Zusammenfassung

Zum bewegungserhaltenden Ersatz der lumbalen Facettengelenke werden 6 Implantatsysteme von 5 US-amerikanischen Firmen und einer Schweizer Firma vorgestellt, inklusive der biomechanischen und klinischen Ergebnisse, soweit diese aus Publikationen, einer Internetrecherche, Vorträgen, Postern und direkten Firmeninformationen erhältlich waren. Eingangs werden anatomische, biomechanische und klinische Daten der natürlichen Facettengelenke präsentiert, aus denen sich Grundlagen der hohen Morbidität in dieser topographischen Region und zugleich für den künstlichen Ersatz der Wirbelbogengelenke ableiten lassen. Basierend auf einer Implantatklassifikation und den verfügbaren Ergebnissen mit diesen Implantaten erfolgt die Darstellung des gegenwärtigen Standes der erst seit 2005 im klinischen Einsatz befindlichen Behandlungsmethode eines bewegungserhaltenden Ersatzes der Facettengelenke. Wegen nicht abgeschlossener Studien und nicht ausreichender klinischer Ergebnisse mit künstlichen Facettengelenken können noch keine verbindlichen Behandlungsempfehlungen unterbreitet werden.

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

25.04.2024 Gonarthrose Nachrichten

Ein arthroskopischer Eingriff bei Kniearthrose macht im Hinblick darauf, ob und wann ein Gelenkersatz fällig wird, offenbar keinen Unterschied.
