The Science of Stapling: Staple Form
This study describes the technological advancements in surgical stapling from the perspective of staple and cartridge design, assessing the impact of staple design when it changes from the traditional B form (also known as 2D staple form) to a three-dimensional form (known as 3D staple form). The change in configuration helps compress a larger surface area of the tissue. The 3D configuration is designed to optimize compression not only underneath each staple but also across staples and multiple staple lines, including both stapled and unstapled regions of the tissue. By achieving more evenly distributed compression through...

An Overview of Research for the Application of a Novel Biofilm-Preventing Surgical Irrigation System for Total Joint Arthroplasty Procedures in Order to Reduce the Risk of Periprosthetic Infection
Surg Technol Int. 2024 Mar 28;44:sti44/1780. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPeriprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a serious postoperative complication in joint arthroplasty procedures that carries substantial morbidity and mortality associated with it. Several strategies have been developed both in the preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative periods to both combat and prevent the development of this devastating complication. Intraoperative irrigation is an important modality used during arthroplasty procedures prior to the implantation of final components that seeks to eradicate any biofilm formation. In this updat...

True Confessions of Neutral Mechanical Disciple-How I Learned to Love a Patient-Specific Target
CONCLUSION: The study revealed a change in alignment targets and final positioning of components away from neutral biomechanical axes in a large volume of TKAs by a single, classically trained surgeon over five years of using a robotic arm-assisted TKA system with CT-based planning. The most dominant factor for this change was the use of 3D CT planning, allowing the surgeon to assess patient-specific anatomy and plan accordingly. Outcome data is needed to determine if this change in behavior and surgical technique was beneficial. In summary, using a CT scan-based robotically assisted technique led to a gradual and complete...

Are Metal Ion Levels Elevated After Dual Mobility Acetabular Systems: Minimum Five-Year Analyses
CONCLUSION: The findings reveal that over a minimum of five years (average = six years; span, five to 10 years), cobalt and chromium concentrations in patients' systems remained within normal limits and were clinically insignificant, irrespective of the follow-up duration, head material, or implant specifications. This underscores the efficacy of dual mobility systems in ensuring minimal metal ion presence.PMID:38547433 (Source: Surgical Technology International)
