Hip fracture is common in the elderly and it usually associated with comorbidities physiological changes which may have an impact on functioning quality of life. The concept resilience explain why this varies among patients. aim open, prospective cohort study was to explore relationships between resilience, frailty life orthopedic rehabilitation patients, also assess whether these factors might affect outcome. Eighty-one older than 60 years, underwent a multidisciplinary assessment at...
Haemophilia is a recessive X-linked inherited bleeding disorder, whose typical symptom spontaneous intra-articular haemorrhage leading to joint damage, which can be quantified by the Joint Health Score (HJHS). Arthropathy and other characteristics of haemophilic patients may reduce bone mineral density (BMD), increasing risk for fragility fractures, also occur due quality impairment.To evaluate quantity BMD Trabecular Bone (TBS), strain (BS) hip structural analysis (HSA) in population,...
Treatment selection for idiopathic scoliosis is informed by the risk of curve progression. Previous models predicting progression lacked validation, did not include full growth/severity spectrum or included treated patients. The objective was to develop and validate predict future angles using clinical data collected only at, both at prior to, an initial specialist consultation in scoliosis.
The aim of this investigation was to assess resilience within an elderly population during postacute rehabilitation for orthopedic surgery and identify the role on outcomes by comparing hip fracture elective patients (total knee arthroplasty).We conducted a prospective study in department.On admission discharge, 80 aged over 60 years underwent multidimensional evaluation with Resilience Scale, Functional Independence Measure (FIM), Multidimensional Prognostic Index, World Health Organization...
Abstract Purpose In-brace radiograph of adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) has been shown to reflect brace efficacy and the possibility achieving curve correction. Conversely, first out-of-brace could demonstrate patient’s ability maintain We aimed determine which two radiographs is best predictor Cobb angle at end treatment (final radiograph). Design Retrospective cohort study a prospective dataset. Methods The population was selected based on following inclusion criteria: AIS, age...
