Abstract:
Ankle arthritis affects 1% of the population and can be a painful debilitating problem. One motion preserving treatment option is total ankle replacement (TAR). These devices are currently under researched and have poor clinical outcomes. Despite significant variation amongst device designs no pre-clinical test standards exist to allow comparison of tribological function. Furthermore, malalignment of TARs is a potential result of surgical technique or failure to correct existing natural varus/valgus deformity. TAR malalignment can result in instability, deformity and is associated with increas

Abstract:
The use of total ankle replacement (TAR) for treatment of arthritis is rapidly increasing, but survival rates are of major concern. The primary indication for TAR revision is implant loosening, which is linked with inadequate primary stability manifested in higher levels of initial implant-bone micromotion. Finite-element (FE) modelling has been utilised to assess micromotion of arthroplasty implants, but not TAR. Additionally, the biomechanical consequences of TAR malpositioning during surgery – previously linked with higher failure rates – remain unexplored. The aim of this thesis was theref

Total ankle replacement (TAR) has been under development for 40 years but is not considered as successful as other lower limb total joint replacements (TJR). The failure rate of TAR is more than double that of total hip replacement at 10 years, yet the failure mechanisms remain largely unknown. The research in this thesis aimed to identify the wear modes and possible origins of failure for a cohort of failed TARs using a retrieval analysis approach.

Abstract:
Total ankle arthroplasties (TAAs) are mechanical devices used to replace the articular surfaces of the ankle joint in order to relieve pain for patients with osteoarthritis. Since most osteoarthritis is post-traumatic, and due to the highly variable individual foot geometry, TAAs are rarely inserted into normal geometry. This leads to serious problems with stresses and contact pressures in TAA components. This study uses finite element (FE) modeling to determine how hindfoot alignment, or how far in varus or valgus the most distal part of the calcaneus is perpendicularly from the axis of the t

Wear is the number one concern with regards to the longevity of THR (total hip replacement). Therefore, reliable in-vitro prediction of wear is necessary. Thus, the laboratory should first validate their hip simulators with known clinical materials. The limiting factor in hip wear simulation has been the joint fluid analog. Using 100% bovine serum as the joint fluid analog, UHMWPE (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene) wear-rates have been continually underestimated and PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) wear has been overestimated.

Introduction: Arthritis is a degenerative disease that causes irreversible damage to a joint’s articular cartilage. Despite having high failure rates in early total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) models, recent improvements have increased the success of this procedure, providing end-stage ankle arthritis patients a viable alternative to fusion with better functional outcomes. Currently, the most prevalent cause of failure is aseptic loosening, which is believed to be affected by motion at the bone-implant interface.

The hip joint capsule is a complex soft tissue structure that comprises a number of ligaments with different thickness and strength respectively, as well as a thinner membrane-like part that provides the structural integrity for the capsule. The role of the capsule is twofold, forming a closed environment around the joint surfaces, in which the synovial fluids are retained, but also providing a passive joint resistance that acts in addition to the surrounding muscles and mainly in extreme limb positions and in unexpected limb loading. Despite its important role, the capsule is commonly removed

As a result, whilst over a third of patients are eligible for UKR, only around 8% receive it.

Total hip replacement (THR) is one of the most successful and most frequently performed operations. For most implants the published rate of revision at 10 years is less than 10%. However the revision rates are higher for younger and more active patients who are likely to outlive their implants. The most frequent cause of THR failure is aseptic loosening, commonly accompanied by bone loss at the implant site. THR revisions give worse functional results and fail sooner than primary THR and are complicated by this loss of bone stock. A resurfacing hip prosthesis replaces the diseased surface laye

Abstract:
Knie- und Hüftgelenkersatz zählt weltweit zu den erfolgreichsten und häufigsten Operationen, wenngleich 3-24% der Patienten unzufrieden sind. Der OECD-Ländervergleich ergab 2014 für Deutschland die höchste Durchführungsrate an Hüft-TEP und die zweithöchste an Knie-TEP. Erhebungen der Patientenzufriedenheit und Rückkehrbereitschaft können zur Prozessoptimierung und Qualitätsverbesserung genutzt werden und zugleich eine Steigerung der Zufriedenheit und Kundenbindung fördern. Mit der erstmaligen Aufnahme eines P4P-Ansatzes im KHSG, sind zukünftig qualitätsbezogene Zuschlagszahlungen an ein Kranke
