Biomechanical Problems of the Original Judet Prosthesis

The problem of the broken Judet prosthesis.

Comminuted fractures of the radial head treated by the Judet floating radial head prosthesis.

Excision is not a suitable treatment for all comminuted fractures of the radial head. In elbows where instability can be predicted, a replacement arthroplasty of the radial head is more effective. The aim of this paper was to present the medium-term results of the Judet floating radial head prosthesis. This operation was performed on 14 patients between 1992 and 2003, of whom 12 were reviewed a...

Problems of Sensory Prosthesis

This is an age in which a great deal is being done to help the handicapped. There is an improvement in artificial limbs for the maimed, in new sorts of spectacles, and in hearing aids. All this is returning to useful life a considerable part of those who would in other generations have been hopelessly handicapped. Even the two greatest handicaps from which humanity suffers—blindness and deafnes...

Forty-year survival of a Judet hip prosthesis: a case report.

In 1946, the Judet brothers performed their first ‘resectionreconstruction’ of the femoral head (Judet 1947) using a prosthesis made entirely of polymethylmethacrylate (PMM.A). The early implants broke frequently and were later reinforced by a steel rod (Judet and Judet 1950). Failures continued, however, and use of the prosthesis was abandoned decades ago. Case report. In 1952, a 12-year-old g...
