ARTHROPLASTY

This study tested a robotic system called CORI to help surgeons perform knee replacement surgeries more accurately. The goal was to see if the robot could help place the new knee joint in the exact position the surgeon planned. A total of 126 adults who needed a partial or total …

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 250 people having total knee replacement to compare two ways of handling the kneecap: resurfacing it with a plastic implant or leaving the natural cartilage in place. The goal was to see which method leads to better knee function and comfort one year after su…

This study looked at 54 people who had a hip replacement with a specific stem called CL TRAUMA. The goal was to see if the stem was safe and worked well by checking how well patients could move and feel after surgery, and by looking at X-rays. The study was done after the product…

This study looked at whether a special computer system used during knee replacement surgery can measure bone angles as accurately as a CT scan done beforehand. 50 adults with knee arthritis had both a CT scan and the computer measurements during their surgery. The goal was to see…

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…
