0 | Objective sound wave amplitude measurement generated by a tuning fork. An analysis of its use as a diagnostic tool in suspected femoral neck fractures | HipFx Supplemental Cost Analysis | INTRODUCTION: Hip injuries are becoming a more common problem as the elderly population increases and their management represents a significant proportion of health care costs. Diagnosis of a fracture based on clinical assessment and plain films is not always conclusive and further investigations for such occult fractu... |
0 | A systematic review and meta-analysis of lower limb neuromuscular alterations associated with knee osteoarthritis during level walking | SR for PM on OA of All Extremities | BACKGROUND: Neuromuscular alterations are increasingly reported in individuals with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) during level walking. We aimed to determine which neuromuscular alterations are consistent in KOA individuals and how these may be influenced by osteoarthritis severity, varus alignment and/or joint laxity. MET... |
1 | Management of dislocated hips with Pavlik harness treatment and ultrasound monitoring | Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip CPG | We studied the outcome of ultrasound-monitored Pavlik harness treatment of 47 infants (nine boys and 38 girls) with 55 frankly dislocated hips documented by dynamic ultrasonography. The success and failure groups were of similar ultrasound status (hip-status score) at the time of initial examination, but a significant ... |
0 | Simultaneous reconstruction of quadriceps tendon rupture after TKA and neglected Achilles tendon rupture | Surgical Management of Osteoarthritis of the Knee CPG | We report a case of simultaneous reconstruction of a quadriceps tendon rupture after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and neglected Achilles tendon rupture, which occurred before TKA with an ipsilateral hamstring autograft. A 64-year-old woman presented with persistent right knee pain. She also had right heel pain and had... |
0 | Measurement of carpal canal and median nerve pressure in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome | Diagnosis and Treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome CPG | Carpal tunnel syndrome is a compression neuropathy wherein the median nerve is compressed inside of the carpal canal. Its diagnosis is made clinically, electrophysiologically, and sometimes by carpal canal pressure measurement. The objective of surgical management of this condition is the decompression of the median ne... |
0 | Reconstruction of the frontal calvarian continuity in a child using a freeze-preserved autogenous bone graft | Prevention of Orthopaedic Implant Infection in Patients Undergoing Dental Procedures | Today, extended craniofacial defects in childhood can be treated by using modern techniques of bone banking and osteosynthesis, of particular importance when the restoration needs to consider calvarial growth. This is a report of an 8-year-old boy whose right frontal bone was removed during primary multidisciplinary tr... |
0 | Factors influencing prehospital and emergency department analgesia administration to patients with femoral neck fractures | Management of Hip Fractures in the Elderly | OBJECTIVES: To assess the analgesia practices of ambulance personnel and emergency department staff treating patients with fractured neck of femur. METHODS: This is a retrospective analysis of 176 patients with an admission diagnosis of fractured neck of femur, who presented to a major western Sydney teaching hospital,... |
0 | Three-dimensional imaging provides valuable clinical data to aid in unilateral tissue expander-implant breast reconstruction | Reduction Mammoplasty for Female Breast Hypertrophy | The current approach to breast reconstruction remains largely subjective and is based on physical examination and visual-estimates of breast size. Thus, the overall success of breast reconstruction is limited by the inability of plastic surgeons to objectively assess breast volume and shape, which may result in subopti... |
0 | Resection specimen analysis of proximal tibial anatomy based on 100 total knee arthroplasty specimens | Surgical Management of Osteoarthritis of the Knee CPG | Although it is known that there is some asymmetry of the tibial plateau, most total knee arthroplasty designs currently have a symmetric tibial component. Using resection specimen analysis of the tibial plateau from 100 total knee arthroplasty specimens, the authors have examined the tibial plateau to further delineate... |
1 | A randomised clinical trial of activity-focussed physiotherapy on patients with distal radius fractures | Distal Radius Fractures | INTRODUCTION: Physiotherapy is considered by some authorities to be an important aspect of management in patients following distal radius fractures. There is evidence of improvement in impairment with physiotherapy; however, there is no evidence to support early return of functional activity. Traditional physiotherapy ... |
0 | Description, reliability and validity of a novel method to measure carpal tunnel pressure in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome | Diagnosis and Treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome CPG | Elevated carpal tunnel pressure is an important pathomechanism in carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Several invasive methods have been described for direct measurement of carpal tunnel pressure, but all have two important limitations. The pressure gauge requires sterilisation between uses, which makes time-efficient data c... |
0 | Prediction of overgrowth in femoral shaft fractures in children | Pediatric Diaphyseal Femur Fractures 2020 Review | A prospective study of femoral shaft fractures in children under the age of 14 years has been carried out in 71 patients who were reviewed both clinically and radiographically at yearly intervals. The processing of data has been carried out by univariate and multivariate analysis.Femoral overgrowth (F.O.) averaged 8.63... |

A total of 901 people have been evaluated using: (1) Brie... |
0 | Gait patterns, symptoms, and function in patients with isolated tibiofemoral osteoarthritis and combined tibiofemoral and patellofemoral osteoarthritis | OAK 3 - Non-arthroplasty tx of OAK | The purpose of this study was to compare hip and knee biomechanics during walking in individuals with isolated tibiofemoral osteoarthritis (TFOA), combined TFOA and patellofemoral osteoarthritis (PFOA), and those without knee osteoarthritis (OA), and to compare patient-reported symptoms and function in individuals with... |
0 | A comparative analysis of the role of Tranexamic acid as an independent variable in reducing intraoperative blood loss in patients undergoing conventional total knee arthroplasty versus computer-assisted total knee arthroplasty | OAK 3 - Non-arthroplasty tx of OAK | BACKGROUND: Blood loss in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is an area of significant concern as it has an effect on patient morbidity and hospital stay. Among many different modalities to reduce blood loss, the use of Tranexamic acid has become a standard procedure nowadays. The aim of our study was to determine if Tranex... |
0 | Endoscopic carpal tunnel release in a community-based series | Diagnosis and Treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome CPG | A retrospective analysis of 61 endoscopic carpal tunnel releases was performed.
