Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery"
DOI: 10.1007/s00402-021-03882-4
Abstract: Both Patellofemoral Arthroplasty (PFA) and Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) are accepted surgical options for end-stage isolated patellofemoral osteoarthritis (PFOA). We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare outcomes of PFA and TKA by evaluation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00586-018-5506-3
Abstract: PurposePrevious studies did not specifically assess the influence of proximal femoral angle (PFA) on sagittal balance in high-grade spondylolisthesis (HGS). In addition, the relationship between PFA and quality of life (QOL) remains unknown. This study… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11249-019-1257-5
Abstract: Perfluoroalkoxy polymer (PFA)-α-phase alumina (α-Al2O3) composites have dramatically (~ 10,000 ×) improved wear resistance compared to unfilled PFA when tested in air. In this study, unfilled PFA and PFA-α-Al2O3 composites were tested using a linear… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.hrthm.2018.10.030
Abstract: BACKGROUND Radiofrequency (RF) has become an accepted energy source for myocardial ablation but may result in discontinuous lesions and nontargeted tissue injury. We examined the feasibility and safety of lesion formation using high-amplitude, bipolar pulsed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jacc.2020.07.007
Abstract: BACKGROUND Unlike for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF), pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) alone is considered insufficient for many patients with persistent AF. Adjunctive ablation of the left atrial posterior wall (LAPW) may improve outcomes, but is limited… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.petrol.2019.106556
Abstract: Abstract High molecular weight polyfluoroacrylate (PFA) is an amorphous, sticky, hydrophobic, oil-phobic, CO2-soluble homopolymer. 1 wt% PFA-in-CO2 solutions are four times as viscous as pure CO2. Although these solutions provided modest mobility control, unexpectedly large increases… read more here.
