0 | The force attenuation provided by hip protectors depends on impact velocity, pelvic size, and soft tissue stiffness | Management of Hip Fractures in the Elderly | Wearable hip protectors represent a promising strategy for preventing hip fractures. However, there is lack of agreement on biomechanical testing standards and subsequent uncertainty about the ability of hip protectors to attenuate impact force during a fall. To address this issue, we designed a fall impact simulator t... |
0 | ISAKOS classification of meniscal tears. Intra and interobserver reliability | AMP (Acute Meniscal Pathology) | Objectives:To analyze the intra and interobserverreliability of the International Society of Arthroscopy, Knee Surgery and Orthopaedic Sports Medicine (ISAKOS) classification of meniscal tears. Methods: Thearthroscopic classification of meniscal lesions created by the ISAKOS was used. Thirty one arthroscopic videos, ma... |
0 | Osteochondritis dissecans of the knee | Diagnosis and Treatment of Osteochondritis Dissecans AUC | Osteochondritis dissecans is a condition of the joints that appears to affect subchondral bone primarily, with secondary effects on articular cartilage. With progression, this pathology may present clinically with symptoms related to the integrity of the articular cartilage. Early signs, associated with intact cartilag... |
0 | Two cases of transfusion-transmitted Anaplasma phagocytophilum | Management of Hip Fractures in the Elderly | Anaplasma phagocytophilum, the causative agent of human granulocytic anaplasmosis, is an obligate intracellular bacterium most commonly acquired from tick bites. High seroprevalence rates in endemic regions suggest that transfusion transmission of A phagocytophilum would be a common event; however, only 2 cases have pr... |
0 | Risk of complications from bone metastases in breast cancer: Implications for management | MSTS 2018 - Femur Mets and MM | A retrospective analysis of 859 patients who developed bone metastases from breast cancer between 1975 and 1991 was performed in order to identify factors that predict for complications from skeletal disease. The patients were divided into four groups based on the sites of disease at diagnosis of skeletal metastases: b... |
0 | Association between hypoglycemia and fall-related fractures and health care utilization in older veterans with type 2 diabetes | DoD PRF (Psychosocial RF) | Objective: To examine the association between hypoglycemia and fall-related outcomes in older patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods: This retrospective cohort study used electronic medical records of T2DM patients (â?¥65 years) from the Veterans Integrated Service Network 16 (VISN 16) data warehouse (0... |
0 | A cluster randomised controlled trial to prevent injury due to falls in a residential aged care population | Management of Hip Fractures in the Elderly | OBJECTIVE: To test the effectiveness of using a full-time project nurse to assist residential aged care facilities in using evidence-based approaches to falls injury prevention. DESIGN, SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: Cluster randomised controlled trial involving 5391 residents in 88 aged care facilities in the Hunter and Lo... |
0 | An uncommon cause for hip pain and limping | PJI DX Updated Search | Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is characterized by displacement of the capital femoral epiphysis from the femoral neck. An 18-year-old male presented with left hip pain and a limping gait, following a trivial trauma. Radiological examination revealed bilateral SCFE. Clinically and biochemically, he had featur... |
0 | Growth hormone therapy in adults: Rationales, results, and perspectives | Diagnosis and Treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome CPG | This review outlines the present knowledge of the rationales, clinical aspects, and perspectives of a therapy with recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) in adults. In patients with hypopituitarism the effects of rhGH replacement have been extensively studied. Recent clinical trials show that rhGH treatment improves m... |
0 | Treatment of symptomatic greater trochanteric fracture after total hip arthroplasty | Management of Hip Fractures in the Elderly | Isolated greater trochanter fractures after total hip arthroplasty are associated with major comorbidities such as debilitating weakness, pain, and dislocation. No definitive standard of care has been established for these fracture. However, it is well known that reestablishing osseous union in these patients is strong... |
0 | Oral inflammatory process and general health Part 2: How does the periapical inflammatory process compromise general health? | PJI DX Updated Search | At present, the focal infection theory still has very controversial aspects. In spite of the great number of studies, there is no evidence that focal infections or even antigenic mimicry are responsible for anything other than sporadic abscesses/infections and possibly rare autoimmune disorders. Iinflammation of endodo... |
0 | A Unified Approach to Outcomes Assessment for Distal Radius Fractures | DOD - Acute Comp Syndrome CPG | Distal radius fractures are one of the most common upper extremity injuries. Currently, outcome assessment after treatment of these injuries varies widely with respect to the measures that are used, timing of assessment, and the end points that are considered. A more consistent approach to outcomes assessment would pro... |
0 | Revision total knee arthroplasty infection: incidence and predictors | Surgical Management of Osteoarthritis of the Knee CPG | BACKGROUND: Deep infection remains one of the most devastating and costly complications after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The risk of deep infection after revision TKA is reportedly greater than that for primary TKA; however, we do not know the exact incidence of infection after revision TKA. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES: We ... |
0 | Septic knee arthritis following ACL reconstruction: a systematic review | SR for PM on OA of All Extremities | Although postoperative septic arthritis is rare after ACL reconstruction, it carries a high morbidity that results in poor clinical outcome. Despite low incidence, it is important to recognize that infection and treat it without delay because of devastating consequences, such as loss of hyaline cartilage and arthrofibr... |
