"Created" patella in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) after prior patellectomy
Surgical Management of Osteoarthritis of the Knee CPG
Currently, total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is one of the most successful orthopaedic surgeries. However, the results are inferior in patients with previous patellectomy because of anteroposterior instability, residual pain, and loss of the mechanical advantage of the patella. The moment arm of the quadriceps can be resto...

Deep fascia of the foot. Anatomical and clinical considerations
DoD - ACS - Interrater Reliability
The deep fascia of the foot lies beneath the subcutaneous tissue and surrounds the intrinsic foot muscles. Depending on its location, the composition of the deep fascia varies. In some areas it is thin, while in other areas it is greatly thickened to form retinacula and the plantar aponeurosis. Selected clinical consid...

Post-acute pathways among hip fracture patients: a system-level analysis
Hip Fx in the Elderly 2019
BACKGROUND: Hip fractures among older adults are one of the leading causes of hospitalization and result in significant morbidity, mortality, and health care use. Guidelines suggest that rehabilitation after surgery is imperative to return patients to pre-morbid function. However, post-acute care (which encompasses reh...

Cement augmentation of the proximal femoral nail antirotation for the treatment of osteoporotic pertrochanteric fractures--a biomechanical cadaver study
PJI DX Updated Search
INTRODUCTION: Proximal femoral fractures will gain increasing importance in the future due to the epidemiological development. Osteoporosis is often a limiting factor in the achievement of implant stability. New nailing systems offer the possibility of augmentation of the femoral neck component with cement. The aim of ...

Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw in oncological patients with skeletal metastases: conservative treatment is effective up to stage 2
MSTS 2018 - Femur Mets and MM
There is currently no widespread strategy for treating medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ), so our aim was to evaluate retrospectively the outcome of a minimally invasive treatment protocol for patients with both MRONJ and cancer. We designed a retrospective cohort study of patients with cancer who had ...

Factors for Blood Transfusions Following Hemi Hip Arthroplasty for Patients With Femoral Neck Fracture
DoD SSI (Surgical Site Infections)
Background: Hemi hip arthroplasty is one treatment option for femoral neck fractures; however, there has been limited evidence on factors associated with blood transfusions following hemi hip arthroplasty. Hence, the aim of this study was to identify the predictors of blood transfusion after hemi hip arthroplasty, whic...

Age and ACL reconstruction revisited
Surgical Management of Osteoarthritis of the Knee CPG
To determine the age limitations for indicating ACL reconstructions in patients with functional instability, this article reviews the results of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions in 23 patients with an average age of 54 years (range: 49-64 years). Patients were evaluated with the Lysholm and Gillquist kn...

Imaging of Anatomical Variants Around the Knee
AMP (Acute Meniscal Pathology)
Several anatomical variants have been described in the knee. These variants may involve intra- and extra-articular structures, such as menisci, ligaments, plicae, bony structures, muscles, and tendons. They have a variable prevalence, are generally asymptomatic, and are usually discovered incidentally in knee magnetic ...

Knowledge of General Dentists and Senior Dental Students in Iran about Prevention of Infective Endocarditis
Prevention of Orthopaedic Implant Infection in Patients Undergoing Dental Procedures
Infective endocarditis (IE) is an infection of the endothelial surface of the heart and heart valves with serious, even fatal, complications and that often requires long-term and expensive treatment. Dental procedures may lead to IE in high-risk patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the knowledge ...

Tibial lengthening using a retrograde magnetically driven intramedullary lengthening device in 10 patients with preexisting ankle and hindfoot fusion
Pediatric Supracondylar Humerus Fracture 2020 Review
Background and purpose - Motorized intramedullary lengthening nails (ILNs) have been developed as an alternative to external fixators for long bone lengthening. The antegrade approach represents the standard method for tibial ILN insertion. In patients with preexisting ankle and hindfoot fusion a retrograde approach pr...

Simulating activities of daily living with finite element analysis improves fracture prediction for patients with metastatic femoral lesions
MSTS 2018 - Femur Mets and MM
Predicting fracture risk for patients with metastatic femoral lesions remains an important clinical problem. Mirels' criterion remains the most formalized radiographic scoring system with good sensitivity (correctly identifying clinical fractures) but relatively poor specificity (correctly identify cases that do not fr...

Rheumatoid arthritis: preoperative evaluation for total hip and total knee replacement surgery
Surgical Management of Osteoarthritis of the Knee CPG
The role of total joint replacement surgery remains significant in the contemporary management of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), despite the impact of potent biologic and synthetic disease-modifying drugs. Patients with RA have a systemic polyarticular disease, with extra-articular manifestations such as anem...

A newly developed bisphosphonate, YM529, is a potent apoptosis inducer of human myeloma cells
MSTS 2018 - Femur Mets and MM
We examined the effect of YM529, a newly developed third-generation bisphosphonate (BP), on the growth of human myeloma cell lines using the trypan blue dye exclusion test and Alamar blue assay. BPs induced inhibition of proliferation in all cell lines dose-dependently, and YM529 had a most potent growth inhibitory eff...

Unfavourable short-term outcomes of a poly-L/D-lactide scaffold for thumb trapeziometacarpal arthroplasty
Glenohumeral Joint OA
The bioabsorbable poly-L-D-lactide joint scaffold arthroplasty is a recent attempt in the reconstruction of small joints in rheumatoid patients. In this study, we analysed the 1-year clinical, functional and radiologic results of partial trapeziectomy with the poly-L-D-lactide (96/4) joint scaffold in 23 patients with ...

Total knee arthroplasty in Asian subjects: preoperative range of motion determines postoperative range of motion?
Surgical Management of Osteoarthritis of the Knee CPG
To evaluate whether preoperative range of motion is a key determinant of postoperative range of motion in Asian patients undergoing conventional total knee arthroplasty. A retrospective review of 302 patients who underwent primary total knee arthroplasty performed by a single surgeon was conducted. Patients who had a f...

Total knee arthroplasty in the management of proximal tibial stress fractures
Surgical Management of Osteoarthritis of the Knee CPG
Five patients with stress fractures of the proximal tibia adjacent to an arthritic knee joint were treated by resurfacing arthroplasty with intramedullary fixation of the fracture. All five fractures healed and limb realignment was achieved. The literature concerning proximal tibial stress fractures in relation to the ...

Reduction mammaplasty with a vertical bipedicle and transverse scar: a follow up
Reduction Mammoplasty for Female Breast Hypertrophy
A technique for reduction mammaplasty has been developed. The method has been used in 174 patients and the complications and final results have been analysed. If a transverse scar can be accepted the method gives an attractive, predictable shape, with very few complications and very little morbidity.

Arthroscopic surgery in children
AMP (Acute Meniscal Pathology)
Arthroscopic surgery for children and adolescents is developing fast, thanks to technical progress in adult arthroscopy, improved knowledge of child joint disorders, and instrument miniaturization. The specificity of arthroscopy in children lies, on the one hand, in the small joint size and, on the other, in the presen...
