چکیده

A study is reported on the value of a modified KBM prosthesis compared with other types of prostheses. Recently a new type of below-knee prosthesis (the so called modified KBM prosthesis) was introduced in the Netherlands. This prosthesis is now frequently used as a substitute for more conventional types. A study was carried out on the value of this new prosthesis, compared with the more conventional types, by means of a questionnaire sent to a group of patients who formerly used a more conventional type of prosthesis.

Clinical significance of additional lateral imaging in diagnosis of prosthesis infection by combined Tc-99m labeled leukocyte/bone marrow scintigraphy

Introduction: Recently the most accurate diagnostic method in the diagnosis of prosthesis infection is the combination of Tc-99m labeled leukocyte/bone marrow imaging. However the diagnostic efficiency of the test is influenced because of its low spatial resolution. Recently SPECT/CT imaging is implicated in this test with efficient additional diagnostic improvement. In the dep...
