Description: 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.

1.	Infection 01/01/2004 - "In acute infection, immediate revision with excision of all infected tissue and exchange of the prosthesis with appropriate antibiotic therapy gave the best results. " 06/01/1996 - "The procedure is considered to be extremely effective for the management of a drastic infection involving thoracic aortic prosthesis." 09/01/1995 - "All 11 prosthetic joint infections were ultimately clinically cured; for most of these patients, the original prosthesis was removed. " 02/01/1986 - "These infections require early treatment and can be cured with preservation of the prosthesis in the most successful cases. " 09/01/1976 - "The Guepar prosthesis was used in the worst knees and gave the best results, but it had the highest infection rate and was the most difficult to salvage. " Order ALL the reference details at left...
2.	Pain (Aches) 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. " 01/01/2004 - "A total of 95.6% of the patients rated chewing ability with Ankylos prosthesis as excellent to good; 92.2% indicated a significant improvement in their ability to chew; 92.6% reported overall clinical function much better than conventional dentures; 99.1% indicated that speech had improved or was not changed; 96.3% indicated hot and cold foods tasted better; 98.8% indicated no pain or discomfort during clinical function; 99.4% liked their new implant prosthesis; 98.0% would seek implant-prostheses treatment again, if necessary; 99.1% would recommend implant prostheses to friends and relatives; and 98.8% indicated the advantages of Ankylos prostheses far exceeded any disadvantages that may exist. " 01/01/1983 - "They show that a replacement arthroplasty with a Swanson type prosthesis, imparts considerable benefits to the patient in the form of complete disappearance of pain, improvement in function, and a more normal looking hand, in spite of radiologic deterioration." 02/01/1999 - "The data from this study, in which the minimum duration of follow-up was six years, indicate that the anatomically designed prosthesis can provide good results, with low prevalences of pain in the thigh and loosening of the component, in younger, active patients."

3.	Thrombosis (Thrombus) 07/01/2004 - "Redesigning the prosthesis eliminated valve related mortality and significantly reduced the thrombus grade. " 01/01/1998 - "Thrombosis of a mechanical tricuspid valve prosthesis and of the left subclavian vein: successful therapy with thrombolysis." 05/01/1983 - "However, indications of red cell damage after heart valve replacement were significantly greater in patients with perivalvular leakage, valve thrombosis, or dysfunction than in those with normally functioning prostheses. " 01/01/2003 - "[Effective treatment of thrombosis of the aortal valve prosthesis]" 01/01/2009 - "Knowledge of the localization of initial thrombus formation on the prosthesis may help to improve valve design. " Order ALL the reference details at left...
4.	Pathologic Constriction (Stenosis) 11/01/1999 - "Airway prostheses provide an excellent method for providing relief for patients with malignant or benign stenoses. " 04/01/2009 - "The treatment of bronchial stenosis with a self-expandable prosthesis showed good results." 01/01/1996 - "CONCLUSIONS: Percutaneous insertion of a prosthesis in the treatment of infundibular stenosis had achieved good results in the case described herein, although a larger series and long-term follow-up are required to determine the usefulness of this approach." 06/01/1988 - "As this process of myocardial remodeling occurs, continued improvement in cardiac function may occur, and the improvement occurring between the intermediate and late postoperative studies at a slight but constant afterload excess (inherent in the relative stenosis of the aortic prosthesis) suggests that the hypertrophied myocardium is operating at a reduced level compared with normal myocardium." 08/01/2005 - "Although aortic valve replacement (AVR) is an effective treatment for patients with aortic valvular disease, the implantation of a small aortic prosthesis may result in residual left ventricular outflow stenosis and transvalvular gradient. " Order ALL the reference details at left...
5.	Dislocations 01/01/1996 - "Although these data demonstrate improved stability after total hip arthroplasty when an elevated liner is used, particularly in hips that are at greater risk for dislocation of the prosthesis, the long-term effect of this elevated liner on wear and loosening remains unknown but is of considerable concern. " 11/01/1999 - "CONCLUSION: It is effective to treat a patient suffering old fracture-dislocation of hip joint complicated with deformed healing of the upper 1/3 of fractured femur by means of individualized artificial joint replacement and a prosthesis body with lock for femur intra-medullary fixation, and it is helpful for the development of a new clinical idea to reconstruct functions in the management of some particular cases." 04/01/1992 - "Hemiarthroplasty with a cementless, porous-coated, long-stem prosthesis can be effective treatment for this complex fracture dislocation." 11/01/1979 - "The prosthesis has been particularly effective in the group with an associated posterior dislocation of the elbow." 03/01/2009 - "One knee with a mobile-bearing prosthesis had a dislocation of the rotating bearing; however, spontaneous reduction occurred and the dislocation did not recur.
