Outcome of revision surgery for failed primary Souter-Strathclyde total elbow prosthesis

Abstract

Total elbow arthroplasty is used for the treatment of the painful, destroyed elbow joint. With the increase in elbow replacement surgery in recent years, the number of revision surgeries will also increase. At our center, 236 primary Souter-Strathclyde total elbow prostheses have been placed. Twenty-four of these have been revised and were followed up for a mean of 74 months (range, 12-165 months). The postoperative clinical outcome after revision surgery can approximate the outcome after primary elbow replacement. Unfortunately, 8 elbows needed to be re-revised, 7 elbow prostheses loosened, and we had 1 early dislocation during follow-up. Three of the eight re-revised elbows had a third revision. Two other patients had a resection arthroplasty because of deep infection after the first revision. After 5 years, 73.8% of the revised elbow prostheses were still in situ. The lack of other satisfactory treatment options, combined with the satisfactory clinical results, justify revision surgery of elbow prostheses. The absence of intraoperative fracture during removal of the relatively small standard components and the availability of long-stemmed revision components, which facilitate fixation in the impaired bone, both support our p...Continue Reading

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.
