0 | Use of BMPs and bisphosphonates to improve bone fracture healing | OAK 3 - Non-arthroplasty tx of OAK | In orthopaedics, focus is often placed on increasing bone formation by an anabolic drug like the recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein (rhBMP). However, premature or excessive bone resorption, due to stress-shielding, instability or infection/inflammation can lead to poor, delayed, or absent bone union. Anti-cat... |
0 | Corrective osteotomy of the distal radius through volar approach | Distal Radius Fractures | Operative correction through the malunion has become a well-accepted reconstructive procedure for symptomatic malunited extra-articular fractures of the distal radius over the last 3 decades. Now that newer plates designed specifically for the volar fixation of dorsally unstable distal radius fractures by incorporating... |
0 | Analysis of significant factors influencing visual acuity in ocular syphilis | Upper Eyelid and Brow Surgery | BACKGROUND: The aim of this study is to determine whether statistical associations can be demonstrated in ocular syphilis between baseline clinical and laboratory parameters with visual acuity at presentation and with any change in visual acuity after treatment. METHODS: Charts of 26 patients (42 eyes) with ocular syph... |
0 | An exploratory examination of the meanings of residual injuries from intimate partner violence | DoD PRF (Psychosocial RF) | The meanings attached to residual injuries resulting from intimate partner violence (IPV) may play an important role in shaping psychological distress associated with these experiences. This study explored IPV victims' personal definitions and meanings of their residual IPV-related injuries as a first step in determini... |
0 | Growth in early life predicts bone strength in late adulthood: the Hertfordshire Cohort Study | Management of Hip Fractures in the Elderly | Infant growth is a determinant of adult bone mass, and poor childhood growth is a risk factor for adult hip fracture. Peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) allows non-invasive assessment of bone strength. We utilised this technology to examine relationships between growth in early life and bone strength. W... |
0 | Supramalleolar Osteotomy for Tibial Component Malposition in Total Ankle Replacement | OAK 3 - Non-arthroplasty tx of OAK | BACKGROUND: Persistent pain despite a total ankle replacement is not uncommon. A main source of pain may be an insufficiently balanced ankle. An alternative to the revision of the existing arthroplasty is the use of a corrective osteotomy of the distal tibia, above the stable implant. This strictly extraarticular proce... |
0 | Complications in children's orthopaedics: avoiding late deformity in paediatric fracture surgery | Pediatric Supracondylar Humerus Fracture 2020 Review | Paediatric orthopaedic surgery can be an unfamiliar and challenging field with the potential for devastating consequences. This article discusses late deformity associated with humeral supracondylar fractures and slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE). Common complications include loss of fixation, mal-reduction, ava... |
0 | Management of secondary lymphedema related to breast cancer | Panniculectomy & Abdominoplasty CPG | OBJECTIVE: To review recent literature on the management of secondary lymphedema following breast cancer. QUALITY OF EVIDENCE: MEDLINE, EMBASE, AMED, PubMed, and the Internet were searched for articles published between 2005 and 2009. Articles were evaluated using Sackett's levels of evidence. The literature search foc... |
0 | YM-175 induces apoptosis of human native monocyte-lineage cells via inhibition of prenylation | MSTS 2018 - Femur Mets and MM | Nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates (NCBPs) have been widely used as standard supportive therapy to reduce skeletal-related events (SREs) in myeloma patients through suppression of osteoclast activity. In various prospective randomized trials that were performed following preliminary reports concerning efficacy, NCBPs ... |
0 | Study on the effectiveness of a hyaluronic acid-chondroitin complex as a complementary therapy to arthroscopic intervention with cartilage damage in the knee joint | AMP (Acute Meniscal Pathology) | Introduction: Cartilage degenerations, also as a possible consequence of lesions of the ligaments and the meniscus in the knee joint, are not rarely to be found and almost always multifactorally caused. Thus the functional entity of active and passive structures of the skeletal and muscle systems seems to play the deci... |
0 | Characterization of nitrotyrosine as a biomarker for arthritis and joint injury | OAK 3 - Non-arthroplasty tx of OAK | OBJECTIVES: To characterize the utility of nitrotyrosine (NT) as a biomarker for arthritis and joint injury.
DESIGN: Synovial fluid, plasma, and urine from patients diagnosed with osteoarthritis (OA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, meniscus injury and pseudogout, and knee-healthy vo... |
0 | Two-Year Outcomes of a Randomized Trial Investigating a 6-Week Return to Full Weightbearing After Matrix-Induced Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation | OAK 3 - Non-arthroplasty tx of OAK | BACKGROUND: Matrix-induced autologous chondrocyte implantation (MACI) has demonstrated encouraging outcomes in treating patients with knee cartilage defects. Postoperatively, the time required to attain full weightbearing (WB) remains conservative.
HYPOTHESIS: We hypothesized that patients would have no significant cli... |
0 | Conservative versus operative treatment for hip fractures in adults | Management of Hip Fractures in the Elderly | BACKGROUND: Until operative treatment involving the use of various implants was introduced in the 1950s, hip fractures were managed using conservative methods based on traction and bed rest. OBJECTIVES: To compare conservative with operative treatment for fractures of the proximal femur (hip) in adults. SEARCH STRATEGY... |
0 | Factors influencing the incidence and outcome of infection following total joint arthroplasty | Surgical Management of Osteoarthritis of the Knee CPG | During a ten-year period, 4240 total hip, knee, and elbow arthroplasties were performed. The overall infection rate was 1.25%. Certain groups were identified as being at higher risk of infection following total joint arthroplasty: rheumatoid arthritics were at 2.6 times greater risk than osteoarthritics; patients under... |
1 | Physiotherapy: an overestimated factor in after-treatment of fractures in the distal radius? | Distal Radius Fractures | Supervision by physiotherapists, starting 4-6 weeks after cast removal, was compared with self-training in 110 patients treated for Colles' fracture. The patients guided by physiotherapists were all satisfied with the treatment, but no functional advantages could be discerned when compared with self-training. |
0 | Fracture thresholds revisited. Geelong Osteoporosis Study | Management of Hip Fractures in the Elderly | Osteoporosis, in the absence of fracture, is defined as a deficit in bone mineral density (BMD) of 2.5 SD or more below the young adult reference mean in postmenopausal Caucasian populations. BMD is a measure of fracture risk but not the sole predictor. We have assessed a combination of easily accessible measures of ag... |
0 | Laser-assisted endoscopic reduction malarplasty in Asians: quick combined surgery | Upper Eyelid and Brow Surgery | Removal of unwanted prominent cheek bones is of major importance to Korean women for correction of their unfavorable impression. We usually use a endoscope for reducing the external scar, but in endoscopic bone contouring surgery, it is important to prevent any damage to surrounding soft tissue during osteotomy and to ... |
0 | Advances in the management of metastatic non-seminomatous germ cell tumours during the cisplatin era: a single-institution experience | MSTS 2022 - Metastatic Disease of the Humerus | Long-term outcome was reviewed in 266 consecutive patients with metastatic non-seminomatous germ cell tumours treated at a single institution. The overall 3 year survival was 77%, and 3 year progression-free survival was 71%. Multivariate analysis identified the following clinical features as independent prognostic fac... |
0 | Radiographic definition of the dorsal and palmar edges of the distal radius | Distal Radius Fractures | The dorsal and palmar edges of the distal radius, as well as the concavity of the articular surface were labeled with wire and radiographs taken from neutral to 30 degrees of added dorsal tilt. The dorsal edge was identified as the structure that protrudes distally in neutral. The palmar edge was found to overlap with ... |
