[Reliability of digital measurement of acetabular index in hip dysplasia to the time children start walking.]
AIM: An assessment of the reproducibility of the acetabular index on the basis of anteroposterior radiographs of the pelvis was performed in order to rule out residual dysplasia of the hip in the second year of life. […]
[The small-fragment double plate osteosynthesis in c1 to c3 fractures of the tibial pilon.]
Intra-articular fractures of the tibial pilon always have been a challenge for the surgeon and his operative technique. With conservative or operative management, we have to take care of destroyed articular surfaces and traumatised soft tissues. Therefore, tibial pilon […]
[2D-Fluoroscopic Navigated Screw Osteosynthesis of Acetabular Fractures: A Preliminary Report.]
INTRODUCTION: The current gold standard for operatively treated acetabular fractures is open reduction and internal fixation. In this study we report the early results of percutaneous screw osteosynthesis of acetabular fractures in 14 cases, using a computer navigation system to reduce screw misplacement, […]
[Parkinson\’s disease influences the perioperative risk profile in trauma patients.]
AIM: Parkinson\’s disease (PD) is one of the most common degenerative diseases of the central nervous system affecting elderly patients with increasing demographic prevalence. The aim of this study was to define the perioperative risk profile in trauma patients suffering from Parkinson\’s disease […]
[Clinical Results after Replacement of Comminuted Radial Head Fractures (Mason III and IV) by the Bipolar Radial Head Prosthesis of Judet.]
AIM: Long-term results after resection of comminuted fractures of the radial head (Mason III and IV) may lead to valgus elbow instability, radius proximalisation and rotatory instability. Radial head replacement has been […]
[Reconstruction of the rotational centre of the humeral head depending on the prosthetic design.]
AIM: The displacement of the rotation centre of the humeral head in relation to the axis of the shaft varies strongly between individuals. The Affinis shoulder endoprosthesis has a double excentric adjustment possibility that permits us to adapt the […]
[Shoulder resurfacing in patients with rotator cuff arthropathy and remaining subscapularis function.]
INTRODUCTION: Glenohumeral arthritis with a massive rotator cuff tear is a devastating condition that seriously compromises the comfort and function of the shoulder. Cuff tear arthropathy presents a unique surgical challenge and many arthroplasty options were used for its treatment. The […]
[Influence of the Surgical Approach on Postoperative Rehabilitation after TKA.]
BACKGROUND: Minimising the soft tissue trauma and early rehabilitation are among the major aims using the MIS technique in joint replacement. AIM: The aim of this prospective randomised study is to compare the results after TKA using an MIS approach versus a standard […]
[Radiological Mid-term Results of Total Knee Arthroplasty with Femoral Components of Different Materials.]
AIM: The present work aimed at evaluating the radiological mid-term results of femoral components of different materials in an identically designed total knee system. METHOD: 31 knees with zirconium femoral components and 32 standard femoral components were evaluated about 4 […]
[Screw-in Performance of Threaded Cups.]
INTRODUCTION: For threaded cups, cup diameter, the shape of the threads and the shape of the cup have a major influence on the screw-in performance. The designs of standard implants vary greatly, making it difficult to carry out comparative studies to provide clear-cut results on the effect of […]
