Arthroscopic Complete Synovectomy of the Proximal Interphalangeal Joint of the Finger.

Rheumatoid arthritis is characterized by hypertrophic synovitis destroying the involved joints. If medical treatment fails to control the synovitis, synovectomy is a worthwhile prophylactic procedure that might help to delay further distention of the joint capsule and ligament. Synovitis of the proximal interphalangeal joint is usually performed by an open approach.

The application of close incisional negative pressure wound therapy in revision arthroplasty among asian patients: a comparative study.

Introduction: Peri-prosthetic joint infection (PJI) was one of the main causes of revision of arthroplasty. In order to reduce wound complications and surgical site infections, close incisional negative pressure wound therapy (ciNPWT) has been introduced into arthroplasty. This study was designed to review the clinical benefits of the application of ciNPWT in revision arthroplasty.

Use of a modular hip dual-mobility articulation in patients with high risk of dislocation: a relatively small-sized acetabulum in Asian patients may limit its use.

Background: Dual-mobility hip component is widely used in Europe and North America, because it effectively reduces hip dislocation in primary and revision total hip arthroplasties. However, reports were limited on the use of dual-mobility articulation in Asian populations.

Purpose: The aim of this retrospective study was to review the use of modular dual-mobility hip articulation in Asian patients with the high risk factor for hip dislocation.
