Cementless socket fixation based on the “press-fit” concept in total hip arthroplasty

February 2002 Acta chirurgiae orthopaedicae et traumatologiae Cechoslovaca 69(1):8-15 Cementless socket fixation based on the “press-fit” concept in total hip arthroplasty E W Morscher, K-H Widmer, H Bereiter Abstract The key problem of implant fixation in THR is stress distribution, i.e. load transmission between bone and implant. The closer the load transfer is to the […]

Single-use peripheral” vs “conventional” reaming in total hip arthroplasty: how to respect native centre of rotation and acetabular offset? A CT study

International Orthopaedics 2023 Nov;47(11):2737-2742. doi: 10.1007/s00264-023-05899-3. Epub 2023 Aug 5 “Single-use peripheral” vs “conventional” reaming in total hip arthroplasty: how to respect native centre of rotation and acetabular offset? A CT study Edoardo Viglietta 1, Leonardo Previ 2, Veronica Giuliani 2, Giulia Rescigno 2, Yuri Gugliotta 2, Andrea Redler 2, Raffaele Iorio 2 Abstract Purpose: The respect of native hip offset represents a mainstay for satisfying results in total hip arthroplasty […]

Inaccuracy of acetabular reaming under surgical conditions

Journal of Arthroplasty 1999 Sep;14(6):730-7. doi: 10.1016/s0883-5403(99)90229-2 Inaccuracy of acetabular reaming under surgical conditions Abstract Press-fit uncemented acetabular components require accurate implant-bone cavity fit. Ten cavities produced during actual hip arthroplasty using debris-retaining reamers were replicated in dental alginate. An experimental reamer with better cutting prepared 12 acetabulae in mortuo under similar conditions. Positives in dental […]

How much stability do we need in the 1mm press-fit implantation of a porous-coated acetabular component without screws during surgery?

Journal of Musculoskeletal Research, Vol. 26, No. 1 (2023) How much stability do we need in the 1mm press-fit implantation of a porous-coated acetabular component without screws during surgery? A. Cataltepe and K. Unay Background: Press-fit implantation of a porous-coated acetabular component without screws can be used for total hip arthroplasty (THA). The purpose of […]
