Nonoperative Biological Treatment Approach for Partial Achilles Tendon LesionOrthopedics - Tập 33 Số 2 - Trang 120-123 - 2010
Giuseppe Filardo, Mirco Lo Presti, Elizaveta Kon, Maurilio Marcacci
Tendon injuries, especially those of the Achilles tendon, are major concerns in sports medicine. The clinical presentation can be acute or chronic and the pathologic findings can range from peritendonitis to full-thickness tendon rupture. Nonsurgical treatment is not always successful; in particular, significant partial ruptures seem to respond poorly to conservative measures and do not im...... hiện toàn bộ
Platelet-Rich Plasma Injection Reduces Pain in Patients with Recalcitrant EpicondylitisOrthopedics - Tập 34 Số 2 - 2011
Keith S. Hechtman, John W. Uribe, Angie Botto-vanDemden, Gary M. Kiebzak
Thirty patients (31 elbows) with epicondylitis unresponsive to nonsurgical treatment (including steroid injection) for >6 months received a single treatment of platelet-rich plasma injected with a peppering technique. Patients were followed using a 5-subcategory visual analog scale (VAS) for pain (0, no pain; 10, worst possible pain), modified American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons assess...... hiện toàn bộ
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
CURRENT PROCEDURES FOR BANKING ALLOGRAFT HUMAN BONEOrthopedics - Tập 15 Số 10 - Trang 1161-1167 - 1992
Nelson Scarborough
ABSTRACT
The demand for bone and soft tissues for surgical usage has increased rapidly as the efficacy and safety of these materials has been demonstrated. Advances in technology and procedures used to prepare the tissues have also grown in sophistication and remain a dynamic area. How tissue banks screen donors and prepare allografts impacts on the risks and ben...... hiện toàn bộ
Arthrodesis Versus ORIF for Lisfranc FracturesOrthopedics - Tập 35 Số 6 - 2012
Shahin Sheibani-Rad, J. C. Coetzee, M. Russell Giveans, Christopher W. DiGiovanni
The Lisfranc joints make up the bony structural support of the transverse arch in the midfoot and account for approximately 0.2% of all fractures. Early recognition and treatment of this injury are paramount to preserving normal foot biomechanics and function. Controversy exists regarding the optimal treatment of patients with Lisfranc injuries, particularly when the instability is entirel...... hiện toàn bộ
Patellar Sleeve Fracture With Ossification of the Patellar TendonOrthopedics - Tập 40 Số 2 - 2017
Derek S. Damrow, Scott Van Valin
Patellar sleeve fractures make up greater than 50% of all patellar fractures. They are essentially only seen in the pediatric population because of the thick periosteum and the distal patellar pole apophysis in this group. These fractures can lead to complications if not treated appropriately and in a timely fashion. Complications of missed or untreated patellar sleeve fractur...... hiện toàn bộ
Smoking Synthetic Marijuana Leads to Self-Mutilation Requiring Bilateral AmputationsOrthopedics - Tập 37 Số 4 - 2014
Karim A. Meijer, Russell R. Russo, Dhaval V. Adhvaryu
Synthetic cannabinoids have become a worldwide epidemic because they provide a sometimes legal, easily accessible, and presumably safe alternative to marijuana. Recently published reports have linked acute psychosis, myocardial infarctions, convulsions, self-harm, and even terrorist organizations to these designer substances. This case report outlines the first reported case of Black Diamo...... hiện toàn bộ
Accuracy of the Subchondral Smile and Surface Referencing Techniques in Reverse Shoulder ArthroplastyOrthopedics - Tập 39 Số 4 - 2016
Matthew F. Dilisio, Jon J.P. Warner, Gilles Walch
Inferior glenoid baseplate tilt relative to the coronal axis of the scapular body has been associated with improved results and fewer postoperative complications in reverse shoulder arthroplasty. However, the native glenoid surface is not always a reliable reference for the true scapular axis. Digital preoperative planning software and advanced imaging now allow surgeons to mo...... hiện toàn bộ
