0 | Optic Radiation Tractography and Visual Field Deficits in Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy for Amygdalohippocampectomy in Patients with Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy | Upper Eyelid and Brow Surgery | BACKGROUND/AIMS: Laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) has become an alternative to open-resective surgery for refractory mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE). Occurrence of visual field defects (VFDs) following open surgery for MTLE is reported at 52-100%. We examined the rate of VFDs following LITT for amygdalohi... |
0 | Role of mesotherapy in musculoskeletal pain: Opinions from the Italian Society of Mesotherapy | OAK 3 - Non-arthroplasty tx of OAK | Mesotherapy is the injection of active substances into the surface layer of the skin. This method allows a slower spread, higher levels, and longer lasting effects of drugs in the tissues underlying the site of injection (skin, muscle, and joint) compared with those following intramuscular injection. This technique is ... |
0 | Computer-assisted navigation of total knee arthroplasty for osteoarthritis in a patient with severe posttraumatic femoral deformity | Surgical Management of Osteoarthritis of the Knee CPG | In the setting of extraarticular deformities of the knee, total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is difficult, as anatomical abnormalities obstruct identification of alignment landmarks and may preclude the use of traditional instrumentation. The long-term clinical value of computer assistance for TKA is a point of ongoing cont... |
0 | Patient retention and replacement trends after saline breast implants: are deflations inflationary? | Panniculectomy & Abdominoplasty CPG | BACKGROUND: This study aimed to examine serial operative trends with patients who have experienced surgical implant deflation. In addition, the economic impact of deflation on practice caseload was analyzed. METHODS: A retrospective review was conducted to examine patients who experienced deflation from 2000 to 2007. P... |
0 | In vivo healing of meniscal lacerations using bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells and fibrin glue | AMP (Acute Meniscal Pathology) | Fibrin glue created from a patient's own blood can be used as a carrier to deliver cells to the specific site of an injury. An experimental model for optimizing various permutations of this delivery system in vivo was tested in this study. Harvested equine meniscal sections were reapposed with fibrin glue or fibrin glu... |
1 | Magnetic resonance imaging as a screening procedure to avoid arthroscopy for meniscal tears | Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries CPG | The objective of this study was to evaluate the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a screening procedure before arthroscopy of meniscal tears. Forty-one knees in 40 patients underwent MRI and arthroscopy. Compared with arthroscopy, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive... |
0 | The silent overall burden of foot disease in a representative hospitalised population | DoD LSA (Limb Salvage vs Amputation) | The aims of this study were to investigate the point prevalence, and associated independent factors, for foot disease (ulcers, infections and ischaemia) in a representative hospitalised population. We included 733 (83%) of 883 eligible adult inpatients across five representative Australian hospitals on one day. We coll... |
