Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of a mechanical acetabular alignment guide with computer placement of the socket
Anthony M. DiGioia,Branislav Jaramaz,Anton Y. Plakseychuk,James E. Moody,Constantinos Nikou,Richard S. LaBarca,Timothy J. Levison,Frederic Picard +7 more
TL;DR: There is a clear need to develop more reliable tools than were used or anatomically based alignment strategies to provide reproducible and accurate acetabular alignment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mini-incision technique for total hip arthroplasty with navigation
TL;DR: Patients in the mini-incision group had significant improvement in limp and ability to climb stairs compared with the traditional group, and there was no significant difference between groups for pain, function, or range of motion at the 1-year follow-up examination.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional pelvic orientation measured from lateral standing and sitting radiographs.
TL;DR: There were substantial variations in pelvic orientation when comparing standing and sitting for an individual patient and between different patients, and this variation can be unpredictable, and may influence implant alignment and stability after total hip arthroplasty.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Balance Exercise Program Appears to Improve Function for Patients With Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Sara R. Piva,Alexandra B. Gil,Gustavo J. Almeida,Anthony M. DiGioia,Timothy J. Levison,G. Kelley Fitzgerald +5 more
TL;DR: Fasibility of the balance training in people with TKA was supported by high exercise adherence, a relatively low dropout rate, and no adverse events, and both groups demonstrated clinically important improvements in lower-extremity functional status.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contribution of Hip Abductor Strength to Physical Function in Patients With Total Knee Arthroplasty
Sara R. Piva,Paulo E.P. Teixeira,Gustavo J. Almeida,Alexandra B. Gil,Anthony M. DiGioia,Timothy J. Levison,G. Kelley Fitzgerald +6 more
TL;DR: Hip abductor strength influenced physical function in participants more than did demographic or anthropometric measures or quadriceps strength, and if findings are replicated, they will justify targeting the hip abductors during rehabilitation after TKA.
