Abstract Purpose The primary objective of the present study was to evaluate if robotic‐assisted total knee arthroplasty (RO‐TKA) results in improved accuracy compared conventional TKA (CO‐TKA) with respect alignment and component positioning executing a preoperative digital plan. secondary compare patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs) between two groups at 6 months follow‐up (FU). Methods Patients who underwent using concept constitutional were identified from database. Each patient...
Abstract Purpose This study aimed to assess the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) angle in anterior (ACL) deficient knees and correlate it with anatomical demographic factors such as tibial slope, translation, age, gender, time of injury. Material methods Patients were eligible for inclusion if they clinically diagnosed an ACL tear confirmed by MRI. For each patient, following parameters evaluated: PCL (PCLA), medial slope (MTS), lateral (LTS), translation (MATT), (LATT). Results A total 193...
Abstract COVID-19 negatively affected surgical activity, but the potential benefits resulting from adopted measures remain unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate change in activity and benefit perspective Italian surgeons on behalf SPIGC. A nationwide online survey practice before, during, after pandemic conducted March–April 2022 (NCT:05323851). Effects hospital-related patients’ management personal professional development across specialties were explored. Data demographics,...
The thoraco-lumbar bracing is an effective management of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Studies have shown that brace wearing reduces lung volume. Whether or not the Sforzesco brace, frequently used in Italy, affects volume has been investigated. We studied immediate effect on volumes 11 AIS patients (10 F, 1 M; aged 13.6 ± 1.6 yrs) mean Cobb angle 26 4.49 degrees. Lung function variables and perceived respiratory effort were recorded twice, before 5 min after bracing. one-way...
Avulsion fractures of the pelvis and hip region are typical injuries in adolescent athletes. sites include muscle tendon origin or insertion, treating these surgically conservatively remains a debated issue. The main goals this review were to assess summarize injury types sites, treatment-related clinical outcomes, return sport for patients with avulsion fracture provide support making treatment decisions. PubMed database was searched November 2021 identify all published articles from 2000...
Physical and psychological health concerns have been raised due to either spine deformity or orthotic treatment in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis. To determine whether bracing duration affects stress health-related quality of life, a sample 46 patients (8M, 38F, aged 11-17 years, regularly treated bracing) moderate severe scoliosis were separated into two groups based on their was up six months longer. The brace-related levels life investigated both by using the Bad Sobernheim Stress...
Postural balance is an important but not well-studied concept in the treatment of adolescent scoliosis. The aim this study was to assess whether conservative with Sforzesco bracing induced negative perturbations on postural stability, as related static, postural, and dynamic baropodometric indicators. Twelve subjects (12 females, aged 11−16) moderate AIS, were selected among a group 97 patients. Inclusion criteria were: (1) confirmed diagnosis AIS (Cobb angle 21° 35° for primary curve); (2)...
Abstract Background Postural balance is an important but not well-studied concept in the treatment of adolescent scoliosis. Objectives The aim this study was to assess whether conservative with Sforzesco bracing induced negative perturbations on postural stability, as related static, postural, and dynamic baropodometric indicators. Methods From November 2020 October 2021, 12 subjects (12 females, aged 11 – 16) moderate AIS, were selected among a group 97 patients. Inclusion criteria were: 1)...
