Mortality is increased after a hip fracture, and strategies that improve outcomes are needed.In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 1065 patients were assigned to receive yearly intravenous zoledronic acid (at dose of 5 mg), 1062 placebo. The infusions first administered within 90 days surgical repair fracture. All (mean age, 74.5 years) received supplemental vitamin D calcium. median follow-up was 1.9 years. primary end point new clinical fracture.The rates any fracture...
Displaced femoral neck fractures usually are treated with hemiarthroplasty. However, the degree to which design of implant used (cemented or uncemented) affects outcome is not known and may be therapeutically important.In this randomized controlled trial, we sought compare cemented cementless fixation in bipolar hemiarthroplasties at 5 years terms (1) Harris hip scores; (2) fractures; (3) overall health outcomes using Barthel Index EQ-5D (4) complications, reoperations, mortality since our...

Hemiarthroplasty is the most commonly used treatment for displaced femoral neck fractures in elderly. There limited evidence literature of improved functional outcome with cemented implants, although serious cement-related complications have been reported. We performed a randomized, controlled trial patients 70 years and older comparing implant (112 hips) an uncemented, hydroxyapatite-coated (108 hips), both bipolar head. The mean Harris hip score showed equivalence between groups, 70.9...
There is limited insight into the mechanisms of anterior cruciate ligament injuries in alpine skiing, particularly among professional ski racers.This study was undertaken to qualitatively describe injury World Cup skiing.Case series; Level evidence, 4.Twenty cases reported through International Ski Federation Injury Surveillance System for 3 consecutive seasons (2006-2009) were obtained on video. Seven international experts field skiing biomechanics and sports medicine related performed...
Background: Limited knowledge exists on injuries among professional alpine skiers. Objective: To describe the risk of injury and pattern competitive World Cup skiers during season. Methods: Retrospective interviews were performed with all athletes from 10 nations at end 2006–7 2007–8 winter seasons, acute occurring 4.5-month season recorded. If athlete was not present, their coaches or medical personnel interviewed. Results: A total 191 recorded 521 As many as 86 (45%) occurred Cup/World Ski...
Background: The use of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) to improve the healing open tibial shaft fractures has been focus two prospective clinical studies. objective current study was perform a subgroup analysis combined data from these Methods: Two prospective, randomized studies were conducted.

<h3>Background</h3> Many patients with lung cancer are deconditioned poor physical fitness. Lung resection reduces fitness further, impairing the patient9s ability to function in daily life. <h3>Methods</h3> We conducted a single-blind randomised controlled trial of high-intensity endurance and strength training (60 min, three times week, 20 weeks), starting 5–7 weeks after surgery. The control group received standard postoperative care. primary outcome was change peak oxygen uptake measured...
Annual infusions of zoledronic acid (5 mg) significantly reduced the risk vertebral, hip, and nonvertebral fractures in a study postmenopausal women with osteoporosis clinical all-cause mortality another men who had recently undergone surgical repair hip fracture. In this analysis, we examined whether timing first infusion drug after fracture influenced antifracture efficacy benefit observed study. A total 2127 patients (1065 on active treatment 1062 placebo; mean age, 75 yr; 76% 24% men)...
There is little information available on injuries to World Cup skiers and snowboarders. The aim of this study was describe compare the injury risk athletes in alpine skiing, freestyle snowboarding, ski jumping, Nordic combined cross country skiing. We performed retrospective interviews with International Ski Federation (FIS) from selected nations during 2006-2007 2007-2008 winter seasons recorded all acute occurring seasons. interviewed 2121 705 injuries. were 520 (72%) time-loss 196 (28%)...
Background Exercise treatment is recommended for all patients with hip osteoarthritis (OA), but its effect on the long-term need total replacement (THR) unknown. Methods We conducted a follow-up of randomised trial investigating efficacy exercise therapy and patient education versus only 6-year cumulative survival native to THR in 109 symptomatic radiographic OA. Results regarding primary outcome measure trial, self-reported pain at 16 months follow-up, have been reported previously. There...
Existent biomechanical studies on hip osteoarthritic gait have primarily focused the end stage of disease. Consequently, there is no clear consensus which specific parameters are most relevance for osteoarthritis patients with mild to moderate symptoms. The purpose this study was explore sagittal plane characteristics during stance phase in not eligible replacement surgery. First, compared healthy controls, and second, when categorized into two subgroups radiographic severity defined from a...
Background — The surgical approach in total hip arthroplasty (THA) is often based on surgeon preference and local traditions. anterior muscle-sparing has recently gained popularity Europe. We tested the hypothesis that patient satisfaction, pain, function, health-related quality of life (HRQoL) after THA not related to approach.Patients 1,476 patients identified through Norwegian Arthroplasty Register were sent questionnaires 1–3 years undergoing period from January 2008 June 2010....
Background In competitive alpine skiing, there is a controversy regarding the sex-related risk of injury. Objective To compare injury in female versus male World Cup (WC) skiers. Methods Injuries were recorded through International Ski Federation Injury Surveillance System for six consecutive winter seasons (2006–2012), based on retrospective interviews with athletes from 10 teams at end each season. All acute training and competition injuries which required medical attention recorded. Race...
It is proposed that the use of biochemical markers for muscle damage and inflammation provides an objective measure on invasiveness in total hip arthroplasty. We analyzed levels creatine kinase C-reactive protein (CRP) after arthroplasty patients randomized to minimally invasive direct anterior approach or lateral approach, also recording consumption pain medication postoperatively. Eighty-three were operated by eighty using lateral. Creatine CRP measured preoperatively, directly surgery,...
BackgroundMinimally invasive fusion of the sacroiliac joint as treatment for low back pain may reduce and improve function compared to non-operative treatment, although clear evidence is lacking.
