Introduction: The adoption of new techniques, such as the direct anterior (DA) approach, and technologies, such as robotic assistance, in total hip arthroplasty (THA) has the potential to alleviate the intraoperative physical and mental demand that surgeons experience. Therefore, the aim of this study is to compare the physical and mental demand of surgeons performing conventional DA THA with fluoroscopy and robotic-assisted DA THA without fluoroscopy.
Methods: Two orthopaedic surgeons completed bilateral DA THA's on six cadaveric specimens.
Introduction: Acetabular component placement is critical for total hip arthroplasty (THA) stability and clinical outcomes. We investigated cup placement with robotic-arm assisted (RA) and conventional manual (CM) THA and compared patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and dislocations.
Materials And Methods: Thirty-seven patients were randomized to undergo RA or CM primary THA.
Article Synopsis
- Engineering a perovskite precursor ink is essential for creating high-quality, uniform films suitable for large-scale manufacturing using solution coating methods.
- A ternary solvent system, using NMP and DMPU, is explored to improve the physical properties of slot-die-coated perovskite films and enhance device performance.
- By optimizing the concentrations of these solvents, researchers achieve a wider processing window and successfully produce perovskite minimodules with significant power conversion efficiencies of 19% and 16% on different substrate sizes.*
Article Synopsis
- The study compares the efficiency of robotic-assisted direct anterior (DA) total hip arthroplasty (THA) without fluoroscopy to traditional DA THA that uses fluoroscopy in two orthopaedic surgeons performing surgeries on cadaver specimens.
- Results showed that the robotic-assisted approach had significantly shorter acetabular reaming times and required fewer acetabular reamers compared to conventional techniques.
- Total surgical times and other workflow metrics were similar between the two methods, indicating potential advantages of robotic assistance in terms of efficiency without sacrificing overall surgical outcomes.
Background: Lung transplantation (LTx) remains the only efficient treatment for selected patients with end-stage pulmonary disease. The age limit for the acceptance of donor organs in LTx is still a matter of debate. We here analyze the impact of donor organ age and the underlying pulmonary disease on short- and long-term outcome and survival after LTx.
