Article Synopsis
- - The study examines the effectiveness of highly-porous 3D-printed titanium acetabular cups in total hip arthroplasty for patients with rheumatoid arthritis, a group typically facing higher risks and complications compared to those with osteoarthritis.
- - Researchers followed 37 rheumatoid arthritis patients over an average of 3.2 years, noting significant improvements in hip function and pain, as measured by the Harris hip score and VAS, with no acetabular complications reported.
- - Results indicate that these 3D-printed implants achieved excellent osseointegration and positive clinical outcomes, suggesting their viability for use in patients with rheumatoid arthritis undergoing hip surgery.
