Clinical value of SPECT/CT for evaluation of patients with painful knees after total knee arthroplasty- a new dimension of diagnostics?
BACKGROUND The purpose of our study was to evaluate the clinical value of hybrid SPECT/CT for the assessment of patients with painful total knee arthroplasty (TKA). METHODS Twenty-three painful knees in patients following primary TKA were assessed using Tc-99m-HDP-SPECT/CT. Rotational, sagittal and coronal position of the TKA was assessed on 3D-CT reconstructions. The level of the SPECT-trace...

متن کاملAcute Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty for Proximal Tibial Fractures in Elderly
Background: Proximal tibial fractures in elderly patients with osteoporosis or knee osteoarthritis (OA) are challengingcases. In the current study, we present our experience with uncommon acute primary total knee arthroplasty (PTKA)in this patient population.Methods: PTKAs were performed following proximal tibial fractures in 30 consecutive patients over 60 years of agewith osteoporosis or knee...
متن کاملA novel standardized algorithm using SPECT/CT evaluating unhappy patients after unicondylar knee arthroplasty– a combined analysis of tracer uptake distribution and component position
BACKGROUND The introduction of a standardized SPECT/CT algorithm including a localization scheme, which allows accurate identification of specific patterns and thresholds of SPECT/CT tracer uptake, could lead to a better understanding of the bone remodeling and specific failure modes of unicondylar knee arthroplasty (UKA). The purpose of the present study was to introduce a novel standardized S...
متن کاملHow Much Bone Cement Is Utilized for Component Fixation in Primary Cemented Total Knee Arthroplasty?
Background: No scientific evidence exists regarding the amount of bone cement used and discarded in primarycemented Total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The aim of this study was to identify the exact amount of bone cement utilizedfor component fixation in primary TKA.Methods: In a prospective study carried out at five centers, 133 primary cemented TKAs were performed. One packof 40g Palacos bone cem...
