“…To elucidate if implants with a zirconium femoral component can be used safely in TKA, a retrospective study reviewed the clinical outcome at 5 years. The results justified the use ofoxidized zirconium as an alternative bearing surface for a femoral component in TKA (127).…”

The most significant results in experimental and clinical orthopaedic research in Italy within the last three years have been primarily in major congenital diseases, bone tumors, regenerative medicine, joint replacements, spine, tendons and ligaments, The data presented in the following discussion is comparable with leading international results, highlighting Italian orthopaedic research excellemce as well as its shortcomings.There has been continued innovation in orthopaedic research over the past years. The advances in basic science, particularly in molecular and cell biology, in material science and in nanotechnology, has provided the tools for bone engineering, bone imaging and innovative methods for diagnosis and treatment of primitive and metastatic bone tumours. At this point, it seems necessary to examine to what extent are the limitations of these new orthopaedic techniques as well as the prevalent topics that should be explored and the position of the Italian orthopedic research on a global stage.

“…Nevertheless, early aseptic femoral loosening after primary TKA has been reported for highflexion design prostheses [9,11,14]. We therefore determined (1) the incidence of dislocation and aseptic loosening after TKAs with implantation of posterior stabilized Columbus 1 and Scorpio 1 posterior stabilized highflexion prostheses, (2) the causative factors of dislocation and aseptic femoral component loosening by comparing two prosthesis designs using retrieved analysis, and (3) the mechanisms of dislocation.…”

Background Most studies report high survivorship rates for TKAs, however, we observed higher than anticipated rates of dislocation and femoral component loosening after implanting a Columbus 1 posterior stabilized prosthesis. Questions/purpose We therefore determined (1) the incidence of dislocation and aseptic loosening that occurred after implantation of posterior stabilized high-flexion prostheses in TKAs, (2) the causative factors of dislocation and aseptic femoral component loosening when comparing two designs of prostheses, and (3) the mechanisms of dislocation. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 319 patients who underwent

Major joint arthroplasty is undoubtedly one of the surgical success stories of modern times.The first attempt of treating patients affected by knee osteoarthritis with arthroplasty goes back to the midnineteenth century.In 1880 the German surgeon Themistocles Gluck implanted the first primitive hinge joints made of ivory.The first part of the twentieth century saw the return of interpositional arthroplasty with the use of autologous tissues or metallic surfaces.In the early 1960s, John Charnley's cemented metal-on-polyethylene total hip arthroplasty inspired the development of the modern total knee replacement.He worked on the design of an implant that resurfaced the distal femur and proximal tibia without any direct mechanical link between the components began at the end of the sixties.Technological developments in the field of knee replacement continue to increase the range of solutions for the recovery of joint mobility of painful knee arthritis.
