Background and purpose: Antibiotic-loaded bone cement (ALBC) systemic antibiotic prophylaxis (SAP) have been used to reduce periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) rates. We investigated the use of ALBC SAP in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA).Patients methods: This observational study is based on 2,971,357 TKAs reported 2010–2020 national/regional registries Australia, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Romania, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, UK, USA....
"Isolated fracture-dislocation of the second cuneiform bone." Acta Orthopaedica Scandinavica, 62(6), pp. 604–605
The authors present a case of fracture dislocation the ankle with fibula entrapped behind tibia-Bosworth's fracture. It is often unrecognized as such because it so rare and radiographs are not correctly interpreted. A stable reduction can be obtained by closed treatment when promptly recognized.
Ankle arthrodesis has been considered the surgical Gold Standard for advanced ankle arthritis; prosthetic replacement of tibio-talar joint played a secondary role.The introduction last generation prostheses lead to better outcome and lower rate complication. PSI represents most recent innovations introduced on market arthroplasty:PSI is proposed as technique capable making arthroplasty more accurate reproducible compared standard referencing guides Aim study report early clinical...
Articular cartilage degeneration and traumatic defects are common disorders causing pain disability. Many strategies were developed throughout years to address these problems. Tissue engineering approaches offer several promising solutions. hyaline has very complex structure follows a multi-layer architecture. In this study, we 4-layers scaffold mimicking the fibers orientation observed within extra-cellular matrix (ECM). Bone microparticles incorporated in first second layers, respectively,...
High tibial osteotomies (HTO) are effective procedures to treat younger patients affected by moderate but symptomatic arthritis. Open-wedge HTO (OW-HTO) is more often performed compared a closing wedge osteotomy varus arthritis of the knee due lower incidence complications and better results: lateral hinge fracture (LHF) most common complication OW-HTO. Intra articular fractures plateau (Takeuchi type III) appear as particularly serious its extension subchondral bone compartment towards...
Hypothenar Hammer Syndrome is a relatively rare disease process caused by repetitive stress or injury to the hypothenar eminence leading chronic ulnar artery. Our study reports an unusual case.A 57 years old Plumber presented in April 2016 with history of constant pain and recurrent paresthesia involving fingers right hand for several months, over previous 1 year, his had become more intolerant exposure cold temperatures. Angio-RNM electromyography were performed showed severe double...
Objective: Hip arthroplasty (HA) is a successful surgical procedure but periarticular heterotopic ossification (HO) represents an uncommon cause of dissatisfaction. Although some risk factors for the development HO have been identified, little known about influence fast track program on incidence after HA. Methods: we enrolled 135 patients who underwent hip by direct lateral approach; were divided into two groups with regard to introduction protocol.Aim our study was compare post...
Matrix-induced sutologous chondrocytes implantation (MACI) is a promising technique for the treatment of articular cartilage lesions, but long time outcome have to be established. We developed and optimized specific techniques histochemical staining characterize healthy pathologic osteochondral tissue. Seven different protocols were applied assess tissue architecture, cells morphology, proteoglycan content, collagen fibers distribution. Potentialities histomorphology biopsies from second...
In spite of advancement in biomaterials and biomechanics, development new osteo-integrative materials coatings, macro- micro- component design, a non negligible fraction the implanted prosthesis fails before expected lifetime. A prospective observational clinical study has been conducted to define apply set experimental techniques in-deep assess failure joint prosthesis. Microbiological, histological micro-structural were implemented specifically address phenomena occurring at tissue-implant...
Bone lesion of the proximal tibia are common findings; depending on site, age patient and symptoms a carefull differential diagnosis must be carried out. We present case 60 years old active presenting at our clinic with atraumatic knee pain. X-Rays performed revealed an osteolitic medial tibial condyle; MRI highlighted lobulated cystic condyle without evidence interruption suchondral bone. The cavity appeared low signal intensity T1 weighted images high T2 tissue obtained from incisional...
Damage to the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) of thumb’s metacarpophalangeal joint (TMPJ) can result in severe functional impairment: correct diagnosis is critical ensure appropriate treatment restore full TMPJ function. In an acute phase, clinical findings and X-rays alone are not reliable enough for a precise diagnosis: ultrasound scan (USS) may represent fast, inexpensive sensitive technique improve thumb trauma emergency department. The purpose this study assess if introduction routine...
Isolated distal tibiofibular syndesmosis lesions are rare and can be easily missed. Diagnosis treatment of chronic disruption is not easy, with limited published data. Surgical injury challenging as there no international consensus on the optimal management. still controversial poorly discussed in literature. PubMed/Medline, Cochrane Database Systematic Reviews, Clinical Trial Register, Current Controlled Trials Embase were searched from 1990 to December 2020 identify studies relating...
