Abstract

Introduction

The Ascension PyroCarbon proximal interphalangeal (PIP) total joint is used in osteoarthritis of the PIP finger joint. No systematic study of the positioning of this prosthesis and its relation to proximal and middle phalanx morphology has yet been reported.

Materials and methods

Positioning of the proximal and distal components of the Ascension PyroCarbon PIP total joint was radiographically analysed in 152 human cadaver fingers.

Results

Ideal implant position in the axis of the phalanx and with contact of the implant head with bone in both the frontal and sagittal planes was seen in only 33 % of the phalanges. Implant malposition was observed in the remaining 67 % of phalanges.

Conclusion

The current design of the Ascension PyroCarbon PIP total joint can lead to malpositioning that we attribute to its incomplete accommodation of the morphology of the proximal and middle phalanx, the surgical challenges the design poses, or both acting together.

Proximale Humerusfraktur: Auch 100-Jährige operieren?

01.05.2024 DCK 2024 Kongressbericht

Mit dem demographischen Wandel versorgt auch die Chirurgie immer mehr betagte Menschen. Von Entwicklungen wie Fast-Track können auch ältere Menschen profitieren und bei proximaler Humerusfraktur können selbst manche 100-Jährige noch sicher operiert werden.

Sind Frauen die fähigeren Ärzte?

30.04.2024 Gendermedizin Nachrichten

Patienten, die von Ärztinnen behandelt werden, dürfen offenbar auf bessere Therapieergebnisse hoffen als Patienten von Ärzten. Besonders gilt das offenbar für weibliche Kranke, wie eine Studie zeigt.

Notfall-TEP der Hüfte ist auch bei 90-Jährigen machbar

26.04.2024 Hüft-TEP Nachrichten

Ob bei einer Notfalloperation nach Schenkelhalsfraktur eine Hemiarthroplastik oder eine totale Endoprothese (TEP) eingebaut wird, sollte nicht allein vom Alter der Patientinnen und Patienten abhängen. Auch über 90-Jährige können von der TEP profitieren.

Arthroskopie kann Knieprothese nicht hinauszögern
