0 | Eighty Percent Survival of Resurfacing Implants in the Knee After 10 Years: A Nationwide Cohort Study on 379 Procedures from the Danish Knee Arthroplasty Registry | AMP (Acute Meniscal Pathology) | Objective: Focal cartilage injuries are debilitating and difficult to treat. Biological cartilage repair procedures are used for patients younger than 40 years, and knee arthroplasties are generally reserved for patients older than 60 years. Resurfacing implants are well suited for patients in this treatment gap. The o... |
0 | Modern proximally tapered uncemented stems can be safely used in dorr type c femoral bone | PJI DX Updated Search | Cementless femoral fixation has become widely accepted in modern total hip arthroplasty. Treating patients who have a stovepipe-shaped femur (Dorr type C) with cementless implants has traditionally been challenging. We treated 53 consecutive patients (60 hips) who had type C bone with identical tapered, proximally coat... |
0 | Prognostic factors for surgical outcomes including preoperative total knee replacement and knee osteoarthritis status in female patients with lumbar spinal stenosis | PJI DX Updated Search | Study Design: A retrospective clinical case series. Objective: To investigate knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and total knee replacement (TKR) status as prognostic factors for surgical outcomes in female patients with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS).

1 | Bone and muscle mass after femoral neck fracture. A controlled quantitative computed tomography study of osteosynthesis versus primary total hip arthroplasty | Hip Fx in the Elderly 2019 | The cortical bone mineral density (BMD), bone volume, bone mass and muscle volume of the thigh, and the BMD of the distal femur and proximal tibia were measured quantified by quantitative computed tomography (QCT) after an operation for a displaced femoral neck fracture. Twenty patients were randomized to osteosynthesi... |
1 | Opportunities for i.v. to oral switch in the management of infections: the role of quinolones | Prevention of Orthopaedic Implant Infection in Patients Undergoing Dental Procedures | Quinolones are an important group of drugs for the oral treatment of severe infections. We have shown that in patients with bacteremia the serum levels of fleroxacin are high enough to treat Gram-negative infections with one single oral dose per day. Thus for severe, quinolone-sensitive infections, such as bacteremic p... |
