Prostheses and Implants (Prosthesis)

Artificial substitutes for body parts, and materials inserted into tissue for functional, cosmetic, or therapeutic purposes. Prostheses can be functional, as in the case of artificial arms and legs, or cosmetic, as in the case of an artificial eye. Implants, all surgically inserted or grafted into the body, tend to be used therapeutically. IMPLANTS, EXPERIMENTAL is available for those used experimentally.

12/30/2020 - "PSI represents the most recent innovations introduced on the market of ankle arthroplasty:PSI is proposed as a surgical technique capable of making ankle arthroplasty more accurate and more reproducible compared to standard referencing guides Aim of the study is to report early clinical and radiographic outcomes obtained from a single surgeon experience by implanting the same ankle prosthesis using a standard (STD) or a PSI instrumentation Unlike no difference in the average increment of normalized sub score related to function in each group (PSI vs STD), the analysis of normalized pain sub score pointed out a greater average improvement in the PSI group(+75%)compared to the STD group(+62%);this result has been adovacated to the absence of post operative gutter impingement syndrome in the PSI group compared to the STD referencing group. "
02/01/2013 - "Most patients were satisfied with their prosthesis and described pain relief and improved mobility and better quality of life after surgery. "
12/01/2011 - "The prosthesis shows good results concerning pain relief and a reasonable to good function (>30° range of motion) of the FMTP joint in most patients. "
07/01/2006 - "This prosthesis can produce a significant reduction in pain and some improvement in function for most of the indications mentioned. "
01/01/1985 - "The best results regarding function and pain reduction have been obtained by the Neer prosthesis, but the lack of cranial support ("fornix humeri") and the ovalization of the head seem to be responsible for some cases of upward migration of the head of the prosthesis. "
