Certain prosthesis retaining strategies may be used such as arthroscopic debridement [ 8], open debridement with removal of the polyethylene spacer [ 9] and surgical debridement, antibiotics and implant retention (DAIR) [ 10].
It appears that the revision pattern (cup and/or stem revision) is constant for a certain prosthesis type and that the less favorable approach aggravates this pattern slightly for some types of prostheses, but not all of them, as one might have expected.
In the details of the study results, MAHs appeared to struggle to capture AEs characterized as unknown event, device infection, and certain types of prostheses such as prosthetic vascular graft or stent graft.
70 Most published studies have failed to demonstrate that prosthetic rehabilitation alone improves the nutritional status of the elderly or modifies their dietary habits, 70, 71 although positive results were reported in some types of patients with certain types of prostheses.
To date, the Australian registry has had the largest number of registered hip resurfacings, and a recent analysis of 12,093 HRAs with up to 8 years of follow-up has revealed an increased risk of revision with increasing age, with smaller femoral head size, with a primary diagnosis of developmental dysplasia, and for certain designs of prosthesis.
Analyzing knee kinematics of posterior stabilized knee prosthesis with various post-cam designs should provide certain instructions to the modification of prosthesis design.
The surgeon asks the SN for a prosthesis of a certain size.
Although a suboptimal position of the prosthesis was associated with increased initial migration, this did not influence subsequent stabilization of the prosthesis and a certain degree of suboptimal positioning appears to be tolerated.
There are many implant cases in which dental technicians take initiative with regard to the design of implant prostheses, and to a certain extent, this area of care is one in which dentists do not necessarily play the leading role.
