Abstract Background Commercially-available microprocessor-controlled prosthetic knees are unable to fully replicate the biomechanical function of the missing biological limb. While powered prostheses have the capacity to...

ABSTRACT Background The geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) is a simple index for evaluating malnutrition, but whether it contributes to the development of prosthesis aseptic loosening (PAL) after total joint arthrop...

Stemless shoulder arthroplasty has the advantage of reducing stem related complications while allowing for  anatomic restoration of proximal humerus independently from the humeral canal and diaphyseal axis and preservin...

Introduction and aim: In line with global and national goals to improve healthcare access and quality, this study projected prosthetic needs in young adults to guide prevention, training, and staffing at KAUDH. Methods: ...

Abstract Objectives The objectives of this study were: (1) to compare the incidence of effective orifice area (EOA) after either the trans-catheter and surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR); and (2) to assess the impa...

Introduction: Computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) have transformed modern dentistry, yet evidence from the Caribbean remains limited. Objective: To assess CAD/CAM adoption among dentists in t...

Aim: This study aimed to compare the clinical and radiological outcomes of cemented versus cementless femoral stems in patients undergoing hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fractures.Material and Methods: This study incl...

Introduction and Aims: This study evaluated the effect of implant angulation on the accuracy of digital impressions for 3-unit implant-supported fixed partial dentures obtained with 2 intraoral scanners. Methods: Three p...

Abstract Background The aim of this study was to evaluate the color matching and metameric behavior of two different composite resins applied to titanium surfaces anodized to yellow and pink colors. The study aimed to de...

Aim: To investigate whether RhoA/ROCK pathway genes (RHOA, ROCK1, ROCK2) are differentially expressed in tunica albuginea of patients with congenital penile curvature (CPC) relative to Peyronie's disease (PD) and erectil...

Abstract Upper-limb prosthesis users usually lack comprehensive feedback or touch. This significantly hinders their ability to interact with their environment and lead normal lives. This research involves the development...

The determination of the optimal prosthesis alignment for maximum patient comfort is an important rehabilitation goal, especially for lower limb amputees, where the assessment of biomechanics is complex. Despite this, qu...
