Limited data is available about the diagnostic accuracy of an accelerated knee MRI protocol based on parallel imaging evaluating all knee joint compartments in a large patient population compared to arthroscopy.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: ... |
0 | Cardiobacterium hominis endocarditis. Four cases with clinical and laboratory observations | Prevention of Orthopaedic Implant Infection in Patients Undergoing Dental Procedures | The clinical and microbiologic features of Cardiobacterium hominis endocarditis in four patients seen at the Mayo Clinic from 1971 through 1976 are described. All four were men ranging in age from 39 to 60 years. The precipitating factor in three was a dental procedure, and the illness was a prolonged, chronic one, wit... |
1 | Comparison of new design locked intramedullary nails and plate osteosynthesis in adult isolated diaphyseal radius fractures | Distal Radius Fractures | PURPOSE: In this study, we retrospectively evaluated patients with isolated diaphyseal radius fractures treated with plates or IMNs and compared their radiological and functional results.
METHODS: 49 patients who met the criteria were included in the study. Of these, 22 were treated with plate osteosynthesis and 27 wit... |
1 | Age, male sex, higher posterior tibial slope, deep sulcus sign, bone bruises on the lateral femoral condyle, and concomitant medial meniscal tears are risk factors for lateral meniscal posterior root tears: a systematic review and meta-analysis | AMP (Acute Meniscal Pathology) | PURPOSE: Lateral meniscus posterior root tears (LMPRTs) are commonly found in patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. However, risk factors for LMPRTs are not well known. This study was designed to systematically review the available evidence regarding risk factors associated with LMPRTs.
METHODS: The ... |
0 | Imaging features of bilateral breast abnormalities | Reduction Mammoplasty for Female Breast Hypertrophy | There are various-causes, broad-spectrum, heterogeneous groups with various biologic profiles, and imaging features of bilateral breast abnormalities. As imaging modalities continue to be developed, the ability to detect subtle or tiny abnormalities is improved in the contralateral breast of patients already diagnosed ... |
0 | Results of a randomized, placebo-controlled safety and efficacy study of topical diclofenac 3% gel in organ transplant patients with multiple actinic keratoses | Reconstruction After Skin Cancer | Increasing incidence rates of cutaneous malignancies, paralleling rising survival times of grafts and patients in organ transplant recipients, represents an escalating challenge for dermatologists worldwide. Especially, invasive squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) in immuno-compromised patients are characterized by signific... |
0 | Glaucoma of institutionalized geriatric patients | Upper Eyelid and Brow Surgery | 362 glaucomatous eyes of 213 institutionalized geriatric patients 66-100 year of age (83.9 +/- 6.9 year) were studied. Of the eyes with open angle glaucoma (77%, 279/362) 51% had capsular glaucoma (CG). Of the secondary glaucomas (9%) half were neovascular glaucomas. The visual acuity (VA) of 13 patients could not be d... |
0 | Compartment pressure monitoring - Current UK orthopaedic practice | DOD - Acute Comp Syndrome CPG | Debate continues over the use of compartment pressure monitoring devices in the diagnosis of compartment syndrome. We present the results of a survey that was designed to explore this issue. The majority of UK trauma and orthopaedic surgeons surveyed advocate making the diagnosis of compartment syndrome by a combinatio... |
1 | Macromastia: how much of it is fat? | Reduction Mammoplasty for Female Breast Hypertrophy | A total of 25 patients who underwent bilateral breast reduction were included in this study. Each patient's age, weight, height, and amount of breast tissue removed from each breast were recorded. The body mass index was calculated for each patient. On the day of the operation, tissue samples (two each) were taken from... |
0 | Use of simple algorithms to predict screw length facilitates navigation-controlled medial opening-wedge osteotomy using the TomoFix HTO system | Surgical Management of Osteoarthritis of the Knee CPG | This study was performed to establish simple algorithms to predict proper screw lengths for the 4 proximal holes of TomoFix plates (Synthes GmbH; Solothurn, Switzerland) based on radiographic mediolateral (ML) and anteroposterior (AP) dimensions of the proximal tibia and to determine how well these algorithms function ... |
0 | The effect of different anaesthetic techniques on the incidence of thrombosis following total hip replacement | AAHKS (9/10) Regional Nerve Blocks | We performed a retrospective analysis on the influence of three types of anaesthesia on the incidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) following total hip replacement (THR) in consecutive patients randomized to either the low molecular weight heparinoid Org 10172 (97 patients), or placebo (99 patients). Ninety patients we... |
0 | Spontaneous late dissociation of the tibial insert after high-flex posterior-stabilized Genesis II total knee arthroplasty | Surgical Management of Osteoarthritis of the Knee CPG | We report a rare complication of spontaneous late dissociation of the tibial insert 2 years after total knee arthroplasty using a high-flex posterior-stabilized Genesis II prosthesis (Smith & Nephew, Memphis, Tenn). It appears that 2 factors may have contributed to dissociation, namely, incomplete seating of the insert... |
0 | Dual head screw hip nailing for trochanteric fractures | Hip Fx in the Elderly 2019 | INTRODUCTION: There are limited information and inconclusive results for dual head screw intramedullary hip nails for trochanteric fractures.
