Innovations and advances in material engineering surface play a key role developing modern, safe, durable, biocompatible implants. The bibliometric analysis had been conducted to understand the active authors, organizations, journals, countries involved research domain of “hip-implants”. All published articles related “hip- implants” from “Scopus”, were Journal Bone Joint Surgery Arthroplasty. ...

Background: The hip joint is the largest joint after the knee, which gives stability to the whole human structure. The hip joint consists of a femoral head which articulates with the acetabulum. Due to age and wear between the joints, these joints need to be replaced with implants which can function just as a natural joint. Since the early 19th century, the hip joint arthroplasty has evolved, a...

In this research work, neural networks were applied to classify two types of hip joint implants based on the relative hip joint implant side speed and three components of each ground reaction force. The condition of walking gait at normal velocity was used and carried out with each of the two hip joint implants assessed. Ground reaction forces’ kinetic temporal changes were considered in the fi...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Metaphyseal anchored short-stem hip implants were designed to improve load transmission and preserve femoral bone stock. Until now, only few outcome data have been available and migration studies are one of the few ways of obtaining data that are predictive of implant survival. We therefore evaluated a metaphyseal anchored short-stem hip implant by Ein Bild Roentgen Analy...

Uncemented hip replacement matches the best results of classic cemented replacements. With the aim of preserving bone and soft tissue, implants with shorter stems and proximal metaphyseal support have been developed. Likewise, the lack of distal load should avoid cortical diaphyseal remodelling phenomena and the thigh pain of some cylindrical and wedge implants. The resurfacing implant, very po...

The authors present their experience with total hip replacement in patients with ankylosing spondylitis. In the period of 1985-1997 they performed in total 66 total hip replacements in 41 patients. Of the total number of the used implants 24 were fully cemented (the average follow-up - 13 years), 3 were hybrid and 39 cementless (the average follow-up - 6 years). The results of total hip replace...

Dynamic hip screw and gamma nail have been widely used to treat the patients with proximal femoral fractures, but clinical failures of those implants are still to be found. This study developed three-dimensional finite element models to investigate the biomechanical performances of the implants. Two kinds of commercially available implants (dynamic hip screw and gamma nail) and one newly design...

BACKGROUND C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) have been shown to be useful for diagnosis of prosthetic hip and knee infection. Little information is available on CRP and ESR in patients undergoing revision or resection of shoulder arthroplasties or spine implants. METHODS/RESULTS We analyzed preoperative CRP and ESR in 636 subjects who underwent knee (n=297), hi...

BACKGROUND The bone loss associated with revision surgery or pathology has been the impetus for developing modular revision total hip prostheses. Few studies have assessed these modular implants quantitatively from a mechanical standpoint. METHODS Three-dimensional finite element (FE) models were developed to mimic a hip implant alone (Construct A) and a hip implant-femur configuration (Const...

OBJECTIVE To assess the failure rate of cemented, uncemented, hybrid, and reverse hybrid total hip replacements in patients aged 55 years or older. DESIGN Register study. SETTING Nordic Arthroplasty Register Association database (combined data from Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland). PARTICIPANTS 347,899 total hip replacements performed during 1995-2011. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Probabi...
