Article Abstract
Dental implant treatment has been proven to be a successful therapy to rehabilitate single, partial, and fully edentulous sites. Evidence shows that the use of implant-supported restorations is predictable and can deliver long-term success. However, discontinuation of implant systems can be challenging for prosthesis maintenance. In this case report, a 70-year-old female patient presented to the implant department at New York University College of Dentistry with a press-fit implant with a one-piece cementable abutment that was placed more than 30 years prior. The patient's chief complaint was that the crown kept falling off. Upon evaluation, it was found that the implant was well-integrated in bone with no signs of infection. Explantation and replacement of the well-integrated implant was not considered the best option. An alternative approach was to address the retention of the abutment. The purpose of this case report is to demonstrate an intraoral technique for fabricating a custom cement-retained crown over a non-retentive one-piece press-fit implant.

Case Report: Double trabecular metal cup without auxiliary screws for severe acetabular bone defects.
Front Surg

Department of Orthopedics, The First Hospital of Jilin University, Changchun, Jilin, China.
Background: Acetabular reconstruction is often challenging in revision hip arthroplasty, especially in the face of moderate to severe acetabular bone deficiency. In some severe bone defects, double-metal tantalum cups can improve the contact area between bone and implants, increase the surface area for bone ingrowth, and better restore the anatomical position of the acetabulum. Furthermore, with a good press-fit, the auxiliary screw has a minimal effect on acetabular cup stability.

Introduction: The optimal fixation technique for patellar components in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA); cemented versus press-fit, remains controversial. While early press-fit designs were associated with complications, second-generation implants with improved osseointegration features have renewed interest in cementless fixation.
Methods: This systematic review included studies comparing cemented and press-fit patellar fixation in primary TKA.

Background: Radial head arthroplasty (RHA) has increasingly become the standard treatment for non-reconstructable radial head fractures, especially in young active patients where long-lasting function restoration is of paramount importance. However, long-term evidence of the results over time is still scarce. The purpose of this study was to document the long-term outcomes of RHA for acute radial head fractures.

Focal cartilage lesions of the tibial plateau present unique challenges due to limited regenerative potential and complex biomechanical demands. This Technical Note outlines an osteochondral allograft transplantation technique for treating isolated central defects of the lateral tibial plateau. Fresh donor allografts are precisely matched and prepared, with careful debridement and socket creation to ensure a stable press-fit implantation, secured with bioresorbable nails.

Objective: To evaluate whether femoral head diameter and head-to-neck ratio (HNR) influence prosthetic impingement-free motion (IFM) in canine total hip replacement (THR) using a press-fit cementless hip system in silico.
Methods: This was a descriptive study conducted from January through June 2025. Twenty-eight head-neck combinations were assembled using 3-D stereolithographic files of cementless THR implants (Universal Hip System; BioMedtrix).
