Co-production is expected to lead to more efficient and effective services. In response, this study aims to describe and understand the construction of effectiveness and the manifestation of customer orientation among the actors involved in the service process of lifestyle guidance. A qualitative narrative study was designed, and data were collected through the thematic interviews (n = 9) with the management, employees and customers of a Finnish public healthcare and social welfare organisation.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the medium-term functional and radiological outcome and implant survival of the CCI Evolution implant. Consecutive series of 40 ankles operated in our hospital with primary TAR using the CCI Evolution implant in 2010-2013 were available for follow-up.

Methods: One hundred and twenty-one consecutive patients qualifying for primary TAA were enrolled in the study. All patients received the TM Ankle implant.
Background: Peri-implant osteolysis is one of the major complications related to total ankle replacement. The aim of this study was to investigate the short- to midterm incidence of peri-implant osteolysis using computed tomography (CT) as imaging method for the Trabecular Metal Total Ankle (TMTA) implant representing a novel total ankle replacement (TAR) implant design regarding material and surgical technique.
Methods: In total, 104 consecutive patients who had a primary TMTA replacement between March 2013 and October 2017 were included in the study.
Background: The range of motion (ROM) in reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA), is mechanically limited by the surrounding bony obstacles especially in abduction and rotation planes. However, the clinical effect of implant positioning, prosthesis design, and individual differences in bone morphology, on ROM is obscure. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between radiographic geometry and clinical glenohumeral (GH) ROM after RSA.
