A 5-22-year follow-up study of stemmed alumina ceramic total elbow arthroplasties with cement fixation for patients with rheumatoid arthritis

Ceramics and ceramic coatings in orthopaedics

“…Al 2 O 3 has been the most widely used structural ceramic in total hip arthroplasty (THA) for the past approximately 50 years, typically in articulation against polyethylene [23] or itself [24,25]. Its success in THA led to its adoption in other joints including knee [26,27], elbow [28], ankle [29], wrist [30], phalanges [31], spine [32,33], and also bone reconstruction [34]. Industrial specifications for its composition, processing, and properties have been issued [35,36].…”

Mid-term results of alumina ceramic unlinked total elbow arthroplasty with cement fixation for patients with rheumatoid arthritis

“…25,33,43 Similar rates of ten-year cumulative survival of 88% for the Coonrad–Morrey, 89% for the GSBIII, 88% for the Capitello condylar (Johnson & Johnson, New Brunswick, New Jersey) and 72% for the Souter–Strathclyde TEA have been reported from the Danish National Joint Registry. 44 The cemented JACE TEA had a longer survival rate than the cementless JACE, 5 and the 99% survival rate for cemented JACE at 14 years was comparable to total knee or total hip arthroplasty. This is partly due to the fact that our patients are relatively low-demand rheumatoid patients.…”

“…The components are introduced as described for the SKC-I, 5 using a longitudinal posterior approach with the patient in the lateral position. The ulnar nerve is identified and dissected proximally and distally, but without routine anterior transposition.…”

“…An alumina ceramic unlinked elbow prosthesis was first designed in the late 1970s and had an anatomical articulation, based on a study of Japanese cadaveric elbows. 4 A mid- to long-term study of a cemented second-generation alumina ceramic unlinked elbow prosthesis, the stemmed Kyocera type I (SKC-I), 5 undertaken between 1987 and 1999, showed no breakage of the brittle ceramic trochlea. There were, however, major complications in 16 of 54 elbows (29.6%), including six with dislocation, four with aseptic loosening, three requiring revision surgery, and two requiring removal of components.…”

Восстановление Формы И Прочности Тел Грудопоясничных Позвонков Алюмооксидными Биокерамическими Гранулами

“…Компактные керамические материалы на основе оксида алюминия, благодаря их высокой прочности, износостойкости и инертности, получили практическое применение в современной травматологии и ортопедии преимущественно в виде составных элементов эндопротезов, замещающих суставы [15,26,40,50], также они распространены в стоматологии [20,49]. В литературе имеются публикации о применении материалов из алюмооксидной биокерамики в качестве опорных имплантатов при вентральном спондилодезе [2].…”
