Computer-assisted surgery represents a relatively novel treatment option in total hip arthroplasty, which has been supported by the technological progress over the latest decades. Navigation and robotics enable increasing the precision of cup positio...
BACKGROUND: Numerous long-term results for both medial and lateral unicondylar knee arthroplasty (UKA) demonstrate that UKA is a reliable and successful treatment for isolated anteromedial or lateral osteoarthritis of the knee when the correct indica...
BACKGROUND: Unicondylar knee arthroplasty offers the advantage that partial degenerative changes can be addressed with partial prosthetic solutions, thus preserving as much of the native joint as possible, including the cruciate ligaments. On the oth...
The optimal 3D positioning of the prosthesis components is of great importance for the stability and function of a total hip endoprosthesis. Pelvic tilt has a particular influence on the position of the implant. In order to use intraoperatively the k...
In the course of digitalization it is becoming increasingly rare for medical documents to be handwritten. As a result, digitalization has already become an integral part of routine patient care but in contrast to other specialist disciplines, such as...
Numerous advances have been made in prosthesis design, instrumentation and postoperative rehabilitation for unicompartmental knee arthroplasty; however, only 70-86% of patients are satisfied with the functional outcome and revision rates range betwee...
BACKGROUND: There are still a high number of dissatisfied knee arthroplasty patients. This situation has not changed much for decades, despite many innovations focusing on implant longevity and higher procedural precision. In this context, there is a...
The digitalization in medicine has led to almost universal availability of information to different healthcare professionals and accelerated clinical pathways. Fast-track concepts and short hospital stays require intelligent and practicable systems i...
