In addition, the difference in leg length after THA affects postoperative gait and low back pain, and the femoral offset is related to gait and abductor muscle function. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether implant placement, leg length difference, and hip offset are improved in supine THA using a 9-inch fluoroscopic HipGrid Drone. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed consecutive 80 patients who underwent primary unilateral primary THA through direct anterior approach at supine position: 40 THAs with the use of fluoroscopy and 9-inch Drone, and 40 THAs with the use of fluoroscopy alone. We compared the accuracy of component positioning, leg length discrepancy, and hip offset with or without Drone. Results: There was no significant difference in the inclination angle of the cup between the Drone group 37.9 degrees and the control group 39.0 degrees (p=0.175), but the variation from the target angle was more less in the Drone group compared with the control group (2.37 vs 3.82 degrees, p=0.013).

However, despite their widespread use, they are contraindicated in Prosthetic Joint Infections (PJI). A BVF device is needed that will provide sustained antimicrobial protection to prevent biofilm formation and, ultimately, will resorb and be replaced by host bone. Currently, BVF are only used in noninfected cases in which powder antibiotics are added in hopes of preventing future infections. These BVF do not provide a sustained antibiotic level and, therefore, are not recommended for infected cases. A novel BVF, EP Granules with Tobramycin, was designed to fulfill the need for successful bone growth when infection is present. To create this unique and original BVF, an osteoconductive biomaterial was combined with clinically used degradable polymers, resulting in a composite ceramic polymer. Initial in-vitro elution studies followed by successful and animal in-vivo testing have demonstrated its effectiveness.","PeriodicalId":382112,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Orthopaedic Science and Research","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115036569","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The post-operative outcome of ACLR is mainly dependant on graft healing its integration into the femoral and tibia tunnels. For the tendon to bone integration it can take up to several months post-surgery. Incorporation of graft into the bony tunnels plays an important role in post-operative outcome after ACL reconstruction surgery. In our study we have aimed to compare hamstring graft healing time post ACL reconstruction when graft was enveloped with periosteum as envelope. Material and Methods: 30 patients with isolated ACL tear were selected between age group of 18 to 40 years and were grouped randomly into 2 groups. In first group the hamstring graft was enveloped with the surrounding periosteum harvested were as second group the patients were not augmented with periosteal envelope. Post-operative rehabilitation remained similar in both the groups and MRI scan was done at 6 months, 9 months and 1 year post operatively to check for graft maturity.","PeriodicalId":382112,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Orthopaedic Science and Research","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116578728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We aimed to investigate muscle strength and gait speed over a one-year follow-up period after RAO using the combined approach.

Isometric hip flexion, abduction, and extension strengths and gait speed were measured before surgery and three months, six months, and one year after surgery.
