  2. 6. Wear and Loosening in Cemented Hip Arthroplasty

    Author : Uldis Kesteris; Lund Ortopedi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ortopedi; Kirurgi; traumatology; orthopaedics; Surgery; traumatologi;

    Abstract : The mechanisms of loosening in total hip arthroplasty (THA) and the role of polyethylene (PE) wear debris in this process is unclear. Radiographic measurements showed that THA with 32 mm heads have about 3 times greater volumetric wear than those with 22 mm heads. READ MORE

  4. 7. Mechanisms of mechanically induced Osteoclastogenesis : in a novel in vitro model for bone implant loosening

    Author : Cornelia Bratengeier; Anna Fahlgren; Per Aspenberg; Mikael Sigvardsson; Oran Kennedy; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Total joint arthroplasty is the primary intervention in the treatment of end-stage osteoarthritis. Despite the high success rate, in some patients, the replacement will fail during their lifetime requiring a revision of the implant. These revisions are strenuous for the patient and costly for health care. READ MORE

  5. 8. Acetabular Revisions. Risk Factors and Prediction of Re-revision

    Author : Maziar Mohaddes; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Osteoarthritis; Hip; Register studies; Radiostereometry; Acetabular revision; Trabecular metal;

    Abstract : Hip replacement is a successful intervention when treating patients with hip osteoarthritis. Approximately 10% of all patients undergoing primary hip replacement surgery require further surgical interventions (revisions) during their lifetime. Acetabular component (cup) failure is the most common reason for a revision. READ MORE

  6. 9. Coagulase-negative staphylococci in prosthetic hip infections

    Author : Åsa Nilsdotter-Augustinsson; Arne Tärnvik; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : More than 11,000 primary total hip replacements were performed in Sweden in the year 2000, corresponding to 125 primary total hip replacements per 100,000 inhabitants, according to The Swedish Total Hip Replacement Register. In general, this procedure provides highly satisfactory results. READ MORE

  7. 10. Hip Revision Surgery : Identification of Genetic Markers and Evaluation of Novel Treatment Strategies

    Author : Anders Brüggemann; Nils Hailer; Hans Mallmin; Karl Michaëlsson; Olle Nilsson; Per Wretenberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is, despite its overall good outcome, for some patients followed by hip revision surgery. This seems in parts to be because of genetic susceptibility to revision surgery. The most common reason for revision surgery is aseptic loosening followed by periprosthetic joint infection and dislocation. READ MORE
