A comparison of SanatMetal Sanat Swing and Zimmer NexGen® total knee implants: 10-year postoperative follow-up results.

Objectives: In this study, we present our 10-year postoperative follow-up results of Sanat Swing® and NexGen® total knee implants.

Patients And Methods: A total of 189 patients (93 males, 96 females; mean age: 68 years; range, 48 to 86 years) who underwent total knee replacement between January 2008 and September 2010 were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 105 patients (Group A) were implanted a cemented Sanat Swing knee prosthesis and 84 patients (Group B) were implanted a cemented NexGen knee prosthesis.

Evaluation of clinical outcomes of cemented vs uncemented knee prostheses covered with titanium plasma spray and hydroxyapatite: A minimum two years follow-up.

Objectives: In this study, we introduce the SanatSwing cementless total knee prosthesis coated with a combination of titanium plasma spray and hydroxyapatite porous coating and compared its early results to the SanatSwing cemented knee prosthesis.

Patients And Methods: We compared 278 patients, who underwent total knee replacement between September 2012 and February 2017. A total of 142 patients (Group A; 78 male, 64 female, mean age 69±14) were implanted a cemented SanatSwing and 136 patients (Group B; 83 male, 53 female, mean age 59±10), a cementless SanatSwing knee prosthesis was implanted.

Does a different dose of gamma irradiation have the same effect on five different types of tendon allografts? - a biomechanical study.

Introduction: The goals of our study were to evaluate the biomechanical differences between five tendons and the changes in biomechanical properties caused by irradiation.

Methods: Achilles, quadriceps, semitendinosus + gracilis (STG), tibialis anterior (TA) and the peroneus longus (PL) were harvested from 30 donors. Group A contained 50 tendons without gamma irradiation.
