PATIENTS A total of 151 patients (33 men and 118 women) who underwent hip arthroplasty surgery and from whom femoral head allografts were retrieved between January 1994 and March 2000; and 81 patients in whom allogr...
متن کاملSeparation and Special Laws on Reducing Transmission of Contamination
پیشگیری از عفونت نیازمند اقدامات توام پرستاری و پزشکی است. بیمارانی که با چندین میکروب (ارگانیسم) بیماریزای مقاوم عفونی شده اند و یا از بیماریهای مسری رنج می برند به مراقبت های خاصی نیاز داشته و در هنگام مراقبت از این بیماران جهت کاهش انتقال عفونت، بکار گرفتن قوانین مربوط به جداسازی ضرورت خواهد داشت. لیکن جداسازی مشکلاتی را برای بیمار، خانواده اش و مراقبین بوجود می آورد. همانگونه که گیل هود متذ...
متن کاملMicrowave sterilization of femoral head allograft.
The potential shortage of allograft bone has led to the need to investigate other sources of bone for allografts. Some allograft bone donated from primary total hip arthroplasty recipients must be discarded or treated to become usable as a result of bacterial contamination. Femoral head allografts were contaminated with Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis. A domestic microwave oven was ...
متن کاملHistopathology of retrieved allografts of the femoral head.
From November 1994 to March 1997, we harvested 137 grafts of the femoral head from 125 patients for donation during total hip arthroplasty according to the guidelines of the American Associations of Tissue Banks (AATB) and the European Association of Musculo-Skeletal transplantation (EAMST). In addition to the standards recommended by these authorities, we performed histopathological examinatio...
متن کاملRisk of disease transmission with bone allograft.
Why is the risk of disease transmission with bone allograft an important topic? Approximately 1 million bone allografts are implanted every year in the United States. Although safety measures to prevent disease transmission have improved significantly over the past 2 decades, infectious complications remain a relevant concern. During informed consent, patients invariably take pause at the prosp...
