The purpose of this study was to compare the results and complications of tibial lengthening over an intramedullary nail with treatment using the traditional Ilizarov method. In this matched case study, 16 adult patients underwent 19 tibial lengthening over nails (LON) procedures. For the matched case group, 17 patients who underwent 19 Ilizarov tibial lengthenings were retrospectively matched to the LON group.Objectives
Methods
Our study aimed to examine not only the incidence but also the
impact of noise from two types of total hip replacement articulations:
ceramic-on-ceramic and ceramic-on-polyethylene. We performed a case-controlled study comparing subjective and
objective questionnaire scores of patients receiving a ceramic-on-ceramic
or a ceramic-on-polyethylene total hip replacement by a single surgeon.Objectives
