1 | Efficacy of periarticular multimodal drug injection in total knee arthroplasty. A randomized trial | Surgical Management of Osteoarthritis of the Knee CPG | BACKGROUND: Postoperative analgesia with the use of parenteral opioids or epidural analgesia can be associated with troublesome side effects. Good perioperative analgesia facilitates rehabilitation, improves patient satisfaction, and may reduce the hospital stay. We investigated the analgesic effect of locally injected... |
0 | Treatment of periprosthetic femoral fractures by effective lengthening of the prosthesis | Management of Hip Fractures in the Elderly | The increasing number of hip and knee arthroplasties implies a greater likelihood of periprosthetic fractures and need for successful treatment options. We asked whether in situ effective lengthening of the indwelling prosthesis by a custom-made slotted hollow intramedullary nail provided a reasonable alternative to th... |
