Ankylosis

This study follows 208 adults who are scheduled for foot or ankle reconstruction surgery using the Io-Fix system, a device designed to stabilize bones during healing. The goal is to measure how well the bones fuse and how patients recover, using X-rays and health questionnaires. …

This study looked at how well a specific knee replacement (balanSys UNI) works over time. 116 people with knee arthritis got the implant and were followed for at least 2 years. Doctors measured knee function using the Knee Society Score and checked X-rays for any problems.

This study tested two new methods to treat dental ankylosis, a condition where a tooth fuses to the jawbone, stopping normal growth. Five people aged 6 to 30 received either electric toothbrush vibration or mini-implant-assisted force to move the affected tooth. Researchers measu…

This pilot study looked at whether passive static stretching can increase hip flexibility in three groups: people who had hip replacement, those with long-term hip pain, and healthy volunteers. Twelve participants followed a 4-week stretching program three times a week under supe…

This study tested a non-drug approach to control pain after shoulder, ankle, or bunion surgery. Instead of relying on opioids, doctors placed a tiny wire near a nerve using ultrasound and delivered a mild electric current. The goal was to see if this method could lower pain and r…

This study compared robotic-assisted total knee replacement to the conventional technique in 95 patients with knee arthritis. The goal was to see if robotic surgery leads to better knee function, less pain, and higher satisfaction two years after the operation. Researchers also c…

This study looked at whether virtual surgical planning can accurately predict the placement of custom-made jaw joint replacements in 8 patients with severe TMJ disorders, jaw defects, or recurrent joint stiffness. Researchers compared the planned position to the actual position a…

This study looked at 368 patients with severe ankle arthritis who chose surgery. Researchers used surveys, step counts, and motion-capture walking tests to compare how well different surgical procedures improved function and quality of life. The goal was to find out which surgery…

This study checked how stable teeth are in people with cemento-osseous dysplasia (COD), a rare jaw condition that can affect tooth attachment. Researchers used two non-invasive tools—a device that measures tooth vibration and a bite force sensor—to compare affected teeth with hea…
