Minimum 2-Year Outcomes of a Novel 3D-printed Fully Porous Titanium Acetabular Shell in Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty.

Background: Fully porous acetabular shells are an appealing choice for patients with extensive acetabular defects undergoing revision total hip arthroplasty (rTHA). This study reports on the early outcomes of a novel 3-D printed fully porous titanium acetabular shell in revision acetabular reconstruction.

Methods: A multicenter retrospective study of patients who received a fully porous titanium acetabular shell for rTHA with a minimum of 2 years of follow-up was conducted.

Minimal invasive posterior total hip arthroplasty: are 6 weeks of hip precautions really necessary?

Introduction: Postoperative hip dislocations have been reported in 0.5 to 10.6 % of patients after primary posterolateral total hip arthroplasty (THA).

Elderly patients with pelvic fracture: interventions and outcomes.

We examined the outcome of elderly trauma patients with pelvic fractures. Patients 65 years of age and older (elderly) with pelvic fractures were retrospectively compared with patients younger than 65 years with pelvic fractures and also with elderly patients without fracture. Over the study period, 1223 patients sustained a pelvic fracture (younger than 65 years, n=1066, 87.

Detecting neuronal activity changes using an interspike interval algorithm compared with using visual inspection.

A universally accepted method for efficiently detecting neuronal activity changes (NACs) in neurophysiological studies has not been established. Visual inspection is still considered to be one of the most reliable methods, although it is limited when it is used for analyzing large quantities of data. In this study, an algorithm that considers interspike intervals (ISIs) was developed to define the onset of NACs.
