📖 Electrosurgery Part 2 RF electrosurgery is commonly used in virtually all surgical disciplines including dermatological, gynecological, cardiac, plastic, ocular, spine, ENT, maxillofacial, orthopedic, urological, neuro- and general surgical procedures as well as certain dental procedures. RF electrosurgery is performed using a RF electrosurgical generator (also referred to as an electrosurgical unit or ESU) and a handpiece including one or two electrodes—a monopolar or bipolar instrument. All RF electrosurgery is bipolar so the difference between monopolar and bipolar instruments is that monopolar instruments comprise only one electrode while bipolar instruments include both electrodes in their design. The monopolar instrument called an "active electrode" when energized, requires the application of another monopolar instrument called a "dispersive electrode" elsewhere on the patient's body that functions to 'defocus' or disperse the RF current thereby preventing thermal injury to the underlying tissue. #Electrosurgery #monopolarinstrument #bipolarinstruments #electrosurgicalgenerator

Three-year contracts are becoming a successful practice at the MPU. This time, on behalf of the Ministry of health of Ukraine we have signed three-year contracts for the purchase of 35 types of medical devices for orthopedic, traumatology, and neurosurgical operations. Now we can be certain that medical devices will be available in hospitals for the next three years. The total value of the contracts – 750 million UAH. The first deliveries are expected by the end of autumn. In particular, the following medical devices are included: 🔹Knee and hip endoprostheses of both cemented and uncemented types for primary endoprosthesis 🔸Hip and knee joints for revision endoprosthesis 🔹Implants and tools for correcting complex scoliotic spine deformities 🔸Kirschner wire 🔹Intramedullary fixation (rods) 🔸Titanium meshes for cranioplasty etc. The procurement was carried out with significant savings. For instance, the expected cost for 286,134 units of Kirschner wires was 20.3 million UAH. This is a surgical instrument used to treat bone fractures. During the MPU auction, the price dropped to 6.5 million UAH, saving over 13 million UAH – https://bit.ly/4gQKhin. Additionally, the cost for various types of plates was reduced to 44.9 million UAH, saving over 150 million UAH – https://bit.ly/4etghYr. #medical #procurement #contracts #devices #orthopedic #traumatology #neurosurgical_operations #hospitals

🩺 Wondering how surgical arthroscopy can help with joint issues? This minimally invasive procedure allows surgeons to diagnose and treat joint problems using a small camera called an arthroscope. It’s commonly used for the knee, shoulder, hip, wrist, and elbow, helping with everything from meniscus repairs to rotator cuff injuries. With smaller incisions, less pain, and faster recovery times, arthroscopy means you can get back to your daily activities sooner—often without the need for a long hospital stay. Plus, it’s an effective solution for those struggling with joint pain, stiffness, or injuries that haven't improved with other treatments.

🔍 Exactech Knee Replacement Recall: What Orthopedic Surgeons Need to Know Recently, the recall of Exactech knee replacement devices has sparked widespread concern among patients and healthcare professionals alike. The recall affects thousands of patients who have received faulty implants, leading to early failure and complications such as bone loss, pain, and the need for revision surgery. This issue not only raises critical concerns about patient safety but also highlights the responsibility of orthopedic professionals in ensuring that patients are informed, supported, and provided with the best course of action. As orthopedic surgeons, how should we approach these cases? What considerations must be made in light of these recalls, especially when deciding on the best course of action for patients requiring revision surgeries? How can we maintain patient trust and navigate the legal and ethical responsibilities that arise from such situations? 💬 We encourage orthopedic professionals to share their thoughts on the impact of this recall. What strategies have you found effective when communicating with affected patients? How do you approach the challenge of balancing surgical intervention with patient autonomy and long-term outcomes? #ExactechRecall #OrthopedicSurgeons #KneeReplacement #PatientCare #SurgicalEthics #OrthopedicsCommunity

The lumbar total disc replacement (LTDR) market is one of the fastest growing segments in orthopedics. A recent landmark, 20-year retrospective clinical study from Texas Back Institute with over 2,000 patients demonstrated a low 1.26% removal/revision rate, supporting the long-term survivability of LTDR.

Lots of factors as to why LTDR has not captured the same market share as CTDR but longevity and outcomes in well-selected patients aren’t one of them. Awesome to see the long-term survivability data in the states mirror the EU.
