The mid-term survival of cemented, uncemented, and hybrid fixation of the ACS mobile bearing total knee arthroplasty.

Background: Till today, Cemented Fixation in Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is significantly more used than Hybrid or Uncemented Fixation. The purpose of this study was to compare Cemented, Uncemented and Hybrid Fixation of the ACS Mobile Bearing TKA at Mid-term follow-up.

Methods: This study was an extended data report of our prospective single-center, single-blinded randomized controlled clinical trial comprising 105 patients.

Long-term Follow-up of 254 Ceramic Coated Implant (CCI) Evolution Total Ankle Replacements.

Background: The ceramic coated implant (CCI) Evolution was a third-generation implant design used in approximately 2000 total ankle replacements (TARs) between 2003 and 2016. Because this implant was abandoned, long-term follow-up studies are lacking.

Methods: All patients undergoing TAR using a CCI prosthesis between 2004 and 2012 were included for analysis.

A Child with a Painful Foot: How to Get a Definitive Diagnosis.

This case report describes an 8-year-old healthy boy with a retained wooden foreign body in his 4 metatarsal bone of his right foot. He was presented several months after the initial trauma, stepping into a toothpick, had occurred. He was operated in our hospital, and the wooden toothpick was removed.

Dynamic trial fitting of the cup in press-fit total hip arthroplasty, a feasibility study.

Trial fitting of the cup during total hip arthroplasty (THA) is done by trial cups, which do not resemble the real press-fit obtained by the definitive implant. Our goal is to judge feasibility of the X-pander® in clinical practice ; a device developed to mimic the real press-fit obtained by the definitive cup, to ensure satisfactory press-fit. In this feasibility study 45 experienced orthopaedic surgeons from 7 European countries filled in a structured survey after 78 primary THA and 31 revision surgeries, using the X-pander instead of traditional trial cups.
