Hypothesis: Implantation of a primary cementless stem as first-line implant in 1-stage septic THAR provides results as good as those from a stem cemented with antibiotics in terms of infection resolution.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively examined 35 patients operated on for septic THAR with Avenir® cementless stem placement - between 2008 and 2018 at Besançon University Hospital - with a minimum follow-up of 2 years to define healing in the absence of infectious recurrence.
Objective: Beyond the exacerbation of pain in describing a flare in osteoarthritis (OA), patients and health professionals add other elements that deserve to be fully elucidated, such as effusion, swelling, and mobility limitation. To define and conceptualize the construct in OA, the objective was to identify the key variables, or symptoms, that worsen, and to clarify how these variables are described in the literature by patients and clinicians.
Methods: A systematic review of the literature was conducted in Medline and PsychINFO.
