Joint replacement surgery—most commonly performed on hips and knees—has transformed the lives of millions by relieving pain, restoring movement, and improving quality of life. As technology advances, surgeons now have choices in how they fixate the prosthesis to the bone. The two primary techniques are cemented fixation and cementless fixation (also called uncemented fixation). ...
CASE PLANNING The bilateral upper extremity fractures, the pre-existing contralateral lower limb amputation with loss of the prosthesis, and the patient's need for immediate weight bearing on her right lower extremity were all considerations in proceeding with pelvic ring fixation using two CurvaFix IM Implants. Combined fixation of the anterior ...
CASE PRESENTATION A 68-year-old female with some dysmorphism and mild osteoporosis had a fall in the shower, resulting in a Y-shaped sacral fracture and non-displaced fractures of the superior and inferior pubic ...
At present, it has become the metal material of choice for replacement or repair products such as artificial joints, artificial bones, broken bone fixators, spine correction rods, intramedullary nails, artificial heart valves, dental implants, and skulls. ...
Localized treatment responses within the hip may influence the likelihood of fractures initiating or propagating within the affected subregion, and might also have implications for the fixation of orthopedic implants including hip prostheses.(15-17) Cortical and trabecular bone parameters are typically obtained via imaging modalities that rely on 3D quantitative ...
Firm and immediate fixation between pedicle screws and bone prevents aseptic loosening and implant failure. Coating with hydroxyapatite is a possible method to improve the fixation of metallic implants in bone. In this study, scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) has been used to investigate the ultrastructure of the ...
