Filter by:A significant number of patients experience postoperative cognitive changes following total joint arthroplasty. Among other causes, the mental status change may be the result of fat and bone marrow debris embolization. We hypothesized that the use of computer assisted total knee arthroplasty, which does not utilize intramedullary alignment rods, would produce less fat and bone marrow debris embolization and, hence, fewer mental status changes.
The study to determine the if the incidence of Fat Embolism is decreased using Computer Assisted technology when performing a Total Knee Arthroplasty.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect on the incidence of fat emboli when using a Reamer-Irrigator Aspirator during reamed IM nail fixation of femoral shaft fractures
