Often in the case of LVOS, reduction mammaplasty designs are used in the oncoplastic re... |
1 | Global experience of orthopaedic trauma surgeons facing COVID-19: a survey highlighting the global orthopaedic response | Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) | BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has significantly affected all aspects of healthcare, including orthopaedics. Due to the unique challenges presented by COVID-19 as well as the distinct timeframes that it will surge in different geographies, much can be learned from the experiences of orthopaedic professi... |
0 | Zoledronic acid: an advance in tumour bone disease therapy and a new hope for osteoporosis | MSTS 2018 - Femur Mets and MM | The two main therapeutic applications of bisphosphonates are tumour bone disease and osteoporosis. They constitute the standard treatment for cancer hypercalcaemia, and placebo-controlled trials have shown that the prolonged administration of bisphosphonates, such as pamidronate or clodronate, can reduce the frequency ... |
0 | Utility of early screening magnetic resonance imaging for extensive hip osteonecrosis in pediatric patients treated with glucocorticoids | AAHKS (2) Corticosteroids | PURPOSE: Hip osteonecrosis frequently complicates treatment with glucocorticoids. When extensive (affecting >= 30% of the epiphyseal surface), 80% of joints collapse within 2 years, so interventions are needed to prevent this outcome.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: This prospective cohort magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) screen... |
0 | The preoperative prevalence and postoperative incidence of thromboembolism in patients with hip fractures treated with dextran prophylaxis | Management of Hip Fractures in the Elderly | A prospective preoperative and postoperative venographic study of hip fracture patients has documented a significant preoperative prevalence and postoperative incidence of thromboembolic disease. A statistically higher incidence of deep-venous thrombosis is observed in patients with femoral neck fractures compared to p... |
0 | Use of an alumina-on-alumina bearing system in total hip arthroplasty for osteonecrosis of the hip | Management of Hip Fractures in the Elderly | BACKGROUND: The results of total hip arthroplasty in patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head are not always optimal. The use of alumina-on-alumina interfaces in young and active patients may decrease wear and lower the rate of aseptic loosening of the implant and appears to be an attractive alternative to the u... |
0 | Severe ocular injuries from orthodontic headgear | Prevention of Orthopaedic Implant Infection in Patients Undergoing Dental Procedures | Dislocation of extraoral orthodontic tractional devices (headgear) resulted in penetrating ocular injuries in three eyes of two patients. An endophthalmitis caused by mixed flora developed in each injured eye. Despite medical and surgical therapy, only one eye retained useful vision two years following injury. All wear... |
0 | Reliability of performance-based measures in people awaiting joint replacement surgery of the hip or knee | Surgical Management of Osteoarthritis of the Knee CPG | BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Understanding the reliability of selected measurement tools is a prerequisite to understanding the effects of clinical interventions. The aim of this investigation was to determine the reliability of the 50-Foot Timed Walk (50 FTW) and 30-second Chair Stand Test (30 CST) in subjects awaiting joi... |
0 | Changes in oxygen saturation in the 72 hours after hip surgery: the effect of oxygen therapy | Management of Hip Fractures in the Elderly | The aim of this study was to investigate changes in oxygen saturation (SpO2) occurring during the three days following hip surgery in patients in this hospital and to determine to what extent SpO2 might be improved by oxygen therapy for 24 or 72 hours. Eighty-three patients (aged 43-96 years) scheduled for elective tot... |
0 | Shoulder arthroplasty for advanced glenohumeral arthritis after anterior instability repair | Glenohumeral Joint OA | We retrospectively reviewed 19 patients (19 shoulders) in whom advanced glenohumeral arthritis developed after anterior instability repair. The anterior instability repairs included 4 Bristow, 4 Putti-Platt (2 in combination with other procedures), 4 Magnuson-Stack, 2 Bankart, and 5 other anterior capsulorrhaphies. Sev... |
1 | Workplace surveillance for carpal tunnel syndrome: A comparison of methods | Diagnosis and Treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome CPG | A variety of screening procedures for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) were applied among workers in a manufacturing plant, and results were compared. The test procedures included a symptom survey, physical examination, limited electrodiagnostic testing at the wrists, quantitative vibratory threshold testing, 2-point discr... |
0 | Comparison between EMG-Biofeedback controlled exercises and conventional exercises on knee osteoarthritis treatment, a clinical trial | OAK 3 - Non-arthroplasty tx of OAK | INTERVENTION: Control group; 1â?Conventional knee osteoarthritis exercises training to patients include; Strengthening exercises of Quadriceps muscles, Strengthening of Hip adductors, Closed Kinematic Chain exercises, Stretching exercises for Hamstring muscle and Properioception training by physical therapist and reco... |
1 | Concomitant orthopedic and vascular injuries as predictors for limb loss in blunt lower extremity trauma | DoD LSA (Limb Salvage vs Amputation) | Lower extremity trauma with concomitant orthopedic and vascular injury is associated with a high degree of limb loss. Despite successful arterial repair, many patients will ultimately require amputations. The effect of associated orthopedic injuries on limb loss in patients with lower extremity arterial injuries is inv... |
1 | Diagnostic alterations for post-traumatic stress disorder: examining data from the National Comorbidity Survey Replication and National Survey of Adolescents | DoD PRF (Psychosocial RF) | BACKGROUND: Two alternative models of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) appear to represent the disorder's latent structure better than the traditional Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition (DSM-IV) three-factor PTSD model. The present study examines the impact of using these structural... |
0 | Biomechanical analysis of supracondylar humerus fracture pinning for slightly malreduced fractures | The Treatment of Pediatric Supracondylar Humerus Fractures AUC | BACKGROUND: The most common position of malreduced type III supracondylar humerus (SCH) fractures is internal rotation and medial collapse of the distal fragment. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of SCH fracture rotational deformity on stability with various pin configurations. Specifically, is the... |
0 | Hannover Fracture Scale '98 - Re-evaluation and new perspectives of an established extremity salvage score | DoD LSA (Limb Salvage vs Amputation) | Objective: as the treatment of open fractures has improved over the years, the prognosis of open fractures has also changed. Thus, a re-evaluation of the Hannover Fracture Score (HFS), first introduced in 1983, has become necessary. Design: retrospectively all parameters of the HFS were evaluated in 182 open fractures ... |
0 | Initial experience with the Forte plate for dorsally displaced distal radius fractures | Management of Hip Fractures in the Elderly | Open reduction and plate osteosynthesis is occasionally indicated for dorsally displaced distal radius fractures. We reviewed our medium term results with the Forte plate, one of the recently introduced purpose-made implants.Twenty-five patients operated on during the first year were reviewed 19 (12-24) months after su... |
0 | Curettage and cryosurgery for low-grade cartilage tumors is associated with low recurrence and high function | MSTS 2018 - Femur Mets and MM | Background: Chondrosarcomas of bone traditionally have been treated by wide or radical excision, procedures that may result in considerable lifelong disability. Grade 1 chondrosarcomas have little or no metastatic potential and are often difficult to distinguish from painful benign enchondromas. Curettage with adjuvant... |
0 | The influence of patellofemoral degenerative changes on the outcome of unicompartmental knee replacement (UKA) | Surgical Management of Osteoarthritis of the Knee CPG | Aim: Patellofemoral (PF) joint degeneration is widely considered to be a contraindication to medial compartment UKA. We examined the validity of this preconception Methods: information gathered prospectively on 147 consecutive patients who underwent the Repicci II(plus or minus)UKA for medial compartment osteoarthritis... |
