Reduced-dose computed tomography is the most accurate method to measure ceramic hip resurfacing cup version
2020
Background: A precise assessment of cup version after hip resurfacing is generally requested, especially in clinical trials or in case of complications. Aims: To identify which diagnostic imaging modality, between AP pelvis X-rays, the AP Pelvis CT Scout image and reduced-dose axial CT scan, is the most precise to assess cup version of an all-ceramic hip resurfacing implant in a first-in-human clinical trial. Methods: We retrospectively assessed the cup version of the first 20 patients who underwent an experimental all-ceramic hip resurfacing on AP pelvis X-rays (0.8 mSv of radiation), AP pelvis CT scout images (0.016 mSv) and axial CT slices performed using a reduced dose protocol (0.3 mSv…
Venous thromboembolism in patients hospitalized for knee and hip joint replacement surgery
2020
Abstract Background Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a frequent acute cardiovascular disease, leading to significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Major trauma, surgery, immobilisation and joint replacements are major provoking factors for VTE. In particular, patients undergoing knee and hip joint replacement surgery are at high risk of developing VTE perioperatively, even in the era of established pharmacological thromboprophylaxis. Without thromboprophylaxis, as many as 20–60% of patients may develop perioperative VTE. Purpose As recent studies indicate an increasing number of total knee and hip replacement surgeries in European countries and the United States, aims of our study were …
Komplikationen der Redon-drainage each hüftgelenksersatzoperationen — eine analyse der ursachen
1989
Die Redon-Drainage hat die Operationsresultate entscheidend verbessert. Jedoch sind einige Komplikationen durch das Hochvakuum-System nicht zu verhindern, sie sind vielmehr sogar dadurch bedingt. Redon-Flaschen als Einwegprodukte entsprechen haufig nicht den gestellten Anforderungen. Es handelt sich nur um ein zeitweise “geschlossenes” System mit hohem Infektionsrisiko bei Flaschenwechsel. Nach Entwicklung einer vom Legen bis zum Ziehen der Drains stets geschlossenen Drainage wurden in einer prospektiven Studie nach Huftgelenksersatzoperationen verschiedene systembedingte Faktoren analysiert. Verglichen wurden die Redon-Hochvakuum-Drainage sowie ein kontinuierlich ansteigender Unterdruck bi…
