Factors associated with non-walking 4 months after hip fracture. A prospective study of 23,759 fractures.

Introduction: Despite advances in new surgical techniques and improvements in medical care of the last decades a considerable number of patients will not regain their ability to walk after a hip fracture.

Aims: To further identify risk factors associated with non-walking 4-months after a hip fracture.

Material And Methods: Register-based, longitudinal study with a 4-month follow-up.

Good subjective outcome and low risk of revision surgery with a novel customized metal implant for focal femoral chondral lesions at a follow-up after a minimum of 5 years.

Background And Purpose: Patients with focal cartilage lesions experience functional impairment. Results for biological treatments in the middle-aged patient is poor. Previous studies with focal prosthetic inlay resurfacing have shown a higher risk of conversion to total knee replacement at mid-term follow-up.

Successful Treatment of Femoral Chondral Lesions with a Novel Customized Metal Implant at Midterm Follow-Up.

Background: Full-depth cartilage lesions do not heal spontaneously and may progress to osteoarthritis (OA). Treatment for these lesions is warranted when symptomatic. At younger age, biological treatment remains the gold standard, but treatment in the middle-aged patient remains a clinical challenge and focal metal implants have been proposed.

Younger age is associated with increased odds of manipulation under anesthesia for joint stiffness after total knee arthroplasty.

Introduction: Limited range of motion (ROM) after total knee replacement (TKR) is associated with low function and might require manipulation under anaesthesia (MUA). In order to identify factors associated with a limited ROM we investigated predictors for MUA. We hypothesized that older age was associated with higher MUA due to limited ROM post TKR.

No implant migration and good subjective outcome of a novel customized femoral resurfacing metal implant for focal chondral lesions.

Purpose: Managing focal cartilage injuries in the middle-aged patient poses a challenge. Focal prosthetic inlay resurfacing has been proposed to be a bridge between biologics and conventional joint arthroplasty. Patient selection and accurate implant positioning is crucial to avoid increased contact pressure to the opposite cartilage surface.
