0 | The role of meniscal repair for prevention of early onset of osteoarthritis | AMP (Acute Meniscal Pathology) | BACKGROUND: The meniscus plays an important role in the integrity of the knee joint. Therefore, meniscus tissue preserving techniques for the therapy of meniscus injuries seem to be reasonable. One of the important questions is whether meniscal repair can prevent the knee joint from early onset of osteoarthritis.

0 | Elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures after intramedullary fixation : Analysis of risk factors for calf muscular vein thrombosis | Hip Fx in the Elderly 2019 | OBJECTIVE: Calf muscular vein thrombosis (CMVT) has been known for approximately 40 years and many research studies for CMVT have been conducted but many opinions about the incidence and risk factors are still controversial. The objective of this retrospective study was to investigate the incidence and analyze the risk... |
0 | The treatment of pilon fractures | DoD LSA (Limb Salvage vs Amputation) | Soft tissue complications, skin slough, and superficial infection lead to deeper infection and amputation. By avoiding these complications, it is expected that better results can be obtained. Two techniques are available to do this. The first is to limit incisions and use external fixation to obtain stability. Even in ... |
0 | Rupture of the extensor pollicis longus tendon after wrist trauma | Distal Radius Fractures | In the period of 1976 to 1997 our clinic treated 33 patients after Colles fracture with ruptured extensor pollicis longus tendon. The occurrence of functional loss was observed after the trauma in 3 to 9 weeks. In 30 cases the surgical treatment of extensor indicis proprius tendon, in 2 cases a direct suture of the rup... |
0 | Distal Radius Fracture Fixation With the Specialized Threaded Pin Device | Distal Radius Fractures | This study investigated the outcomes of extra-articular distal radius fractures and simple intra-articular radial styloid fractures stabilized with a novel threaded cannulated device. This was a retrospective study of 24 distal radius fractures treated with the T-Pin device (Union Surgical LLC, Philadelphia, Pennsylvan... |
0 | The outcome of infected total knee arthroplasty: culture-positive versus culture-negative | PJI DX Updated Search | PURPOSE: We studied the outcome in culture-positive and culture-negative infected total knee arthroplasty (TKA). METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 140 patients with culture-positive and 102 patients with culture-negative infected TKAs. We determined the infection control rate and clinical outcome after repeated debr... |
0 | Ptosis Repair in Ocular Myasthenia Gravis | Upper Eyelid and Brow Surgery | Ptosis repair was performed in patients with ocular myasthenia gravis by a posterior approach (Fasanella-Servat, 12 eyelids of nine patients) or levator advancement (eight eyelids of five patients) techniques. There were eight males and five females. Median age was 73 years and range 30-86 years. The median duration of... |
1 | F-18 FDG uptake of bone marrow on PET/CT scan: It's correlation with CD38/CD138 expressing myeloma cells in bone marrow of patients with multiple myeloma | MSTS 2018 - Femur Mets and MM | The percentage of myeloma cells in bone marrow is subsequently an important index of disease in patients with multiple myeloma (MM). Bone marrow myeloma cells can be detected by strong CD38/CD138 positivity and light scatter characteristics using flow cytometry. The aim of the study was to evaluate the relationship bet... |
0 | Systemic administration of local anesthetic agents to relieve neuropathic pain | SR for PM on OA of All Extremities | Background: Lidocaine, mexiletine, tocainide, and flecainide are local anesthetics which give an analgesic effect when administered orally or parenterally. Early reports described the use of intravenous lidocaine or procaine to relieve cancer and postoperative pain. Interest reappeared decades later when patient series... |
0 | Abdominal compartment syndrome and acute pancreatitis | DOD - Acute Comp Syndrome CPG | Significant visceral edema associated with massive fluid resuscitation, paralytic ileus and formation of pancreatic ascites in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) can lead to abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) that can contribute to the early development of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), especi... |
0 | Spine radiographs to improve the identification of women at high risk for fractures | Management of Hip Fractures in the Elderly | In women older than 60 years with clinical risk factors for osteoporosis but without osteoporosis based on bone mineral density (T-score(element of)(greater-than or equal to)(element of)- 2.5), a systematic survey with X-rays of the spine identified previously unknown vertebral deformities in 21% of women. Introduction... |
0 | Forearm and distal radius fractures in children | Distal Radius Fractures | Pediatric forearm and distal radius fractures are common injuries. Resultant deformities are usually a product of indirect trauma involving angular loading combined with rotational displacement. Fractures are classified by location, completeness, angular and rotational deformity, and fragment displacement. Successful o... |
0 | Biomechanical investigations on chondromalacia of the knee after meniscal flap lesion and partial meniscal resection: an experimental model | AMP (Acute Meniscal Pathology) | Meniscal tears and resections may cause chondral lesions of the knee. To eliminate muscular control during investigation of this problem, we designed a biomechanical setup based on a knee-joint simulator, ensuring physiological, free-motion mobility of the joint. Fresh human knee specimens with intact cartilage were ex... |
1 | Liposomal Bupivacaine Does Not Reduce Inpatient Opioid Prescription or Related Complications after Knee Arthroplasty: A Database Analysis | AAHKS (9/10) Regional Nerve Blocks | WHAT WE ALREADY KNOW ABOUT THIS TOPIC: WHAT THIS MANUSCRIPT TELLS US THAT IS NEW: BACKGROUND:: Although some trials suggest benefits of liposomal bupivacaine, data on real-world use and effectiveness is lacking. This study analyzed the impact of liposomal bupivacaine use (regardless of administration route) on inpatien... |
0 | Factors affecting the incidence of surgical site infection after geriatric hip fracture surgery: a retrospective multicenter study | DoD SSI (Surgical Site Infections) | BACKGROUND: Geriatric hip fracture is a common type of osteoporotic fracture with high mortality and disability; surgical site infection (SSI) can be a devastating complication of this injury. By far, only a few studies identified easily remediable factors to reduce infection rates following hip fracture and less resea... |
1 | Soft tissue reconstruction and salvage of infected fixation hardware in lower extremity trauma | DoD LSA (Limb Salvage vs Amputation) | BACKGROUND: Tibial fracture management may be complicated by infection of internal fixation hardware (iIFH) resulting in increased morbidity and amputation rate. When iIFH removal is not possible, salvage of the lower extremity is attempted through debridement, antibiotics, and vascularized soft tissue coverage. This s... |
1 | Use of provincial health insurance plan billing data to estimate carpal tunnel syndrome morbidity and surgery rates | Diagnosis and Treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome CPG | Following a work refusal at a plant manufacturing ice cream novelties in Ontario, we were asked to document cases of cumulative trauma disorders (CTDs) and carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) in this workplace. There were 17 employees with possible hand and wrist problems identified from Workers Compensation Board (WCB) Forms... |
1 | Microbiology of odontogenic bacteremia: beyond endocarditis | Prevention of Orthopaedic Implant Infection in Patients Undergoing Dental Procedures | SUMMARY: The human gingival niche is a unique microbial habitat. In this habitat, biofilm organisms exist in harmony, attached to either enamel or cemental surfaces of the tooth as well as to the crevicular epithelium, subjacent to a rich vascular plexus underneath. Due to this extraordinary anatomical juxtaposition, p... |
