Journal ArticleDOI
CT-guided radiofrequency ablation of osteoid osteoma and osteoblastoma: Clinical success and long-term follow up in 77 patients
Christoph Rehnitz,Simon David Sprengel,Burkhard Lehner,Karl Ludwig,Georg W. Omlor,Christian Merle,Hans-Ulrich Kauczor,Volker Ewerbeck,Marc-André Weber +8 more
TL;DR: RFA is a safe and effective long-lasting treatment of OO and OB including tumors in critical locations and in the coverage of larger tumors and Besides night pain, RFA also greatly improves other factors negatively affecting the quality of life.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term (20- to 25-year) results of an uncemented tapered titanium femoral component and factors affecting survivorship.
Marcus R. Streit,Moritz M. Innmann,Christian Merle,Thomas Bruckner,Peter R. Aldinger,Tobias Gotterbarm +5 more
TL;DR: Uncemented femoral fixation was reliable into the third decade and age, male sex, and diagnosis were not associated with a higher risk of aseptic loosening.
Journal ArticleDOI
Femoral offset is underestimated on anteroposterior radiographs of the pelvis but accurately assessed on anteroposterior radiographs of the hip
Christian Merle,Wenzel Waldstein,Elise Pegg,Marcus R. Streit,Tobias Gotterbarm,Peter R. Aldinger,David W. Murray,Harinderjit Gill +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that additional AP radiographs of the hip are obtained routinely for the pre-operative assessment of femoral offset when templating before total hip replacement, and Femoral offset is significantly underestimated on AP radiograph of the pelvis but can be reliably and accurately assessed on AP Radiology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of native anatomy with recommended safe component orientation in total hip arthroplasty for primary osteoarthritis.
Christian Merle,George Grammatopoulos,Wenzel Waldstein,Elise Pegg,Hemant Pandit,Peter R. Aldinger,Harinderjit Gill,David W. Murray +7 more
TL;DR: The findings of native acetabular and femoral orientation in patients with primary hip osteoarthritis support intraoperative component positioning for total hip arthroplasty and appear to be related to current implant insertion targets.
Journal ArticleDOI
CT-guided radiofrequency ablation of osteoid osteoma: correlation of clinical outcome and imaging features.
Christoph Rehnitz,Simon David Sprengel,Burkhard Lehner,Karl Ludwig,Georg W. Omlor,Christian Merle,Hans-Ulrich Kauczor,Volker Ewerbeck,Marc-André Weber +8 more
TL;DR: The long-term outcome of CT-guided RFA of osteoid osteoma is excellent and the treatment decisions should not be solely based on the imaging findings, but investigators should also be aware of the variety of imaging patterns after RFA.
