Does the Absence of Hydroxyapatite Coating on Cementless Acetabular Components Affect Long-Term Survivorship in Total Hip Arthroplasty?
The results suggested that HA coating did not have either beneficial or adverse effects on the long-term cup survival in primary cementless THA.
Optison did not cause clinically important changes in parameters of hemodynamic stability, cardiac performance, and oxygenation in our patients. The intraoperative use of intravenous Optison appears to be safe in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, including in the use of cardiopulmonary bypass.
