The infected knee arthroplasty
The Swedish Knee Arthroplasty Register (SKAR) was used to identify 478 cases that underwent a first-time revision with exchange or removal of the prosthesis due to infection during the years 1986–2000. 30% of the infections were diagnosed within 3 months from primary operation and two-thirds were …

Ergonomics of Total Knee Arthroplasty
Introduction Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) imposes significant musculoskeletal demands. Robotic platforms may alter this load, but their ergonomic impact is unclear. We compared biomechanical strain and workload during conventional versus robotic-assisted TKA. Methods Two surgeons and two scrub …

Pyrocarbon proximal interphalangeal joint arthroplasty
… surgical treatment often becomes necessary. Arthroplasty is one of the surgical options available.

Kinematic Demands of Nucleus Arthroplasty Technology
… of immediate interest is that of nucleus arthroplasty (NA). Novel materials are being developed to better match the nonlinear biomechanical properties of the native tissue. The effects of changing the motion segment unit (MSU) properties via surgery (nucleotomy) or placement of a nucleus …

Kneeling function following total knee arthroplasty
… The inability to kneel following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is frequently a source of disappointment. This work investigates patients’ understanding of the term ‘kneeling’ and what proportion of patients can kneel before and after TKA, as well as identifying the factors that can affect the …

A new metacarpophalangeal joint replacement arthroplasty
The metacarpophalangeal joint is vital for hand function. It is frequently affected by rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis and in some cases the diseased joint is replaced with an implant. The past and current metacarpophalangeal joint replacements can be divided into three main categories: …

Radiological features of femoroacetabular impingement in patients undergoing hip resurfacing arthroplasty and total hip arthroplasty for osteoarthritis of the hip
… which in its later stages often requires arthroplasty surgery. The principle operations performed for late stage osteoarthritis are the Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR) and Total Hip replacement (THR), which require implants that have been through decades of development. Debate still …

Issues affecting complications after knee or hip arthroplasty
… intervention in societal terms (hip and knee arthroplasty). By tackling these pre-arthroplasty issues, this thesis aims to reduce the burden of arthroplasty surgery and cut down on episode-of-care costs associated with such surgical care. Chapter 2’s systematic review and meta-analysis …

Biomechanical Testing of Two-Level Cervical Disc Arthroplasty
… studies comparing two-level cervical disc arthroplasty with two-level fusion were completed using an established cadaveric cervical spine model. Three conditions were tested: non-instrumented, instrumented with two-level fusion (C5-C6 and C6-C7), and instrumented with two-level arthroplasty …

Patient-Specific Musculoskeletal Modeling of Total Shoulder Arthroplasty
<p>Total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) is often considered a surgery of last resort for patients with debilitating pathologies of the glenohumeral joint such as osteoarthritis, humeral head fracture, and advancing rotator cuff tears. TSA replaces the articulation between the humeral head and the …

Patient Perceptions of Functional Abilities after Total Knee Arthroplasty
… their functional abilities prior to Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) were similar to their actual post-operative functional abilities at 4 to 6 weeks post-TKA if they attended an educational joint replacement class prior to surgery.</p> <p><strong>Design</strong>: One group, pre-test/post-test.</p> …

Finite Element Modeling of Patient-Specific Total Shoulder Arthroplasty
<p>Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (TSA) is a surgical procedure designed to improve joint functionality by replacing the articulation between the humeral head and the glenoid fossa. Anatomic Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (aTSA) and Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (rTSA) are two types of replacement …

The Soft Tissues in Osteoarthritis and Arthroplasty of the Hip
Ultrasonography as a tool measuring the anterior capsular distance in THA was so far not described nor validated. Comparing the measurements of the capsular distance set with a caliper/ruler with those performed with ultrasonography on a THA model demonstrated a high correlation between …
