The aim of the study was to conduct a comprehensive functional and radiological follow-up assessment in patients at least 10 years after adductor magnus MPFL reconstruction, assess presence early degenerative changes.The mean age time surgery 16 (range: 8 18 years, SD 2.5). examination performed following reconstruction (mean 11 years). Twenty-one (26 operated knees) attended follow-up. 25.1 (range 20-29 years).The significant improvement observed 3 indicated by Kujala Lysholm scores,...
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common degenerative joint disease, and its aetiology not entirely known. The aim of study was to evaluate involvement interleukin-18 (IL-18) interleukin-20 (IL-20) in pathogenesis knee OA their correlations with other markers inflammation destruction cartilage, as well clinical radiological changes.The included 25 patients a control group. concentration IL-18, IL-20, IL-6, MMP-1, MMP-3, COMP, PG-AG, YKL-40 serum synovial fluid (SF) were determined. We also...
Abstract Background Biomechanical studies indicate that during outward rotation of the tibia and valgus knee joint position, patella is shifted in lateral direction. After first-time patellar dislocation, dynamic position femur relation to plays an important role stability, because medial stabilizer (mostly MPFL) damaged or inefficient. The most factor controlling rotational movement thigh are hamstring muscles. aim study therefore determine whether patients with instability have a...
Although the pathomechanism of isolated infraspinatus atrophy (ISA) in throwing sports is known to be traction, it unclear why only some players are affected. One likely explanation that pulling force exerted by its contracture generate compressive resultant component (Fn) compressing lateral trunk suprascapular nerve (LTSN) against edge scapular spine. This paper makes two key assumptions (1) course LTSN relation spine, defined as suprascapular-scapular spine angle (SSSA) individual...
The aim of this study was to find characteristic biomarkers in the serum patients with osteoarthritis (OA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) responsible for inflammation destruction joint cartilage, which could differentiate these two diseases. included 67 people: 22 knee OA, PsA, 23 individuals who were control group healthy (HC). concentration IL-18, IL-20, IL-6, MMP-1, MMP-3, COMP, PG-AG, YKL-40 determined. Among OA PsA group, radiological assessment clinical also performed. 7 out 8 examined...
Abstract We perform prospective study to evaluate the isokinetic performance of quadriceps before and 1 year after medial patella-femoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction with adductor magnus tendon in case recurrent patellar dislocation. The present is first describe function involved uninvolved extremity, such a wide range. MPFL crucial passive stabilizer patella and, along conditions anatomical shape femoral-patellar joint quadriceps, influences overall stability. However, only few studies...
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study is to compare the prevalence joint hypermobility between patients with patellar recurrent dislocation and those without.METHODS: In total, 287 participants were included in study. divided into control groups. former comprised 74 a prior diagnosis (mean age 17.7±3.6 years, range 12-26). group 213 15.7±2.6 12-21) no injury their medical history. examined according Beighton Scale as part routine clinical assessment during admission clinic before surgery or...
Abstract The aim of this study was to assess the coexistence polymorphisms COL1A1 and COL5A1 genes with clinically diagnosed laxity occurrence recurrent patellar dislocation in adolescents. research group comprised 50 cases dislocation. mean age at diagnosis 14.2 years (10–17, SD 2.6). control consisted 199 participants without a dislocation, 15.2 (10–17 years, 2.7). Joint by Beighton scale assessed. Analysis allele distribution analysed revealed no statistically significant difference...
Full-thickness rotator cuff tear is present in almost 50% of patients over age 65 years, and its degree known to be a good predictor the severity muscle-wasting (MW) sarcopaenia, also as fatty degeneration (FD). A FD CT grade > 2° recognized borderline reversibility. disuse model supraspinatus (grade 2) rabbits provides clinically relevant data. Therefore, study evaluates correlation between eccentric mechanotransduction, neuromuscular transmission (NT), reversibility muscle infiltration...
Late diagnosis and treatment of septic arthritis (SA) after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL-R) can lead to graft cartilage damage. Pathogen eradication time may be the key preventing development osteoarthritis. The purpose this study was evaluate effect proposed management SA ACL-R on knee function, pathogen status MRI. Five patients with acute were included in study. All five underwent arthroscopic debridement lavage flow drainage physiological saline vancomycin. clinical...
