      <i>Introduction</i> - The current evidence on the efficacy of antibiotic-loaded bone cement (ALBC) in reducing the risk of periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) after primary joint reconstruction is insufficient. In several European countries, the use of ALBC is routine practice unlike in the USA where ALBC use is not approved in low-risk patients. Therefore, we designed a double-blinded pragmatic ...
    • Cementing techniques for total knee arthroplasty in Norwegian hospitals; a questionnaire-based study 

      Khan, Michelle; Gjertsen, Jan-Erik; Fenstad, Anne Marie; Refsum, Anders Myhre; Nguyen, Uy Viet; Hallan, Geir; Høl, Paul Johan; Furnes, Ove Nord (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-18)
      Background - Cementing technique in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) may influence implant survival. There is limited knowledge about the results with clinically used techniques. The aim of this study was to investigate cementing techniques for TKA in Norwegian hospitals, to compare widely used techniques to recommendations from the literature, and to investigate variation within hospitals.<p> <p>Methods ...
    • The Delta III and Delta Xtend reverse shoulder arthroplasty. Risk of revision and failure mechanisms: a report on 3,650 cases from the Norwegian Arthroplasty Register 1994-2021 

      Hole, Randi Margrete; Fenstad, Anne Marie; Gjertsen, Jan-Erik; Hallan, Geir; Furnes, Ove Nord (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-15)
      Background - The Delta reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is commonly used worldwide and is the most frequently used RSA in Norway. The aim of this registry-based study was to report 10- and 20-year implant survival, risk of revision, and reasons for revision in 2 consecutive time periods for Delta III (1994-2010) and Delta Xtend (2007-2021) prostheses.<p> <p>Methods - We included 3650 primary ...
    • Impact of total hip replacements on the incidence of hip fractures in Norway during 1999-2019. A NOREPOS study 

      Kjeldgaard, Helena Kames; Meyer, Haakon E.; O’Flaherty, Martin; Apalset, Ellen Margrete; Dahl, Cecilie; Emaus, Nina; Fenstad, Anne Marie; Furnes, Ove; Gjertsen, Jan-Erik; Hoff, Mari; Schei, Berit; Søgaard, Anne-Johanne; Tell, Grethe S.; Holvik, Kristin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-07-25)
      The knowledge about why hip fracture rates in Norway have declined is sparse. Concurrent with decreasing hip fracture rates, the rates of total hip replacements (THRs) have increased. We wanted to investigate if hip fracture rates continued to decline, and whether the increase in THRs had any influence on this decline, assuming that living with a hip prosthesis precludes fracture of the operated ...
    • The Maternal and Paternal Effects on Clinically and Surgically Defined Osteoarthritis 

      Weldingh, Eirik; Johnsen, Marianne Bakke; Hagen, Kåre Birger; Østerås, Nina; Risberg, May Arna; Natvig, Bård; Christensen, Barbara Therese Slatkovsky; Fenstad, Anne Marie; Furnes, Ove; Nordsletten, Lars; Magnusson, Karin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-06-25)
      <i>Objective</i> - It is currently unknown whether osteoarthritis (OA) is inherited mainly from the mother, father, or both. This study was undertaken to explore the effect of maternal and paternal factors on hip, knee, and hand OA in offspring.<p> <p><i>Methods</i> - Participants from the Musculoskeletal Pain in Ullensaker Study (MUST) (69% female; mean ± SD age 64 ± 9 years) and a Norwegian ...
    • Outcome of 881 total hip arthroplasties in 747 patients 21 years or younger: data from the Nordic Arthroplasty Register Association (NARA) 1995-2016 

      Halvorsen, Vera Baasland; Fenstad, Anne Marie; Engesæter, Lars B.; Nordsletten, Lars; Overgaard, Søren; Pedersen, Alma B.; Kärrholm, Johan; MOHADDES, MAZIAR; Eskelinen, Antti; Mäkelä, Keijo T.; Röhrl, Stephan Maximillian (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-05-15)
      <p><i>Background and purpose — </i>The literature is scarce on the outcome of the youngest patients with total hip arthroplasties (THAs). We analyzed register data, revision risk, and related factors in patients 21 years or younger with THAs in the Nordic Arthroplasty Register Association (NARA). <p><i>Patients and methods — </i>We included all THA patients 21 years or younger reported during 1995 ...
