0 | Change in the use of hormone replacement therapy and the incidence of fracture in Oslo | Management of Hip Fractures in the Elderly | Fracture incidence in Oslo decreased from the 1970s to the 1990s in younger postmenopausal women, but not in older women or in men. Concurrently, hormone replacement therapy increased considerably. Using data from the Oslo Health Study, we estimated that roughly half the decline might be attributed hormone replacement ... |
0 | The middle radioulnar joint and triarticular forearm complex | Distal Radius Fractures | The forearm is composed of the radial and ulnar shafts, which are linked by the interosseous membrane and intercalated between the elbow and wrist. The radius and ulna are connected by three joints, the proximal, middle, and distal radioulnar joints. The forearm ensures pronation/supination and longitudinal load transf... |
0 | Surgical approaches to the posteromedial and posterolateral aspects of the knee | AMP (Acute Meniscal Pathology) | Surgical approaches to the posterior aspect of the knee are not commonly needed, and their use has become even rarer with the increasing sophistication of arthroscopic technology. As a result, physicians in orthopaedic surgical training are not often exposed to the practical use of surgical dissection around the poster... |

0 | Effects of intra-articular SHINBARO treatment on monosodium iodoacetate-induced osteoarthritis in rats | OAK 3 - Non-arthroplasty tx of OAK | BACKGROUND: SHINBARO is a refined herbal formulation used to treat inflamed lesions and bone diseases. This study aimed to investigate the anti-osteoarthritic activities of intra-articular administration of SHINBARO and determine its underlying molecular mechanism in a monosodium iodoacetate (MIA)-induced osteoarthriti... |
0 | Extended applications of the reamer-irrigator-aspirator (RIA) system | MSTS 2018 - Femur Mets and MM | While the RIA system was initially designed for reaming and clearing the femoral canal contents in preparation for femoral nailing, it has since been used in various other applications in the field of orthopaedic surgery. The RIA is an ideal device for accessing large quantities of autogenous bone graft, to be used in ... |
0 | Epinephrine and clonidine do not improve intrathecal sufentanil analgesia after total hip replacement | AAHKS (8) Anesthetic Infiltration | BACKGROUND: We compared analgesia after intrathecal sufentanil alone, sufentanil with epinephrine 200 microg and sufentanil with clonidine 30 microg in patients after total hip replacement, the endpoints being onset and duration of action.
METHODS: We performed a randomized double-blind study of 45 patients for electiv... |
0 | Carpal tunnel syndrome caused by Mycobacterium szulgai | Diagnosis and Treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome CPG | We describe 2 cases of infection due to Mycobacterium szulgai revealed by a carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) that was the only clinical manifestation. Both patients regularly cleaned their fish tank with bare hands. The diagnosis was made by isolation of M. szulgai from synovium. The cause of the CTS was a synovitis. Previ... |
0 | Noninvasive radio frequency for skin tightening and body contouring | Panniculectomy & Abdominoplasty CPG | The medical use of radio frequency (RF) is based on an oscillating electrical current forcing collisions between charged molecules and ions, which are then transformed into heat. RF heating occurs irrespective of chromophore or skin type and is not dependent on selective photothermolysis. RF can be delivered using mono... |
0 | Bovine viral diarrhea virus cyclically impairs long bone trabecular modeling in experimental persistently infected fetuses | MSTS 2018 - Femur Mets and MM | Persistent infection (PI) with bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) has been associated with osteopetrosis and other long bone lesions, most commonly characterized as transverse zones of unmodeled metaphyseal trabeculae in fetuses and calves. This study was undertaken to characterize the morphogenesis of fetal long bone ... |
0 | Longstanding nonunions of scaphoid fractures with bone loss: successful reconstruction with vascularized bone grafts | Distal Radius Fractures | Vascularized bone graft from the dorsum of distal radius was used to treat 22 nonunions of scaphoid fractures, with a mean delay of 4 years from the initial injury. Four of the eight patients with associated scapho-styloid arthritis also underwent a closing wedge osteotomy of the distal radius. Follow-up time ranged fr... |
