Background: Intra-articular (IA) treatment with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for osteoarthritis (OA) results in improved patient-reported pain and function scores. Purpose: To measure the effects of PRP high molecular weight hyaluronan (HA) on expression anabolic catabolic genes secretion nociceptive inflammatory mediators from OA cartilage synoviocytes. Study Design: Controlled laboratory study. Methods: Synovium harvested patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty were co-cultured media or...
The use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for the treatment osteoarthritis (OA) has demonstrated mixed clinical outcomes in randomized controlled trials when compared with hyaluronic acid (HA), an accepted nonsurgical symptomatic OA. Biological analysis PRP anti-inflammatory effect on intra-articular environment.To compare and biological effects injection those HA patients mild to moderate knee OA.Randomized trial; Level evidence, 1.A total 111 unilateral OA received a series either...
The COVID-19 global pandemic has upended nearly every medical discipline, dramatically impacted patient care and had far-reaching effects on surgeon education. In many areas of the country, elective orthopedic surgery completely stopped to ensure that resources are available for critically ill minimize spread disease. is forcing around world re-evaluate existing processes organizations adapt carry out business, which medicine education not immune. Most national international conferences,...
The Goutallier classification of fatty infiltration the rotator cuff was developed for use in axial computed tomography arthrography. Now is being used with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Not only there debate on validity this system MRI, but current literature unclear as to clinical classification.There will be significant inter- and intraobserver variability grading patients chronic tears.Cohort study (diagnosis); Level evidence, 2.An online database consisting 35 single MRI images from...
Cartilage Autograft Implantation System (CAIS; DePuy/Mitek, Raynham, MA) and DeNovo Natural Tissue (NT; ISTO, St. Louis, MO) are novel treatment options for focal articular cartilage defects in the knee. These methods involve implantation of particulated from either autograft or juvenile allograft donor, respectively. In laboratory animal models, both CAIS NT have demonstrated ability transplanted cells to "escape" extracellular matrix, migrate, multiply, form a new hyaline-like tissue...
Acromioplasty is commonly performed during arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, but its effect on short-term outcomes debated.To report the clinical of patients undergoing repair full-thickness tears with and without acromioplasty.Randomized controlled trial; Level evidence, 2.Patients were randomized into acromioplasty or nonacromioplasty groups. The Simple Shoulder Test (SST), American Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, Constant University California-Los Angeles (UCLA) Short Form-12 (SF-12) health...
<b>Background</b> The abnormal kinematics, contact pressures, and repeated episodes of instability observed in chronic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) deficiency suggest that these patients may be predisposed to early degenerative changes associated pathologies such as meniscal tears chondral injury. Injury the cartilage structures at time ACL rupture, combination with inflammatory mediators released injury, create irreversible damage knee despite restoration normal kinematics an...
Previous case reports have documented the successful use of allograft for extensor mechanism reconstruction. We hypothesized that reconstruction with would restore power and allow patients to return a relatively high activity level. Between 2000 2007, 17 (18 knees) underwent either nonirradiated Achilles or whole bone-patellar tendon-bone at our institution. Two were lost follow-up one total knee arthroplasty was considered failure. The remaining 14 (15 returned clinical radiographic...
Background: The Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement (CJR) model provides bundled payments in-hospital care and within 90 days following discharge Medicare beneficiaries undergoing lower-extremity joint replacement involving the hip, knee, or ankle (total hip arthroplasty, total knee arthroplasty [TAA]). study hypothesis was that patient comorbidities are associated with readmissions, emergency department (ED) utilization, subspecialist wound-healing consultation, which examples of...
Background: The purpose of this randomized controlled trial was to determine whether a short-term Foley catheter (inserted in the operating room and removed upon arrival orthopaedic floor) would reduce risk postoperative urinary retention (POUR) patients undergoing primary total hip (THA) knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods: Three hundred eighty-eight inpatient TKA (n = 228) or THA 160) with spinal anesthesia were receive 194) no 194). There 143 male 245 female patients. outcome POUR, defined...
