New test detects early osteolysis after arthroplasty
Investigators at the University of Nebraska Medical Centre developed a system to detect early inflammation and osteolysis associated with arthroplasty The study was published in the Molecular pharmaceuticals Journal by Ren et al.. They developed a polymer-based system — a N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide (HPMA) copolymer-based optical imaging contrast agent (P-IRDye) — for imaging the inflammation that is associated […]

Hindfoot alignment and TKR
Persistent Hindfoot Valgus Causes Lateral Deviation of Weightbearing Axis after Total Knee Arthroplasty. Mullaji A, Shetty GM. Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Breach Candy Hospital, Mumbai, India, Abstract BACKGROUND: The weightbearing axis of the limb goes from the pelvis to the ground and includes the hindfoot. However, the influence of hindfoot alignment on mechanical axis and overall limb […]
Tibial Plateau Fractures
Tibial Plateau Fracture Anatomical Pearls: The articular surface of the lateral tibial plateau is flat or slightly convex in relation to the medial tibial plateau that is concave, which provides greater congruity with the medial femoral condyle than on the lateral side. The lateral plateau is also higher than the medial plateau, accounting for the […]
Stem Cells in Orthopaedic Surgery
Stem Cells in Orthopaedic Surgery A stem cell is an ‘immature’ or undifferentiated cell which is capable of producing an identical daughter cell. Stem cells must have a capacity for self-renewal giving rise to more stem cells, and the ability to differentiate into tissues of various lineages under appropriate condition They may be totipotent, pluripotent […]
