People are not only taking more dietary supplements, but taking them without the advice of a health care provider. With the lack of educ... |
0 | Custom intramedullary intercalating device for treatment of supracondylar fracture between constrained total knee arthroplasty and well-fixed total hip arthroplasty | Surgical Management of Osteoarthritis of the Knee CPG | Management of periprosthetic fractures between ipsilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and total hip arthroplasty (THA) is difficult, and is further complicated in the setting of poor femoral bone stock. We present a case of supracondylar fracture between THA and long-stemmed TKA femoral components in a patient with ... |
0 | Posturography and dynamic pedobarography in lame dogs with elbow dysplasia and cranial cruciate ligament rupture | OAK 3 - Non-arthroplasty tx of OAK | Background: The usefulness of studying posture and its modifications due to locomotor deficiencies of multiple origins has been widely proven in humans. To assess its suitability in the canine species, static posturography and dynamic pedobarography were performed on lame dogs affected with unilateral elbow dysplasia a... |

Eighty-three ex-elite female athletes (67 middle and long distance runners, 16 tennis players, currently aged 40-65) were recruited from the o... |
0 | Promontory of radius: A new anatomical description on the distal radius | Distal Radius Fractures | Surgical treatment of distal radius fractures with palmar plates has gained popularity as the preferred approach to achieve anatomical fracture reposition. One hundred and thirty four radii of human cadavers were examined to elucidate the anatomy of the distal radius, especially the transition of the anterior into the ... |
0 | Patellofemoral problems following total knee arthroplasty | Surgical Management of Osteoarthritis of the Knee CPG | We reviewed 350 knee arthroplasties performed between 1977 and 1984 for patellar problems. Seventeen knees with four types of patellofemoral complications were found. The diagnosis in both the group of 350 and the study group of 17 knees was evenly distributed between rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. The compli... |
0 | Liposuction: the tumescent technique | Panniculectomy & Abdominoplasty CPG | The tumescent technique involves the removal of moderate to large amounts of fat from several body areas in an office setting using only local anesthesia. The technique eliminates significant blood loss, rendering transfusion unnecessary. Less bruising and swelling, more even fat removal, and decreased expense are othe... |
0 | Phantom limb related phenomena and their rehabilitation after lower limb amputation | DoD LSA (Limb Salvage vs Amputation) | This paper reviewed the various hypotheses on phantom limb and phantom limb pain as well as all the related rehabilitation techniques to control these symptoms. The uncertainty in their pathophysiology strongly affects all the rehabilitation approaches so far used, as no single parameter has been found to predict or co... |
1 | Comparison of snakebite cases in children and adults | DOD - Acute Comp Syndrome CPG | OBJECTIVE: There are very few studies that compare the snakebite cases in children and adults. The present study aimed to compare the demographic characteristics, clinical presentations, laboratory findings, and developed complications in pediatric and adult patients due to snakebites. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This study ... |
1 | Femoral press-fit fixation technique in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using bone-patellar tendon-bone graft: a prospective clinical evaluation of 285 patients | Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries CPG | BACKGROUND: The security of the graft fixation is an important factor of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, especially in the early postoperative period. HYPOTHESIS: The femoral press-fit fixation technique is a safe, alternative technique for the fixation of the bone-patellar tendon-bone graft. STUDY DESIGN: C... |
1 | Endoscopic versus open surgical treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome | Diagnosis and Treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome CPG | The impact of CTS is significant as evidenced by the fact that only back injuries result in greater rates of employee absenteeism in the workplace. CTR is now the most commonly performed surgical procedure in the United States. Earlier efforts using open surgical techniques were associated with significant morbidity, w... |
0 | Pirogoff ankle disarticulation as an option for ankle disarticulation | DoD LSA (Limb Salvage vs Amputation) | Eleven patients (12 ankles) who had Pirogoff ankle disarticulation were followed up for an average of 5.6 years (range, 2.1-8.9 years). After disarticulation of the Chopart joint, the talus was removed and the calcaneus was cut off in the coronal plane. The heel then was rotated 90 degrees to the tibial plafond. The po... |
0 | Anatomical variations of the carpal tunnel structures | Diagnosis and Treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome CPG | There are many anatomical variations in and around the carpal tunnel that affect the nerves, tendons and arteries in this area. Awareness of these variations is important both during the clinical examination and during carpal tunnel release. The purpose of the present review is to highlight recognized anatomical variat... |
0 | Functional considerations in aesthetic eyelid surgery | Upper Eyelid and Brow Surgery | BACKGROUND: Aesthetic eyelid surgery involves intricate techniques to improve the appearance of the periorbital region. In the presence of preoperative ptosis, lower lid laxity or malposition, prominent eyes, and xerophthalmia (dry eyes), patients are at an increased risk of developing postoperative complications such ... |
0 | Sustainability of Forefoot Reconstruction for the Rheumatoid Foot | DoD SSI (Surgical Site Infections) | Ninety percent of patients with rheumatoid arthritis will display foot and ankle pathologic features, including hallux valgus, lesser metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint subluxation/dislocation, and hammertoe deformity. Recently, a trend has ensued toward joint preservation with distal metatarsal osteotomies and various bu... |
0 | Role of MR imaging in acute injuries to the appendicular skeleton | DOD - Acute Comp Syndrome CPG | Clinical applications of MR imaging in the setting of acute extremity injuries are discussed in general and by anatomic regions. General indications include physeal injuries, occult fractures, stress fractures, musculotendinous injuries, and ligamentous injuries. Indications of MR imaging in the acute injury setting ha... |
0 | Rapid remineralization of the distal radius after forearm fracture in children | Distal Radius Fractures | Background: Bone mineral content (BMC) and density (BMD) have been shown to diminish after fracture and immobilization in adults. Distal radius fractures are common in children, and unlike adults, there is a low incidence of refracture. The primary aim of this study was to assess the change in radial BMC and BMD after ... |
0 | Joint space width measures cartilage thickness in osteoarthritis of the knee: high resolution plain film and double contrast macroradiographic investigation | AMP (Acute Meniscal Pathology) | OBJECTIVE: To test reliability of joint space width (JSW) measurements as a predictor of cartilage thickness in knees of patients with osteoarthritis (OA), using high definition microfocal radiography.
METHOD: JSW was measured from weight bearing plain film macroradiographs taken in the tunnel view and compared with th... |
0 | Transdermal fentanyl for improvement of pain and functioning in osteoarthritis: a randomized, placebo-controlled trial | Surgical Management of Osteoarthritis of the Knee CPG | OBJECTIVE: Although common treatments for osteoarthritis (OA) pain, such as nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), simple analgesics, and weak opioids, provide relief in some cases, they fail to control pain or are poorly tolerated in many cases. Strong opioids have been used to successfully treat several types ... |
0 | Risk factors for erectile dysfunction in patients with urethral strictures secondary to blunt trauma | DoD PRF (Psychosocial RF) | Introduction: Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a well-known consequence of pelvic fracture, particularly in cases involving urethral injury. There are several risk factors that may be related to ED. However, no systemic approach is used to assess erectile function secondary to urethral trauma. Aim: To investigate ED associ... |
