Failure to achieve this could lead suboptimal outcomes. The purpose of this study was to analyze the clinical and functional outcome of patients who demonstrated joint li... |
0 | Ultrasound detection of knee joint degeneration in patients with multiple sclerosis | OAK 3 - Non-arthroplasty tx of OAK | OBJECTIVE: Early degeneration of the knees might occur in patients with multiple sclerosis secondary to balance and walking impairment and muscle weakness. The aims of this study were to evaluate the knee joints of patients with multiple sclerosis compared with healthy controls, using ultrasono-graphy, and to investiga... |
0 | Pamidronate improves the quality of life and induces clinical remission of bone metastases in patients with thyroid cancer | MSTS 2018 - Femur Mets and MM | Skeletal metastases from thyroid cancer are poorly responsive to medical or radioiodine treatment. Bone destruction in skeletal metastases results from osteoclast-induced bone resorption. Therefore, a new approach in the therapy of bone metastases consists in using aminobisphosphonates, such as pamidronate, which are p... |
0 | Stabilized resection arthroplasty by an anterior approach in trapeziometacarpal arthritis: Results and surgical technique | Diagnosis and Treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome CPG | Resection arthroplasties were performed through a carpal tunnel incision in 72 hands of 57 patients with trapeziometacarpal joint arthritis and coexistent pathology of the anterior hand or wrist. Sixty-nine hands were followed for an average of 44 (range, 12-74 months). Pain relief was excellent in 60 hands, good in 7,... |
0 | Chronic compartment syndrome | DOD - Acute Comp Syndrome CPG | Chronic compartment syndrome (CCS) is a possible explanation of leg pain in the exercising patient. This review article provides background information on CCS, focusing on its most frequent site of occurrence, i.e., the lower leg. Clinical history, diagnosis, compartmental tissue pressure measurement, conservative ther... |
0 | Self-removing passive drain to facilitate postoperative care via telehealth during the COVID-19 pandemic | Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) | BACKGROUND: Telehealth postoperative visits are an attractive strategy to minimize exposure, especially during the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic. The use of a surgical drain often prevents this minimal-exposure approach in that patients return to the outpatient clinic for drain removal. METHODS AND RESULTS: Following ... |
0 | Brain abscesses caused by oral infection | Prevention of Orthopaedic Implant Infection in Patients Undergoing Dental Procedures | Brain abscesses are rare but can be life-threatening infections. Recent progress in microbiological classification and identification has indicated that they are sometimes caused by oral infection and dental treatment. It has been postulated that oral microorganisms may enter the cranium by several pathways: 1) by dire... |
0 | Satisfactory Results of the Exeter Revision Femoral Stem Used for Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty | Hip Fx in the Elderly 2019 | BACKGROUND: The Exeter cemented femoral stem has demonstrated excellent clinical and radiographic outcomes as well as long-term survivorship free from aseptic loosening. A shorter revision stem (125 mm) with a 44 offset became available for the purpose of cement-in-cement revision situations. In certain cases, this sho... |
0 | Is Src a viable target for treating solid tumours? | MSTS 2018 - Femur Mets and MM | Src was the first proto-oncogene to be discovered. Since then the role of Src has been extensively studied in vitro. Src is a key regulator of multiple signal transduction pathways and plays a significant part in cellular transformation. Dysfunction of Src, through overexpression or increased activation, has profound e... |
0 | Mediolateral coronal laxity does not correlate with knee range of motion after total knee arthroplasty | OAK 3 - Non-arthroplasty tx of OAK | INTRODUCTION: It remains controversial whether coronal laxity after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a critical factor in determining clinical outcomes such as knee range of motion (ROM). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the correlation between postoperative ROM and coronal laxity, which was defined as the ang... |
0 | Personal and psychosocial impacts of clinical fracture in men | DoD PRF (Psychosocial RF) | Background: Little is known about the personal burden of fracture across the age spectrum, particularly in men. This study aimed to document the impact of clinical fracture on menâ??s participation in employment, sports and outdoor recreation, mobility, handiwork, activities of daily living, home modification, and util... |
0 | Design modifications of high-flexion TKA do not improve short term clinical and radiographic outcomes | Surgical Management of Osteoarthritis of the Knee CPG | BACKGROUND: The prosthesis of contemporary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has been modified to provide a more familiar environment for higher flexion angle of the replaced knee. The design modifications continue based on evidence reported in the literature. However, whether these modifications of the prosthesis design l... |
0 | Thromboembolic disease prophylaxis in orthopaedic surgery: Use of mechanical compression devices | Surgical Management of Osteoarthritis of the Knee CPG | Due to the high incidence of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) following orthopaedic surgery, DVT prophylaxis is imperative. Because of the morbidity associated with these complications, it is essential to provide prophylaxis for DVT as well as pulmonary embolism. Currently there are various prophylactic modalities availabl... |
0 | Mortality after femoral neck fractures: a two-year follow-up | Management of Hip Fractures in the Elderly | BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: To identify the survival and standardized mortality ratio with respect to gender, age, and treatment method of patients treated for femoral neck fractures. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective review of medical records of 736 patients treated for femoral neck fractures at Vilnius University E... |
0 | The therapeutic outcome of minimally invasive synovectomy assisted with arthroscopy in the rheumatoid knee | Surgical Management of Osteoarthritis of the Knee CPG | The purpose of the present study was to retrospectively evaluate the therapeutic outcome of minimally invasive synovectomy assisted with arthroscopy (MISAA). From 1995 to 2003, MISAA was performed on 30 knees of 18 rheumatoid arthritis patients. The mean follow-up period was 74.4 months. Radiographic assessment accordi... |
0 | Characteristics and predictors of self-mutilation: a study of incarcerated women | DoD PRF (Psychosocial RF) | BACKGROUND: Research on self-mutilating behaviour and incarcerated adults has found that nearly 50% of people in prison participated in it (Holley and Alborleda-Florez, 1988). This is an enormous liability for the criminal justice system as well as a human concern.
AIMS/HYPOTHESES: The research question for this study ... |
1 | Arthroscopic Meniscal Repair: "Modified Outside-In Technique" | AMP (Acute Meniscal Pathology) | BACKGROUND: Despite the introduction of different techniques for meniscal repair, no single procedure is superior in all situations. The new method for meniscal repair named "modified outside-in technique" aims to achieve higher primary fixation strength by an alternative suture technique as well as avoid disadvantages... |
0 | Acetabular penetration of sliding screw | Management of Hip Fractures in the Elderly | Case report of disengagement of sliding screw from the plate and penetration through the acetabulum into the pelvic cavity. The mechanism was probably technical failure in combination with osteoporosis and a new trauma in the region. We find that it is possible to remove the screw through the old incision, but the pati... |
0 | Exposure to war trauma and PTSD among parents and children in the Gaza strip | DoD PRF (Psychosocial RF) | OBJECTIVE: Exposure to war trauma has been independently associated with posttraumatic stress (PTSD) and other emotional disorders in children and adults.
