The course and location of the sciatic nerve were investigated in relation to different approaches for THA with the help of anatomical landmarks like the greater trochanter (GT), the iliac tubercle, the ischial
Our data first of all demonstrated better attachment of hBM-MSCs to the surface of the bone paste compared to the particular bone graft. The greater attachment could be due to the partial demineralization and heating of the bone paste, which modifies the surface of the graft and hence also th...
The individuals were divided into four groups by levels of physical activity, from low to high: inactive patients due to hip pain; and low, medium and high physical activity groups of healthy subjects (HS) based on hours of exercise per week. We estimated the GMAX intramuscular fat content ...
The purpose of this study was to compare knee biomechanics of the replaced limb to the non-replaced limb of total knee replacement (TKR) patients and healthy controls during walking on level ground and on decline surfaces of 5°, 10°, and 15°. Methods Twenty-five TKR patients and 10 hea...
Both studies developed models to predict days in hospital for a general population based on health insurance claims. In our previous work [5], we utilized bagged decision tree classifier models to predict the total number of days spent in hospital in the subsequent calendar year for individuals ...

Participants will be aged over 18 years, able to provide informed consent and recruited from our outpatients. Patients who are having revision surgery or have indications for hip replacement other than osteoarthritis (i.e., fracture, malignancy, development dysplasia) will be excluded from the trial...
(e.g. hernia repair, laparoscopic cholecystectomy, laparoscopic appendicectomy, thyroidectomy, total shoulder, hip or knee replacement) [70,71]. Even some acute medical situations (e.g. pneumonia) can be stabilised during a short inpatient stay, after which the patient is sent home to continue...
Anchor and distribution methods have identified the MCID as ranging from 3.25–20.40 for hip and knee replacement [19] and 7.1 for rheumatoid arthritis [20]. However, extrapolating findings from other clinical populations is inappropriate [18, 19]. We are not aware of any studies that have ...
Human osteoblasts (hOB) were isolated from femoral heads of two osteoarthritic patients undergoing total hip replacement at the University Hospital Carl Gustav Carus Dresden (Germany)30. The hOB were expanded in alpha-MEM (Minimal Essential Medium, alpha-Modification; Gibco, Life Technologies) ...
