Polyethylene (PE) particles produced by wear of the acetabular insert are thought to cause osteolysis and thereby aseptic loosening of the implant in total hip arthroplasty (THA). As highly cross-linked polyethylene (HXLPE) is presumed to give lower wear rates, in vivo studies are needed to confirm this. To compare the wear of REXPOL, a HXPLE, with...

Severe spasticity may negatively impact functionality and quality of life after spinal cord injury (SCI). Intrathecal baclofen treatment (IBT) is effectively used to manage severe spasticity and reduce comorbidities. However, long-term IBT may have a negative effect on bone mineral content (BMC), bone mineral density (BMD) and body composition (suc...

The incidence of primary osteoarthritis knee is gradually increasing among young individuals. The increasing prevalence of obesity, sedentary lifestyle, sporting activity, and vitamin D deficiency (VDD) has been hypothesized for this shifting disease trend. This study was designed to look for the association of serum vitamin D among these young art...

Hip fractures and proximal humerus fractures are known to be associated with increased mortality, but the impact on mortality of combining these two common injuries is not well known. To compare mortality, inpatient stay and discharge destination for patients with combined hip and proximal humerus fractures with those sustaining isolated hip fractu...

New implants for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are continuously introduced with the proposed benefit of increased performance and improved outcome. Little information exists on how the introduction of a novel arthroplasty implant affects the perioperative and surgical outcome immediately after implementation. To investigate how surgery-related fact...

BACKGROUND Total joint arthroplasty is one of the most common options for end stage osteoarthritis of major joints. However, we must take into account that thrombosis after hip/knee arthroplasty may be related to mutations in genes encoding for blood coagulation factors and immune reactions to anticoagulants [heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT)/...
