Trends in the treatment of infected knee arthroplasty.

Essential treatment methods for infected knee arthroplasty involve DAIR (debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention), and one and two-stage exchange arthroplasty.Aggressive debridement with the removal of all avascular tissues and foreign materials that contain biofilm is mandatory for all surgical treatment modalities.DAIR is a viable option with an acceptable success rate and can be used as a first surgical procedure for patients who have a well-fixed, functioning prosthesis without a sinus tract for acute-early or late-hematogenous acute infections with no more than four weeks (most favourable being < seven days) of symptoms.

Long-term results of cementless total hip arthroplasty for the treatment of ankylosed hip.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to report the long-term results of total hip arthroplasty (THA) for the treatment of ankylosed hip.

Methods: Twenty-nine consecutive THAs were performed in 26 patients. The mean age of the patients at the time of the operation was 43.

Intraoperative neuromonitoring of anterior root muscle response during hip surgery under spinal anesthesia.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the anterior root muscle (ARM) response monitorability during total hip arthroplasty (THA) under spinal anesthesia. A total of 20 adults (64.6 ± 13.

Dual offset metaphyseal-filling stems in primary total hip arthroplasty in dysplastic hips after a minimum follow-up of ten years.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the long-term performance of tapered one-third proximally coated stems in dysplastic hips.

Methods: This study included 135 dysplasia patients (150 hips) who underwent a total hip arthroplasty and had a minimum follow-up of ten years. Single design tapered stems were used in all patients.
