Rotating knee prosthesis. Surface or hinge replacement?

Until the early 1990's our experience in Total Knee Replacement (TKR) was based on AGC 2000, Tricon M and MG implants. Starting from 1992 we decided to use a rotating knee prosthesis. At that time in Italy there were many knee replacement devices with rotating elements: Oxford, LCS, Rotaglide and Endomodel from Link. The Endomodel rotating prosthesis was our choice and between 1992 and 1995 we implanted 142 prosthesis of this type, 128 as primary replacement and 14 as TKR revision. The overall results were good or excellent in most of our cases (Fig. 1). During this period we had 6 dislocations of the device (Fig. 2) and 4 infections: 1 from our service and 3 coming from other hospitals.

[Diagnostic problems in impotence].

Every time we see a patient who is complaining of erectile failure we have to evaluate with proper exams the possible organic causes of this dysfunction. After having excluded the organic etiology we can speak of psychogenic impotence. The Authors describe a mixed type case and point out that a strict division between organic and psychological causes it's not always possible; besides it's better to try to understand the patient in his total structure.

[Sexuality in elderly men].

The era when the sexuality of the elderly male was a taboo subject to be avoided is long past. In fact a growing number of doctors, sociologists and psychoanalysts are investigating the sexuality of the elderly, partly in an attempt to counteract the mistaken view that all sexuality is pathological at that age. All authorities in fact agree that the elderly male may have a sex life, even though genital activity may diminish. Data are presented on the sexuality of a group of elderly men in good health and with an active interest in life. The survey indicates that sociological old age may not necessarily be synonymous in man with sexual old age.
