Abstract

Stems are intramedullary extensions of either the femoral or tibial component of a total knee arthroplasty (TKA) designed to increase the mechanical stability to decrease the risk of aseptic loosening. Biomechanical studies have shown that TKA stems increase the mechanical stability by transferring load over a larger area and thereby reduce strain at the bone-component interface [14]. The length of a revision TKA stem is determined by the patient’s anatomy and the intended fixation, namely fully cemented or press-fit cortical contact. The advantages and disadvantages of various stem lengths must be weighed against the needs of the patient to achieve an optimal outcome.

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.

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.
