Article Synopsis
- Delayed neurological decline can occur after successful decompression surgery for cervical myelopathy, prompting a study on the effectiveness of revision surgery.
- Fourteen patients who underwent both primary and revision decompression surgeries were evaluated to compare their neurological recovery, using the modified Japanese Orthopedic Association (mJOA) score.
- Results showed that the improvement in mJOA scores after revision surgery was comparable to that of the primary surgery, suggesting that patients can regain lost neurological function with careful case selection for revision.
Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the survival of a collarless, straight, hydroxyapatite-coated femoral stem in total hip arthroplasty (THA) at a minimum follow-up of 20 years.
Methods: We reviewed the results of 165 THAs using the Omnifit HA system in 138 patients, performed between August 1993 and December 1999. The mean age of the patients at the time of surgery was 46 years (20 to 77).
