Objectives: The purpose of the present prospective case series was to investigate the clinical and radiological outcome of one-piece zirconia implants fabricated from 3Y-TZP with a moderately roughened endosseous surface (Sa = 1.24 μm) to support three-unit fixed dental prostheses (FDP) after five years in function.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-seven patients received a total of 54 implants in a one-stage surgery with immediate provisionalization.

This study illustrates the utility of a mixed-methods approach in assessing the value of an example novel technology-biosensor-integrated self-reporting arteriovenous grafts (smart AVGs). Currently in preclinical development, the device will detect arteriovenous graft stenosis (surveillance-only use case) and treat stenosis (interventional use case). The approach to value assessment adopted in this study was multifaceted, with one stage informing the next and comprised a stakeholder engagement with clinical experts to explore the device's clinical value, a cost-utility analysis (CUA) from a US Medicare perspective to estimate pricing headroom, and an investment model estimating risk-adjusted net present value analysis (rNPVs) to determine commercial viability.

Background: There are few reports about the one-stage surgery of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) + mitral valve transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) around the world. TAVR + M-TEER surgery is usually performed under the simultaneous guidance of digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and echocardiography. There is no report of TAVR surgery assisted only by echocardiography all over the world.

Background: Complicated wrist amputation caused by severe trauma poses a real challenge for orthopedic and hand surgeons. This study aimed to evaluate a procedure of ulnoradial-metacarpal reconstruction as a rescue option in this challenging situation.
Methods: In total, 12 patients with complicated wrist amputation induced by serious injury were selected from 2015 to 2020 and followed up for 1∼6 years at a level 1 trauma center.

Background: Patients who have had prior injections, surgeries such as arthroscopies, and have existing osteosynthetic implants in the hip and knee have an increased risk of periprosthetic infections when undergoing hip (THA) or total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
Osteosynthesis: For patients with osteosynthetic implants in the knee joint, a two-stage procedure (implant removal followed by TKA) is recommended based on the available literature and the high colonization rates. A two-stage procedure is also recommended for patients with hip implants.
