Is polyethylene thickness a risk factor for wear necessitating insert exchange?
In conclusion we therefore advise against the use of thin PE inserts in modular TKA and recommend PE inserts with a minimal 8-mm thickness.
The data suggest a causal relationship between stress-induced abnormal CST function and loss of fine motor performance. Thus, ancestral stress may be a determinant of motor system development and motor skill. Environmental enrichment may represent an effective intervention for the adverse programming by ancestral stress and trauma.
