1 | Detection and quantitation by lysis-filtration of bacteremia after different oral surgical procedures | Prevention of Orthopaedic Implant Infection in Patients Undergoing Dental Procedures | Patients with bacteremia after dental extraction, third-molar surgery, dental scaling, endodontic treatment, and bilateral tonsillectomy were studied by means of lysis-filtration of blood samples with subsequent aerobic and anaerobic incubation. Samples were obtained before, during, and 10 min after treatment. Bacterem... |
0 | The value of an organized fracture program for the elderly: early results | HipFx Supplemental Cost Analysis | OBJECTIVES: To describe the early financial results of an organized hip fracture program for older adults. DESIGN: Retrospective evaluation of financial data for a 1-year period on a hip fracture program for older adults. SETTING: University medical center. PATIENTS: All 193 adults older than age 60 with a native, nonp... |
0 | Effect of retaining articular capsule in total hip arthroplasty through posterior approach on hip stability | Management of Hip Fractures in the Elderly | Background: Articular capsule ligaments can lead articular surface to move normally and limit the excessive movement, especially to prevent any non-physiological movement. They are the important structures for stabilizing hip joints. It was previously thought that articular capsule should be routinely resected in the t... |
0 | Diagnosing snapping sartorius tendon secondary to a meniscal cyst using dynamic ultrasound avoids incorrect surgical procedure | AMP (Acute Meniscal Pathology) | We describe a case of painful snapping in the medial aspect of the knee of a 40-year-old man, following a knee hyperflexion injury. Dynamic real-time ultrasonography determined that the snapping was due to the distal tendon of sartorius passing over a medial meniscal cyst. The patient subsequently underwent arthroscopi... |
0 | Vitamin D status, parathyroid function, bone turnover, and BMD in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis: global perspective | HipFx Supplemental Cost Analysis | Poor vitamin D status is common in the elderly and is associated with bone loss and fractures. The aim was to assess worldwide vitamin D status in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis according to latitude and economic status, in relation to parathyroid function, bone turnover markers, and BMD. The study was performe... |
0 | Pain and recovery of physical functioning nine months after total knee arthroplasty | Surgical Management of Osteoarthritis of the Knee CPG | OBJECTIVE: To describe pain and recovery of physical functioning after total knee arthroplasty. DESIGN: A longitudinal design with assessments preoperatively, and 1 week, 3 and 9 months postoperatively. SUBJECTS: Sixty-three patients participated. METHODS: Pain was assessed by visual analogue scale. Physical functionin... |
0 | Unilateral spinal anesthesia with hyperbaric bupivacaine versus hyperbaric articaine in out-patient knee surgery | Surgical Management of Osteoarthritis of the Knee CPG | Hemodynamic alterations due to sympathetic blockade during spinal anesthesia should be minimized. Restriction of sympathetic blockade during unilateral spinal anesthesia causes minimal hemodynamic alterations. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of hyperbaric bupivacaine and hyperbaric articaine on hemodyna... |
1 | Why not resurface the patella? | Surgical Management of Osteoarthritis of the Knee CPG | The results of resurfacing or not resurfacing the articular cartilage of the patella were reviewed in 71 knees--47 with rheumatoid arthritis and 24 with osteoarthritis--which had been replaced with the ICLH prosthesis. Two rheumatoid and osteoporotic patellae developed transverse fractures with separation and were excl... |
0 | Repair of five distal radius fractures with an investigational cancellous bone cement: a preliminary report | Distal Radius Fractures | OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the feasibility of Norian SRS bone cement injected percutaneously into a distal radius following reduction in both preventing loss of reduction as well as safety.
DESIGN: The study was a prospective clinical study with an established protocol.
SETTING: The study was c... |
0 | Volumetric bone mineral density using peripheral quantitative computed tomography in Japanese women | Distal Radius Fractures | The present study evaluated a commercial device for peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) and examined the age-related changes in normal Japanese women. The volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) of the distal radius [integral bone mineral density (BMDI), trabecular bone mineral density (BMDT) and cortical... |
0 | Poverty is a risk factor for osteoporotic fractures | Management of Hip Fractures in the Elderly | This study assesses the possible association between poverty and osteoporosis and/or fragility fractures in a population of postmenopausal women. We found that postmenopausal women with low socioeconomic status had lower values of BMD at the lumbar spine, a higher prevalence of densitometric osteoporosis, and a higher ... |
1 | Minimally invasive technique versus conventional technique of dynamic hip screws for intertrochanteric femoral fractures | Management of Hip Fractures in the Elderly | INTRODUCTION: Intertrochanteric fractures of femur are common in elderly patients. The compression hip screw has become the predominant method for osteosynthesis of intertrochanteric fractures. However, the conventional dynamic hip screws (CDHS) technique has some disadvantages. Recently, we have used a minimally invas... |
0 | Balneotherapy for osteoarthritis. A cochrane review | SR for PM on OA of All Extremities | OBJECTIVE: Balneotherapy (or spa therapy, mineral baths) for patients with arthritis is one of the oldest forms of therapy. We assessed effectiveness of balneotherapy for patients with osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS: We performed a broad search strategy to retrieve eligible studies, selecting randomized controlled trials... |
0 | Efficacy of Single-stage Revision with Aggressive Debridement Using Intra-articular Antibiotics in the Treatment of Infected Joint Prosthesis | PJI DX Updated Search | Prosthetic joint infections (PJI) of the hip and knee are uncommon, but result in significant morbidity and mortality when they do occur. Current management consists of a combination of either single- or two-stage exchange of the prosthesis and/or exchange of polymer components with intravenous (IV) antibiotics (4-6 we... |
