Hip fractures are common, especially in older adults, and require timely medical and surgical intervention. These injuries can significantly impact a patient’s mobility, quality of life, and overall health. Hip fractures are a medical emergency, and delayed treatment can lead to severe consequences. Elderly patients are particularly vulnerable to complications from prolonged immobility, ...
This is particularly true when it takes effect on an individual’s hips or knees, joints that are essential for basic mobility. 2017 data published in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases by Saeid Safiri, PhD, of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, and his colleagues, shows a consistent and significant rise in hip and knee osteoarthritis cases, with total cases exceeding ...
In fact, they can even be used for literal one-off production runs, for example in additive manufacturing (3D printing).Plastics are already being used to create one-off, customized medical products such as prosthetics (e.g. joint replacements). These are much lighter than the traditional versions and are much less likely to irritate the body. ...
As a high-volume orthopaedic surgeon focusing on joint replacement surgery, some would say that a high volume surgeon does not need technology or navigation. ...
Are you considering hip replacement surgery? If you’re experiencing any signs that you might need a hip replacement, here are a few potential benefits of hip replacement surgery that you might want to discuss with your doctor. ...
Progenza™ addresses the current gap in the knee OA market for a treatment that is more effective than Paracetamol or opioids and less invasive than joint replacement or surgery. This kind of technology is not currently available on the market, and with the strong IP protection we have built around our science, coupled with our licence and commercialisation ...
Many orthopedic surgeons maintain an accepted practice, whilst some specialize in one particular thing of orthopedics, such as hand surgery, joint replacements, or disorders of the spine. Orthopedics treats each acute and chronic disorders. ...
Fortunately these days it can be fixed with surgery and nine months of physiotherapy, but I took some comfort in the fact that Sensor Technology has contributed - modestly - to the medical knowledge of this crucial joint. With the pending Olympics fuelling increased participation in sport, military personnel returning from active service with knee problems and the wear on tear ...
For the autonomically-healed cement, (KIC) was not significantly influenced by the size of the individual crystals of the Grubbs' catalyst (mean diameter, DG), but the estimated polymerisation rate of the curing cement at 37°C, increased significantly with decrease in DG.Keywords: polymethylmethacrylate, PMMA bone cement, joint replacement, autonomic healing, ...
One of the primary reasons for joint replacement failure is fracture of the bone cement mantle. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of improving the dispersion of montmorillonite nanoclay in acrylic bone cement (by using coating technology) on the mechanical properties of the cured nanocomposite bone cement. Statistically significant ...
The principal mode of loosening of joint replacements is bone cement mantle failure, which is made worse with formation of microcracks under mechanical load. ...
