The influence of standard meniscus treatment strategies regarding osteoarthritic progress, function, and sports activity has not been estimated in a direct long-term comparison.Meniscal repair compared with partial meniscectomy (partial meniscal resection) decreases changes reduces the effect on follow-up.Cohort study; Level evidence, 3.Eighty-one patients an arthroscopic shape-preserving surgery after isolated traumatic medial tear (repair: n = 42; meniscectomy: 39) were examined clinically...
Background: Reports of return to shoulder-dependent sport after surgical stabilization previously underestimated impairments, which were not reflected in the score systems used. Hypothesis: Return depends on type performed. Study Design: Case series; Level evidence, 4. Methods: Forty-seven athletes (26.9 years age at surgery) who underwent isolated arthroscopic Bankart repair longitudinally monitored by sport-specific activity (Shoulder Sport Activity Score [SSAS]) and ability (Athletic...
The stabilization strategy for acute high-grade acromioclavicular (AC) joint separations with AC-stabilizing clavicular hook plate (cHP) or coracoclavicular (CC)-stabilizing double double-button suture (dDBS) is still under consideration.The CC-stabilizing dDBS superior to the cHP according an AC-specific radiologic assessment and score system.Cohort study; Level of evidence, 2.Seventy-three consecutive patients AC separation were prospectively followed in 2 treatment groups (64.4%...
Background: Treatment of first-time shoulder dislocation (FSD) is a topic debate. After high rates recurrent instability after nonoperative management were reported in the literature, primary repair FSD significantly increased. At same time, new concepts proposed that had promising results for immobilization external rotation (ER) and abduction (ABD). Purpose: The aim this study was to evaluate recurrence (primary outcome) clinical outcomes (secondary outcome parameters) ER+ABD versus...
Different indications and treatment options for combined injuries to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) medial collateral complex (MCL) are not clearly defined.To perform a modified Delphi process with Committee Ligament Injuries of German Knee Society (DKG) in order structure optimize treating injury ACL MCL.Consensus statement.Scientific questions answers were created based on comprehensive literature review using central registers controlled studies Medline, Scopus, Cochrane including...
Implementing evidence-based recommendations with the option of patient-individualised and situation-specific adaptations in telerehabilitation may increase adherence improved clinical outcome.
ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to find contributors return sport (RTS) success or time until RTS in patients after an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction aiming RTS.DesignCohort study. Setting: Secondary analysis the data two intervention studies. Participants.We included adults <36 years age with a tendon autograft ACL who were active any type prior injury and RTS. All participants prospectively monitored for 24 months. Interventions: At end individual post-surgery...
Abstract Objectives/Hypothesis The present report is a pilot clinical study about new bipolar ablation technique for the treatment of turbinate hypertrophy, which offers an alternative to conventional methods. Study Design Prospective, clinical. Methods From August 1999 March 2000, radiofrequency system with acoustic feedback control was submucosally applied 38 patients nasal airway obstruction vasomotor (n = 31) or allergic 7) genesis. therapy made ambulatory surface anesthesia. Data were...
Background: Recurrent instability following primary arthroscopic stabilization of the shoulder is a common complication. Young, athletic patients are at greatest risk recurring instability. To date, literature contains insufficient description regarding whether return to sports possible after revision Bankart repair. Hypothesis: Patients presenting with recurrent should expect limitations in terms their ability partake sporting activities surgery. Study Design: Case series; Level evidence,...
Objective : To rate athletes’ functional ability and return to sport (RTS) success at the end of their individual, formal, medically prescribed rehabilitation after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Methods In our prospective multicenter cohort study, 88 (42 females) adults aged 18–35 years acute unilateral ACL rupture subsequent hamstring grafting were included. All patients prospectively monitored during RTS process until formal release. As outcome measures, hop jump tests...
