Total Hip and Total Knee Replacement

Harris, William H., Sledge, Clement B.·1990·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

Replacement of the arthritic knee now has clinical results that equal or exceed those of hip replacement in terms of pain relief, satisfactory function, and survival of the implant after 10 years.77 , 78 These results have not been achieved by any one person or center, but by the combined efforts of engineers and surgeons from many countries. There has been a slow evolution of concepts, techniques, and designs over the past 30 years, with enormous strides in the past 15 years.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
