Systematic Review of Hearing Preservation After Radiotherapy for Vestibular Schwannoma.

Objective: To determine the long-term hearing preservation rate for spontaneous vestibular schwannoma treated by primary radiotherapy.

Data Sources: The MEDLINE/PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Reviews, and EMBASE databases were searched using a comprehensive Boolean keyword search developed in conjunction with a scientific librarian. English language papers published from 2000 to 2016 were evaluated.

Fixation and wear with a contemporary acetabular component and cross-linked polyethylene at minimum 10-year follow-up.

Unlabelled: Long term total hip arthroplasty follow-up has demonstrated bearing surface wear and failure of fixation as the major modes of failure. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the minimum 10year results of a third generation cementless acetabular component using moderately cross-linked polyethylene liners. 150 primary THAs were evaluated clinically for need for revision and activity evaluated using accelerometers, WOMAC, Tegner and UCLA activity-level scores.
