<b>Background:</b> Auricular acupuncture is a promising method for postoperative pain relief. However, there no evidence its use after ambulatory surgery. Our aim was to test whether auricular better than invasive needle control complementary analgesia knee <b>Methods:</b> One hundred and twenty patients undergoing arthroscopic surgery under standardized general anesthesia were randomly assigned receive or procedure. Fixed indwelling needles inserted before retained in situ until the...
Abstract Introduction The treatment option for borderline hip dysplasia (BHD) includes arthroscopy and periacetabular osteotomy (PAO). To the present day controversial discussion remains, which intervention to prefer. Literature reports supporting an educated choice are scare, based on small patient cohorts do not address variability of acetabular morphology. Consequently, we intended report PAO outcomes, from patients diagnosed with BHD, dependent morphology, in a large cohort aimed define...
Aims Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is well established for acetabular reorientation and has shown successful improvement in patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). Nevertheless, studies focusing on postoperative outcomes related to patient individual factors are still underrepresented. Therefore, this study aimed analyze the functional activity level relation sex with a minimum follow-up of two years after PAO mild severe hip dysplasia. Methods A single-centre was conducted, enrolling...
Abstract Purpose The functional hip–spine interaction is increasingly noted in hip preservation by periacetabular osteotomy (PAO), while potentially affecting the impingement‐free acetabular reorientation. However, clinically relevant sex‐related differences lumbopelvic alignment have been poorly studied. Thus, purpose of this study was to evaluate a matched PAO patient cohort for alignment. Methods Out 138 patients undergoing between January 2024 and September at one high‐volume centre,...
Population-based cohort study.We examined associations between common lumbar degenerative changes observed on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and present or future low back pain (LBP).The association MRI findings LBP is unclear. Longitudinal studies are sparse.Participants (n = 3369) from a population-based study were imaged at entry, with status measured baseline 6-year follow-up. scans reported for the presence of range findings. was 0 to 10 scale. Regression models used estimate...
The objective was to evaluate clinical outcome and safety of arthroscopic, autologous minced cartilage implantation for acetabular lesions observed during hip arthroscopy treat femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS).
Auricular acupuncture (AA) is effective in treating various pain conditions, but there have been no analyses of AA for the treatment after ambulatory knee surgery. We assessed range analgesic requirements under arthroscopy. Twenty patients randomly received a true procedure (Lung, Shenmen and Knee points) or sham (three non-acupuncture points on auricular helix) before Permanent press needles were retained situ one day Post-operative was treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory...
The number of septic total hip arthroplasty (THA) revisions is increasing continuously, placing a growing financial burden on hospitals. Orthopedic departments performing THA have no basis for decision making regarding resource allocation as the costs this procedure are unknown. It widely assumed that procedures can only be performed at loss department. Therefore, purpose study was to investigate whether assumption true by detailed analysis and revenues two-stage revision. Patients who...
Background Benign osseous lesions of the spine are common but precise population prevalence estimates lacking. Our study aimed to provide first population-based and examine association with back neck pain. Materials methods We used data from Study Health in Pomerania (SHIP). Whole-body MRI examinations (1.5 Tesla: T1, T2, TIRM weightings) were available 3,259 participants. Readings spinal images conducted according a standardized protocol by single reader (JS). The intra-rater reliability...
Performance of a periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) using minimally invasive approach for three-dimensional correction the acetabular position.Symptomatic developmental dysplasia hip in adolescents and adults.Advanced osteoarthritis hip, incongruence joint surfaces.A is performed via approach.In total, 39 patients were followed up 3.5 (3-4.5) years. The lateral center-edge angle Wiberg increased significantly from 16.1° (7-24°) to 30.5° (25-37°) (p < 0.0001), index changed 13.2° (2-25.3°) 2.8°...
Background: periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is known as the gold standard surgical treatment in young adults with symptomatic hip dysplasia. With aim of reducing soft tissue trauma, we developed a new rectus and sartorius sparing (RASS) approach. We hypothesized that this PAO technique was equal regarding acetabular reorientation, complication rate, short-term clinical outcome parameters, compared to our conventional, (RS) Patients Methods: retrospectively assessed all procedures performed by...
We aimed to determine the accuracy and reliability of measures characterizing anterior, lateral, posterior acetabular coverage on intraoperative fluoroscopic images compared postoperative radiographs when performing periacetabular osteotomies (PAOs). A study involving 100 PAOs was initiated applying a standardized imaging protocol. Coverage determined by lateral center edge angle (LCEA), Tönnis (TA), anterior wall index (AWI, PWI). An intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) model used...
Psychologic comorbidities have been identified as risk factors for poor outcomes in orthopedic procedures, but their influence on the outcome of hip-preserving periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) remains uncertain. This retrospective cohort study aimed to assess impact patients’ psychological health PAO patients with hip dysplasia (HD) and acetabular retroversion (AR). The included 110 undergoing HD or AR between 2019 2021. Standardized questionnaires were administered factors, postoperative...

Many aspects of the performance different implant designs remain as open questions in total hip arthroplasty. Despite increased survivorship each replacement, amount bone removed during surgery remains an important factor because potential need for revision surgery. Given that a smaller will have less surface area over which to transfer load, constructs preserve more stock may be susceptible mechanical complications related fixation femur. To assess fixation, this study compared fiber metal...
