The aim of this study was to determine outcomes of total hip replacement (THR) with the Lemania cemented femoral stem. A total of 78 THR patients were followed and compared to 17 "fit", healthy, elderly and 72 "frail" elderly subjects without THR, using cl ...
Wear is a key problem limiting the lifetime and performance of total hip arthroplasty. The synovial fluid, acting as lubricant, can alleviate the wear of implants but also introduces corrosion. The interaction of mechanical wear and electrochemical corrosi ...
Total knee arthroplasty is nowadays one of the most important orthopedic surgery. It consists of a procedure in which parts of the knee are replaced by a prosthesis. The largest indication for total knee arthroplasty is osteoarthritis, a knee disease that ...
This study compared the outcome of total knee replacement (TKR) in adult patients with fixed- and mobile-bearing prostheses during the first post-operative year and at five years' follow-up, using gait parameters as a new objective measure. This double-bli ...
Complications related to the neck-stem junction of modular stems used for total hip arthroplasty (THA) are generating increasing concern. A 74-year-old male had increasing pain and a cutaneous reaction around the scar 1 year after THA with a modular neck-s ...
A good implant primary stability is closely associated with long-term success of total hip arthroplasty. Excessive interfacial micromotion around the femoral component after cementless hip replacement is related to aseptic loosening of the stem and affects ...
Medialization of the cup with a respective increase in femoral offset has been proposed in THA to increase abductor moment arms. Insofar as there are potential disadvantages to cup medialization, it is important to ascertain whether the purported biomechan ...
The hip is one of the most injured joint in the body with ageing. Osteoarthritis and degenerative diseases often lead to the necessity of a total hip arthroplasty in order to reduce pain and increase mobility. The advantage of cementless implants resides i ...
The three-dimensional (3D) correction of glenoid erosion is critical to the long-term success of total shoulder replacement (TSR). In order to characterise the 3D morphology of eroded glenoid surfaces, we looked for a set of morphological parameters useful ...
Nowadays, pain and mobility issues of the hip such as arthritis bring more and more people to go through a hip replacement. The primary stability of an implant is essential for the long-term success of hip arthroplasty. Excessive micromotion is an indicato ...
