Survivorship of the KUDO total elbow prosthesis--comparative study of cemented and uncemented ulnar components: 89 cases followed for an average of 6 years.

Survivorship of the KUDO total elbow prosthesis— comparative study of cemented and uncemented ulnar components

Comparison of two types of ulnar component in type-5 Kudo total elbow arthroplasty in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: a long-term follow-up.

The purpose of this study was to assess the long-term results (more than ten years) of two types of cemented ulnar component with type-5 Kudo total elbow arthroplasty in a consecutive series of 56 patients (60 elbows) with rheumatoid arthritis, and to compare the results in elbows above and below a Larsen grade IV. There was no radiolucency around the humeral component. Patients in whom a metal...

Improvements in survival of the uncemented Nottingham Total Shoulder prosthesis: a prospective comparative study

BACKGROUND The uncemented Nottingham Total Shoulder Replacement prosthesis system (Nottingham TSR) was developed from the previous BioModular shoulder prosthesis taking into consideration the causes of the initial implant's failure. We investigated the impact of changes in the design of Nottingham TSR prosthesis on its survivorship rate. METHODS Survivorship analyses of three types of uncemen...

Results with Kudo elbow prostheses in non-traumatic indications : a study of 36 cases.

With a mean follow-up of 62 months, we reviewed 13 Kudo type 4 and 23 Kudo type 5 elbow prostheses implanted for non-traumatic indications in 30 patients. Clinical results were assessed with the Mayo Clinic Performance Index (MCPI) taking into account pain, mobility, stability and daily activities. Postoperatively, pain disappeared or decreased, ulnar nerve dysfunction was improved and the func...
