Background: The goal was to determine if the addition of a metaphyseal stem extension limits micromotion of a cementless tibial component during cyclic loading in primary total knee arthroplasty. The hypothesis tested was that the use of a 50-mm stem extension on a cementless tibial component would limit motion compared with an identical cementless component without a stem extension.
Methods: The study used 3 variations of a tibial component from the same total knee arthroplasty system.
The Kimberley region of Western Australia is one of the largest and most diverse rock art provenances in the world, with a complex stylistic sequence spanning at least 16 ka, culminating in the modern art-making of the Wunumbal people. The Gunu Site Complex, in the remote Mitchell River region of the northwest Kimberley, is one of many local expressions of the Kimberley rock art sequence. Here we report excavations at two sites in this complex: Gunu Rock, a sand sheet adjacent to rock art panels; and Gunu Cave, a floor deposit within an extensive rockshelter.
