Abstract
Quadrupled arthroplasties of the lower limb are required mostly in cases with chronic and severe inflammatory arthritis. There may be a requirement of additional surgery for the foot and ankle or joints of an upper limb, especially in inflammatory arthritis, to improve the functional outcomes. The patient's self-motivation and patient selection for four joint arthroplasties are necessary for favorable outcomes. Surgical technique, prosthetic design, and postoperative rehabilitation play a vital role in functional outcomes. More multicenter, large series and registries are required with long-term follow-up in the future to frame the clinical practice guidelines.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Arthroscopy and Joint Surgery (JAJS) is committed to bring forth scientific manuscripts in the form of original research articles, current concept reviews, meta-analyses, case reports and letters to the editor. The focus of the Journal is to present wide-ranging, multi-disciplinary perspectives on the problems of the joints that are amenable with Arthroscopy and Arthroplasty. Though Arthroscopy and Arthroplasty entail surgical procedures, the Journal shall not restrict itself to these purely surgical procedures and will also encompass pharmacological, rehabilitative and physical measures that can prevent or postpone the execution of a surgical procedure. The Journal will also publish scientific research related to tissues other than joints that would ultimately have an effect on the joint function.
