BACKGROUND Spinal metallosis is a rare complication following spinal instrumentation whereby an inflammatory response to the metal implants results in the development of granulomatous tissue.CASE SUMMARY We describe t...
BACKGROUND Over the past years,patient specific instrumentation(PSI)for total knee arthroplasty(TKA)has been implemented and routinely used.No clear answer has been given on its associated cost and cost-effectiveness ...
The recent increase in the adoption of total ankle arthroplasty(TAA)reflects the improvements in implant designs and surgical techniques,including the use of preoperative navigation system and patient-specific instrum...
Three-dimensional(3D)printing is a rapidly evolving and promising field to improve outcomes of orthopaedic surgery.The use of patient-specific 3D-printed models is specifically interesting in paediatric orthopaedic su...
Pelvic instrumentation for neuromuscular scoliosis has been part of neuromuscular scoliosis surgery since the era of the Luque Galveston construct. Unit Rod(Medtronic Sofamor-Danek, Nashville, TN) instrumentation brou...
AIM To compare the posterior vs anterior approaches for fusion of Lenke 5 adolescent idiopathic scoliosis curves,matched for curve magnitude and for the distal level of fixation(dLOF) standardized to the third lumbar ...
Patient specific instrumentation(PSI) in total knee arthroplasty(TKA) promises faster operation time(by using less instruments and individual cutting jigs), less blood loss, faster rehabilitation, better implant sizin...
AIM: To summarise and compare currently available evidence regarding accuracy of pre-operative imaging, which is one of the key choices for surgeons contemplating patient-specific instrumentation(PSI) surgery.METHODS:...
