Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing activity in joint replacement patients.
TL;DR: This study indicates that both the UCLA activity rating and the investigator visual analog scale are valid for routine activity assessment in a clinical setting.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative assessment of walking activity after total hip or knee replacement.
Thomas P. Schmalzried,Edward S. Szuszczewicz,Mark R. Northfield,Kenneth H. Akizuki,Ryan E. Frankel,Greg Belcher,Harlan C. Amstutz +6 more
TL;DR: Individual differences in the activity of the patient can be a substantial source of variability in rates of polyethylene wear in vivo, and the pedometer is an inexpensive investigational tool with many potential applications, including standardizing wear measurements of joint replacements on the basis of gait cycles rather than time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Total Hip Arthroplasty in Patients 50 Years and Younger
TL;DR: It was shown that long-term success can be achieved with cemented or cementless total hip arthroplasties in young patients, and the authors recommend that surgeons be much more critical of the components used in these patients and allow long- term data to guide their decisions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lessons learned from loosening of the mckee-farrar metal-on-metal total hip replacement
Christopher A. Zahiri,Thomas P. Schmalzried,Thomas P. Schmalzried,Edward Ebramzadeh,Edward S. Szuszczewicz,David Salib,Carrie Kim,Harlan Amstutz Md +7 more
TL;DR: Although it is hoped that improvements in the wear resistance of the bearing will increase survivorship, this experience and analysis of the McKee-Farrar total hip replacement illustrates the importance of the implant design, biomechanics of the reconstruction, and role of surgical implantation technique.
Journal ArticleDOI
Factors correlating with long term survival of McKee-Farrar total hip prostheses
Thomas P. Schmalzried,Edward S. Szuszczewicz,Kenneth H. Akizuki,Thomas D. Petersen,Harlan C. Amstutz +4 more
TL;DR: The results of this study suggest that patient selection and technical factors may contribute to the long term survival, and conversely to the failure, of McKee-Farrar implants.
