Total Knee Replacements with Long Interlocking Stems for
Extensive Bone Loss, Juan J. Rodrigo, MD, Jeff Nyman, Ph.D., Scott Hazelwood, Ph.D.
Introduction: Difficult total knee replacements occur when extensive bone loss exists, usually with revisions. We hypothesized that long stemmed interlocking prosthesis would provide a successful construct. Read

Treatment of Total Knee Replacements with Allergies Against
One or More Components, Juan J. Rodrigo, MD, Scott Southard, MD, Tonya Stott, Jennifer H. Miley, Paige Boatwright
Introduction: Evidence has accumulated that immune responses can occur against ions from metals, metal alloys, polyethylene, or methylmethacrylate (1-12). We hypothesized that some patients could be managed with non-operative treatment of the allergic reaction (methotrexate, immuran, azathioprine, etc.)We hypothesized that removing the materials responsible for the allergic reaction and revising with different materials would improve the status of the failed total knee, if non-operative treatment failed.

Predictors of Improved Quality of Cartilage Healing After
Microfracture Are Time, Increased Holes and Synovial Hypertrophy, Juan J. Rodrigo, MD, Deenesh Sahajpal, MD, Steven B. Singleton, MD, Alfred Kuo, MD, PhD, Kurt Anderson, MD, Kara B. Acampora
Introduction: It was hypothesized that healing after microfracture could be improved if more holes were used, more time was allowed for healing, and increased mesenchymal hypertrophy occurred at the edge of the cartilage. Read the abstract.
