Tibiotalar arthrodesis: development of a novel jig and alignment guide
Tibiotalar arthrodesis is a surgical procedure, used for the treatment of end-stage ankle arthrosis and instability. There are dozens of described procedures in the literature, all with varying rates of success. Two of the most common reasons for reoperation in tibiotalar arthrodesis are nonunion …

THE EFFECT OF INTRAWOUND VANCOMYCIN POWDER ON SURGICAL SITE INFECTIONS IN POSTERIOR INSTRUMENTED SPINAL ARTHRODESES
… 2011 who underwent posterior instrumented spinal arthrodesis and received intrawound vancomycin powder prior to closure and compared their acute, deep infection rate to 371 consecutive patients from Oct. 2008 to Apr. 2005 who underwent posterior spinal instrumented arthrodesis and did not receive …

Osteonecrosis: Cape wine as an aetiological agent
… of major weight-bearing joints requiring arthrodesis or arthroplasty. A decade ago it was hoped that joint replacement would solve most of these problems, however, failure of such arthroplasties have often been associated with catastrophic consequences (Chandler 1979).

In vitro comparison of a new stand-alone anterior lumbar interbody cage device with established fixation techniques
… on the lumbar spine to relieve the pain. Spinal arthrodesis, i.e. joint fusion, is beneficial in many cases as the final option for patients suffering from certain types of low back pain (LBP). In order to promote solid fusion across a decompressed spinal segment, interbody spacers/cages are used …

Simulated Automobile and Rotary-Wing Aircraft Impacts: Dynamic Neck Response after Surgical Treatment for Cervical Spondylosis
… surgical treatment for cervical degeneration is arthrodesis achieved through anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). A relatively newer treatment is arthroplasty with a cervical total disc replacement (CTDR), a motion-sparing procedure designed to maintain adjacent-level loading. While …

Long-term outcome of children with cerebral palsy undergoing selective dorsal rhizotomy
… five years after SDR were analyzed. Subtalar arthrodesis, achilles and adductor tendon lengthening were the most frequent operations, 42% of the children had undergone orthopaedic surgery. In Paper III the longitudinal construct validity (LCV) of different GMFM scores was studied. Large Effect …

The infected knee arthroplasty
… with poorer functional alternatives, i.e. arthrodesis, extraction of the implant, or above-the-knee amputation. After a two-stage revision arthroplasty, only half of those with failure to eradicate infection were re-revised, the cumulative re-revision rate at 2 years being 9.4% and the …

Drug eluting prosthetic joints through drug cluster morphology control
… of 2.5 %, and end-stage treatments involving arthrodesis and amputation. Most drug eluting polymers that were in development to address this problem failed due to toxic degradation products, insufficient drug release, and insufficient mechanical strength. The gold standard of treatment uses …

Biomechanics of the canine thoracolumbar spine in lateral bending
… between two adjacent vertebrae subsequent to arthrodesis or ankylosis appears, clinically, to be well tolerated without significant alterations to the functions of the spine; however, a decrease in spinal column stability as a result of pathologic changes or surgical alterations can result in …

Use of Compliant Interbody Force Sensing Grafts to Compare Load Sharing Properties of Unidirectional and Bidirectional Multilevel Dynamic Translational Anterior Cervical Plates
… rare complication following anterior cervical arthrodesis, and is felt to be related to stress shielding. To address this, dynamic anterior cervical plates have emerged to maintain load sharing as an arthodesis matures. Dynamic plates can translate bidirectionally (allow translation in …

Opioid Use after Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion: A Comparison between Open and Minimally Invasive Surgery
Background: Opioids are medications frequently used in patients with moderate and severe chronic pain. Their pharmacologic profile allows their use in acute severe postoperative pain. However, due to their highly addictive profile, opioid misuse is considered a public health issue. Vertebral spine …

Die Arthrodese an den Sprunggelenken
Die Arthrodese ist eine Gelenkversteifung. Hauptindikationsstellung für eine Arthrodese ist ein therapierefraktärer Schmerz. Patienten, die eine Fraktur mit Gelenkbeteiligung erleiden, haben ein hohes Risiko, im Verlauf eine posttraumatische Arthrose zu entwickeln. Das Risiko steigt proportional …

Effect of Fixation Using Locked Compression Plate versus Lag Screws on Biomechanics of Talonavicular Joint: A Human Cadaveric Foot Model
<p><strong>Introduction: </strong>Talonavicular fusion is a surgery used for treating many hind foot pathologies. A problem associated with the procedure is non-union which may be due to inadequate stabilization. The objective of our study was to compare the effect of two surgical fixation …
