We examined the influence of fixation method on revision rate and mortality.
Finally, separate analyses were performed for evaluation of the prosthetic fixation method on revision rate.
Objectives: Traditional methods of revision stapedoplasty for incus necrosis include an ossicular replacement prosthesis bypassing the incus, augmentation of the eroded incus using a specially designed prosthesis, incus repair with ionomeric cement, etc.
In particular, I resisted one of his favorite methods of revision: filling-in specific information like actual street names and times of day "like on a bureaucratic form".
To describe a surgical method of bleb revision for hypotony maculopathy, to evaluate its long-term efficacy, and to define the relationship between the duration of hypotony maculopathy and visual acuity (VA) outcomes.
In a study from the Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry, Gillam et al. (2010) found that the Kaplan-Meier method overestimated the risk of revision compared to a method called the cumulative incidence function.
The ideal method of fixation in revision TKR remains controversial.
Cemented fixation was the method of choice in revision surgery until the mid-1980s (Pulido et al. 2011).
The KM and CIF estimates in Figure 4 again reveal that the KM method overestimated the risk of revision compared to the CIF in this population.
We have shown using data from the AOA National Joint Replacement Registry that the KM method overestimated the risk of revision compared to the CIF estimates, and that this was most pronounced when the incidence of the competing risk (death) was high.
The estimates for revision for each year were highest for those patients who received Austin Moore cementless prostheses (Table 3), but after 5 years the KM method overestimated the risk of revision by more than 2% for both types of prosthesis, and the relative biases were substantial.
