BACKGROUND Reports of diverse outcomes in modular mini-keel tibial componentry for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) have raised concerns about early aseptic loosening. Cruciate-retaining (CR) prostheses, using mini-keel implants, have yet to be reported and compared to posterior-stabilizing (PS) designs. METHODS A retrospective, case-matched study of 91 consecutive TKAs (n = 46 CR; n = 45 PS pro...

In the current era of total hip arthroplasty (THA), orthopedic surgeons have several fixation options at their disposal. The modern monoblock prosthesis, introduced by Dr. Sir John Charnley, has seen many modifications since its inception in the 1970s and continues to be the most commonly used prosthesis style for primary and revision THA. Proximal modular sleeve technology was introduced in 19...

With an increasing number of primary hip replacements being performed every year, the burden of revision hip arthroplasty, for septic and aseptic loosening, recurrent dislocation or periprosthetic fracture, is also increasing. In recent years, different approaches to revising the femoral prosthesis have emerged; including both cemented and cementless techniques. With a stable cement mantle and ...

INTRODUCTION We report a continuous prospective series of patients operated on for total hip prosthesis femoral component loosening involving a bone defect. Reconstruction was performed using a hydroxyapatite-coated locked modular stem. The study's objective was to assess medium term clinical and X-ray results obtained with this original concept. MATERIALS AND METHODS The patients included re...

I dedicate this Thesis to my dear family and to all my friends.

in this paper, we compute the number of fuzzy subgroups of some classes of non-abeilan groups. explicit formulas are givenfor dihedral groups $d_{2n}$, quasi-dihedral groups $qd_{2^n}$, generalized quaternion groups $q_{4n}$ and modular $p$-groups $m_{p^n}$.

in this paper, we prove the hyers-ulam stability in$beta$-homogeneous probabilistic modular spaces via fixed point method for the functional equation[f(x+ky)+f(x-ky)=f(x+y)+f(x-y)+frac{2(k+1)}{k}f(ky)-2(k+1)f(y)]for fixed integers $k$ with $kneq 0,pm1.$

This paper discusses the development of a sequence of undergraduate courses forming the core curriculum in the Robotics Engineering (RBE) B.S. program at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI). The laboratory robotics kit developed for the junior-level courses is presented in detail. The platform is designed to be modular and cost-effective and it is suitable for laboratory based robotics educat...

Distally anchored uncemented modular tapered porous stems are often the preferred treatment in total hip arthroplasty revisions and failed subtrochanteric fractures. These conditions mainly affect elderly osteoporotic patients, with an increased risk of later fractures below the well-fixated implant. Treatment in secondary fractures with long looking plates is the recommended treatment, where s...
