Design Thirty patients with no cartilage morphological defects reported by Whole Organ MRI Score (WORMS) magneti... |
0 | Determinants of bone mineral density and risk factors for osteoporosis in healthy elderly women | Distal Radius Fractures | Bone mineral density (BMD) and risk factors for osteoporosis were assessed in 348 apparently healthy women over 70 years of age (mean 82.3 years). BMD was measured at both hips and the dominant distal radius. With stepwise multiple regression the best determinants of BMD, selected from anthropometric measurements, age,... |
1 | Getting Better or Getting Well? The Patient Acceptable Symptom State (PASS) Better Predicts Patient's Satisfaction than the Decrease of Pain, in Knee Osteoarthritis Subjects Treated with Viscosupplementation | OAK 3 - Non-arthroplasty tx of OAK | Background In the management of knee osteoarthritis (OA), patient-reported-outcomes (PROs) are being developed for relevant assessment of pain. The patient acceptable symptom state (PASS) is a relevant cutoff, which allows classifying patients as being in "an acceptable state" or not. Viscosupplementation is a therapeu... |
0 | Anti-infective therapy in orthopaedics | Prevention of Orthopaedic Implant Infection in Patients Undergoing Dental Procedures | Successful treatment of musculoskeletal infection can be a challenge. It requires an understanding of clinical microbiology and anti-infective therapy, in addition to debridement and reconstructive surgery. In this article, the authors hope to provide practical guidelines for the prevention and appropriate diagnosis of... |
1 | The use of AlloDerm in postmastectomy alloplastic breast reconstruction: part I. A systematic review | Acellular Dermal Matrix | BACKGROUND: Postmastectomy alloplastic breast reconstruction is a common procedure that continues to evolve. Increasingly, AlloDerm is being used in both direct-to-implant and two-stage breast reconstruction. The objective of this systematic review was to summarize the outcomes from studies describing this use of AlloD... |
0 | New oral anticoagulants after total knee arthroplasty: Clinical considerations for orthopaedic surgeons | Surgical Management of Osteoarthritis of the Knee CPG | Patients who undergo total knee arthroplasty are at risk of developing venous thromboembolism. Thromboprophylaxis is widely accepted as standard of care in patients receiving total knee arthroplasty, but implementation of clinical practice guidelines is hampered by several barriers, including limitations of current age... |
0 | Results of internal fixation of Pauwels type-3 vertical femoral neck fractures | Management of Hip Fractures in the Elderly | BACKGROUND: It has been postulated that femoral neck fractures with a more vertical fracture line (i.e., a high Pauwels angle) may experience more shear forces and therefore may be predisposed to nonunion or loss of fixation. Although there is controversy regarding which fixation method is ideal, we are aware of no lar... |
1 | The Effectiveness of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation in Improving Voluntary Activation of the Quadriceps: A Critically Appraised Topic | OAK 3 - Non-arthroplasty tx of OAK | Clinical Scenario: Orthopedic knee conditions are regularly treated in sports-medicine clinics. Rehabilitation protocols for these conditions are often designed to address the associated quadriceps strength deficits. Despite these efforts, patients with orthopedic knee conditions often fail to completely regain their q... |
