Medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (OW-HTO) is an excellent surgical option for patients with varus knee osteoarthritis. This article presents a technique of performing a minimally invasive OW-HTO using a patient-specific cutting guide (PSCG). Preoperative 3-dimensional planning with computed...
Additionally, most participants walked with forearm crutches, with or without the use of the self-controller that allows the user to drive few basic functions of the robotic exoskeleton (e.g., initiation of the first step, continuous walking in ‘prostep’ mode, and stops), by the end of ...
(p> 0.05). This study demonstrates that reducing length of stay from three to one night after total knee or hip arthroplasty, with the help of a digital follow-up tool, results in a stable rate of complications, readmission, and comparable clinical outcomes, while reducing the socio-economic...
The patient did not use any crutches, canes, or walkers during HWA training. The patient also underwent conventional rehabilitation, including ROM exercises, stretching, muscle training of the hip joint, balance exercises, and ADL exercises (changing clothes, using the toilet, bathing, and so on)...
