0 | Management of proximal femoral fractures in the presence of hip resurfacing arthroplasty: Peri-operative considerations and a meta analysis | SR for PM on OA of All Extremities | Periprosthetic fractures which occur in close proximity to an in situ hip resurfacing prosthesis can pose a technically demanding challenge to orthopaedic surgeons. While this is currently an uncommon problem, it is logical to assume that as the numbers of hip resurfacing arthroplasties increase, we are likely to see l... |
0 | Dentifrices containing new agents for the control of plaque and gingivitis: microbiological aspects | Prevention of Orthopaedic Implant Infection in Patients Undergoing Dental Procedures | Antimicrobial agents have been proposed as playing an important role in controlling plaque and gingivitis. Unfortunately, a large number of potential compounds are unsuitable for use in dentifrices because they lack "substantivity", produce undesirable side-effects, or are incompatible with toothpaste ingredients. New ... |
0 | Injuries to the elbow | Distal Radius Fractures | Presented is an outline of the anatomy, biomechanics and function of the elbow joint, as it relates to normal and sporting activities. A variety of elbow injuries, including fractures of the olecranon, radial head and distal humerus are presented with appropriate methods of treatment. The aim to return patients to earl... |
1 | Effectiveness of a web-based physical activity intervention in patients with knee and/or hip osteoarthritis: randomized controlled trial | OAK 3 - Non-arthroplasty tx of OAK | BACKGROUND: Patients with knee and/or hip osteoarthritis (OA) are less physically active than the general population, while the benefits of physical activity (PA) have been well documented. Based on the behavioral graded activity treatment, we developed a Web-based intervention to improve PA levels in patients with kne... |
0 | Causes and effects of surgical delay in patients with hip fracture: A cohort study | HipFx Supplemental Cost Analysis | Background: The clinical effect of surgical delay in older patients with hip fracture is controversial. Discrepancies among study findings may be due to confounding that is caused by the reason for the delay or a differential effect on patient risk subgroups. Objective: To assess the effect of surgical delay on hospita... |
0 | Is global quality of life reduced before fracture in patients with low-energy wrist or hip fracture? A comparison with matched controls | Management of Hip Fractures in the Elderly | BACKGROUND: The aims of the study were (i) to examine global quality of life (GQOL) before fracture in patients with low-energy wrist or hip fracture compared with an age- and sex-matched control group, and (ii) to identify relationships between demographic variables, clinical fracture variables, and health- and global... |
0 | The RM Pressfit vitamys: 5-year Swiss experience of the first 100 cups | Hip Fx in the Elderly 2019 | BACKGROUND: The RM Pressfit vitamys is a titanium particle-coated monoblock cup with vitamin E stabilised highly cross-linked polyethylene. Initial fixation is achieved via press-fit with subsequent stability by bone on-growth. This is the first study to report the 5-year results of this design.
METHODS: We performed a... |
1 | Impact of time to surgery in upper femoral fracture in orthogeriatrics | Hip Fx in the Elderly 2019 | INTRODUCTION: Treatment of hip fracture in the elderly is a major public health issue. Orthogeriatric departments have been developed for these patients at high risk of complications. Time to surgery seems to be an important factor in the care pathway, but remains controversial.
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to... |
0 | Special features of total knee replacement in hemophilia | OAK 3 - Non-arthroplasty tx of OAK | Total knee replacement is an operation frequently needed by hemophilia patients, which greatly improves their quality of life. This operation, however, carries a higher risk of bleeding and infection for hemophiliacs than it does for osteoarthritis sufferers. It is advisable to implant prosthetic components using antib... |
0 | Complex and revision arthrodesis of the ankle and hindfoot | DoD SSI (Surgical Site Infections) | Primary as well as revision arthrodesis procedures of the ankle are associated with a high rate of complications including nonunion, malunion, infection, wound healing problems, damage to nerves and blood vessels, and gait disturbance secondary to malposition, all of which have prompted the development of various techn... |
0 | Molecular signatures of age-associated chronic degeneration of shoulder muscles | Glenohumeral Joint OA | Chronic muscle diseases are highly prevalent in the elderly causing severe mobility limitations, pain and frailty. The intrinsic molecular mechanisms are poorly understood due to multifactorial causes, slow progression with age and variations between individuals. Understanding the underlying molecular mechanisms could ... |
0 | Antibiotic prophylaxis for infective endocarditis: ethical care in the era of revised guidelines | Prevention of Orthopaedic Implant Infection in Patients Undergoing Dental Procedures | Beginning in 1955, the American Heart Association recommended antibiotic prophylaxis among patients with certain structural heart diseases to decrease the likelihood of infective endocarditis (IE) following dental procedures. Over the ensuing 52 years, the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/... |
