ARTHROPLASTY

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

This study looked at whether the blood thinner Xarelto (rivaroxaban) can safely prevent dangerous blood clots in the legs or lungs after total hip or knee replacement surgery. 150 patients in Taiwan were randomly assigned to receive Xarelto or standard care. The researchers measu…

This study looked at whether a special computer system used during knee replacement surgery can measure bone angles as accurately as a CT scan taken before surgery. Fifty adults with knee arthritis had both methods compared. The goal was to see if the computer could replace the C…

This study looked at two ways to do knee replacement surgery: one where the kneecap is resurfaced with a plastic implant, and one where it's left natural. Researchers followed 250 patients for 12 months after surgery to see which method led to better knee function and fewer probl…

This study looked at tiny particles that wear off hip implants in 55 adults who had hip replacement surgery. Researchers used special microscopes to examine these particles in joint fluid and tissue. The goal was to understand which types of particles cause the most inflammation …

This study looked at 54 people who had a hip replacement with a specific implant called the CL TRAUMA cemented femoral stem. The goal was to see if the implant was safe and worked well. Researchers measured patients' recovery using a standard hip score and checked X-rays over tim…
