The purpose of this study was to examine the efficacy and safety of carbazochrome sodium sulfonate (CSS) combined with tranexamic acid (TXA) on blood loss and inflammatory responses after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA), and to investigate the influence of different administration methods of CSS on perioperative blood loss during THA. This study is a randomized controlled trial involving 200 patients undergoing primary unilateral THA. A total of 200 patients treated with intravenous TXA were randomly assigned to group A (combined intravenous and topical CSS), group B (topical CSS), group C (intravenous CSS), or group D (placebo).Aims
Methods
The accuracy and precision of two new methods of model-based
radiostereometric analysis (RSA) were hypothesised to be superior
to a plain radiograph method in the assessment of polyethylene (PE)
wear. A phantom device was constructed to simulate three-dimensional
(3D) PE wear. Images were obtained consecutively for each simulated
wear position for each modality. Three commercially available packages
were evaluated: model-based RSA using laser-scanned cup models (MB-RSA),
model-based RSA using computer-generated elementary geometrical
shape models (EGS-RSA), and PolyWare. Precision (95% repeatability
limits) and accuracy (Root Mean Square Errors) for two-dimensional
(2D) and 3D wear measurements were assessed.Objectives
