0 | Cell-sheet technology combined with a thienoindazole derivative small compound TD-198946 for cartilage regeneration | BMAC (Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate) | Articular cartilage is a permanent tissue, with poor self-regenerative capacity. Consequently, a tissue engineering approach to cartilage regenerative therapy could greatly advance the current treatment options for patients with cartilage degeneration and/or defects. A successful tissue engineering approach would requi... |
0 | Muscle relaxants for pain management in rheumatoid arthritis | SR for PM on OA of All Extremities | Background: Pain management is a high priority for patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Muscle relaxants include drugs that reduce muscle spasm (for example benzodiazepines such as diazepam (Valium), alprazolam (Xanax), lorazepam (Ativan) and non-benzodiazepines such as metaxalone (Skelaxin) or a combination of par... |

EVIDENCE ACQUISITION: A search of PubMed and Web of Science was performed up to January 2015. Only studies for diagnosis meniscal injuries by ultrasonography were included. The ... |
0 | A left knee wound complication by non-Hodgkins lymphoma in bilateral total knee arthroplasties | Surgical Management of Osteoarthritis of the Knee CPG | A 70-year-old woman with a history of bilateral primary knee osteoarthritis presented with a left knee wound complication, a non-Hodgkins lymphoma, after bilateral total knee arthroplasties. After exploring several etiologies, the evidence in this unusual case suggests a coincidental preexisting lymphoma |
0 | Median nerve compression in Weill-Marchesani syndrome | Diagnosis and Treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome CPG | Weill-Marchesani syndrome is a rare, generalized disorder of connective tissue manifested by short stature, brachymorphia, and spherophakia. Inheritance is autosomal recessive. In the less than 50 reported cases, joint stiffness in the hands and thenar atrophy have been noted in adults. A kindred is reported here in wh... |
0 | Knee salvage in revision arthroplasty after massive bone loss of the femur condyles (>/=Engh III) with a single-modular-hinged knee revision implant | PJI DX Updated Search | PURPOSE: Massive bone loss of the femur condyles in revision arthroplasty often requires modular-hinged revision implants to restore a stable joint situation. In the present series, the outcome after knee revision surgery using a single modular-hinged revision implant in patients with severe bone defects (>Engh III) is... |
