0 | Incidence, surgical procedures, and outcomes of hip fracture among elderly type 2 diabetic and non-diabetic patients in Spain (2004-2013) | Hip Fx in the Elderly 2019 | UNLABELLED: Hip fracture is a serious public health problem. We used Spanish hospital discharge data to examine trends in 2004-2013 in the incidence of hip fracture among elderly patients. We found that hip fracture incidence is higher in subjects with than without diabetes and is much higher among women than men.

0 | Effectiveness of hematoma block in term of pain relief in distal radial fractures | Distal Radius Fractures | Objective: To determine effectiveness of hematoma block in term of pain relief in reduction of distal radius fracture. Methodology: This cross sectional descriptive study was conducted on 150 patients distal radius fracture. The patients were given 1.5% Xylocaine at the fracture hematoma site from the dorsal aspect. Af... |
0 | Rates and Risk Factors of Revision Arthroscopy or Conversion to Total Knee Arthroplasty Within 1 Year Following Isolated Meniscectomy | AMP (Acute Meniscal Pathology) | PURPOSE: To identify the rates of and risk factors for revision arthroscopy and conversion to total knee arthroplasty (TKA) within 1 year of isolated meniscectomy.
METHODS: Humana and Medicare national insurance databases were queried for patients who underwent isolated meniscectomy. Patients who underwent revision art... |
0 | Simultaneous fat-free isotropic 3D anatomical imaging and T2 mapping of knee cartilage with lipid-insensitive binomial off-resonant RF excitation (LIBRE) pulses | AMP (Acute Meniscal Pathology) | Background: Improved knee cartilage morphological delineation and T2 mapping precision necessitates isotropic 3D high-resolution and efficient fat suppression. Purpose: To develop and assess an isotropic 3D lipid-insensitive T2 mapping technique of the knee for improved cartilage delineation and precise measurement of ... |
0 | Long-term benefits and risks of cyclosporin A (sandimmun)--an analysis at 10 years | Reconstruction After Skin Cancer | To evaluate long-term benefits and risks of CyA therapy in renal transplantation, we analyzed the 10-year experience with all 59 patients who had received a first cadaveric renal graft until August 1983 and were immunosuppressed with CyA. We compared their actual graft survival with that of all 213 patients who had rec... |
0 | The effect of a standard activity on the size of the median nerve as determined by ultrasound visualization | Diagnosis and Treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome CPG | The purpose of this study was to determine whether a standardized hand activity would produce changes in the cross-sectional diameter of the median nerve. Ultrasound measures of proven reliability of the cross-sectional diameter of the median nerve in the wrist were taken. These measures were taken before activity and ... |
0 | A ten year history of mycobacterium malmoense septic arthritis of the wrist | Diagnosis and Treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome CPG | Background: Mycobacterium malmoense is a non-tuberculous mycobacterium and a rare cause of septic arthritis. Chest disease is the most frequent associated condition with lung as the commonest site of infection. We would like to describe a case of Mycobacterium malmoense septic arthritis of the wrist in a gentleman who ... |
1 | Performance of simplified scoring systems for hand diagrams in carpal tunnel syndrome screening | Diagnosis and Treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome CPG | PURPOSE: Katz et al have published a standardized scoring system of hand diagrams for carpal tunnel syndrome. The purpose of this study was to quantitatively evaluate an alternative scoring of the hand diagram for detection of carpal tunnel syndrome. METHODS: In a prospective study of 1,107 workers, 221 workers with ha... |
0 | Distal radius osteotomy in the elderly patient using angular stable implants and Norian bone cement | Distal Radius Fractures | PURPOSE: To report our results after testing the combination of two technologies--angular-stable locking screw implants and Norian SRS cement--in corrective osteotomies of the distal radius in the elderly. This technique eliminates donor site bone-graft morbidity and expands the indications of corrective osteotomies to... |
0 | The use of bisphosphonates in the management of bone metastatic prostate cancer | MSTS 2018 - Femur Mets and MM | Improved understanding of the pathophysiology of prostate cancer-induced metabolic bone disease implies that bisphosphonates may have a role in the treatment of this disorder. Although prostate cancer cells stimulate osteoblasts, resulting in a marked increase in bone volume and the classic radiologic aspect of sclerot... |
0 | Comparison of clonidine, morphine or placebo mixed with bupivacaine during continuous spinal anaesthesia | AAHKS (8) Anesthetic Infiltration | PURPOSE: To compare intraoperative anaesthetic and haemodynamic effects of clonidine-bupivacaine, morphine-bupivacaine and placebo-bupivacaine combinations during continuous spinal anaesthesia.
METHODS: Thirty six geriatric patients, undergoing knee replacement using continuous spinal anaesthesia were randomly assigned... |
0 | Radiocarpal arthrodesis for osteoarthritis following fractures of the distal radius | Distal Radius Fractures | To compare the radioscapholunate (RSL) arthrodesis and radiolunate (RL) arthrodesis as a treatment for radiocarpal osteoarthritis following fractures of the distal radius, nine patients, 23 to 70 years old (average 41) at the time of surgery, were assessed two to 33 years after surgery. The periods between injury and s... |
0 | External fixation of pediatric femoral fractures | DoD SSI (Surgical Site Infections) | Fifteen pediatric femoral fractures in 14 patients were treated with external fixation using the EBI Orthofix unilateral external fixator.
