Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) has been used to treat calcific tendonitis of the shoulder, but trials ESWT for this purpose have had methodological deficiencies and thus there is limited evidence its effectiveness.To determine whether fluoroscopy-guided improves function, reduces pain, diminishes size deposits in patients with chronic shoulder.Double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial conducted between February 1997 March 2001 among 144 (of 164 screened) recruited from...
Background Radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy is an effective treatment for chronic plantar fasciitis that can be administered to outpatients without anesthesia but has not yet been evaluated in controlled trials. Hypothesis There no difference effectiveness between radial and placebo the of fasciitis. Study Design Randomized, trial; Level evidence, 1. Methods Three interventions (0.16 mJ/mm 2 ; 2000 impulses) compared with were studied 245 patients Primary endpoints changes visual...
Background: It remains unclear whether application of local anesthesia (LA) interferes with clinical efficacy extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) for chronic plantar fasciitis. Aims: To evaluate the effect on outcome after repetitive low-energy ESWT Methods: Eighty-six patients fasciitis were randomly assigned to receive either without LA, given weekly three weeks (Group I, n = 45; 3 × 2000 pulses, total energy flux density per 0.09 mJ/mm2) or identical LA II, 41). Primary measure was:...
Chronic radicular pain can occur after disc pathology and failed back surgery. An evidence-based effective therapeutic option is not available nor does a gold standard exist.A randomized controlled trial to analyze the clinical efficacy of percutaneous epidural lysis adhesions in chronic pain.Prospective placebo interventional trial. Power calculation based on feasibility trial.Medical university centers.Within 4 years total 381 patients with lasting longer than months which respond...
Background: The effectiveness of extracorporeal shock wave therapy in the treatment plantar fasciitis is controversial. objective present study was to test whether focused effective relieving chronic heel pain diagnosed as fasciitis. Methods: Two hundred and fifty subjects were enrolled a prospective, multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled U.S. Food Drug Administration trial. Subjects randomized (0.25 mJ/mm2) or placebo intervention, with three sessions 2000 impulses...
Bone and soft tissue masses of the foot ankle are not particularly rare but true neoplasia has to be strictly differentiated from pseudotumorous lesions. Diagnosis is often delayed as diagnostic errors more common than in other regions. Awareness for this localization musculoskeletal tumors very high considered. The purpose study provide detailed information on incidence distribution patterns a university tumor institute propose simple definition facilitate comparison future...
Abstract Background : It remains unclear whether application of local anesthesia (LA) interferes with clinical efficacy extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) for chronic plantar fasciitis. Aims To evaluate the effect on outcome after repetitive low‐energy ESWT Methods Eighty‐six patients fasciitis were randomly assigned to receive either without LA, given weekly three weeks (Group I, n = 45; 3 × 2000 pulses, total energy flux density per 0.09 mJ/mm 2 ) or identical LA II, 41). Primary...
Compromised bone stock and heavily impaired structural integrity after multiple endoprosthetic revision surgeries can lead to a comparable condition as encountered in musculoskeletal tumor surgery. Total femoral replacement (TFR) restore allow patients resume ambulation. Even though several authors reported their results of TFR, so far many questions are still on debate: Which at risk experience low functional outcome? Do complications clinical outcome TFR depend the indication for surgery...
A poly(D,L-lactic acid) surface coating (PDLLA) has been developed to optimize interactions at the implant-tissue interface. Mechanical and allergological characteristics were evaluated in present study elucidate possible indications limitations prior clinical application. Implants of stainless steel Ti-6Al-4V Co-Cr-Mo alloys coated with PDLLA, mechanical stability was studied during intramedullary implantation into rat human cadaver bones dilation coronary artery stents. Elongation...
While extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) may be an efficacious adjunctive treatment option for musculoskeletal injuries, current research is limited by significant heterogeneity within protocols. This study aims to establish international expert consensus recommendations on ESWT terminology, parameters, procedural considerations, contraindications and side effects in the application of sports injuries. A systematic literature search was performed use medicine injuries identify potential...
