0 | Evaluation criteria for musculoskeletal and craniofacial tissue engineering constructs: a conference report | AMP (Acute Meniscal Pathology) | Over the past 20 years, tissue engineering (TE) has evolved into a thriving research and commercial development field. However, applying TE strategies to musculoskeletal (MSK) and craniofacial tissues has been particularly challenging since these tissues must also transmit loads during activities of daily living. To ad... |
0 | Decisions on drug therapies by numbers needed to treat: a randomized trial | HipFx Supplemental Cost Analysis | BACKGROUND: The number needed to treat (NNT) has been promoted as the preferred effect measure when patients and physicians share decision making. Our aim was to explore the impact of the NNT on laypeople's decisions about preventive drug therapies. METHODS: Two thousand subjects were selected for the survey; 1201 (60%... |
1 | Arthroscopic repair of isolated subscapularis tears: A prospective cohort with 2- to 4-year follow-up | Optimizing the Management of Full-Thickness Rotator Cuff Tears | PURPOSE: The goal of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of the arthroscopic repair of isolated subscapularis tears. Additionally, this study explores details of the clinical diagnosis, magnetic resonance arthrography findings, and surgical repair techniques. Type of Study: A prospective cohort. METHODS: The preope... |
0 | Reproducible fixation with a tapered, fluted, modular, titanium stem in revision hip arthroplasty at 8-15 years follow-up | PJI DX Updated Search | The use of tapered, fluted, modular, distally fixing stems has increased in femoral revision surgery. The goal of this retrospective study was to assess mid-term to long-term outcomes of this implant. Seventy-one hips in 70 patients with a mean age of 69. years were followed for an average of 10. years. Preoperative HH... |
0 | Evidence from data searches and life-table analyses for gender-related differences in absolute risk of hip fracture after Colles' or spine fracture: Colles' fracture as an early and sensitive marker of skeletal fragility in white men | Management of Hip Fractures in the Elderly | Based on data searches and life-table analyses, we determined the long-term (remaining lifetime) and short-term (10- and 5-year) absolute risks of hip fracture after sustaining a Colles' or spine fracture and searched for potential gender-related differences. In aging men, Colles' fractures carry a higher absolute risk... |
0 | Quality of life outcomes in revision vs primary total hip arthroplasty: a prospective cohort study | Surgical Management of Osteoarthritis of the Knee CPG | This study included 143 patients who had revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) and 144 patients who had primary THA. The primary outcome variable in this study was the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index scores. Univariate and multivariate regression models were used to assess the relationshi... |
