Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative in older adult population and often associated with reduced physical activity. Reduced activity mechanical loading subsequently reduce bone mineral density increase risk of osteoporosis. Bisphosphonates (BPs) offer preventative effects on osteoporotic fractures general population, but their patients AD are less known. This study aimed to assess impact BPs survival AD. Methods: In this nationwide retrospective cohort...
Background: The operative indication for posterior malleolar fracture (PMF) remains controversial. This study aimed to assess the midterm outcomes of PMF treatment developing a strategy each morphological type. Methods: In this retrospective analysis, patients undergoing an unstable ankle involving were included after at least 3 years follow-up. PMFs classified by morphology according Haraguchi classification. divided entire cohort into three independent populations based on types PMF. For...
Tendon injuries account for 45% of musculoskeletal injuries. However, research on the occurrence and pathogenesis tendinopathy is insufficient, there still much debate regarding treatment methods. It important to understand molecular mechanisms oxidative stress inflammatory responses because in tendon tissue induced by various factors, including cytokines, drug exposure, metabolic abnormalities. In this study, 28 rats were divided into four groups (7 assigned each group): control group...
Background/Objective: The rise in sports participation among children and adolescents has led to an increase ACL injuries skeletally immature individuals. This study analyzed nationwide trends the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgeries pediatric adolescent populations, addressing concerns about growth plate disturbances with surgery risks of secondary nonoperative treatment. Methods: We conducted a retrospective population-based cohort using National Health Insurance...
Background: The present study aimed to investigate the incidence and seasonal variation of distal radius fractures (DRFs) in Korea.Methods: We analyzed a nationwide database acquired from Korean Health Insurance Review Assessment Service 2011 2015.We used International Classification Diseases, 10th revision codes procedure identify patients all ages with newly diagnosed DRFs.Results: An average about 130,000 DRFs occurred annually Korea.The DRF, by age group, was highest 10 14-year-old group...
Abstract The failure rate of TAA is still higher than that other joint replacement procedures. This study aimed to calculate the early and identify associated patient factors. Data from Korean Health Insurance Review Assessment Service database 2009 2017 were collected. We evaluated patients who had as a primary surgical procedure. Early was defined conversion revision or arthrodesis after within five years. Patients with designated “Failure group”. without followed up unremarkably for at...
Background: Total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) has higher complication and failure rates compared to other surgical joint replacement procedures despite technological advances. This study aimed find the long-term survivability of TAA procedure identify patient risk factors for with one largest cohorts patients in literature. Methods: retrospective cohort involving cases between 2007 2018 analyzed who received an index primary Korea. A total 5619 were included final analysis. The was defined as...
To date, there have been few reports on the nationwide population-based epidemiology of Dupuytren's disease (DD). We investigated prevalence and incidence DD in Korea using large dataset provided by Korean Health Insurance Review Assessment Service. This study is second epidemiological after Taiwan.Records patients diagnosed with between 2007 2014 were extracted from diagnostic code searching (International Classification Disease 10th revision M72.0) included study. calculated based total...
Although ankle fractures are among the most common fractures, nationwide population-based data on epidemiology of patients with scarce. This study aimed to perform an epidemiological analysis all in Korea from 2010 through 2018.We used national registries Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service 2009 2018. The annual incidence fracture was calculated. also calculated according gender age. Trends subtypes were analyzed. Then, by seasonal variation investigated.A total 735,073...
Peripheral nerve injuries (PNIs) in the upper extremities is an important medical problem, causing significant morbidity at a relatively young age. The epidemiology of PNI South Korea has not been comprehensively evaluated. purpose our study was to examine incidence extremity based on analysis nationwide data and investigate association between patients’ demographic characteristics. Patient claims from Health Insurance Review Assessment Service 2008 2018 were collected. Demographic...
Surgical treatment of insertional Achilles tendinopathy with Haglund deformity in highly competitive professional athletes has not been previously investigated.To assess clinical outcomes, including return to play (RTP), after surgical athletes.Case-control study; Level evidence, 3.This retrospective study included 20 who were surgically treated for and had at least 2 years follow-up. An open longitudinal lateral approach was used the operation, without violation tendon. Outcome evaluation...
Surgical site infection (SSI) is a major complication after the surgical treatment of ankle fractures that can result in catastrophic consequences. This study aimed to determine incidence SSI several cohorts from national insurance databases over past 12 years and identify its predictors. The claimed data for patients (n = 1,449,692) with between 2007 2019 were investigated, total 41,071 included final analysis. covariates age, sex, season, fracture type (closed vs. open), fixation...
Biofilms make it difficult to eradicate bacterial infections through antibiotic treatments and lead numerous complications. Previously, two periprosthetic infection-related pathogens, Enterococcus faecalis Staphylococcus lugdunensis were reported have relatively contrasting biofilm-forming abilities. In this study, we examined the proteomics of microorganisms' biofilms using LC-MS/MS. The results showed that each microbe exhibited an overall different profile for differential gene...
Background: This study aimed to compare the clinical results between osteochondral autologous transplantation (OAT) and dorsiflexion closing wedge metatarsal osteotomy (DCWMO) in symptomatic adult patients with late-stage Freiberg disease. Methods: Between 2012 2017, disease surgically treated OAT (12 patients) or DCWMO (15 were retrospectively identified. The American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society–lesser metatarsophalangeal-interphalangeal (AOFAS-LMI) score, visual analog scale score...
The aim of this study was to demonstrate the joint fragment that mostly affects outcome distal radius fracture surgically treated with a volar locking plate (VLP).The outcomes 69 patients fractures were evaluated at their final follow-up. articular surface divided into six specific fragments, and computed tomography (CT) used evaluate degree mismatch each fragments. A plain radiograph also obtained for evaluation alignment. Clinical measured by using Disabilities Arm, Shoulder Hand (DASH)...
Background:The aim of this study was to investigate the surgical trends primary total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) and revision procedure in Korea from 2007 2017 using national population-based data.Methods: We reviewed National Health Insurance data 2017.The included diagnosis codes, prescriptions, medical costs, other demographic data.Trends for TAA were evaluated.Annual incidences per 100,000 person-years procedures as well compound annual growth rate (CAGR) during period analysed.Surgical...
Nonunion is a rare complication for distal fibular fractures. However, when there high degree of comminution, nonunion may occur. In this article, we describe novel technique that uses the oblong hole locking plate to lengthen fibula fracture reduction. This straightforward and allows easy control comminuted restore length rotation at time application without opening site.Thirty-five consecutive patients, who were treated with minimally invasive osteosynthesis (MIPO) fractures...
In this paper the temporal behaviour of soil moisture is modelled and statistically characterized by use zero-dimensional model for dynamics rectangular pulses Poisson process rainfall forcing. The mean, covariance spectral density function (both instantaneous locally averaged cases) are analytically derived to evaluate its sensitivity parameters. Finally, probability effect All parameters used have been tuned Monsoon '90 data. Results can be summarized as follows. (1) Only (η nZr) found...
