Advancements in total ankle replacement in the treatment of ankle osteoarthritis
(Turun yliopisto, 2025-05-23)
Total ankle replacement (TAR) outcomes have improved in treating ankle osteoarthritis, although complication rates are higher than for hip and knee arthroplasties. Modern implant designs are typically categorized into two ...
Reverse shoulder arthroplasty – factors affecting clinical results and risk of revision
(Turun yliopisto, 2025-04-25)
Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is increasingly used to treat painful cuff tear arthropathy (CTA), shoulder osteoarthritis (OA), and proximal humeral fractures (PHF). This non-anatomical procedure, featuring a convex ...
Registers in assessing complication and revision after hip arthoplasty
(Turun yliopisto, 2017-12-15)
Cemented low-friction arthroplasty, pioneered by Sir John Charnley, is the basis for modern total hip arthroplasty (THA). The Charnley THA is still considered as the gold standard against which new devices are compared. ...

(Turun yliopisto, 2020-10-23)
In cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA), femoral stems rely on the initial press‐fit fixation against the cortical bone to achieve osseointegration. In aging women, structural changes of the proximal femur may jeopardize ...
