Cementless Hydroxyapatite Coated Hip Prostheses
More than twenty years ago, hydroxyapatite (HA), calcium phosphate ceramics, was introduced as a coating for cementless hip prostheses. The choice of this ceramic is due to its composition being similar to organic apatite bone crystals. This ceramic is biocompatible, bioactive, and osteoconductive. These qualities facilitate the primary stability and osseointegration of implants. Our surgical e...

Data correlating neuraxial anaesthesia and the development of meningitis or epidural abscess in this setting are limited. METHODS Retrospective chart review was performed on 710 medical records of patients admitted between 1998 and 2009 for removal of potentially infected total hi...
متن کامل2-stage revision of 120 deep infected hip and knee prostheses using gentamicin-PMMA beads

However, there is no consensus about the optimal interval between the 2 stages. Patients and methods - We retrospectively studied 120 deep infections of total hip (n = 95) and knee (n = 25) prostheses that had occurred over a period of 25 yea...
