Why are tapes better than wires in knotless rotator cuff repairs? An evaluation...
Maia Dias, C; Gonçalves, SB; Completo, A; Tognini, M; da Silva, MR; Mineiro, J; Curate, F; Ferreira, F; Folgado, JKnotless repairs have demonstrated encouraging performance regarding retear rate reduction, but literature aiming at identifying the specific variables responsible for these results is scarce and conflictive. The purpose of this paper was to evaluate the effect of the material (tape or wire suture) and medial tendon passage (single or double passage) on the contact force, pressure and area at the tendon bone in...
Biomechanical analysis of metacarpophalangeal joint arthroplasty with metal-pol...
Melo, D; Completo, A; Nascimento, A; Fonseca, FThe most common implant options for the metacarpophalangeal joint arthroplasty include silicone, pyrocarbon and metal-polyethylene. A systematic review of outcomes of silicone and pyrocarbon implants was conducted; however, a similar exercise for metal-polyethylene implants revealed a scarcity of published results and lack of long-term follow-up studies. The aim of the present work is to test the hypothesis tha...
