Unless arthritis related research such as cartilage regeneration effectively delay and/or avoid the need for THR, or important breakthroughs substantially increase the lifespan of hip prosthesis and/or the material for prosthetic fixation, the demands for primary THR and the subsequent revision hip replacements will continue to grow.
Materials for these prosthetic components were chosen based on the technologies and materials available at the institution.
The multifunctional composite provides a promising material for the prosthetic and bone tissue regeneration.
Our results demonstrate that this dual nanobiosystem is very efficient also for inhibiting biofilm formation, being a good candidate for the design of novel material surfaces used for prosthetic devices.
Such molecules may be useful for gene transfection, as ligands for binding immunoglobulins, as adjuvants for antigens, as inhibitors of fibrin clot formation, as activators of fibrin clot lysis, but also as anti-adhesive biological coatings for prosthetic materials.
Prolonged exposure of the patient to the exhaust of the warming blanket could potentially mobilize their resident skin organisms into the theatre atmosphere, and thence into the surgical field, possibly increasing the risk for prosthetic material infection.
In conclusion, the new simulator proved to be a valid wear test device for prosthetic knee materials.
Despite many clinical studies, there is still uncertainty as to whether venous material is superior to prosthetic materials for femoropopliteal reconstruction proximal to the knee joint.
To assess the efficacy, safety and functional outcome of infracoccygeal sacropexy reinforced with posterior mesh interposition performed alone or in combination with the implantation of other prosthetic materials for prolapse repair.
Lanthanum glass frits suitable for infiltration in pre-sintered alumina were developed in order to obtain innovative alumina glass composites, which are promising materials for all-ceramic dental prosthetic restorations, such as single crowns and fixed partial dentures.
