Control of Periprosthetic Joint Infections (Case No. 2021-334)

Summary: UCLA researchers in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery have developed a non-invasive method to disrupt biofilms on orthopaedic implants and decrease the overall rate of infections. Background: Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) remains a serious complication in hip and knee arthroplasty, with skyrocketing revision rates across all orthopaedic...

2019-252 Spinopelvic Mobility Sensor Guided Hip Arthroplasty Navigation System

SUMMARY:UCLA researchers from the Department of Orthopedic Surgery have developed sensors to assist surgeons in finding the ideal angle for a hip replacement. BACKGROUND:To reduce dislocation rates after hip surgery, understanding the spinopelvic motion (or how much the pelvis moves or “rolls back”) when a patient goes from a standing to...
