0 | Diagnostic properties of the SPIQuestionnaire to detect Posterior Circumflex Humeral Artery Disease in elite volleyball players: a cross-sectional study | Glenohumeral Joint OA | OBJECTIVES: Sports related aneurysmal degeneration and thrombosis of the Posterior Circumflex Humeral Artery (PCHA) has been known to cause symptoms of digital ischemia (DI) in elite volleyball players. Studies have reported symptoms of DI in as much as 28% of the elite indoor volleyball players. The purpose of this st... |
0 | Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in hip fracture | Hip Fx in the Elderly 2019 | AIMS: Infection after surgery increases treatment costs and is associated with increased mortality. Hip fracture patients have historically had high rates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) colonization and surgical site infection (SSI). This paper reports the impact of routine MRSA screening and the... |
1 | Physical activity and quality of life: A study of a lower-limb amputee population | DoD PRF (Psychosocial RF) | This cross-sectional descriptive study was initiated to investigate the relationship between physical activity and perceived quality of life in a lower-limb amputee population. The objective was to show which aspects of physical activity were most strongly linked to quality-of-life factors in this special patient group... |
0 | Pharmacological Treatment of Pain in Osteoarthritis: A Descriptive Review | PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) | Purpose of Review: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis that is characterized by loss of articular cartilage and new formation of bone. Pain and functional disability are common features that lead to disability and poor quality of life. This review discusses the current state of knowledge concerning... |
0 | Intercalary allograft reconstructions using a compressible intramedullary nail: a preliminary report | MSTS 2022 - Metastatic Disease of the Humerus | BACKGROUND: Although intercalary allograft reconstructions are commonly performed using intramedullary devices, they cannot generate compression across host-allograft junctions. Therefore, they sometimes are associated with gap formation and suboptimal healing conditions.
QUESTIONS/PURPOSES: We describe a new technique... |
1 | Glenoid or not glenoid component in primary osteoarthritis | Glenohumeral Joint OA | The optimal choice for the treatment of end-stage primary glenohumeral osteoarthritis remains controversial, with alternatives including total shoulder replacement (TSR) and humeral head replacement (HHR). The objective of this review is to analyze the effect of TSR compared with HHR on rates of pain relief, range of m... |
0 | Gait mechanics in those with/without medial compartment knee osteoarthritis 5 years after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction | OAK 3 - Non-arthroplasty tx of OAK | The objective of the study was to evaluate differences in gait mechanics 5 years after unilateral anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery, for non-osteoarthritic (n = 24) versus osteoarthritic (n = 9) subjects. For the involved knee, the osteoarthritic group demonstrated significantly lower peak knee flexion ... |
0 | Transformation of MEG ERD/ERS signal between different head positions using Signal Space Separation method | Diagnosis and Treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome CPG | Transformation of magnetoencephalographic (MEG) signal between different head positions can be performed with Signal Space Separation (SSS) method. The objective of this study was to test the availability of SSS method for MEG event-related (de)synchronization (ERD/ERS) signal transformation in different head positions... |
0 | Preliminary results after reconstruction of bony defects of the proximal humerus with an allograft-resurfacing composite | Dental Implant Infection | We retrospectively studied 14 patients with proximal and diaphyseal tumours and disappearing bone (Gorham's) disease of the humerus treated with wide resection and reconstruction using an allograft-resurfacing composite (ARC). There were ten women and four men, with a mean age of 35 years (8 to 69). At a mean follow-up... |
0 | Mechanical Symptoms and Arthroscopic Partial Meniscectomy in Patients With Degenerative Meniscus Tear: A Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Trial | OAK 3 - Non-arthroplasty tx of OAK | BACKGROUND: Recent evidence shows that arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM) offers no benefit over conservative treatment of patients with a degenerative meniscus tear. However, patients who report mechanical symptoms (sensations of knee catching or locking) may benefit from APM.
OBJECTIVE: To assess whether APM imp... |
0 | Fall-related admissions after fast-track total hip and knee arthroplasty - cause of concern or consequence of success? | Surgical Management of Osteoarthritis of the Knee CPG | Background: Total hip (THA) and knee arthroplasty (TKA) are common procedures in elderly persons, who are at potential increased risk of postoperative fall due to loss of muscle strength and impaired balance. Fast-track surgery with early mobilization and opioid-sparing analgesia have improved outcomes after these proc... |
1 | Dietary intake of fibre and risk of knee osteoarthritis in two US prospective cohorts | OAK 3 - Non-arthroplasty tx of OAK | OBJECTIVES: Dietary fibre reduces body weight and inflammation both of which are linked with knee osteoarthritis (OA). We examined the association between fibre intake and risk of knee OA.
METHODS: We used data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI) of 4796 participants and Framingham Offspring Osteoarthritis Study (... |
0 | Increased collagenase activity in human rheumatoid meniscus | AMP (Acute Meniscal Pathology) | Collagenase activity of knee joint menisci of patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis was approximately 3-fold higher than that found in menisci of control patients. The mean collagenase activity in the macroscopically more diseased parts of the rheumatoid menisci was significantly higher than that in the less dam... |
0 | Outcome of selective motor fasciculotomy in the treatment of upper limb spasticity | Diagnosis and Treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome CPG | Objective: The objective was to assess the outcome of selective motor fasciculotomy in relieving upper limb harmful resistant spasticity and thereby to improve motor functions in persons with cerebral palsy. Materials and Methods: Twenty people having cerebral palsy (12 females and 8 males) with age ranging from 5 to 3... |
