Radiographic absorptiometry for pre-screening of osteoporosis in patients with low energy fractures
Management of Hip Fractures in the Elderly
Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) is the most accurate method and thus the method of choice for diagnosing osteoporosis. Due to the limited access to DEXA-scanners, screening of patients with low energy fractures (LEF) for osteoporosis is not routinely performed in Denmark. Pre-screening with a simple, less expen...

Abdominal compartment syndrome: the cause or effect of postinjury multiple organ failure
DOD - Acute Comp Syndrome CPG
Abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) has emerged to be a significant problem in patients who develop postinjury multiple organ failure (MOF). Current laboratory research suggests that ACS could be a second hit for the development of MOF. Recent studies demonstrate that ACS is an independent predictor of MOF and that th...

Prostatic tumor stroma: A key player in cancer progression
MSTS 2018 - Femur Mets and MM
Although it is evident that prostatic epithelial stem cells are responsible for maintaining normal and malignant tissues, it is well recognized that epithelial cells do not exist independently, but act in concert with the stromal microenvironment. Prostatic stroma is pivotal for normal development and homeostasis. The ...

Survival, Recurrence, and Function After Epiphyseal Preservation and Allograft Reconstruction in Osteosarcoma of the Knee
MSTS 2018 - Femur Mets and MM
Background: Bone tumor resections for limb salvage have become the standard treatment. Recently, intercalary tumor resection with epiphyseal sparing has been used as an alternative in patients with osteosarcoma. The procedure maintains normal joint function and obviates some complications associated with osteoarticular...

Dual mobility total hip arthroplasty in hemiplegic patients
Hip Fx in the Elderly 2019
INTRODUCTION: The rate of cerebrovascular insults is increasing, currently leaving many patients with difficulties to maintain their balance due to muscular weakness and/or poor central control. Those patients are at risk of dislocation when total hip arthroplasty (THA) is planned. Instability remains the most signific...

Knee closure in total knee replacement: A randomized prospective trial
Surgical Management of Osteoarthritis of the Knee CPG
A randomized prospective study of 75 total knee replacements in 64 patients who were randomized to capsular closure with the knee in full extension or in flexion was done. Thirty-one knees received a posterior cruciate ligament retaining prosthesis and 44 knees received a posterior stabilized prosthesis. Preoperatively...

Prospective Assessment of Outcomes After Primary Unipolar, Multisurface, and Bipolar Osteochondral Allograft Transplantations in the Knee: A Comparison of 2 Preservation Methods
Osteochondritis Dissecans 2020 Review
BACKGROUND: Articular cartilage lesions in the knee remain a challenging clinical problem. HYPOTHESIS: A novel graft preservation method combined with surgical technique and patient management improvements would lead to consistently successful outcomes after osteochondral allograft (OCA) transplantation. STUDY DESIGN: ...

Hybrid breast reconstruction-the best of both worlds
Acellular Dermal Matrix
The two common reconstructive modalities following mastectomy include implant-based reconstruction and autologous reconstruction. While the majority of patients can be successfully treated with either one of these approaches, a subset of patients will benefit from a third reconstructive approach which combines implant-...

Traumatic brain injury and long-term quality of life: findings from an Australian study
DoD PRF (Psychosocial RF)
Recent calls have been made for the inclusion of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in traumatic brain injury studies. This study reports the impact of TBI on traditional measures (general health, depression, social isolation, labor force participation), self-assessed health function status using the SF-36 version ...

Does early anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction prevent further meniscal damage secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial
AMP (Acute Meniscal Pathology)
Background/Purpose : It has been suggested that recurrent instability episodes in a non-reconstructed anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injured knee increase the risk for an incident meniscal tear. However, the evidence comes from observational studies with high risk on selection bias. Our objective was to determine dev...
