Developing a model describing voluntary residency attrition: a qualitative study.

Background: Many factors influencing residency attrition are identified in the literature, but what role these factors play and how they influence each other remains unclear. Understanding more about the interaction between these factors can provide background to put the available evidence into perspective and provide tools to reduce attrition. The aim of this study was therefore to develop a model that describes voluntary residency attrition.

[Complaints after total joint arthroplasty: caused by infection or metal hypersensitivity?].

Besides periprosthetic joint infection, metal hypersensitivity should be considered when complaints persist after total joint arthroplasty. To date, there is no consensus on the diagnosis, and believers and non-believers of metal hypersensitivity exist. The pathogenesis of metal hypersensitivity is complex and involves a type-4 delayed hypersensitivity reaction with both a cutaneous and systemic response.

MRI signal intensity of anterior cruciate ligament graft after transtibial versus anteromedial portal technique (TRANSIG): A randomised controlled clinical trial.

Background: Two primary surgical femoral drilling techniques are used to reconstruct the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL): the transtibial (TT) technique and the anteromedial portal (AMP) technique. Currently there is no consensus on which surgical technique elicits the best clinical and functional outcomes. MRI-derived measures of the signal intensity (SI) of the ACL graft have been described as an independent predictor of graft properties.

Dislocation after Posterior Stabilized Primary Total Knee Replacement: A Rare Complication in Four Cases.

Introduction: Dislocation of a total knee arthroplasty is a rare complication that has rarely been described, while the total knee arthroplasty is frequently performed. From literature, we know patient-related factors, like obesity, neuropsychiatric disease, and severe valgus or varus deformity, are associated with higher risk of dislocation. We show our cases for awareness of the risk factors for surgeons.
