IMMUNE RESPONSES TO OSTEOCHONDRAL ALLOGRAFTS: NATURE AND SIGNIFICANCEOrthopedics - Tập 15 Số 10 - Trang 1171-1175 - 1992
Gary E. Friedlaender, Mark C. Horowitz
ABSTRACT
Osteochondral allografts evoke immune responses. The nature of these immune responses and their biologic significance are still only partially understood. It is clear, however, that cell surface antigens of the major histocompatibility complex represented on the cellular elements of bone grafts cause T-cell activation, specifically those of the suppresso...... hiện toàn bộ
Is Antibiotic Prophylaxis Necessary in Elective Soft Tissue Hand Surgery?Orthopedics - Tập 35 Số 6 - 2012
Rick Tosti, John R. Fowler, Joe Dwyer, Mitchell Maltenfort, Joseph J. Thoder, Asif M. Ilyas
Antibiotic prophylaxis for clean soft tissue hand surgery is not yet defined. Current literature focuses on overall orthopedic procedures, traumatic hand surgery, and carpal tunnel release. However, a paucity of data exists regarding the role of antibiotic prophylaxis in a broader variety of soft tissue hand procedures. The goal of the current study was to evaluate the rates of surgical si...... hiện toàn bộ
Comparison of Open and Percutaneous Lumbar Pedicle Screw Revision Rate Using 3-D Image Guidance and Intraoperative CTOrthopedics - Tập 38 Số 2 - 2015
Edward Rainier G. Santos, Jonathan N. Sembrano, Sharon C. Yson, David W. Polly
Complications arising from a malpositioned screw can be both devastating and costly. The incidence of neurologic injury secondary to a malpositioned screw is reported to be as high as 7% to 12%. The advancement of image-guided technology has allowed surgeons to place screws more accurately and confirm correct placement prior to leaving the operating room. Only a small number o...... hiện toàn bộ
Minimal Incision Total Knee Arthroplasty Using the Suspended Leg TechniqueOrthopedics - Tập 26 Số 9 - Trang 899-903 - 2003
Peter M. Bonutti, David J Neal, Mark Kester
This article describes an approach to minimize the soft-tissue trauma associated with total knee arthroplasty. A suspended leg technique provides full access to the knee by using flexion and the weight of the limb to stretch the incision. Violation of the extensor mechanism is minimized and soft-tissue balancing is enhanced with the suspended technique.
The Use of Three-Dimensional Computed Tomography in Evaluating Snapping Scapula SyndromeOrthopedics - Tập 22 Số 11 - Trang 1029-1033 - 1999

ABSTRACT
This article evaluates imaging of the scapula and scapulothoracic joint in patients with snapping scapula, syndrome. Between 1990 and 1996, a total of 20 patients (1 0 men and 1 0 women) with snapping scapula syndrome were evaluated. Diagnosis was based on patient complaints and physical examination findings. There were 26 affected scapulae (6 patients h...... hiện toàn bộ
Hospital Readmission Rates Following Outpatient Versus Inpatient Shoulder ArthroplastyOrthopedics - Tập 44 Số 2 - 2021
Andrew B. Harris, Matthew J. Best, Scott Weiner, Hari Om Gupta, Sabrina G. Jenkins, Uma Srikumaran
Outpatient total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) is an alternative to surgery with inpatient admission for appropriate patients. Controlled studies assessing differences in perioperative outcomes between inpatient and outpatient TSA are lacking. In this study, the primary outcome was 30-day all-cause hospital readmission following inpatient vs outpatient TSA. The National Surgical...... hiện toàn bộ
Flexion Contracture Following Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty: Risk Factors and OutcomesOrthopedics - Tập 34 Số 12 - 2011
Stuart Goudie, A.H. Deakin, Aftab Ahmad, Ramesh Maheshwari, F. Picard
Function and satisfaction after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are partially linked to postoperative range of motion (ROM). Fixed flexion contracture is a recognized complication of TKA that reduces ROM and is a source of morbidity for patients. This study aimed to identify preoperative risk factors for developing fixed flexion contracture following TKA and to quantify the effe...... hiện toàn bộ
