A retrospective clinical and roentgenographic review was performed on 69 consecutive cementless total hip arthroplasties that had been in situ for an average of 64.4 months (range, 57-91 months). Four patients had bilateral operations. There were 23 men and 42 women. The Lord Madreporic prosthesis (Bacneux, France) was used in 49 cases, and the Link prosthesis (Waldemar Link, Hamburg, Germany) was used in 20 cases. Preoperative diagnoses were osteoarthritis (76.8%), rheumatoid arthritis (17.4%), and miscellaneous (5.8%). At the final follow-up examination, the median hip score, assessed according to a modification of the Mayo scoring system, was 86.7 points. Seventy-eight percent of the cases had a good result, 11% were fair, and 4.7% were poor. The overall revision rate was 6.3%. No significant correlation existed between the roentgenographic and clinical findings. Subsidence of the femoral component is not a definitive hallmark of loosening in the midrange interval, that is, between 2 and 5 years. The cementless hip arthroplasty is suitable for patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

Objective: To demonstrate the clinical and radiographic results of revision knee arthroplasty using a modular system manufactured in Brazil.

Methods: Between November 2010 and January 2017, 31 revision knee arthroplasties were performed in 30 patients, using the MB-V system. Patients were assessed clinically and radiographically after a minimum follow-up of two years using the following scores: Knee Society Score (KSS), Knee Society Score ‒ Function (KSS ‒ Function), and Knee Society Roentgenographic Evaluation System (KSRES).

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess clinical and functional outcomes as well as the prosthesis survival rates of the U2 Knee system in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with a minimum follow-up of four years.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 560 consecutively primary TKA performed between 2015 and 2019 due to osteoarthritis with a mean follow-up of 5.4 ± 1.

Introduction: Aseptic total knee arthroplasty (TKA) failure has been associated with radiolucent lines. This study aimed to determine the impact of the early appearance of radiolucent lines (linear images of 1, 2, or > 2mm at the cement-bone interface) around the TKA on prosthetic survival and functional outcomes in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients during a 2-20 years follow-up.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed a consecutive series of RA patients treated with TKA between 2000 and 2011.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) causes significant physical disability. We comprehensively investigated the relationship between RA disease activity (Disease Activity Score 28-C-reactive protein [DAS28-CRP], Simplified Disease Activity Index [SDAI], and Clinical Disease Activity Index [CDAI]), physical function (10-Meter Walk Test [10 MWT], Timed Up and Go test [TUG], Functional Reach Test [FRT], and Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand [DASH]), and quality of life (QOL) (Short-Form 36 [SF-36®]). We also investigated the relationship between van der Heijde's modified Total Sharp Score (mTSS), modified Health Assessment Questionnaire (mHAQ), and physical function and QOL assessments.

Objective: In this retrospective study, we compared the functionality and clinical outcomes of patients with severe varus knees who underwent total knee arthroplasty (TKA) that used prostheses with either a posterior stabilized (PS) design or an ultra-congruent (UC) design.

Patients And Methods: Primary TKA was performed in 161 patients; the UC device was used in 82 (51%) cases and the PS device in 79 (49%). Preoperatively and at the final follow-up examination, all patients were evaluated by orthoroentgenography.
