ARTHROPLASTY

This study looked at whether the blood thinner Xarelto (rivaroxaban) can prevent dangerous blood clots in the legs or lungs after hip or knee replacement surgery. 150 patients were randomly assigned to receive either Xarelto or no blood thinner after surgery. The researchers trac…

This study tested a robotic system called CORI that helps surgeons plan and perform knee replacement surgery. The goal was to see if the robot helps place the new knee joint more accurately. 126 adults who needed a partial or total knee replacement took part. The results showed t…

This study is testing a device called the CORI™ KNEE TENSIONER, which helps surgeons balance the knee during total knee replacement surgery. Fifty adults who need a knee replacement will have the surgery using this device, and their recovery and quality of life will be tracked fo…

This study looked at 50 adults having knee replacement surgery to see if a computer-guided tool (imageless navigation) can measure key knee angles as accurately as a CT scan. The tool creates a digital model of the knee during surgery, which could avoid the need for a preoperativ…

This study looked back at 54 people who had a hip replacement with a specific part called the CL TRAUMA cemented stem. The goal was to see if the part was safe and worked well. Researchers measured how well patients could move and if they had pain using a standard hip score.

This study looked at tiny particles that wear off hip implants in 55 adults. Researchers wanted to understand which types of particles cause the most inflammation in the surrounding tissue. The goal is to improve knowledge about why some hip replacements fail sooner than expected…

This study looked at 250 adults having total knee replacement to compare two surgical approaches: resurfacing the kneecap (patella) with a plastic implant versus leaving the natural cartilage in place. The goal was to see which method leads to better knee function and comfort one…
