Intramedullary fixation permits limited so... |
1 | The effectiveness and safety of two prophylactic antibiotic regimes in hip-fracture surgery | DoD SSI (Surgical Site Infections) | Antibiotic prophylaxis with cefuroxime can reduce the incidence of deep wound infection (DWI) in hip-fracture surgery, but may increase the risk of C. difficile infection (CDI). An alternative is gentamicin with beta-lactam for which a question exists around clinical effectiveness and safety, given the gentamicin-assoc... |
1 | Project VALOR: design and methods of a longitudinal registry of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in combat-exposed veterans in the Afghanistan and Iraqi military theaters of operations | DoD PRF (Psychosocial RF) | Few studies have investigated the natural history of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Project VALOR (Veterans' After-discharge Longitudinal Registry) was designed as a longitudinal patient registry assessing the course of combat-related PTSD among 1600 male and female Veterans who served in Operation Enduring Fre... |
0 | Expression of hormonal receptors in osteosarcomas of the jaw bones: Clinico-pathological analysis of 21 cases | MSTS 2022 - Metastatic Disease of the Humerus | Background: Sexual hormones have an important role in many hormone-dependant tumors like breast and prostate carcinomas, and also a relationship has been found with bone metabolism and bone tumors. Some studies have demonstrated that the expression of hormonal receptors (HR) in osteosarcomas (OS) of long bones is assoc... |
0 | A triplanar osteotomy technique in arthroscopy-assisted ankle mosaicplasty | Osteochondritis Dissecans 2020 Review | PURPOSE: Osteochondral lesions of the talus are lesions that are seen particularly in the young age group and are often related to sports injuries and trauma. These lesions, which show late symptoms radiologically, can be determined in the early stages with magnetic resonance imaging. The aim of this study was to prese... |
0 | Oculoplastic surgery practice during the COVID-19 novel coronavirus pandemic: experience sharing from Hong Kong | Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) | At present, all parts of the world are hit hard by COVID-19. The first confirmed case of COVID-19 in the territory of Hong Kong was announced on January 23, 2020. Since then, oculoplastic surgeons in Hong Kong have been taking every measure to protect all healthcare workers and patients from contracting the disease. Th... |
0 | Intraoral one-stage curved osteotomy for the prominent mandibular angle: A clinical study of 407 cases | Panniculectomy & Abdominoplasty CPG | Background: Many Oriental people have a square face with a prominent mandibular angle. This article presents a good osteotomy method for the prominent mandibular angle (PMA). Methods: Two modifications of the conventional procedures have been made. The first is a one-stage curved osteotomy for the mandibular angle. The... |
1 | Antibiotic prophylaxis in dentistry: a review and practice recommendations | Dental Implant Infection | BACKGROUND: The American Heart Association, or AHA, and the American Dental Association recently changed their recommended protocols for antibiotic prophylaxis against bacterial endocarditis. A new recommendation also has been issued by the ADA and the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, or AAOS, against routine ... |
0 | Epidural abscess caused by Streptococcus milleri in a pregnant woman | Patrick’s pharmacoepidemiology project | BACKGROUND: Bacteria in the Streptococcus milleri group (S. anginosus, S. constellatus, and S. intermedius) are associated with bacteremia and abscess formation. While most reports of Streptococcus milleri group (SMG) infection occur in patients with underlying medical conditions, SMG infections during pregnancy have b... |
0 | Navigation-assisted minimal invasive total knee arthroplasty in patients with extra-articular femoral deformity | Surgical Management of Osteoarthritis of the Knee CPG | In the presence of extra-articular femoral deformity, total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is difficult to perform because of altered anatomical axis and distorted landmarks. Although minimal invasive surgery (MIS) has known advantage of earlier rehabilitation, MIS with this deformity may have higher incidence of component ma... |
0 | Orthobiologics for Focal Articular Cartilage Defects | OAK 3 - Non-arthroplasty tx of OAK | Focal chondral defects of the knee are extremely common and often result in pain, dysfunction, joint deterioration, and, ultimately, the development of osteoarthritis. Due to the limitations of conventional treatments for focal chondral defects of the knee, orthobiologics have recently become an area of interest. Ortho... |
0 | Nonoperative care for hip fracture in the elderly: the influence of race, income, and comorbidities | Management of Hip Fractures in the Elderly | CONTEXT: Hip fracture occurs in 340,000 older adults each year. Operative repair is the standard of care, maximizing the chances of functional recovery. Not receiving operative care may condemn patients to a lifetime of pain and potential immobility. OBJECTIVE: To measure the incidence of nonoperative treatment for fir... |
