PurposeTotal ankle replacement (TAR) or ankle arthrodesis (AA) is the main surgical treatment for end-stage ankle osteoarthritis. However, the therapeutic effect of the two surgical procedures at different follow-up times remains controversial. The purpose of this meta-analysis is to compare the ...
Total Disc Replacement refers to a surgical technique used to restore spinal segment motion and alleviate pain by replacing a degenerated joint in the spine rather than fusing it, similar to the success seen in knee and hip arthroplasty. This technique aims to maintain stability and protect adjacen...
The alignment of the lower limb was determined using the femorotibial angle (FTA) and hip-knee-ankle (HKA) angle based on the long-standing radiographs from the hip to ankle. The FTA is the angle between the anatomical axes of the femur and tibia. The HKA angle is the angle between ...
Prompted by the success of hip and knee arthroplasty, total ankle replacement (TAR) has become increasingly popular as a treatment for end stage arthritis of the ankle. A 3-grade classification of complications to assist in prediction of early implant failure has been proposed. We have compared ...
United States; however, the same uptrend in the total number of procedures is expected over the coming years. Similarly, increasing numbers of patient are expected to undergo other total joint replacements, including shoulder, elbow, and ankle. A majority of arthroplasties currently performed are ...
allergy testing in patients with known history of metal allergy, emphasize the proper steps in identifying a potential metal sensitivity reaction, and to report in literature the success of primary custom printed total ankle arthroplasty implants manufactured without the use of traditional metal ...
This was inflated after using an Esmarch bandage to exsanguinate the blood, while the knee was in full flexion with the ankle dorsiflexed. In the LIM-TKA group, the tourniquet was inflated only during the cementing phase of TKA, which occurs after all bone cuts are finished, then ...
Total knee replacement, manufac- tured by DePuy, Johnson & Johnson. Anterior-posterior. Concave, a relatively conformed (constrained) tibial insert. Flat, a relatively nonconformed tibial insert. Prosthesis-femur angle on the an- teroposterior view. Varus = <90°. Hip-knee-ankle angle. Varus...

BMI: body mass index; KSS: Knee Society Score; HKA: hip-knee-ankle angle (mechanical axis of the lower limb). 3.2. Radiographic outcomes Table 3 reports the 6-month radiographic outcomes. The intra-observer ICC was 0.88. The two groups showed no differences for the HKA restoration rate (...
