Background: Evidence linking increased body weight to osteoarthritis of the knee and high prevalence obesity underscore importance defining outcome total arthroplasty in obese patients. The purpose this study was compare clinical radiographic results arthroplasties performed patients with those nonobese Methods: Clinical data on seventy-eight sixty-eight were compared a matched group analysis also after stratification for degree obesity. All had same prosthesis. that analyzed included Knee...
In a previously reported series of 51 patients with 62 cemented, fixed-bearing unicompartmental knee arthroplasties, we 10-year, 98% survival rate an average score 92 points. The survivorship and modes failure past 10 years are incompletely understood.At 15-year followup sought to determine (1) the overall durability this design; (2) failure; (3) progression arthritis in nonresurfaced compartments.Nineteen knees 16 were available for study 34 lost death one followup. At 15 years, analyzed...
Objective To examine the safety and efficacy of a high‐intensity (HI) progressive rehabilitation protocol beginning 4 days after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) compared to low‐intensity (LI) protocol. Methods A 162 participants (mean ± SD ages 63 7 years; 89 women) were randomized either HI group or LI TKA. Key components intervention use resistance exercises rapid progression weight‐bearing activities. Both groups treated in an outpatient setting 2 3 times per week for 11 weeks (26...
Dural ectasia, an expansion of the dural sac surrounding spinal cord, is one most common orthopedic manifestations Marfan syndrome. The purpose present study was to characterize clinical symptoms associated with ectasia in patients syndrome and understand effects symptomatic on overall health affected patients. Twenty-two volunteers aged 9–55 years syndrome, diagnosed by MRI or CT, filled out a "symptoms" questionnaire completed SF-36 survey. Overall, It appears that have marked impact Based...
A common complication of reconstructive surgery is muscle contracture and consequent loss joint motion. This particularly occurs in surgical lengthening procedures where the adaptive capacity seems to limit extent possible lengthening. We used intraoperative laser diffraction determine skeletal adaptation that occurred a 16-year-old girl who had 4-cm femoral for leg-length discrepancy secondary posttraumatic growth arrest. Fascicle length changed dramatically during distraction from starting...
Protrusio acetabuli is known to occur in patients with Marfan syndrome, but its prevalence, effects on hip function, and possible association the subsequent development of degenerative disease have not been studied a large population. Nevertheless, some clinicians recommended prophylactic surgery for preadolescents syndrome protrusio acetabuli.We performed cross-sectional study 173 (346 hips) who were interviewed examined calculation Iowa score. Anteroposterior radiographs pelvis made, two...
Spasticity, a neurological problem secondary to an upper motor neuron lesion, has significant effect on skeletal muscle. The lesions may be cerebral vascular accident, head injury, spinal cord or degenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis, perinatal brain injuries palsy. Functional ability in these patients can severely compromised but the basic mechanisms underlying deficits are not clearly understood. In this review we evaluate current evidence literature that suggests muscle tissue...
Anonymous patient survey.To determine what patients think surgeons should be paid to perform elective spine surgical procedures, and gauge awareness of actual Medicare reimbursement.With increasing transparency, the public may become aware physician reimbursements a part debate regarding appropriate reimbursement. It is unknown perceive that spinal deserve be, or are actually, procedures.Two hundred anonymous surveys were given consecutive in an outpatient office setting by means convenience...
There is a large discrepancy between supply and demand of surgical services in developing countries. This inequality holds true orthopaedic surgery the delivery musculoskeletal care. Intertwined amongst decision to perform procedures world are ethics doing so - just because one capable performing procedure, should it be done?A 31 year-old female with end-stage joint destruction underwent left total hip replacement by foreign team Tanzania. She had favorable outcome for 8 months, but now...
The purpose of this study was to compare total hip arthroplasty (THA) and resurfacing (HRA) with regard the amount acetabular bone stock removed ability restore leg length offset. Anteroposterior pelvis radiographs 153 consecutive THAs 84 HRAs were compared. Excluded patients those prior surgery, in which a best-fit circle could not be adequately matched femoral head, preoperative radiographic findings that precluded consideration for HRA (ie, disease severity, deformity, leg-length...
