Long-term performance of ceramic and metal femoral heads on conventional polyethylene in young and active patients: a matched-pair analysis.

Morteza Meftah et al.

The Journal of bone and joint surgery. American volume, 95(13), 1193-1197 (2013-07-05)

Ceramic femoral heads produce less wear of the opposing polyethylene than do metal femoral heads in wear simulation studies. This is a matched-pair analysis of the wear of ceramic and metal femoral heads on conventional polyethylene in uncemented total hip

Alternative bearings in total knee arthroplasty: risk of early revision compared to traditional bearings: an analysis of 62,177 primary cases.

Maria C S Inacio et al.

Acta orthopaedica, 84(2), 145-152 (2013-03-15)

There is no substantial clinical evidence for the superiority of alternative bearings in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We compared the short-term revision risk in alternative surface bearing knees (oxidized zirconium (OZ) femoral implants or highly crosslinked polyethylene (HXLPE) inserts) with

Plastic bags for prevention of hypothermia in preterm and low birth weight infants.

Alicia E Leadford et al.

Pediatrics, 132(1), e128-e134 (2013-06-05)

Hypothermia contributes to neonatal mortality and morbidity, especially in preterm and low birth weight infants in developing countries. Plastic bags covering the trunk and extremities of very low birth weight infants reduces hypothermia. This technique has not been studied in
