Between December 2002 and December 2007, we retrospectively assessed the mid term results of the Nexgen rotating hinge prosthesis in the hands of a single surgeon in difficult primary and complex revision situations. Forty four patients (46 knees) were included in the study: they were followed for an average of 62 months. Knee Society knee score improved from a preoperative mean value of 47 to a mean value of 81 at follow-up (p < 0.05) whereas the mean function score improved from 17 (0-40) to 67.5 (0-90) at follow-up (p < 001). Mean flexion range improved from 65 degrees to 96 degrees at follow-up (p < 0.05). In conclusion, rotating hinge knees gave satisfactory results in difficult revision situations associated with major bone loss, instability or periprosthetic fracture. They also provided satisfactory results in selected cases of advanced primary osteoarthritis.

Introduction: As the number of revision total knee arthroplasties (rTKA) continues to rise, there is increasing interest in the use of contemporary rotating hinge prostheses. These devices often incorporate porous cones to fill bone defects and enhance long-term fixation. This study evaluated the clinical and functional outcomes and survivorship in rTKA patients utilizing a rotating hinge prosthesis with flexible titanium (FT) cones, porous tantalum (PT) cones, or no cones.

For allowable defect analyses, the fracture toughness of materials needs to be accurately predicted. In this regard, a lower fluctuation of fracture toughness can lead to reduction in safety and economic risks. Crack tip opening displacement (CTOD), which is the representative parameter for fracture toughness, can be measured by various methods, such as the δ5, the J-conversion method, the single clip gauge method, and the double clip gauge method.

The human ankle joint complex, consisting of calcaneus, talus, and tibia, is often simplified as a single functional ankle joint, neglecting the motion of the talus. Understanding the individual contributions of the talus and calcaneus is crucial for comprehending ankle joint complex function in healthy populations, and alterations in function that may exist in clinical conditions. To achieve accurate bone kinematics, high-resolution biplanar videoradiography was used with participants engaged in walking and running (n = 9) and hopping (n = 9) with no overlap in participants.

Aerial insects are exceptionally agile and precise owing to their small size and fast neuromotor control. They perform impressive acrobatic maneuvers when evading predators, recovering from wind gust, or landing on moving objects. Flapping-wing propulsion is advantageous for flight agility because it can generate large changes in instantaneous forces and torques.
