Insertional Achilles tendinitis with considerable degeneration that failed non-operative treatment typically requires tendon debridement and reattachment to bone. It is common practice for tendons to be reattached back with

Traditional procedures for orthopedic total joint replacements have relied upon bone cement to achieve long-term implant fixation. This remains the gold standard in number of procedures including TKR and PKR. In many cases however, implants fixed with cement have proven susceptible to aseptic loosening and 3. rd. body wear concerns. These issues have led to a shift away from cement fixation and towards devices that rely on the natural osteoconductive properties of bone and the ability of porous-coated implants to initiate on-growth and in-growth at the bone interface, leading to more reliable fixation. To facilitate long-term fixation through osseointegration, several mechanical means have been utilized as supplemental mechanism to aid in stabilizing the prostheses. These methods have included integrated keels and bone screws. The intent of these components is to limit implant movement and provide a stable environment for bone ingrowth to occur. Both methods have demonstrated limitations on safety and performance including bone fracture due keel induced stresses, loosening due to inconsistent pressfit of the keel, screw-thread stripping in cancellous bone, head-stripping, screw fracture, screw loosening, and screw pullout. An alternative method of fixation utilizing blade-based

The behaviour of two different methods of reattachment of the flexor digitorum profundus tendon insertion was assessed. Cyclical testing simulating the first 5 days of a passive mobilisation protocol was used to compare the micro Mitek
Introduction. This study was performed prospectively and randomly to compare clinical outcomes of modified-Brostrom procedure using single and double suture
A 18-year-old woman patient suffering from JCA was operated on non-dominant left shoulder joint destruction. The dysplasia of the affected side was clearly recognisable on the X-ray befor the operation as compared to the other side. The smallest of the prothesis typs (De Puy Global, Biomet Modular) couldn’t be implanted. So we have used an other method. We have achived good results for years by using Tuto-plast‚ Dura mater (Tutogen Medical GmbH) in operating interposition elbow arthtroplasty of RA patients. This was the basic idea in this case to apply shouldes joint interposition arthroplasty. There have been previous publications on other interposition tecniques. Operations technique:. Traditionally we approached the shoulder in deltopectoral sulcus. After the subscapular muscle tenotomy subtotal synovectomy happened, later pannus and osteophyts were removed from the humeral head. Then the surface of the head was refreshened, then arronund the anatomic neck titanium screws ( ORFI-II‚

Introduction: Knotless Suture Anchors provide numerous advantages in arthroscopic rotator-cuff (RC) repair such as, reducing the difficulties of knot tying, reducing surgical exposure, thus decreasing morbidity. The purpose of this in-vitro study was to compare the pull-out strength of three new knotless suture
Arthroscopic stabilisation of the shoulder is a technically-demanding and developing technique, and the reported results have yet to match those for open surgery. We present a consecutive initial series of 55 patients with post-traumatic recurrent anteroinferior instability managed since September 1999 using a titanium knotless suture
