Clinical and Radiological Outcome in a Series of Patients Treated by Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion: Retrospective Controlled Study With 2 Different Stand-Alone Cages Open
BACKGROUND: Cervical spine balance and alignment targets after cervical spine surgery are poorly established in patients with cervical spine degenerative disease surgically treated by anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). The obj…

Can the intra-operative measurement of the diameter of the femoral head help surgeons to choose the best size of the acetabular cup? Open
Purpose We hypothesized that the intra-operative measurement of the femoral head may increase the accuracy of the acetabular cup size optimal selection in total hip arthroplasty (THA). The purpose of this clinical research was to analyze t…

Usefulness of serum D-dimer and platelet count to mean platelet volume ratio to rule out chronic periprosthetic joint infection Open
Background: Diagnosing periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is challenging and usually requires the evaluation of several biomarkers. Our main aim was to evaluate the usefulness of D-dimer levels as well as the platelet count (PC) to mean …

Dynamic Fixation Techniques for the Prevention of Adjacent Segment Disease: A Retrospective Controlled Study Open
Study Design: Retrospective, controlled study.Purpose: Dynamic fixation (topping-off technique) adjacent to a transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) level was developed to reduce the risk of adjacent segment disease (ASDi). This stu…

Intraoperative Transfusion of Red Blood Cell Units Stored >14 Days is Associated with an Increased Risk of Prosthetic Joint Infection Open
Background: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association between prosthetic joint infection (PJI) after joint arthroplasty and the length of red blood cell (RBC) storage, timing of RBC transfusion, and the number of RBC uni…

The Not-So-Good Prognosis of Streptococcal Periprosthetic Joint Infection Managed by Implant Retention: The Results of a Large Multicenter Study Open
This is the largest series to our knowledge of streptococcal PJI managed by DAIR, showing a worse prognosis than previously reported. The beneficial effects of exchanging the removable components and of β-lactams are confirmed and maybe al…

Importance of selection and duration of antibiotic regimen in prosthetic joint infections treated with debridement and implant retention Open
The only factor associated with failure was the oral antibiotic selection, not the duration of treatment. Linezolid, co-trimoxazole and clindamycin, but not levofloxacin, serum concentrations are reduced by rifampicin; a fact that could ex…
