Heat generation during cement removal in revision total hip replacement - a comparison of three methods

Hip International : the Journal of Clinical and Experimental Research on Hip Pathology and Therapy
M Nogler, Eckart Mayr

Abstract

High speed cutting and ultrasound devices for cement extraction from the femoral cavity in hip revision procedures are frequently used. Such devices generate heat at the cutting interface which may damage osteocytes. One ultrasound device, a manual high-speed cutter and a robot-based high-speed cutter were tested in human cadaveric bone at body temperature. Temperature probes were placed at the cement-bone interface, and data collected from 12 sensors with a digital data-logger during cement removal from the femoral cavity. Peak temperatures from each sensor were recorded and compared by Kruskal-Wallis-H-Test for global effect and Mann-Whitney-U-Test for multiple comparisons. All devices generated mean temperature peaks of over 50 degrees C which is above levels considered safe. A peak temperature of 164 degrees C was reached by the ultrasound system. Significant differences between the three devices exist, with the ultrasound generating the highest median peak temperatures of 107 degrees C. The lowest median peak temperature of 65 degrees C was generated by the high-speed cutting system.Major improvements of the irrigation and cooling systems of the devices seem to be necessary.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
