Access to care is limited for patients with Medicaid many conditions, but data investigating this relationship in the orthopaedic literature are limited. The purpose of study was investigate between health insurance status and access a diverse group adult patients, specifically if influenced by population density or distance from academic teaching hospitals.Two hundred three practices within state North Carolina were randomly selected contacted on two different occasions separated weeks. An...
To test wound debridement efficacy and soft tissue damage produced by high-pressure pulsatile lavage (HPPL), suction irrigation, bulb syringe irrigation.Randomized trial in an vitro model.Medical school orthopaedic department.No patients were used this study.Beef flank steaks (100-g +/- 10-g) divided into 8 groups incised uniformly. Four contaminated with 2 g of rock dust 4 not. The specimens then treated as follows: nothing (control), or HPPL.Runoff from the irrigation was collected,...
Background: First metatarsophalangeal joint (MTP) fusions are performed as salvage procedures for a variety of conditions ranging from osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, hallux valgus, and failed first MTP arthroplasty. A number bone preparation techniques have been described to fuse the joint, with varying degrees success. The aim this study was characterize compare average shortening ray conical reamer fusion technique versus flat cut technique. Materials Methods: Six paired cadaver...
Background: Many similarities exist between pyogenic flexor tenosynovitis and other closed-space infections such as septic arthritis. Previous studies have demonstrated that corticosteroids in conjunction with antibiotics considerably improve treatment outcomes patients Using a chicken model, we investigated whether or not combination and/or surgical drainage could minimize the loss of range motion typically associated tenosynovitis. Methods: We inoculated tendon sheath right long toe...
Objective: This study tests the bone debridement efficacy and damage to cancellous produced by different wound irrigation methods. Methods: Cancellous slices of bovine distal femurs (3 cm × 3 cm) were divided into eight test groups scored with a saw in latticed pattern. Four contaminated 1.0 g rock dust four not. The specimens then treated as follows: no treatment (control), bulb irrigation, brush-suction or high-pressure pulsatile lavage (HPPL). Runoff from was collected, filtered,...
A major obstacle to the treatment of soft tissue injuries is hypovascular nature tissues. Deferoxamine (DFO) has been shown stimulate angiogenesis by limiting degradation intracellular hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha.DFO-saturated suture would induce and improve markers early healing in an Achilles tendon repair model.Controlled laboratory study.Broiler hens were randomly assigned control (CTL) group or DFO (n = 9 per group). The right was partially transected at its middle third. defect...
Abstract One proposed mechanism of tendon lengthening is the “sliding fibril” hypothesis, in which tendons lengthen through sliding discontinuous fibrils after release decorin‐fibronectin interfibrillar bonds. The pentapeptide NKISK has been reported to inhibit binding decorin, a proteoglycan on surface collagen fibrils, fibronectin, tissue adhesion molecule, are thought play role binding. Prior investigations have demonstrated that produces vivo lengthening. This study investigates effect...
Peripheral neuroma formation results from partial or complete nerve division. Elucidating measures to prevent the development of peripheral neuromas is clinical importance. The aim this study was determine effect various surgical nerve-cutting techniques on microstructure and resultant formation.
Tomosynthesis imaging has been demonstrated as an alternative to MRI and CT for orthopedic imaging. Current commercial tomosynthesis scanners are large in-room devices. The goal of this study was evaluate the feasibility designing a compact device extremity at point-of-care utilizing carbon nanotube (CNT) x-ray source array. carried out using short linear CNT array with limited number emitting focal spots. mounted on translation stage moved linearly mimic configurations up 40 degrees angular...
