Two hundred and twenty-nine consecutive patients referred with chronic upper limb pain which had been labelled "repetitive strain injury" or "overuse syndrome" were assessed according to ... |
0 | Correlation between operative outcomes of cervical compression myelopathy and mri of the spinal cord | MSTS 2022 - Metastatic Disease of the Humerus | STUDY DESIGN: Magnetic resonance images of cervical compression myelopathy were retrospectively analyzed in comparison with surgical outcomes.
OBJECTIVES: To investigate which magnetic resonance findings in patients with cervical compression myelopathy reflect the clinical symptoms and prognosis, and to determine the r... |
0 | Efficacy of Cooled and Monopolar Radiofrequency Ablation of the Geniculate Nerves for the Treatment of Chronic Osteoarthritic Knee Pain | OAK 3 - Non-arthroplasty tx of OAK | This is a single center randomized controlled trial. Approximately 102 patients will be randomized to one of two treatment groups: cooled radiofrequency or conventional monopolar radiofrequency ablation. Patients with chronic knee pain, with moderate to severe osteoarthritis according to the Kellgrenâ?Lawrence scale f... |
0 | Histological evaluation of the osteoinduction capability of human dentine | Prevention of Orthopaedic Implant Infection in Patients Undergoing Dental Procedures | Aim To assess whether human dentine has the potential to promote the development of calcified tissues when implanted in the muscle tissue of mice. Methodology Root canals in extracted human teeth were instrumented to produce dentine fragments. The dentine fragments produced were divided into two. In group 1, fragments ... |
0 | Dorsal approach to scaphoid nonunion | Distal Radius Fractures | The surgical approach for treatment of scaphoid nonunion usually involves various combinations of screws and Kirschner wires, with or without bone grafts. This article reports our results with 36 dorsal-approach bone grafting procedures for treatment of scaphoid nonunion with Kirschner wires. Union was achieved in 89%.... |
0 | Meniscal Allograft Transplantation After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Can Improve Knee Stability: A Comparison of Medial and Lateral Procedures | AMP (Acute Meniscal Pathology) | BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical score and stability after meniscal allograft transplantation (MAT) after a previous anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.
HYPOTHESIS: Medial MAT would improve anteroposterior stability, and lateral MAT would improve rotational stability.

0 | The 'Gulf War syndrome'. Is there evidence of dysfunction in the nervous system? | Diagnosis and Treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome CPG | In a pilot study, 14 Gulf War veterans were randomly selected from a large list of those with unexplained illness, to compare the functional integrity of the peripheral and central nervous system with a group of 13 healthy civilian control subjects using predetermined outcome measures. The controls were matched closely... |
