Following this rationale, such constructs were first applied in combination with cultured cells (chondrocytes) such as a 3D support for a better tissue regeneration, thus producing good results even at mid-long term follow-up (Filardo et al. [2014b]; Brix et al. [2014]).
Such device achieves an acceptable (although inferior to the surgical Maze) degree of SR conversion at mid-long-term follow-up, equal to 45 95% [ 15– 17].
The strengths of our study lie in its methodology, employing a global psycho-physical investigation to evaluate women's health, and assessing results at the mid to long term follow-up.
Pooled estimates after mid-term and long term follow-up showed no statistically significant improvement in postoperative flexion with high flexion replacements (fig 2).
None of these studies found a relevant difference in functional and patient reported outcomes (appendix 2), nor did data synthesis (pooled estimates Harris Hip Score after short term, mid-term, and long term follow-up −1.7 to 0.2 points, fig 1).
Long term follow-up results were available.
The aim of further randomized studies study is to demonstrate the real superiority of endovascular procedure over open surgery and to define its role in the treatment of aortic pathologies especially in terms of mid and long-term follow-up.
We reviewed the incidence of patella clunk at mid-to-long-term follow-up of a rotating high-flex versus fixed bearing posterior stabilized TKA design.
It contains sufficient data to allow sophisticated statistical analysis to clarify the determinants of good and poor outcome, including early, mid- and long-term follow-up information.
However, the mid- to long-term follow-up, the number of the patients included at the latest examination, and the scoring system increase the value of this study.
Revision rates for aseptic failure have been reported between 1.5% and nearly 20% in mid- to long-term follow-up [1].
