1 | Congenital dislocation of the hip: a prospective study comparing ultrasound and clinical examination | Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip CPG | Screening for congenital dislocation of the hip by standard clinical methods and ultrasound was compared prospectively in 1503 newborns (1291 girls and 212 boys). A total of 82.8% of the hips (78.8% of the infants) had well developed acetabulae, 14.5% (17.2% of the infants) were shallow (immature) and 2.7% (4.1% of the... |
0 | Epidural morphine after anterior cruciate ligament repair: a comparison with patient-controlled intravenous morphine | Surgical Management of Osteoarthritis of the Knee CPG | To compare the management of postoperative pain using morphine administered by epidural catheter with intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (PCA), we prospectively studied 47 consecutive cases involving repair of the anterior cruciate ligament of the knee. Both the quality of analgesia and the incidence of side effe... |
0 | Prediction of instability in distal radial fractures | Distal Radius Fractures | BACKGROUND: Effective methods of treating an unstable distal radial fracture are described in the literature, but there is no reliable method of identifying an unstable fracture in time to initiate appropriate treatment. The purposes of this study were to identify the predictors of fracture instability and to construct... |
0 | The EUROP total knee prosthesis: A ten-year follow-up study of a posterior cruciate-retaining design | PJI DX Updated Search | Introduction: The success of total knee arthroplasty is measured by pain relief, functional recovery, and implant survival duration.The aim of the present study was to evaluate the long-term clinical, functional and radiological results of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL)-retaining fixed bearing EUROP implant. Hyp... |
0 | Diagnostic strategy for elderly patients with isolated greater trochanter fractures on plain radiographs | Hip Fx in the Elderly 2019 | BACKGROUND: Isolated greater trochanter (GT) fractures are relatively rare and few studies have assessed the appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for these fractures. When initial plain radiographs show an isolated GT fracture, underestimation of occult intertrochanteric extension may result in displacemen... |
1 | Ankle fractures in patients with diabetes mellitus | DoD SSI (Surgical Site Infections) | Diabetes mellitus is considered an indicator of poor prognosis for acute ankle fractures, but this risk may be specific to an identifiable subpopulation. We retrospectively reviewed 42 patients with both diabetes mellitus and an acute, closed, rotational ankle fracture. Patients were individually matched to controls by... |
0 | Skin cancer in the elderly | Reconstruction After Skin Cancer | With the significant increase in the average life-span in the industrial world, skin cancer has become a great health concern. There are various epidemiological, biological and molecular data suggesting that skin cancer is predominantly a disease of the elderly, since approximately 53% of skin cancer-related deaths occ... |
1 | A randomised controlled trial comparing bipolar hemiarthroplasty with total hip replacement for displaced intracapsular fractures of the femoral neck in elderly patients | Management of Hip Fractures in the Elderly | The best treatment for the active and lucid elderly patient with a displaced intracapsular fracture of the femoral neck is still controversial. Randomised controlled trials have shown that a primary total hip replacement is superior to internal fixation as regards the need for secondary surgery, hip function and health... |
0 | Prognostic value of BRAF(V???) mutations in melanoma patients after resection of metastatic lymph nodes | Reconstruction After Skin Cancer | PURPOSE: BRAF (V600) mutations are frequent in melanomas, and BRAF(V600)-targeted therapy have dramatic, but often transitory, efficacy in stage IV patients. Prognosis of patients with American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) stage III melanoma is heterogeneous. We aimed to determine the overall survival (OS) of stage... |
