0 | Infection in primary hip arthroplasty after previous steroid infiltration | Surgical Management of Osteoarthritis of the Knee CPG | Steroid Infiltration into arthritic joints is a common means of treating pain. It is also sometimes done to differentiate pain in the hip from that in the low back or knee. We performed a retrospective review of the notes of all patients who had undergone hip replacements in Wrightington Hospital under the care of the ... |
0 | Changes in bone mineral density and bone turnover in patients on 'drug holiday' following bisphosphonate therapy: Real-life clinic setting | Hip Fx in the Elderly 2019 | Summary Objectives Treatment discontinuation after long-term bisphosphonate (BP), termed a 'drug holiday', has been proposed to reduce the risk of BP-associated complications. The duration of treatment cessation remains unclear. Changes in bone mineral density (BMD), bone turnover markers (BTMs) and their relationship ... |
0 | Effects of sudden, passive muscle shortening according to Grimaldi's method on patients suffering from multiple sclerosis: a randomized controlled trial | Management of Hip Fractures in the Elderly | PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the short-term effect of a therapeutical approach called "Grimaldi's method." The authors hypothesized that Grimaldi's method would improve active muscle recruitment. The treatment was focused on hip abductors. The authors collected data of hip's active range of mot... |
1 | A more stable posterior approach for hemiarthroplasty of the hip | Management of Hip Fractures in the Elderly | The dislocation rate following the insertion of a hemiarthroplasty of the hip via the posterior approach is variously quoted as between 8 per cent and 15 per cent. We set out to determine if this could be reduced by preserving the labrum and capsular structures at the time of surgery. We used a modification of the post... |
0 | Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in TKA treated with revision and direct intra-articular antibiotic infusion | PJI DX Updated Search | BACKGROUND: Resistant organisms are difficult to eradicate in infected total knee arthroplasty. While most surgeons use antibiotic-impregnated cement in these revisions, the delivery of the drug in adequate doses is limited in penetration and duration. Direct infusion is an alternate technique. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES: We a... |
0 | FX006 prolongs the residency of triamcinolone acetonide in the synovial tissues of patients with knee osteoarthritis | OAK Recommendation 9 Articles | Purpose: Intra-articular (IA) administration of triamcinolone acetonide injectable suspension (TCA IR) is commonly used to treat pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. FX006 is an extended-release IA formulation of TCA in poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microspheres that is intended... |
0 | The four medial ankle tunnels: a critical review of perceptions of tarsal tunnel syndrome and neuropathy | DoD LSA (Limb Salvage vs Amputation) | The mechanisms of symptom production (other than a space-occupying lesion) and the diagnosis of tarsal tunnel syndrome remain controversial. To understand the diagnosis and treatment of tarsal tunnel syndrome in the presence of neuropathy, the known anatomy and pathophysiology related to the tarsal tunnel and the exist... |
0 | Correlation of synovial tissue protein abundance with menopause in osteoarthritis | AMP (Acute Meniscal Pathology) | Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common articular disorder. Epidemiologic surveys show a higher prevalence of OA in women than men and that morbidity is higher during menopause. We aimed to explore whether menopause influences the clinical recovery of a knee joint following OA and injury, and identify associated me... |
0 | Antibacterial effect of chlorhexidine- containing glass ionomer cement in vivo: a pilot study | Prevention of Orthopaedic Implant Infection in Patients Undergoing Dental Procedures | This in vivo pilot study was carried out to test the antibacterial effect of glass ionomer containing chlorhexidine (test group) in comparison to conventional glass ionomer (control group). Fifty 6- to 11-year-old children with one occlusal lesion in a molar were randomly allocated to test and control groups in a paral... |
0 | The role of children's routines of daily living, supervision, and maternal fatigue in preschool children's injury risk | DoD PRF (Psychosocial RF) | The purpose of this study was to (a) explore the relationship between the lack of everyday routines and children's unintentional injuries, (b) examine two mechanisms of effect through which lack of routines might operate, children's sleep and maternal supervision, and (c) explore the influence of maternal fatigue in ro... |
0 | Subcutaneous Bioavailability of Taspoglutide at 3 Different Injection Sites in Healthy Overweight/Obese Subjects | DoD SSI (Surgical Site Infections) | Purpose Taspoglutide is a long-acting glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist that has >90% homology with the endogenous GLP-1 while retaining equivalent potency. Once-weekly subcutaneous injections with taspoglutide demonstrated meaningful antihyperglycemic and weight loss effects in patients with type 2 diab... |
1 | Proximal femoral nail antirotation and third-generation Gamma nail: which is a better device for the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures? | Hip Fx in the Elderly 2019 | INTRODUCTION: Proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) and third-generation Gamma nail (Gamma 3) are widely used in the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures. However, it remains unclear which device achieves better clinical and radiographic outcomes when treating intertrochanteric fractures.
METHODS: This study co... |
0 | Low-energy subtrochanteric fractures in elderly patients: results of fixation with the sliding screw plate | Management of Hip Fractures in the Elderly | Forty-two patients with subtrochanteric fractures were treated from 1987 through 1990. Of these, 31 patients above 70 years of age (average, 81.9) had nonpathologic low-energy fractures that were internally fixed with a sliding screw-plate device. Subtrochanteric fractures with an associated intertrochanteric component... |
0 | Clinical and demographic factors associated with fractures among older Americans | Management of Hip Fractures in the Elderly | Summary: Medicare claims data were used to investigate associations between history of previous fractures, chronic conditions, and demographic characteristics and occurrence of fractures at six anatomic sites. The study confirmed previously established associations for hip and spine fractures and identified several new... |

1 | Post-bariatric abdominoplasty: skin sensation evaluation | Panniculectomy & Abdominoplasty CPG | BACKGROUND: The number of bariatric surgeries is progressively increasing in the USA and in Brazil. The number of post-bariatric plastic surgeries also increases as a response to this phenomenon. Abdominoplasties performed in former morbidly obese patients present a larger number of postoperative complications. Studies... |
1 | Hemarthrosis after trauma to the pediatric knee joint: what is the value of magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnostic algorithm? | Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries CPG | In children, compulsory arthroscopy for hemarthrosis after knee trauma is not justified because ligamentous and meniscal damage is rare. In a prospective study, we analyzed the diagnostic value of radiography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and arthroscopy in 51 patients up to 14 years of age with acute knee trauma.... |
