Joint replacement is one of the options to retrieve the interosseous distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) function. DRUJ prosthesis has recently been introduced clinically to treat DRUJ instability. This ar...
CT images of a healthy 33 years old man were used to construct the three-dimensional geometry of the forearm bone. Then two models, a healthy foreman (Model A) and a damaged model with an inserted int...
Maximum and minimum principal stresses were evaluated for bones in all conditions, and von Mises stress was considered for the prosthesis and fixing screws. In supination, the maximum stress in Model ...
Our study indicates that the interosseous DRUJ prosthesis can perform the foreman's normal daily activities. This prosthesis provides the ability similar to a normal hand....

Management of intraoperative contamination of a custom total temporomandibular joint prosthesis has not been reported in the literature. As this complication is rare, it can be unsettling for the surg...
Alloplastic total temporomandibular joint replacement (TMJR) is the treatment of choice for end-stage temporomandibular joint diseases. Extended TMJR (eTMJR) is a modification of the standard alloplas...
This article describes the journey the authors took in discovering a new distal radioulnar joint prosthesis. The beginning deals with the problems we can potentially create for patients when we blindl...
Hypoplastic asymmetry due to hemifacial microsomia (HFM) often represents the most difficult reconstruction in the craniomaxillofacial clinic. Although autogenous grafts are generally used for temporo...
To describe the indications, operative technique, and long-term outcomes of patients treated with the Scheker (Aptis) distal radio-ulnar joint (DRUJ) prosthesis....
The Scheker prosthesis is intended to replace the DRUJ in patients with rheumatoid, degenerative, or posttraumatic arthritis of the sigmoid notch and/or ulnar head, or in cases of gross instability of...
Severe osteoporosis, active infection, immature skeleton, less than 14 cm of the proximal ulna remaining....
In supine position with the forearm in full pronation, an ulnar S‑shaped incision is made. The ulnar head is resected and the proximal part is brought to the palmar side to enable visualization of the...
After 48 h of pressure bandages, patients are instructed to start with full range of motion and weight-bearing exercises under the guidance of a hand therapist. Weight-bearing is constrained to 10 kg....
We retrospectively assessed 50 Scheker prostheses in 48 patients treated between 2016 and 2021. The median age was 56 years (IQR: 50-65) and 30 (60%) were female. Median follow-up was 29 months (IQR: ...
Total joint arthroplasty as a surgical treatment option for trapeziometacarpal joint arthritis is recently revived. The aim of this study is to report on mid- and long-term results of the Elektra (sin...
In this retrospective, monocentric, descriptive cohort study, 31 prostheses were evaluated that were implanted by a single surgeon in 26 patients between 2009 and 2019. Indication for surgery was trap...
10 Elektra and 21 Moovis prostheses were implanted between 2009 and 2019 with a mean follow-up of 74.2 months in the Elektra and 41.4 months in the Moovis group. The average patients' age at surgery w...
In this mid- to long-term retrospective analysis, total joint arthroplasty in primary trapeziometacarpal joint arthritis results in low pain levels, excellent mobility and clinical function. Patient s...
The study was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki, and approved by the Ethics Committee of the Medical Faculty of Heidelberg University, reference number S-150/2020....
Artificial total joint replacement is an important method of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) reconstruction, which has been advocated for TMJ osteoarthrosis, ankylosis, tumors, and other diseases. We de...
A female volunteer was recruited for a maxillofacial computed tomography scan, then the Hypermesh software was used to establish a finite element model of a mandibular condyle defect repaired with an ...
The average maximum stress of the fossa component of the standard prosthesis model was 19.25 MPa. The average maximum stress of the condyle component was 82.58 MPa, mainly concentrated near the top ro...
The stress distribution of the standard TMJ prosthesis is uniform, meanwhile, the number and arrangement of the screws significantly affect the contact force of the screws....
This study aimed to determine the prognostic outcome of hip joint replacement after resection of proximal femoral tumors by reviewing original studies....
Two researchers independently searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases from inception to July 17, 2022. Then, the literature was screened by inclusion criteria. The basi...
Twenty-four retrospective cohort studies comprising 2081 patients were included. The limb salvage rate was 98%. The survival rates at 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years were 80, 72, 65, 64, and 55% for patients ...
As chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment progressed, joint reconstruction after proximal femoral tumor resection improved patients' function and quality of life....
The introduction of the new generation of thumb carpometacarpal (CMC I) joint implants for the treatment of CMC I osteoarthritis has significantly broadened the scope of hand surgery in recent years. ...
