This study investigates the clinical and radiological results of a tapered femoral stem (Corail®) uncemented threaded acetabular cups (Tropic®) in addition an analysis complications retrieved implants was conducted. Between January 1990 September 1998, 301 total hips arthroplasties 268 patients were implanted. 78 (87 hips) had died 9 (12 been lost to follow-up, leaving at time latest follow-up ...

BACKGROUND Thousands of babies are born with congenital heart defects that require surgical repair involving a prosthetic implant. Lack of growth in prosthetic grafts is especially detrimental in pediatric surgery. Cell seeded biodegradable tissue engineered grafts are a novel solution to this problem. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the feasibility of seeding human induced plur...

We report the results of imaging with labelled white cells in 52 patients before the revision of 54 cemented joint prostheses at which the diagnosis of infection was made from biopsies. Twenty-five hips were imaged with 111In-oxine-labelled cells; 20 hips and 11 knees were imaged with 99mTc-hexamethylpropylene-amineoxime-labelled cells. Of these, 13 hips and five knees proved to be infected. Th...

There is a need for a noninvasive technique to monitor living pluripotent stem cell condition without any labeling. We present an optical imaging technique that is able to capture information about optical path difference through the cell and cell adhesion properties simultaneously using a combination of quantitative phase microscopy (QPM) and interference reflection microscopy (IRM) techniques...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of symptomatic femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) in athletic patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS From July 2003 to May 2013, 388 patients (422 hips) who underwent arthroscopic surgery for FAI were evaluated demographic characteristics. The patients' age, gender, diagnosis, and type of sports were analyzed using medical records and...

BACKGROUND The purpose of the present study was to determine whether T cell-mediated type IV hypersensitivity reactions could be a major cause of adverse reaction to metal debris (ARMD) after metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasty (THA). METHODS Thirteen patients (1 man and 12 women; mean age 68 years, age range 60 to 83 years) with ARMD underwent revision surgery following metal-on-metal THA ...

In fifty-six patients with ankylosing spondylitis three types of arthroplasty had been performed in ninety-nine hips. Forty-one of the patients were men and fifteen were women, their average age at operation being forty-two years. Primary pseudarthrosis produced well-satisfied patients, but only a fair result in five hips, whereas cup arthroplasty resulted in a poor outcome for eight hips, all ...
