Filter by:A bacterial infection of an artificial joint is a serious complication that often requires additional surgery to exchange the arthroplasty. It is also difficult to recognize an infected joint, as the symptoms caused by the infection are very similar to those of other problems with arthroplasties, such as loosening of the implant. To improve the ability to diagnose prosthetic joint infections, this study compares the levels of calprotectin, a specific inflammatory protein, in the joint fluid of infected joints and joints with other complications. The underlying hypothesis is that the level of calprotectin in infected joints is significantly higher, thus facilitating the diagnosis of prosthetic joint infection.
To examine whether removing the infrapatellar fat pad from the knee during total knee arthroplasty affects the patient outcome in terms of pain and knee function following the procedure. Currently there is no consensus on whether removing this tissue from the knee has a positive or detrimental effect. Small studies have been published, some showing improved symptoms and some worse symptoms. Current practice of orthopaedic surgeons is either to routinely remove or routinely retain the tissue when performing total knee arthroplasty.
The objectives are to describe the transition from traditional care to an enhanced recovery program for the management of total knee arthroplasty, and to evaluate the effect on patient outcomes.
Evaluation of noise induced by ceramic-ceramic friction torques of total hip prostheses with customized femoral stem. Retrospective and prospective multicentric study.
The purpose of this study is to determine if kinesiotaping for edema management will decrease post-operative edema in patients with bilateral total knee arthroplasty. The leg receiving kinesiotaping during inpatient rehabilitation may have decreased edema and pain and improved movement and function when compared to the leg not receiving kinesiotape.
The cemented femoral stem have impact on increase on systemic parameters. Evaluation of the level of histamine, C-reactive protein (CRP) and leukocytes formula, IL1b, TNF alpha, IL6 and the reflection of changes of these parameters in the intra-operative course of hip replacement.
The study will evaluate the performance, clinical benefits and safety of the Persona Revision Knee System in patients who have received primary or revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) treatment. This will be done using a multicenter, single-arm, consecutive series, retrospective cohort study with prospective follow-up.
The study , observe the effect of releasing the Tourniquet in total knee replacement surgery before closure in comparison with releasing it after wound closure The effect was assessed by Hb drop post operative and Hematoma formation ( measured by ultrasound ) as well as the wound complication
The purpose of the retrospective cohort study is 1) to determine preoperative risk factors for revision af patellofemoral arthroplasty, and 2) to provide a detailed description of indications for revision after patellofemoral arthroplasty. All patients operated with patellofemoral arthroplasty in Denmark from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2015, will be included in the cohort.
Arthroplasty increases the risk of postoperative urinary retention. Treatment of postoperative urinary retention is indwelling or intermittent catheterization. The need for catheterization is most commonly determined with an ultrasound scanner. Catheterization increases the risk of urinary tract infection, which may further lead to haematogenic infection of the artificial joint. There is no evidence of an optimal way to monitor the onset of spontaneous urination. The aim of the study is to determine whether monitoring the onset of spontaneous urination after fast track knee arthroplasty is safe based on symptoms alone without ultrasound monitoring.
