Approximately 1 million Americans suffer fragility fractures each year at a cost of over 14 billion dollars. The disability... |
0 | Diffusion MR imaging for monitoring of treatment response | MSTS 2018 - Femur Mets and MM | Functional imaging techniques are increasingly being used to monitor response to therapies, often predicting the success of therapy before conventional measurements are changed. This review focuses on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) depicted water diffusivity as a tumor response parameter. Response assessments are und... |
0 | Expression of CXCL12 and CXCR4 in pT3-stage gastric cancer does not correlate with peritoneal metastasis | MSTS 2018 - Femur Mets and MM | CXCR4, a chemokine receptor, is considered to be involved in the metastastic formation of various types of cancer and could influence survival. More recently, CXCR4 was reported to be associated with peritoneal metastasis in gastric cancer, and CXCL12, its ligand, as a prognostic determinant among gastric cancer of var... |
1 | Neutral glenoid alignment in reverse shoulder arthroplasty does not guarantee decreased risk of impingement | Trial Systematic Review Project | Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty (RSA) has gained popularity over the recent years, but impingement concerns are still present. Surgeons aim to correct pre-operative glenoid deformities to reduce impingement but it can be challenging without assistance like patient specific guides. However, it is unclear how accurate glen... |
0 | Immunotherapy of multiple myeloma: The start of a long and tortuous journey | MSTS 2018 - Femur Mets and MM | The field of tumor immunotherapy is still in its infancy. It is becoming clear that the human immune response is the result of highly complex, continuously evolving interactions between cells of the adaptive and innate arms of the immune system, the internal and external environments, and normal and abnormal cells (e.g... |
1 | Outcomes of arthroscopic revision rotator cuff repair with acellular human dermal matrix allograft augmentation | Trial Systematic Review Project | Background: The purpose was to assess the minimum 2-year patient-reported outcomes and failure rate of patients who underwent revision arthroscopic rotator cuff repair augmented with acellular human dermal matrix (AHDM) allograft for repairable retears. Methods: From 2008-2014, patients who underwent revision rotator c... |
1 | Early diagnosis of congenital dislocation of the hip | Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip CPG | In this prospective study, 35,550 neonates were examined shortly after birth by a team of orthopaedic surgeons. They diagnosed 775 unstable or dislocated hips in 656 babies; there were two teratological dislocations. Treatment was first with a Frejka pillow and, if this failed to give a normal hip, a Pavlik harness at ... |
0 | Inferior pole length and long-term aesthetic outcome after superior and inferior pedicled reduction mammaplasty | Reduction Mammoplasty for Female Breast Hypertrophy | BACKGROUND: Long-term aesthetic results after reduction mammaplasty remain an important issue for evaluating the success of different techniques. Superior pedicled techniques are reported to maintain a better breast projection with less bottoming-out of the inferior mammary pole than inferior pedicled techniques.

0 | Wild-type transthyretin-derived amyloidosis in various ligaments and tendons | Diagnosis and Treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome CPG | Transthyretin-derived amyloid deposition is commonly found in intercarpal ligaments of patients with senile systemic amyloidosis. However, the frequency of transthyretin-derived amyloid deposits in ligaments of other tissues remains to be elucidated. This study aimed to determine the frequency of amyloid deposition and... |
0 | MicroRNA-320 regulates matrix metalloproteinase-13 expression in chondrogenesis and interleukin-1beta-induced chondrocyte responses | OAK 3 - Non-arthroplasty tx of OAK | OBJECTIVE: Metalloproteinases (MMPs) are key regulators of osteoarthritis (OA) and collagen degradation and have been shown to participate in endochondral ossification. The aim of this study was to determine whether microRNA-320 (miR-320) regulates the expression of MMP-13 in chondrogenesis and inflammation.
