0 | Role of glucosamine in the treatment for osteoarthritis | AAHKS (4) Acetaminophen | Over the last 20 years, several studies have investigated the ability of glucosamine sulfate to improve the symptoms (pain and function) and to delay the structural progression of osteoarthritis. There is now a large, convergent body of evidence that glucosamine sulfate, given at a daily oral dose of 1,500 mg, is able ... |
0 | Addressing difficult areas in body contouring with emphasis on combined tumescent and syringe techniques | Reduction Mammoplasty for Female Breast Hypertrophy | The combined use of the tumescent and syringe techniques is a logical choice in addressing difficult areas in body contouring. Each technique complements the other. The magnification of the deformity by the tumescent technique allows for a more uniform and accurate contour correction. The syringe technique provides pre... |
0 | Epidemiology and direct medical costs of osteoporotic fractures in men and women in Switzerland | Management of Hip Fractures in the Elderly | The aim of this study was to estimate the hospitalization incidence and the total number of hospital days related to all fractures and osteoporotic fractures in the year 2000 in Switzerland and to compare these with data from other frequent disorders in men and women. The official administrative and medical statistics ... |
0 | Cutaneous and systemic hypersensitivity reactions to metallic implants | Prevention of Orthopaedic Implant Infection in Patients Undergoing Dental Procedures | Cutaneous reactions to metal implants, orthopedic or otherwise, are well documented in the literature. The first case of a dermatitis reaction over a stainless steel fracture plate was described in 1966. Most skin reactions are eczematous and allergic in nature, although urticarial, bullous, and vasculitic eruptions ma... |
0 | Side effects of corticosteroid injections: What's new? | AAHKS (2) Corticosteroids | The risk of sepsis with a hip or knee implant does not seem to be increased by prior joint injections, as long as the injection and surgery are separated by at least two months. Calcifications have been reported after intradiscal injection in the coccygeal region for coccydynia. Complete rest for 24. hours after inject... |
0 | Arthroscopic all-inside repair of tears of the anterior horn of the lateral meniscus | AMP (Acute Meniscal Pathology) | Presently, the outside-in or inside-out meniscal repair techniques are recommended for the repair of tears of the anterior horn of the lateral meniscus. However, an incision about 1 to 2 cm or more in length is needed, and the biomechanics of the lateral meniscus may be altered during motion. We have developed a new al... |
1 | Relevance of infiltration analgesia in pain relief after total knee arthroplasty | AAHKS (9/10) Regional Nerve Blocks | OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to assess the effect of different types of anesthesia on pain intensity in early postoperative period.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 87 patients (77 women, 10 men) scheduled for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) were assigned to receive either subarachnoid anesthesia alone or in combi... |
0 | Traditional and modern management strategies for rheumatoid arthritis | Dental Implant Infection | Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a serious disorder of the joints affecting 1 or 2% of the population aged between 20 and 50 years worldwide. RA is the foremost cause of disability in developing and Western populations. It is an autoimmune disease-causing inflammation and pain involving synovial joints. Pro-inflammatory ma... |
0 | Multiple myeloma of an extremity: must the entire bone be treated? | MSTS 2022 - Metastatic Disease of the Humerus | PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE: Radiation of the entire shaft of a long bone affected by multiple myeloma (MM) is often advocated to prevent recurrent disease in the bone remote from the symptomatic site. Our standard of care has been to irradiate only the symptomatic area. We investigated the pattern of recurrence in patients trea... |
0 | Variability in the surgical management of carpal tunnel syndrome: implications for the effective use of healthcare resources | Diagnosis and Treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome CPG | Medicine has been said to be as much art as science, where physicians invoke their individual skills and judgment to address the unique aspects of each presenting patient. Yet to what extent should physicians exercise their own discretion in determining the use rates of hospital resources? This article examines the res... |
0 | Meniscal repair results in inferior short-term outcomes compared with meniscal resection: a cohort study of 6398 patients with primary anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction | OAK 3 - Non-arthroplasty tx of OAK | PURPOSE: To compare patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) during the first postoperative year between isolated anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and ACL reconstruction with concomitant meniscal intervention.
METHODS: Patients who underwent primary ACL reconstruction at Capio Artro Clinic, Stockholm, S... |
0 | Effects of the type of meniscal lesion on knee function | AMP (Acute Meniscal Pathology) | The relationship between the type of meniscal lesion (bucket-handle, flap or degenerative tears) and preoperative knee function (5.1 +/- 6.2 days before arthroscopic meniscectomy) was studied in 35 patients. Patients with bucket-handle tears (group B, n = 12) had large knee extension work deficits during maximal volunt... |
0 | National survey of anaesthesia for hip and knee replacements | Surgical Management of Osteoarthritis of the Knee CPG | The National Joint Registry [1] provides the only national record of the type of anaesthesia used for hip and knee replacement surgery (THRs and TKRs) but this data is not validated and must be treated with caution [2]. As the type of anaesthesia for these operations remains a contentious issue we conducted the first n... |
0 | Hip replacement arthroplasty in rheumatoid arthritis | Prevention of Orthopaedic Implant Infection in Patients Undergoing Dental Procedures | Numerous factors conspire to make hip replacement arthroplasty for rheumatoid arthritis different from the same operation in osteo-arthritis. Patients are frequently younger, arousing fears that the patient will outlive the prosthesis. However this factor is more than counterbalanced by the constraints imposed by the d... |
0 | Does a pathway centred on regional anaesthesia improve outcomes in patients undergoing primary total knee arthroplasty? | Surgical Management of Osteoarthritis of the Knee CPG | Background and aims: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is effective treatment for end-stage osteoarthritis. Enhanced recovery protocols are increasingly used to improve patient outcomes post-operatively. Methods: We undertook a pilot project to enhance patient recovery by prospectively studying 54 patients undergoing prima... |
0 | Satisfying Results of Primary Hip Arthroplasty in Patients With Hip Dysplasia at a Mean Followup of 20 Years | PJI DX Updated Search | BACKGROUND: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a common cause of secondary osteoarthritis (OA) in younger patients, and when end-stage OA develops, a THA can provide a solution. Different options have been developed to reconstruct these defects, one of which is impaction bone grafting combined with a cemented ... |
0 | The cost-effectiveness of multi-component interventions to prevent delirium in older people undergoing surgical repair of hip fracture | HipFx Supplemental Cost Analysis | This article summarizes the detailed cost-effectiveness analysis of delirium prevention interventions in people undergoing surgical repair of hip fracture. We compared a multi-component delirium prevention intervention with usual care using a model based on a decision tree analysis. The model was used to estimate the i... |
