Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to compare midterm outcomes of fixed versus mobile ultra-congruent bearings in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using a matched-pairs case-control method with at least 5-year follow-up.
- - A total of 182 patients with fixed bearings (Group 1) and 101 with mobile bearings (Group 2) were analyzed, ultimately enrolling 73 cases from each group after matching.
- - Results showed high survival rates for both groups (around 97.9%) with no significant difference in clinical scores, suggesting that the fixed-bearing UC prosthesis performs well and may be a viable option in navigation-assisted TKA.
Blood monocytes are recruited to injured tissue sites and differentiate into macrophages, which protect against pathogens and repair damaged tissues. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are known to be an important contributor to monocytes' differentiation and macrophages' function. NF-E2-related factor 2 (NRF2), a transcription factor regulating cellular redox homeostasis, is known to be a critical modulator of inflammatory responses.
