Functional outcome of arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs: a correlation of anatomic and clinical results
Optimizing the Management of Full-Thickness Rotator Cuff Tears
Even though several studies have revealed excellent clinical results with arthroscopic repair of rotator cuff tendons, poor healing of the repair and retearing of the tendon occur in many cases. Patterns of outcome correlating functional capacity and anatomic integrity of the repaired rotator cuff are not well defined....

The evaluation of post-operative alignment in total knee replacement using a CT-based navigation system
Surgical Management of Osteoarthritis of the Knee CPG
We compared the alignment of 39 total knee replacements implanted using the conventional alignment guide system with 37 implanted using a CT-based navigation system, performed by a single surgeon. The knees were evaluated using full-length weight-bearing anteroposterior radiographs, lateral radiographs and CT scans. Th...

A comparison of fasciotomy wound closure methods following extremity compartment syndrome at a regional trauma centre
DOD - Acute Comp Syndrome CPG
Background: Extremity fasciotomy wound closure following acute compartment syndrome is often prohibited by residual swelling, producing wounds that significantly contribute to patient morbidity. The aim of this study was to assess patient and fasciotomy wound outcomes associated with dynamic closure (DYN), delayed prim...

Ageing with spinal cord injury: cross-sectional and longitudinal effects
DoD PRF (Psychosocial RF)
STUDY DESIGN: Longitudinal and cross-sectional. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether, for studies of ageing with a spinal cord injury, the cross-sectional differences in outcomes across both age and years post injury (YPI) differ from the longitudinal change. SETTING: Two SCI centres in England: the National Spinal Injuries...

Predicting, Understanding and Speeding Recovery After TKA
AAHKS (5) Gabapentinoids
The objective of this research study is to better understand patterns of recovery after Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA). The study will evaluate how pain, activity and cognitive (i.e., thinking style) responses determine patterns of recovery, and the study will evaluate the efficacy of gabapentin versus placebo for impro...

Multicompartmental pressures in the knee joint during arthroscopy
AMP (Acute Meniscal Pathology)
It is well known that fast changes of position of the knee joint cause high instantaneous intraarticular pressures. During arthroscopy, rotation and flexion of the leg can create a closed-off compartment, increasing the risk of capsular rupture. To evaluate the risk of compartmentation, a study has been conducted in wh...

Endothelins induce CCR7 expression by breast tumor cells via endothelin receptor A and hypoxia-inducible factor-1
MSTS 2018 - Femur Mets and MM
Endothelin expression is increased in breast tumors and is associated with invasion and metastasis, whereas CCR7 expression by breast tumor cells may have a role in the organ specificity of breast cancer spread. In this article, we have analyzed whether endothelins influence breast tumor cell expression of the chemokin...
