several patient factors such as sociodemographic characteristics, body mass index (BMI ...

Advanced Testing Protocols Simulate Failures and Validate Antioxidant Polyethylene in Ankle Implants

Journal of Orthopaedic Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Total ankle replacement (TAR) has become an effective treatment for end‐stage ankle osteoarthritis. Multiple factors, including patient characteristics, surgical technique, alignment, and bearing surfaces, influence TAR survivorship. Polyethylene (PE) fatigue is a key consideration in improving outcomes.

Bacteremia in Patients Undergoing Debridement, Antibiotics, and Implant Retention Leads to Increased Reinfections and Costs

Arthroplasty Today, 2022
Background: Debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention (DAIR) is a common treatment for acute prosthetic joint infection (PJI). The effects of concurrent bacteremia at the time of DAIR are poorly understood.

Comparison of External Rotation Torque of Short External Rotator Muscles in Hip Flexion Position

Journal of Orthopaedic Research, EarlyView.
Preserving the short external rotator muscles of the hip helps prevent dislocation after total hip arthroplasty, but it's unclear which muscles are most critical. This study quantified the external rotation torque in cadaveric hips and found that the obturator externus provides the highest torque during deep hip flexion, where dislocations often occur.

Clinical outcomes of total hip and knee arthroplasty for end-stage hemophilic arthropathy in patients with hemophilia: a retrospective study

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research
Purpose Hemophilic Arthropathy (HA) frequently affects the hip and knee joints, with total hip arthroplasty (THA) or total knee arthroplasty (TKA) serving as primary treatment methods for end-stage hemophilic arthropathy.
