tantalum/hemorrhage

Given the lack of studies of acetabular defect reconstruction in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) using tantalum augments, this study aims to evaluate clinical and radiographic results for treatment with tantalum augments to reconstruct acetabular defects in primary THA. We retrospectively

In the management and prognosis of severe accident cases there are a number of conditions that occur before hospitalization which cannot be influenced, these are: no immediate medical care by a physician, delay in sending the patient to hospital, long journey time and alcoholic damage to the liver

OBJECTIVE This study describes use of ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) dissolved in anhydrous dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and mixed with tantalum powder to achieve radiopacity as an effective, safe, and manageable embolic agent in endovascular treatment of artery haemorrhages. METHODS Twenty

BACKGROUND The failure of porous tantalum rods applied to patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) has been increasingly reported during the last few years. Very few studies have reported methods for implant removal. This study aimed at comparing 2 procedures used for the removal of a

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the moderate survival data of porous tantalum rod implants for the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). Additionally, some independent prognostic factors for conversion to total hip arthroplasty (THA) were identified. The porous tantalum

Background and purpose - Porous tantalum cups have been introduced as an alternative to various reinforcement rings in revision hip surgery. We hypothesized that porous tantalum cups would be superior to Müller acetabular roof reinforcement rings (MARRs) in revision hip surgery with re-revision for

OBJECTIVE To investigate a new method for the treatment adult early femur head necrosis in order to avoid further collapse and necrosis and improve the clinical symptoms. METHODS From January 2009 to June 2010, 10 hips of 9 patients, including 7 males and 2 females, aged from 29 to 63 years old

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a porous tantalum rod implant for the treatment of early femoral head necrosis. From April 2007 to June 2009, a total of 35 femoral head necrosis patients (with 49 hips) were treated with core decompression in combination with the insertion of a

OBJECTIVE To investigate methods and short-term effects on tantalum metal block for reconstruction of Paprosky type III severe acetabulum bone defect. METHODS Twelve patients (12 hips) with Paprosky type III severe acetabulum bone defect,treated with tantalum metal block in revision of total hip

In 15 human subjects, the vasa deferentia were occluded by applying two tantalum clips on one side and by conventional vasectomy with silk ligatures on the other. After 2 weeks, the occluded segments were recovered for histopathologic examination of serial sections. Obstructing the seminal tract did

OBJECTIVE To compare clinical effects of core decompression with stem cell transplantation and tantalum rod implanting in treating stage II non-traumatic osteonecrosis of femoral head. METHODS From March 2012 to September 2012, 45 patients(55 hips)with stage ARCO II non-traumatic osteonecrosis of

BACKGROUND Early stage osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) has many treatment options including core decompression with implantation of a tantalum rod. The purpose of this study was to evaluate clinical and radiological outcomes and potential complications during conversion total hip

The Strecker stent is a balloon-expandable, flexible endoprosthesis constructed of knitted tantalum wire and has been implanted successfully in peripheral arteries. This study presents the first multicenter experience with implantation of this radiopaque device in the coronary arteries in 64

Two cases of blow out fracture of the medial orbital wall were reported. The one was a 14 year-old boy and the other was a 32 year-old man. After hitting the eye against another man or a hard object, the patients felt diplopia, especially on lateral gaze toward the injured side. The blow out
