Session 21: Technologic Developments in TKA
نویسنده
چکیده
Over the past decade, investigators in orthopaedic biomechanics at the Massachusetts General Hospital have contributed extensively to the development of the highly crosslinked ultra-high molecular weight polyethylenes (UHMWPEs). These highly crosslinked polyethylenes exhibit significant improvement in wear performance when compared with the conventional polyethylenes when studied in vitro in hip simulators. These efforts have led to several new forms of highly crosslinked polyethylenes, which are currently in clinical use.

Reproductive endocrinology, a relatively new subspecialty of obstetrics and Gynecology, came of age during the 1980s. The discipline has benefited greatly from substantial recent advances in reproductive biology and allied fields and technologic improvements in computers, ultrasonography, and surgical instrumentation. All of these developments have been applied to clinical practice at an unprec...
متن کاملAnteroposterior Translation Does Not Correlate With Knee Flexion After Total Knee Arthroplasty
BACKGROUND Stiffness after a TKA can cause patient dissatisfaction and diminished function, therefore it is important to characterize predictors of ROM after TKA. Studies of AP translation in conscious individuals disagree whether AP translation affects maximum knee flexion angle after implantation of a highly congruent sphere and trough geometry PCL-substituting prosthesis in a TKA. QUESTION...
متن کاملConditions of Use, Reliability, and Quality of Audio/Video-Mediated Communications During In-Home Rehabilitation Teletreatment for Postknee Arthroplasty.
BACKGROUND Audio/video-mediated communication between patients and clinicians using videoconferencing over telecommunication networks is a key component of providing teletreatments in rehabilitation. OBJECTIVE The objectives of this study were to (1) document the conditions of use, performance, and reliability of videoconferencing-based communication in the context of in-home teletreatment (T...
