Unilateral temporomandibular joint ankylosis with jaw deformity (UTMJAJD) may require simultaneous total joint prosthesis (TJP) reconstruction, sagittal split ramus (SSRO), and Le Fort I osteotomies. ...
Patients diagnosed UTMJAJD between 2016 and 2018 were selected for the study. Mandible-first procedure was performed after ankylosis release with TJP on the ankylosed side and SSRO on the contralatera...
Seven patients were included in the study. Their average chin deviation was 9.5 ± 4.2 mm, and maxillary cant was 5.1 ± 3.0°. After operation, jaw deformity significantly improved, with chin deviation ...
Simultaneous TJP reconstruction, SSRO, and Le Fort I osteotomy are reliable and effective methods for the treatment of UTMJAJD....
Ulnar head prostheses have been developed to restore the integrity of the DRUJ and relieve pain. This study aims to evaluate the long-term outcome of the clinical and radiographic results as well as t...
The Herbert ulnar head prosthesis was implanted in 62 patients. In the majority of the patients, the indication was given due to pain during forearm rotation. This was on account of painful instabilit...
The average follow-up was 84.5 months (range 8-206 months), and statistically significant reduction of pain was observed (p < 0.05). The range of motion of pro- and supination improved slightly, but n...
The long-term results of the UHP are encouraging regardless of different indications with a survival rate of more than 90% 7 years following surgery, high patient satisfaction and good clinical and ra...

Total joint arthroplasty (TJA) has often been used to treat thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) osteoarthritis (OA). However, guidelines for the CMC prosthesis shape remain unclear. This study aimed to identi...
The participants were 10 healthy young adult men (22-32 years; 26.8 ± 3.57 [mean ± SD]). CT scans were performed in eight static limb positions during abduction and flexion. We defined three design va...
We found that the values of r and h averaged over all limb positions were 6.92 ± 1.60 mm and 51.02 ± 1.67 mm, respectively, showing that these values remained constant regardless of limb position. In ...
Our results suggested that the desirable values of R and H were the average of r and h over several limb positions and that Φ = 0° was effective in restoring the range of thumb motion after TJA. Our r...
Total joint replacement (TJR) is widely applied as a promising treatment for the reconstruction of serious joint diseases but is usually characterized by critical loss of skeletal muscle attachment to...
There are numerous operative procedures to treat osteoarthritic changes or a significant instability of the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ). The key problem of most methods is the destabilization of th...
In the following retrospective study, we analyzed the data of patients that received an Aptis-prosthesis between 2016 and 2021. We have implanted this prosthesis in 13 cases (11 female, 2 male). Routi...
Removal or significant revision of any of the prostheses was not needed. The ROM was 68.1° ± 19.7° for pronation and 72.3° ± 20.9° for supination, grip strength amounted to 27.7 kg ± 11.0 kg equaling ...
The semiconstrained Aptis-prosthesis is a safe and efficient treatment option after failed DRUJ surgeries. It is striking that of the 20 implanted prostheses no significant revision or explantations w...
This study assessed return to work and prosthesis survival after trapeziometacarpal prosthesis surgery....
A multicenter retrospective study was carried out on patients operated on between 2002 and 2020. All working patients who had undergone trapeziometacarpal prosthesis surgery were included. Return to w...
240 prostheses in 211 patients were included. The complications rate was 7.5%, with 97% prosthesis survival. 94.3% of patients returned to work, at a mean 48 days (range, 29-210 days; SD, 22.7 days), ...
Trapeziometacarpal arthroplasty enables most patients to return to work within 6 weeks. In this series, the prosthetic survival rate was 97%....
Base-of-thumb osteoarthritis is the most frequent osteoarthritis of the hand requiring surgical treatment, although conservative treatment options should be exhausted before surgery. If the wear proce...
Although considerable literature can be found on the outcome of total ankle replacement (TAR), only a few studies have reported the results of the fixed-bearing Cadence prosthesis. This noninventor st...
Sixty patients who underwent primary TAR with the Cadence prosthesis between July 2016 and July 2019 were clinically and radiographically evaluated preoperatively and at last follow-up after the proce...
The survival rate of the prosthesis was 98.3%. The mean radiographic ankle ROM at the last follow-up was 24 degrees (9 degrees of dorsiflexion and 15 degrees of plantarflexion). The coronal and sagitt...
Clinical, radiograph ROM, implant position outcomes, and survival rate at an early-term follow-up of 2.9 years were similar to those reported in recent Cadence studies. However, this study reports 5 u...
Level IV, retrospective case series....
Resection of the mandible and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) without formal reconstruction is a devastating condition that negatively affects all aspects of the patient's life. We have approached the r...
This was a prospective case series of adult patients that underwent mandibular reconstruction with FFF and alloplastic TMJ prosthesis at the our center. Pre-operative and post-operative maximum inter-...
Six patients were included in the study. The median patient age was 53 years. Heat map analysis of the QOL questionnaire revealed that patients reported a positive clinically significant change in the...
This study highlights the complexities involved in mandibular reconstruction with involvement of the TMJ. Based on our findings, patients can obtain an acceptable QOL and good function following simul...
The literature on the outcome of revision total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) remains limited. In this study, we aimed to report the clinical and radiographic outcomes of revision TAA at a high-volume cent...
This study was a retrospective review of 28 patients who underwent 29 revision TAAs using the INBONE II Total Ankle System (Wright Medical Technology/Stryker). Demographic, radiographic, and patient-r...
The mean duration from primary TAA to revision was 87.5 months (range, 16 to 223 months). The main indication for the revision was aseptic loosening after the primary TAA (83%). Additional procedures ...
Revision TAA using the INBONE II prosthesis was associated with good short-term survival and improvement in postoperative scores at 2 years. Maintenance of the postoperatively improved alignment was d...
