Midterm outcomes of patellofemoral arthroplasty.

Background: The purpose of this study is the evaluation of the patellofemoral arthroplasty (PFA) survival and clinical and radiological outcomes in our institution.

Methods: A retrospective evaluation of our institution patellofemoral arthroplasty cases from 2006 to 2018 was performed; the n sample after applying exclusion and inclusion criteria was 21. All patients excepting one were female with a median age of 63 (20-78).

Mid-term outcomes of mobile-bearing lateral unicompartmental knee arthroplasty.

Background: This research was undertaken to evaluate Oxford Domed Lateral unicompartmental knee replacement (UKR) survival and clinical and radiological outcomes. The study also considered the influence of body mass index (BMI) on results and proposed contralateral healthy knee anatomic femorotibial angle (AFTA) as a predictor of postoperative knee alignment.

Methods: A retrospective evaluation of 41 primary Oxford Domed Lateral UKR performed in 41 patients in the same institution was undertaken on a patient group comprising of 10 men and 31 women with a mean age of 63 years (range: 38-81 years).

Effects of electrical stimulation in the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to examine whether the use of an internal electrostimulator could improve the results obtained with core decompression alone in the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head.

Methods: We performed a retrospective study of 41 patients (55 hips) treated for osteonecrosis of the femoral head between 2005 and 2014. Mean follow-up time was 56 (12-108) months.

Mid-term results in total hip arthroplasty with the basic noncemented hip prosthesis.

The Basic (IQL-Biomet, Valencia, Spain) hip prosthesis was used in 430 implant procedures, of which 417 had mean follow-up of 6 years. Radiographic follow-up was performed at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively, and annually thereafter. The average Harris hip score improved from 35.
