Intra-articular injections are widely used for conservative treatment of knee osteoarthritis (OA). However, rigorous data lacking regarding the comparative therapeutic effectiveness these injections.The aim this study was to compare clinical outcomes after intra-articular glucocorticoid, hyaluronic acid, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), or placebo in patients with mild moderate OA knee.In a double-blinded, placebo-controlled, single-center trial, we randomly assigned knees early- middle-stage...
Background Intra-articular injections are routinely used for conservative treatment of knee osteoarthritis (OA). The detailed comparative therapeutic effects these on cartilage tissue still unclear. Objective aim this study was to detect and compare changes after intra-articular injection glucocorticoid, hyaluronic acid, or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) placebo using quantitative (T2 T2* mapping) morphological magnetic resonance imaging parameters in patients with mild moderate osteoarthritis....
To evaluate autologous matrix-induced chondrogenesis (AMIC) for isolated focal retropatellar cartilage lesions and the influence of patellofemoral (PF) anatomy on clinical outcomes at a minimum 2-year follow-up.Twenty-nine consecutive patients (31 knees) who underwent AMIC with mean age 27.9 ± 11.0 years were evaluated follow-up averaging 4.1 1.9 (range, 2-8 years). Patient factors, lesion morphology, patient-reported outcome measures, including Knee Injury Osteoarthritis Outcome Score...
This study aimed to evaluate the long-term results of hallux valgus correction with a distal metatarsal reversed-L (ReveL) osteotomy.
Category: Bunion; Midfoot/Forefoot Introduction/Purpose: The study objective was to evaluate the long-term results of hallux valgus correction with a distal metatarsal reversed-L (ReveL) osteotomy. Moreover, potential risk factors leading recurrence and an inferior clinical outcome were assessed. Methods: Eighty-eight patients (131 feet) evaluated after mean follow-up 14.2 (range, 10 – 18) years. Weightbearing foot radiographs analyzed preoperatively, 6 weeks postoperatively, at final for...
Abstract Purpose Patella baja after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a common problem that usually treated via proximal transfer of the tibial tubercle. As long-term outcomes this procedure are unclarified, study aimed to investigate changes in clinical function and radiographic patellar height during five years follow-up. Methods Sixty patients with patella TKA who underwent proximalisation tubercle were followed up for mean 71 months (range 21–153 months). The pre- postoperative range...
Recent data suggest that individual morphologic factors should be respected to restore preoperative patellofemoral alignment and thus reduce the likelihood of anterior knee pain. The goal this study was investigate effect excessive femoral torsion (FT) on clinical outcome TKA.Patients who underwent TKA complete radiographic evaluation including a long-leg radiograph CT scan were included. 51 patients showed increased FT > 20° matched for age/sex controls (FT < 20°). Thirteen lost follow-up....
Bone tunnel enlargement after single-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction remains an unsolved problem that complicates revision surgery.Positioning of osteoconductive scaffold at the femoral aperture improves graft-to-bone incorporation and thereby decreases bone widening.Randomized controlled trial; Level evidence, 1.In a 1:1 ratio, 56 patients undergoing primary were randomized to receive fixation with cortical suspension secondary press-fit tendon graft only (control) or...
