The aim of this study is to present a newly developed automated method determine radiographic measurements hip morphology on dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) images. secondary was compare the performance and manual measurements.
Background: Responsiveness and the minimal important change (MIC) are measurement properties to evaluate treatment effects interpret clinical trial results. The International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) Subjective Form is a reliable valid instrument for measuring patient-reported knee-specific symptoms, functioning, sports activities in population with meniscal tears. However, evidence on responsiveness of limited methodological quality, MIC has not yet been established patients...
It is unknown whether the treatment effects of partial meniscectomy and physical therapy differ when focusing on activities most valued by patients with degenerative meniscal tears.To compare in a tear, patients' important functional limitations as outcome.Randomized controlled trial; Level evidence, 1.This study part Cost-effectiveness Early Surgery versus Conservative Treatment Optional Delayed Meniscectomy for Patients over 45 years non-obstructive tears (ESCAPE) trial, multicenter...
Marker-by-treatment analyses are promising new methods in internal medicine, but have not yet been implemented orthopaedics. With this analysis, specific cut-off points may be obtained, that can potentially identify whether meniscal surgery or physical therapy is the superior intervention for an individual patient. This study aimed to introduce a novel approach orthopaedic research relevant treatment selection markers affect outcome following patients with degenerative tears.Data were...
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) with a dislocated can be treated traction before closed reduction (CR). Currently, there is insufficient evidence supporting use preoperative treatment for successful CR. The objective this study was to determine effect on success rate primary CR in DDH patients hips. A retrospective pair-matched performed Patients prior were matched (based age and severity radiograph) without treatment. outcome presence or absence maintained after three weeks. match...
Abstract Purpose Although physical therapy is the recommended treatment in patients over 45 years old with a degenerative meniscal tear, 24% still opt for surgery. The aim was to identify those tear who will undergo surgery following therapy. Methods data this study were generated arm of ESCAPE trial, randomized clinical trial investigating effectiveness versus 45–70 old, tear. At 6 and 24 months divided into two groups: did not surgery, Two multivariable prognostic models developed using...
Hegemann disease and fishtail deformity are classified as growth disturbances in the physeal plate of humeral trochlea. It is questionable if these 2 diseases should be considered distinct conditions. The aims this study to (1) point out similarities between both conditions, (2) discuss etiology, (3) provide diagnostic tools.In a multicenter prospective cohort study, 19 patients with disturbance trochlea were included. Assessment consisted detailed history, physical examination, standard...
There are few validated predictors of the need for additional surgery in idiopathic clubfeet treated according to Ponseti method. Our aim was examine if physical examination (Pirani score) and radiographs at age three months (after initial correction clubfeet) can predict future surgery. In this retrospective cohort study, were made months. The Pirani score determined first cast, before tenotomy, Follow-up least five years. correlation between radiograph, score, explored with logistic...
Abstract Background Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) is one most common pediatric orthopedic disorders, affecting 1–3% all newborns. The optimal treatment centered DDH currently under debate. This randomized controlled trial aims to study (cost-)effectiveness active monitoring versus abduction for infants with DDH. Methods a multicenter, parallel-group, open-label, non-inferiority studying in fourteen hospitals Netherlands. In total, 800 (Graf IIa-/IIb/IIc), aged 10–16 weeks, will be...
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is most common musculoskeletal abnormality in infants and young children. Despite fact that left frequently affected, literature clinical experience suggest a poorer outcome for right-sided dislocation DDH. On basis this hypothesis, we studied outcomes (residual dysplasia, number surgeries, complication rate) unilateral comparison with left-sided DDH up to 8 years follow-up.We identified all patients at Erasmus MC Sophia Children's Hospital from 2002...
