Sixteen patients aged 19 to 63 years (average, 52 years) were observed from 1.8 5.6 3.8 after open reduction and internal fixation with or without external of 3- 4-part displaced fractures the proximal humerus.

Synovial hypervascularity is a prominent pathologic feature in osteoarthritic (OA) joints. Wnt inhibitor Dkk-1 contributes to joint remodeling. We undertook this study investigate whether regulates cartilage destruction activities OA synovial fibroblasts.Synovial tissues were harvested from knees of patients with and injured non-OA who underwent arthroscopy. Expression Dkk-1, angiogenic factors (stromal cell-derived factor 1 colony-stimulating 1), proteinases (ADAMTS-5 matrix...
Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) had been proved to be beneficial in calcific tendinosis; however, the treatment efficacy noncalcific tendinosis of rotator cuff still remains controversial. The present study was compare outcomes ESWT among and different types on basis similar shoulder functional status.A retrospective, comparative conducted with enrollment 20 patients each group through propensity score matching a 1:1:1 ratio from 291 who underwent single for painful tendinosis. were...
Background: Bone mineral density decreases after total knee arthroplasty and is believed to affect prosthetic fixation. Treatment with alendronate has been shown improve short-term bone arthroplasty; however, the long-term effects of this therapy are unknown. The purpose study was evaluate a six-month course on arthroplasty. Methods: Sixty patients were randomly assigned receive either oral at dosage 10 mg/day for six months or no alendronate. in distal aspect femur proximal tibia measured...
Overgrowth after pediatric femoral shaft fractures is well documented; however, overgrowth of the neck hip has not been especially reported previously. The purpose this study was to evaluate incidence and characteristics in children. From January 1990 December 2012, there were 30 consecutive patients with fractures. We retrospectively reviewed medical record all patients, including age at injury, gender, injury mechanism, fracture type, methods treatment, time bony union, complications....
Conservative treatments for early osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee included use non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and intra-articular hyaluronic acid (HA) injection. Recently, several animal studies reported that extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) demonstrated chondroprotective effects on OA. The present study compared efficacy oral NSAIDs, HA injection, noninvasive ESWT OA knee. Forty-five patients with were randomized into three groups. NSAIDs group received celecoxib 200 mg...
Abstract Introduction The sural sensory nerve action potential (SNAP) amplitude is a measure of the number axons. We tested hypothesis that SNAP can be used as marker in screening, severity evaluation, and follow‐up diabetic distal symmetrical polyneuropathy (DSPN). Methods Patients with type 2 diabetes underwent conduction studies were followed for 6 years. Composite scores (CASs) determined to evaluate DSPN severity. Results Sural amplitudes negatively correlated CAS ( r = −.790, P <...
Traditional therapy for diabetes mellitus has focused on supportive treatment, and is not significant in the promotion of pancreatic beta cells regeneration. We investigated effect low- energy extracorporeal shock wave (SW) a streptozotocin induced (DM) rat model. The DM rats were treated with ten sessions low-energy SW (weekly consecutive weeks) or left untreated. assessed blood glucose, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), urine volume, islets area, c-peptide, glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) insulin...
Abstract Background Acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) dislocation is a relatively common shoulder injury. For the treatment of cases severe ACJ (Rockwood type III–V), hook plate fixation an easy-to-master and minimally-invasive approach to surgical intervention. Over stress on acromion following often leads acromial complications such as osteolysis loss reduction. We hypothesized that suspensory reconstruction alongside might provide superior stability reduce compared with alone. The purpose...
Background . α -1-Acid glycoprotein (AGP) is an acute-phase protein that plays a role in first-line defense against infection and therefore elevated sepsis. We tested the hypothesis AGP levels increase initially sepsis decrease after antimicrobial therapy these may predict treatment outcomes. Methods AGP, biomarkers widely used clinical practice, maximum 24-h acute physiology chronic health evaluation (APACHE)-II scores upon emergency department (ED) admission were prospectively evaluated...
Introduction . Tranexamic acid (TXA) is an effective blood salvage agent that reduces perioperative loss in conventional total knee arthroplasty (TKA). As computer-assisted surgery for TKA (CAS-TKA) results a lower than TKA, the additional effect of conservation by TXA might be mitigated. This study aimed to evaluate efficacy CAS-TKA. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 222 consecutive patients who underwent Intravenous was administered 103 (TXA group) at dosage 20 mg/kg 15 min before...
Background: Uni-knee arthroplasty (UKA) has shown better knee kinematics and motion that may suit the activities of daily living in Eastern countries.The purpose this study was to evaluate functional outcomes UKA for medial compartment arthropathy Asian patients. Methods:The cohort consisted 48 patients with 51 UK A knees.Only one type prosthesis used all components were cemented.Postoperative management included ambulation weight bearing, range motion, muscle strengthening exercises as...
Elbow arthroscopy had good functional outcome for throwing athletes. Returning to sports is a major concern all athletes, but only few reports have investigated the clinical factors related duration of returning sports. The present study evaluates efficacy elbow arthroscopic surgery on elbows with osteoarthritis and defines sports.This was retrospective fifteen active baseball athletes who were treated arthroscopy. Perioperative analyzed outcomes. A multiple linear regression analysis used...
