0 | The anti-tumour activity of bisphosphonates | MSTS 2018 - Femur Mets and MM | Bisphosphonates are stable analogues of pyrophosphate (PPi), an endogenous regulator of bone mineralisation. A number of placebo-controlled trials have demonstrated their positive impact on skeletal-related events (SRE) that occur as a consequence of metastatic or myelomatous bone disease. Based upon their chemical str... |
0 | 20-Year outcome of TFCC repairs | Distal Radius Fractures | The aims of this study were to investigate the functional result and rate of osteoarthritis 15-25 years after a TFCC-repair. Forty-seven patients completed the questionnaire Patient Rated Wrist Evaluation (PRWE), and 43 had new X-rays. Fifty-seven percent had a simultaneous arthroscopy. Sixteen patients had later addit... |

0 | Joint Stiffness Is Heritable and Associated with Fibrotic Conditions and Joint Replacement | OAK 3 - Non-arthroplasty tx of OAK | OBJECTIVE: Joint stiffness is a common, debilitating, age-related symptom, which may be seen after total joint replacement (TJR). Stiffness also occurs in fibrotic conditions such as shoulder capsulitis and Dupuytren's contracture. We speculated that the two traits (TJR and fibrotic disease) are linked pathogenically.

0 | Ropivacaine 1 mg x ml(-1) does not decrease the need for epidural fentanyl after hip replacement surgery | AAHKS (8) Anesthetic Infiltration | BACKGROUND: Ropivacaine is a new long-acting local anesthetic. Laboratory trials have demonstrated a synergistic analgesic effect between intrathecal opioids and local anesthetics. We tested the hypothesis that addition of ropivacaine 1 mg x ml(-1) to epidural fentanyl (10 microg x ml(-1)) postoperatively decreases the... |
