1 | Comparison of T2* mapping between regular echo time and ultrashort echo time with 3D cones at 3 tesla for knee meniscus | AMP (Acute Meniscal Pathology) | The objectives of this study were to compare the ultrashort T2* relaxation time with the T2* relaxation time using the 3 dimensional (3D) cones sequence in 3 groups of patients with normal, degenerated, and torn knee menisci, and to demonstrate the additional effect of the ultrashort echo time (UTE) signal intensity. F... |
0 | Intramedullary clavicle fixation with single large fragmentary screw | DoD SSI (Surgical Site Infections) | BACKGROUND: The treatment of clavicle fractures has historically been nonoperative, but several studies have recently shown the merits of operative management for specific fractures patterns. We developed a novel technique utilizing a 6.5-mm cannulated screw for fixation of displaced midshaft clavicle fractures.

0 | The impact of occupational injury on injured worker and family: outcomes of upper extremity cumulative trauma disorders in Maryland workers | Diagnosis and Treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome CPG | BACKGROUND: Surveys have identified a dramatically rising incidence of work-related upper extremity cumulative trauma disorders (UECTDs). Outcome studies have addressed time lost from work and cost of compensation; omitting other significant consequences. We assess health, functional and family outcomes. METHODS: We id... |
1 | Radiofrequency - An interventional method of chronic pain treatment: Mechanisms of analgesic action, indications and application in selected pain syndromes | OAK 3 - Non-arthroplasty tx of OAK | Conventional radiofrequency (CRF) is an interventional chronic pain treatment method with the use of electromagnetic waves at the frequency of radio waves (or higher) consisting in a controlled use of high temperature in order to destroy sympathetic and/or sensory fibres. Application time equals 60s and the temperature... |
0 | Fee-based care is important for access to prompt treatment of hip fractures among veterans | HipFx Supplemental Cost Analysis | BACKGROUND: Hip fracture is a medical emergency for which delayed treatment increases risk of disability and death. In emergencies, veterans without access to a Veterans Administration (VA) hospital may be admitted to non-VA hospitals under fee-based (NVA-FB) care paid by the VA. The affect of NVA-FB care for treatment... |
0 | Quantitative ultrasound of the heel and fracture risk assessment: an updated meta-analysis | Management of Hip Fractures in the Elderly | Meta-analysis of prospective studies shows that quantitative ultrasound of the heel using validated devices predicts risk of different types of fracture with similar performance across different devices and in elderly men and women. These predictions are independent of the risk estimates from hip DXA measures. INTRODUC... |
0 | Preoperative plasma B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) identifies abnormal transthoracic echocardiography in elderly patients with traumatic hip fracture | Management of Hip Fractures in the Elderly | INTRODUCTION: This prospective study was designed to evaluate whether preoperative plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) could identify significant preoperative cardiovascular disease in elderly hip-fractured patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Preoperative plasma BNP measurement and rest transthoracic echocardiography (T... |
0 | Human cartilage from late stage familial osteoarthritis transcribes type II collagen mRNA encoding a cysteine in position 519 | Surgical Management of Osteoarthritis of the Knee CPG | A single base change resulting in the substitution of Cys for Arg at position 519 of the type II collagen triple helix is a predisposing factor in the pathogenesis of a precocious-onset form of familial osteoarthritis associated with a mild chondrodysplasia. Cartilage obtained at the time of total knee replacement in a... |
1 | Magnetic resonance imaging after endoscopic carpal tunnel release | Diagnosis and Treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome CPG | PURPOSE: To determine with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) the morphologic changes in the carpal tunnel and median nerve 3 months after endoscopic carpal tunnel release (ECTR). METHODS: We enrolled patients who had complete resolution of numbness and pain by 6 weeks after ECTR. Patients who met these inclusion criteri... |
1 | Trauma centre experience: flap reconstruction of traumatic lower limb injuries | DoD LSA (Limb Salvage vs Amputation) | BACKGROUND: Decision-making in the management of combined major skeletal and soft tissue trauma to the lower limb is a complex process made more difficult by the uncertainty surrounding outcomes. The aim of this study was to review and present our experience with flap reconstruction of traumatic lower limb defects, wit... |
0 | Treatment of fractures of the femoral neck by replacement with the Thompson prosthesis | Management of Hip Fractures in the Elderly | The case histories of 361 subcapital fractures of the femoral neck in 354 patients treated by primary replacement with the cemented Thompson prosthesis were reviewed, and 156 survivors were seen at follow-up. The average age was eighty-one years. Three hundred and thirty fractures occurred in women and thirty-one in me... |
1 | Cemented Vs Uncemented modular Bipolar hemiarthroplasty treatment for femoral neck fracture in elderly patients | Hip Fx in the Elderly 2019 | Objectives Femoral neck fractures in the elderly are associated with high morbidity and mortality. The optimal treatment remains controversial regarding the use of cement in hemiarthroplasty when treating a displaced femoral neck fracture in elderly patients. The primary hypothesis of this study was that the use of cem... |
0 | Factors influencing further acupuncture usage and a more positive outcome in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee and the hip: a 3-year follow-up of a randomized pragmatic trial | OAK 3 - Non-arthroplasty tx of OAK | OBJECTIVE: Considering the chronicity of osteoarthritis-associated pain, we aimed to evaluate long-term outcome differences between patients who received immediate or delayed acupuncture in addition to usual care, and to identify predictors for further acupuncture usage and a better long-term outcome.
