Purpose: We compared the time-course and magnitude of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thinning with that ganglion cell (RGC) loss after intraorbital optic transection (IONT) in adult rats. Methods: At 3, 7, 12, or 21 days, 1, 2, 4 months ONT, retinas were imaged spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) using circular-peripapillary scan volume raster pattern (61 horizontal sections equally spaced) both centered nerve. In all sections, RNFL thickness measured to obtain total...
The posterior wall fracture is the most frequent pattern of acetabular fractures. Many techniques fixation have been described in literature and involve plates, screws, or a combination both. This study aims to investigate clinical radiological outcomes spring plates treatment comminuted (2) Methods: A retrospective multicenter (four level I trauma centers) observational was performed. Patients with treated plate (DePuy Synthes, West Chester, PA) were included. Diagnosis made according Judet...
Abstract Purpose The optimal operative treatment for displaced acetabular fractures in elderly population is still object of debate. Acute fix and replace procedure, the so called “combined hip procedure” (CHP), was introduced because poor results open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) alone. aim study to compare clinical outcomes CHP ORIF alone patients. Methods This largest multicentric retrospective analytical study, with a case–control design on issue. Hospital records notes were...
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is widely used to manage severe osteoarthritis. However, conventional TKA (C-TKA) often leaves patients dissatisfied due suboptimal alignment and soft-tissue balance. Robotic-assisted (RA-TKA), particularly with imageless systems like the NAVIO Surgical System, promises enhanced accuracy improved outcomes. This study aims validate of RA-TKA in achieving functional (FA) explore learning curve associated this technique. A retrospective analysis included 101...
Background/Objectives: An Extensor Pollicis Longus (EPL) subcutaneous rupture is a substantial complication in post-traumatic or degenerative wrist and tendinous lesions. The diagnosis essentially dictated by clinical evaluation; fact, it characterized the inability to extend thumb interphalangeal joint retropose while hand resting on surface. transposition using Indicis Proprius (EIP) as donor tendon well-known surgical technique performed restore functional activity thumb, preferred for...
Infection after a total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is one of the most severe complications, with an incidence that ranged from 0,5 % to 1,8 %, while quadriceps tendon tear range 0.1 1.1 %. Dislocation TKA another rare but very serious complication 0.5 After all, association these three quickly occur together, extremely condition. Ninety years old man underwent for right osteoarthritis. During rehabilitation, patient had rupture and tenorrhaphy. Three months tenorrhaphy, on suspicion infection,...
(1) Background: Enchondroma is one of the most common primary tumors hand. Usually asymptomatic, it can present with pain, deformity, and sometimes pathologic fractures. Surgical treatment advised in these cases. Curettage basic treatment, but there no consensus literature regarding post-void filling. The aim our study to simple curettage early mobilization as a safe effective treatment. (2) Methods: We retrospectively analyzed patients treated at center between 2020 2024. Each patient was...
Hypophosphatemic rickets is a rare X-linked genetic disorder clinically characterized by bone deformities, especially localized in the lower limbs, such as varus and valgus knees. Diagnosis based on clinical observation biochemical parameters. Treatment pharmacological, however, if skeletal deformities are severe, it necessary surgical correction. We report two patients with hypophosphatemic severe knee. Both were surgically treated bilateral femoral tibial osteotomy, stabilized uniplanar...
Trapeziometacarpal joint osteoarthritis (TMJ OA) is a progressive condition, particularly affecting postmenopausal women. Various surgical techniques have been proposed, but the optimal approach remains debated. This clinical study compares clinical, functional, and radiological outcomes of two treatments: suspension tenoplasty using flexor carpi radialis tendon (Altissimi technique, AST) dual-mobility prosthesis. The main complications associated with these procedures include postoperative...
Purpose: To analyze the responses of different retinal ganglion cell (RGC) types to acute ocular hypertension (AOH) and intravitreal administration brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Methods: In adult albino rats, anterior chamber left eye was cannulated with a needle connected saline container elevated 1½ meters above for 75 minutes. Rats received 12 hours before 5 μl injection containing μg BDNF in 1% albumin PBS or vehicle were analyzed 3, 7, 14, 45 days later. Both retinas...
<p><strong>Aim <br /></strong>To evaluate the case series of patients operated with percutaneous fixation by navigation system based on 3D fluoroscopic images, to assess precision a surgical implant and functional outcome patients.<br /><strong>Methods /></strong>A retrospective study pelvic ring fractures in 2-year period included those treated use O-Arm 2 combination Stealth Station 8....
While anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL-R) has been considered the gold standard for ACL tears, renewed interest in repair emerged. This review aims to examine current knowledge regarding repair. A comprehensive literature search was conducted on PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Embase databases, focusing most recent studies up January 2024. Arthroscopic several advantages, such as resulting a natural with proprioceptive properties, preservation, donor graft comorbidity...
Robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA-TKA) has significantly improved surgery outcomes in the last few years. However, its association with periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) rate remains debatable. This study investigates incidence of early and delayed PJI a multicentric cohort patients who underwent RA-TKA, aiming to elucidate risk associated this procedure.
To analyse miRNA regulation in a rat model of acute ocular hypertension (AOH).Acute (AOH) was induced the left eye adult albino rats by inserting cannula connected with saline container into anterior chamber. The contralateral served as control. Seven days later, animals were killed. Retinas used either for quantitative analysis retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and microglial or array hybridization, qRT-PCR Western blotting.Anatomically, AOH caused axonal degeneration, significant loss RGCs...
Recently, increased attention on regenerative medicine and biological injective treatments have been proposed to restore native cartilage. Micro-fragmented adipose tissue (MFAT) has studied for its anti-inflammatory, paracrine, immunomodulatory effects. The long-term effects of MFAT are still poorly understood: the aim present study is demonstrate how hip articular injections with autologous can an impact clinical outcomes.
Abstract Purpose Among the functional impairments associated with pelvic ring injuries (PRI), sexual dysfunction (SD) is a common clinical issue. The aim of this study to investigate correlations between traumatic PRI, genitourinary, and dysfunctions, for proper multidisciplinary treatment. Methods We performed an observational, multicentric study, from January 2020 2022. conducted follow-up after surgery at three, six, 12, 24 months by measuring Female Sexual Functioning Index (FSFI),...
