Objectives: With a novel, noninvasive method for determining three-dimensional accuracy, the realized implant position relative to the planned implant position was analyzed retrospectively. Additional postoperative cone beam computed tomography was thus dispensable.
Study Design: Twelve cases with distal extension situations (DESs) or single tooth gaps (STGs) were evaluated. The data sets of the planned implant position were superimposed on the actually achieved implant position, retrieved from digitizing the implant impression. The deviations were measured and statistically analyzed.
Results: The mean deviation was 5° in the DES group and 4° in the STG group for the implant axes, 1 mm (DES) and 0.9 mm (STG) at the implant neck, and 1.6 mm (DES) and 1.5 mm (STG) at the implant apex. The mean height discrepancy was 0.5 mm (DES) and 0.5 mm (STG). No significant differences (P > .05) were found between the DES and STG groups.
Conclusions: The innovative, noninvasive evaluation method is suitable and sufficiently accurate for the assessment of larger cohorts. The results of our study showed a sufficiently high degree of accuracy when using a virtual planning program for which no radiopaque template is needed when performing cone beam computed tomography.

Post mortem cadaveric and imaging mapping analysis of the influence of cochlear implants on cMRI assessment regarding implant positioning and artifact formation.
Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol
December 2024

Objectives: In times of an aging society and considering the escalating health economic costs, the indications for imaging, particularly magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), must be carefully considered and strictly adhered to. This cadaver study aims to examine the influence of cochlear implant (CI) on the assessment of intracranial structures, artifact formation, and size in cranial MRI (cMRI). Furthermore, it seeks to evaluate the potential limitations in the interpretability and diagnostic value of cMRI in CI patients.

Purpose: To evaluate the outcomes of scleral-fixated intraocular lenses (IOLs) implanted using either Yamane technique or Gore-Tex suture fixation, in comparison to intracapsular lens fixation, and to assess the efficacy of various lens formulas in achieving predicted refractive targets.
Patients And Methods: This study included 45 eyes from 44 patients with scleral-fixated IOLs, comprising 37 Yamane eyes and 8 Gore-Tex eyes. Preoperative refractive predictions from various formulae were compared with final postoperative refraction.

Objective: We present long-term results for the Pyrocardan®, a pyrocarbon trapeziometacarpal interposition implant used for the treatment of osteoarthritis of the thumb.
Methods: Between March 2009 and May 2013, 199 arthroplasties were performed in a single hand center, in 184 patients by 6 hand surgeons. 107 implants were followed up for a mean 137 months (range, 120 to 168 months).

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurring seizures that can cause a wide range of symptoms. Stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG) is a diagnostic procedure where multiple electrodes are stereotactically implanted within predefined brain regions to identify the seizure onset zone, which needs to be surgically removed or disconnected to achieve remission of focal epilepsy. This procedure is complex and challenging due to two main reasons.

Introduction: Salvage arthroplasty for failed proximal femoral fracture fixation is a complex procedure. This involves the removal of the primary failed or broken implant followed by a hip joint replacement procedure. The complications and technical difficulties associated with these surgeries are often difficult to anticipate.
