Subvastus Approach Supporting Fast-Track Total Knee Arthroplasty Over the Medial Parapatellar Approach: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis.

Background: Numerous surgical approaches are being used to perform total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This systematic review and network meta-analysis aimed to compare surgical approaches used in TKA regarding postoperative outcomesat different time points.

Methods: We performed a literature search from medical database inception until October 2, 2021.

[Hungarian adaptation of the Caregiver Priorities and Child Health Index of Life with Disabilities questionnaire].

Introduction: Caregiver Priorities and Child Health Index of Life with Disabilities (CPCHILD) questionnaire is a measurement tool for assessing health status and wellbeing of disabled children, which evaluates children's quality of life from the caregiver point of view.

Objective: The aim of our work was the Hungarian translation and cultural adaptation of the questionnaire and also validation of the CPCHILD on Hungarian cerebral palsy patients. Further aim was to test the eligibility of the questionnaire for superficial assessment of caregiver's psychological attitudes.

[One-stage bilateral hip arthroplasty].

Introduction: The unilateral total hip arthroplasty is a routine surgical intervention, but in the mean time in several institutions over the world, they perform also bilateral total hip arthroplasty as a one-stage surgery, with different indications. Objective: The aim of this study is to present through our cases and through the international literature the indication criteria, the absolute and relative contraindications, and the potential difficulties of one-stage bilateral hip arthroplasty, showing also the real state of this intervention in our healthcare and financial situation. Method: In this publication, we review - in relation to our five cases - the possibilities of bilateral total hip arthroplasty, their indications and differences compared to the unilateral intervention, and also its financial background.

[Effect of the surgical exposure on the early postoperative period after total knee arthroplasty].

Introduction: Total knee arthroplasty has become one of the most successful and safest surgical procedures in orthopedic surgery. Of the many different types of surgical exposure, the most common, so-called medial parapatellar (MP) incision is the cut of the quadriceps tendon, which impairs extensor function. In contrast, subvastus (S) exposure, which spares the extensor apparatus, may promise better healing.

[Prevalence of blood transfusion after primary total hip arthroplasty].

Total hip arthroplasty is one of the most common surgical procedures that requires blood transfusion, with the possible risk of significant complications. A retrospective study was performed to analyze the predictors of blood transfusion after primary total hip arthroplasty. We collected the data of 210 consecutive patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty.

[The role of multimodal postoperative analgesia after primary hip arthroplasty].

Due to the increasing number of arthroplasties, the number of post-operative hospital days was reduced and the rate of rehabilitation accelerated. For this, proper postoperative analgesia is essential and the multimodal pain relief is an excellent tool. The aim of our study was to compare postoperative functional results, postoperative pain levels, and opioid analgesic needs of patients who received conventional and novel analgesic treatments.

[Biomechanical and functional comparison of kayaking by abled-disabled athletes].

During kayaking, the whole body works in a perfect harmony. While the trunk is doing a rotation, flexion-extension helps to the upper limb to create a special cyclic paddle. The purpose of this study was to gain a better understanding of the physical disabled (later disabled) person's kayaking motions and to probe whether there were any significant differences between disabled and non-disabled kayakers with special focus on the use of footrest.

[Periprosthetic joint infection caused by Rhodococcus equi. Case report].

Rhodococcus equi is a rare pathogen in humans causing infections mostly in immunocompromised hosts. We present the first case of periprosthetic joint infection caused by Rhodococcus equi. An 88-year-old male patient was referred to our clinic with a history of fever and right hip pain.

[Is suction drainage necessary in elective total hip arthroplasty?].

Introduction: Several studies have been published which questioned the use of suction drain during elective hip arthroplasty.

Aim: In this prospective study the authors examined how the use of suction drainage affected complications related to perioperative blood loss and hemorrhage in patients undergoing elective hip arthroplasty.

Method: Eighty-six patients undergoing elective hip arthroplasty were divided into two groups.

The effect of knee arthroplasty on balancing ability in response to sudden unidirectional perturbation in the early postoperative period.

Introduction And Objective: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) affects 1-3% of the entire population. The effectiveness of surgery and rehabilitation are of great significance. The goal of this study was to determine how different surgical methods (i.

Variability of gait parameters in patients with total knee arthroplasty.

Purpose: Gait analysis has provided important information about the variability of gait for patients prior to and after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The objective of this research was to clarify how the different surgical techniques influence gait variability.

Methods: Gait analysis was performed at 0.

Gait analysis following TKA: comparison of conventional technique, computer-assisted navigation and minimally invasive technique combined with computer-assisted navigation.

Purpose: there are questions concerning the influence of computer-assisted surgery and the minimal invasive surgical technique on the outcome of total knee arthroplasty. The authors followed up the rehabilitation of patients during the first postoperative year.

Methods: the ZEBRIS gait analysis system was used to obtain numerical data of kinetic and kinematic gait parameters.

Experiences with computer navigated total knee arthroplasty.

The successful outcome of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is very much dependent on precise positioning of the components. Inaccuracy may result in complaints as well as in early mechanical failure. Between March 2003 and September 2005, 69 TKA procedures were performed by the computer navigated technique.

The influence of walking speed on gait parameters in healthy people and in patients with osteoarthritis.

It is difficult to identify objective parameters for assessing the joint function when evaluating the outcome of orthopaedic procedures, especially endoprosthetic replacement. Spatial and temporal parameters of gait have clinical relevance in the assessment of motor pathologies, particularly in orthopaedics. However, the influence of gait speed on these biomechanical parameters has been difficult to be taken into consideration so far.
