The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of biologic augmentation of rotator cuff repair with iliac crest bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). The prevalence of healing and prevention of re-tears were... more
Background: Patellofemoral joint management during total knee replacement remains a controversial topic among knee surgeons. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the influence of resurfaced patellar component tilt on the functional... more
Background Limiting the risk of dislocation is one of the main aims of both dual mobility and Lefèvre retentive cups. However, these devices have never been compared. The goal of our study was to compare these devices in total hip... more
We carried out a blinded prospective randomised controlled trial comparing 2-octylcyanoacrylate (OCA), subcuticular suture (monocryl) and skin staples for skin closure following total hip and total knee arthroplasty. We included 102 hip... more
