Survivorship and complications of cementless compared to cemented posterior-stabilized total knee arthroplasties: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Purpose: Controversy exists on the best fixation for total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Non-cemented fixation has been theorized to improve patient outcomes and longevity of implantation but no study has focused on comparison between cemented or cementless posterior-stabilized implants despite being the most commonly or second most frequently utilized implant in most total knee replacement registries.

Methods: Inclusion criteria with observational and interventional papers, and review articles that focused on patients with cementless and cemented PS TKAs were used to analyze outcomes such as implant survivorship, complication, or revision rates.

Bone conductivity and spine fluoroscopy, Hand-Eye-Ear dialogue, during pedicle screw positioning: a new human cognitive system for precision and radiation-decrease; better than artificial intelligence and machine learning system?

Purpose: There is an increasing need for pedicle screw positioning while decreasing radiation exposure. This study compares intra-operative radiation dose using posterior internal fixation using impedancemetry-guided pedicle positioning by the Pediguard system versus standard free-hand sighting when surgery was performed with a trainee or expert surgeon.

Material And Methods: Using the electrical properties of bone, the Pediguard detects iatrogenic penetration of the pedicle wall and gives auditory feedback to the surgeon.

Hip fractures re-operation compared with death at two year in elderly patients: lowest risk of revision with dual mobility total hip arthroplasty than with bipolar hemiarthroplasty or internal fixation of Garden I and II.

Purpose: This study determined at two year follow-up the lifetime risk of re-operation for elderly patients with hip fractures undergoing internal fixation, dual mobility total hip arthroplasty, or bipolar hemiarthroplasty, using death of the patient as a competing risk.

Materials And Methods: With the hypothesis that arthroplasties may have less complications without increasing mortality even for Garden I and Garden II fractures, we retrospectively reviewed 317 hips with femoral neck fractures operated between January 2015 and August 2019. The mean age at time of surgical intervention was 82.

Personalized Hip Joint Replacement with Large Diameter Head: Current Concepts.

Hip arthroplasty is a common procedure in elective orthopaedic surgery that has excellent outcomes. Hip replacement surgery aims to create a "forgotten" joint, i.e.

Liner dissociation in a large-diameter ceramic-bearing acetabular component: a report of five cases.

Background: Ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) bearings for total hip arthroplasty (THA) have been offering very favorable results and survivorship since their introduction. In order to increase range of movement (ROM) and decrease dislocation rates, some manufacturers have introduced larger diameter head (LDH) CoC bearings. This has been achieved with the use of preassembled cup designs, in which the ceramic liner is already fitted into the metal backing and implanted as a monoblock component by the surgeon.
