Article Synopsis
- prosthetic joint infections (PJI) are difficult to treat and can arise after joint replacements, necessitating better treatment approaches and relevant animal models for research.
- The study developed a surgical protocol for hip hemiarthroplasty in Göttingen minipigs and conducted careful post-surgery evaluations, identifying challenges such as the risk of joint dislocation.
- The findings established the minipig model as a suitable option for future experiments on PJIs, showing that one pig developed a PJI linked to immune cell issues at the bone-prosthesis interface.
Aims: The aim of this study was to perform a systematic review and bias evaluation of the current literature to create an overview of risk factors for re-revision following revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA).
Methods: A systematic search of MEDLINE and Embase was completed in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The studies were required to include a population of index rTKAs.
Research Question: Are serum progesterone concentrations on the day of modified natural cycle (mNC) frozen blastocyst transfer (FET) without luteal phase support (LPS) associated with clinical pregnancy rate (CPR)?
Design: Data were collected between January 2019 and October 2022 as a sub-study of an ongoing randomized controlled trial assessing pregnancy outcomes in mNC-FET. The sub-study included all women (n = 209) randomized to mNC-FET without LPS at the time of data extraction. Participants were aged 18-41 years, had regular menstrual cycles and underwent mNC-FET treatment with single-blastocyst transfer.
Background And Purpose: Soft tissue defects after total knee arthroplasties (TKA) represent a major orthopedic challenge with amputation as a feared outcome. Microvascular free flap coverage (FFC) can increase limb salvage rates, but complications related to the procedure are yet to be explored further. We aimed to review a single-center experience with FFC for soft tissue defects related to revision total knee arthroplasty.
