A more robust pre-clinical wear simulation framework is required in order to simulate wider and higher ranges of activities, observed in different patient populations such as younger more active patients.
Dr. Love of Ohio State, meanwhile, said he had begun routinely removing the Sprint Fidelis when changing defibrillators or pacemakers in younger, more active patients — typically those age 60 or less — because greater physical activity places more stress on a cable, raising the likelihood of its fracturing.
"Less expensive than, say, giving special attention to more active patients who need to be kept busy".
The implant, made from cobalt chrome, has the potential to last longer than traditional hip implants, experts say, making it an especially attractive option for younger, more active patients.
The procedure, which preserves more thigh bone than in a conventional hip replacement, is aimed at younger, more active patients who may need several hip replacements in their lifetimes.
It has been extended to younger and more active patients.
The longevity of total hip arthroplasty, especially in younger, more active patients, has been questioned.
Our work opens a radical avenue to fabricate high-performance UHMWPE bearings, enabling its use under high stress, particularly for younger and more active patients.
More active patients with elbow arthropathy are also treated using TEA.
Resurfacing of the femur has experienced a revival, particularly in younger and more active patients.
This was due to concern that catastrophic wear and failure would occur in younger and more active patients.
