Prosthetic methods for the treatment of dysfunction include procedures to correct the occlusion system (selective contouring, reconstruction of correct occlusal conditions with fixed or mobile prostheses) [ 1– 3, 5, 8, 18, 25– 29, 41, 44, 47, 48].
The audiological and morphological results are encouraging and show that the mobile prosthesis headplate adjusting to the level of the tympanic membrane is a further step in the development of a physiological middle ear implant.
Forty-eight patients with Salto® mobile version prostheses (4%) underwent revision, of whom 24 (70.5%) underwent ankle arthrodesis, 9 (26.5%) metallic component replacement, and 1 (3%) below-the-knee amputation.
Eight studies involving 1,209 Salto® mobile version prostheses, with a weighted mean follow-up period of 55.2 months, and 5 studies involving 212 Salto Talaris™ total ankle prostheses, with a weighted mean follow-up period of 34.9 months, were included.
Rotating platform mobile bearing prostheses exhibited reduced wear rates in comparison to fixed bearing components in these simulator studies due to redistribution of knee motion to two articulating interfaces with more linear motions at each interface.
Prevention of ASDis is based on the premise that mobile disc prostheses preserve cervical spine motion in a physiological way.
However, prevention of ASDeg is based on the premise that mobile disc prostheses preserve cervical spine motion in a physiological way.
Conversely, an increased failure risk was observed in mobile meniscus prostheses in comparison with those with a fixed meniscus (Rate Ratio 1.88); an increased failure risk was also related to age (Rate Ratio 1.05 per year).
Price et al. [ 26] reported better American Knee Society scores and Oxford 12-item questionnaire and pain scores for mobile-bearing prostheses 1 year after placing bilateral mobile-bearing and fixed-bearing prostheses in 40 patients.
In CDA, a mobile disc prosthesis is inserted during surgery to preserve mobility of the operated spinal segment.
One hundred and ninety-eight knees were implanted with mobile bearing prosthesis (E-motion; Aesculap, Germany), and 185 knees were implanted with fixed bearing prosthesis (Genesis II; Smith & Nephew, USA).
