Background: Parathyroid hormone (PTH) has been shown to increase bone mineral density and reduce the rate of fractures in patients with osteoporosis also improve fracture-healing. The purpose present prospective, randomized, controlled study was evaluate effect PTH 1-84 on course pelvic fracture-healing functional outcome postmenopausal women. Methods: Sixty-five had a dual x-ray absorptiometry scan, radiographs, computed tomography scan document fractures. Twenty-one received once-daily...

Osteoporotic fractures are caused by both cortical thinning and trabecular bone loss. Both seen to be important for fragility. The relative contributions of versus have not been established. aim this study was test the contribution femoral neck stability in strength. In one femur from each pair 18 human cadaver femurs (5 female; 4 male), completely removed neck, providing with intact other without any structure neck. Geometrical, X-ray, DXA measurements were carried out before biomechanical...

Background Limb amputation is often an inevitable procedure in the advanced condition of various diseases and poses a dramatic impact on patient's life. The aim present study to analyze lower-limb amputations aesthetic factors such as body image self-esteem well quality life (QoL). Methods 298 patients (149 uni- or bilateral amputees 149 controls) were included this cross-sectional three centers. Demographic data was collected received 118-item questionnaire including Multidimensional...

Preoperative planning is an essential part of total hip arthroplasty (THA). It facilitates the surgical procedure, helps to provide correct implant size and aims at restoring biomechanical conditions. In recent times, surgeons rely more on digital templating techniques. Although conversion picture archiving communication system had many positive effects, there are still problems that have be taken into consideration.The core objective was evaluate impact planners' experience accuracy...

The results of this study show increased formation bone in the subchondral areas advanced stages osteoarthritis knee. These changes seem to be influenced by mechanical factors.Subchondral contribute progression knee (OA). This aimed analyze microstructure specimens late-stage OA respect articular cartilage damage, meniscus integrity, and joint alignment.Thirty proximal tibiae 30 patients (20 female 10 male) with retrieved during total arthroplasty were scanned using a high-resolution...

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the most common injured knee ligaments and at same time, frequent injuries seen in sport orthopaedic practice. Due to clinical relevance ACL injuries, numerous papers focussing on this topic including biomechanical-, basic science-, clinical- or animal studies, were published. purpose study was determine frequently cited scientific articles which address subject, establish a ranking 50 highest analyse them according their characteristics.The...

At the beginning of 21st century, use large-diameter, metal-on-metal devices was a popular procedure for hip replacement in young and physically active patients; however, within few years, number revisions increased, resulting worldwide recall articular surface (ASR) system. Complication rates ASR implanted at authors' department are reported, with revision 32% 30% XL Head Resurfacing groups, respectively. Reasons surgery were serum metal ion elevation, luxation or subluxation, aseptic...

Patients with primary malignant bone tumors are facing different challenges in their everyday lives due to improved treatment and prolonged survival. This raises the question whether what extent quality of life, body image, self-esteem is affected by disease. The aim this retrospective study was analyze image patients compared a healthy control group.A total 56 (39 male, 17 female; average age 33.8 [± 14.29] years) who were treated either osteosarcoma or Ewing-Sarcoma at authors' institution...

The fracture risk assessment tool (FRAX) is a which calculates an individual 10-year based on epidemiological data in patients with of osteporosis. aim this study was to evaluate the value FRAX estimate postoperative periprosthetic fractures (PPF) following total hip and knee arthroplasty. 167 (137 arthroplasty 30 arthroplasty) were included study. Patients' retrieved retrospectively. In each patient probability major osteoporotic (MOF) (HF) calculated using FRAX. According NOGG guideline...

Dupuytren's disease (DD) is a benign fibroproliferative process that affects the palmar fascia. The pathology of DD shows similarities with wound healing and tumor growth; hypoxia angiogenesis play important roles in both. We investigated role angiogenic proteins DD.The expression vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), its receptors receptor 1 (VEGFR1) 2 (VEGFR2), hypoxia-inducible alfa (HIF-1α), alfa-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) were analyzed immunohistochemically fragments excised...

This study aimed to present functional results and patient's health related quality of life (HRQOL) data ten years after volar locked plate fixation (VPF) unstable intra-articular distal radial fractures (DRF).Thirty-nine patients with a mean age sixty-one were operatively treated VPF fractures. They evaluated two, six, postoperatively according the Gartland Werley score. For subjective evaluation Short Form 36 (SF-36) Disability Arm, Shoulder Hand (DASH) questionnaires adopted.Overall,...

Background: C-reactive protein (CRP) to Albumin ratio (CAR) has been used in multiple clinical settings predict early mortality. However, there is a lack of evidence on the predictive role CAR 30-day mortality after hip fracture. The purpose this study was establish potential association between and assess if Receiving Operating Characteristics curve (ROC) can be reliable predictor Methods: We retrospectively reviewed charts 676 patients (>65 years) treated for fracture 2006 2018. All...

Background. Increased metal ion levels following total hip arthroplasty (THA) with metal-on-metal bearings are a highly debated topic. Local soft tissue reactions chronic pain and systemic side effects such as neuropathy described. The aim of the current study was to determine serum concentrations Cobalt (Co) Chrome (Cr) after THA ceramic-on-metal (CoM) bearing. Patients Methods. Between 2008 2010, 20 patients underwent using CoM Clinical function evaluated by standardized scores systems...

Artificial bone graft substitutes, such as Calcibon, are becoming increasingly interesting they do not cause donor site morbidity which is an advantage compared to autologous grafts. The aim of this study was evaluate the efficacy and potential complications associated with use Calcibon. Twenty-seven patients benign low-grade malignant tumors were treated curettage refilling bony cavity. Based on radiological classification system Neer, these lesions only comprised Grade I lesions,...

Abstract Background The aim of this study was to compare the clinical and radiologic results arthroscopic open trochleoplasty techniques. Methods A total 83 trochleoplasties in patients were performed between 2014 2021 one institution. Surgical indications for recurrent patellofemoral instability a lateral trochlear inclination angle (LTI) ≤ 11˚ depth 6 mm. Of trochleoplasties, 40 done by technique (OT) 43 (AT). In every case an additional medial ligament (MPFL) reconstruction performed....
