Abstract. Objectives. Young patients receiving metallic bone
There is currently no commercially available and clinically successful treatment for scapholunate interosseous ligament rupture, the latter leading to the development of hand-wrist osteoarthritis. We have created a novel biodegradable

Introduction. Early complication post total knee replacement reported to be higher in obese patient in general. Also the outcome of cruciate retaining and PS knee has been fully discussed before and there was no major difference in the outcomes for all the patients overall regardless of their weight. However, the purpose of this paper is to find out if the CR knee has superiority over PS knee in terms of clinical and functional outcomes and if early complication postTKR such as fracture and instability is more common in PS

Massive irreparable rotator cuff tears often lead to superior migration of the humeral head, which can markedly impair glenohumeral kinematics and function. Although treatments currently exist for treating such pathology, no clear choice exists for the middle-aged patient demographic. Therefore, a metallic subacromial

Background. Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) has long been the standard treatment for cases in which non-surgical alternatives have failed to improve pain and function in hip osteoarthritis (OA) patients. Outcomes from THA have improved over time with better surgical techniques and improved

Background and aim. Implant-associated osteomyelitis is one of the most feared complications following orthopedic surgery. Although the risk is low it is crucial to achieve adequate antibiotic concentrations proximate to the

Numerous papers present in-vivo knee kinematics data following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) from fluoroscopic testing. Comparing data is challenging given the large number of factors that potentially affect the reported kinematics. This paper aims at understanding the effect of following three different factors:
Aim. The treatment of fracture-related infections (FRI) focuses on obtaining fracture healing and eradicating infection to prevent osteomyelitis. Treatment guidelines include removal, exchange, or retention of the

Dual mobility (DM) is an established bearing option in Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA). The traditional mono-block DM designs have limited ability for additional fixation, whereas the modular DM designs allow additional screw fixation but limit internal diameter and have the potential to generate metal debris. We report the early results of a CoCrMo alloy mono-block
