Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the performance of the Atlas IIIp modular acetabular system, a cementless elastic implant used in total hip replacements, focusing on its long-term outcomes and advantages compared to traditional systems.
- The research involved a follow-up of 244 patients over at least ten years, with key findings indicating significant improvement in Harris hip scores and a 91.2% cumulative implant survival rate at 13 years.
- Results show that the Atlas IIIp system has desirable long-term survivorship and low revision rates, positioning it positively against other available acetabular implants.
Background: The safest and most effective method of early cervical spine clearance in unconscious patients is the subject of intense debate. We hypothesize that helical computed tomography (CT) is a sufficiently sensitive investigation to render dynamic screening redundant.
Method: We retrospectively reviewed the records of 839 trauma patients admitted to the intensive care unit under the orthopedic surgeons from April 1994 to September 2004.
