Propensity score matching (PSM) is a commonly used statistical method in orthopedic surgery research that accomplishes the removal of confounding bias from observational cohorts where benefit randomization not possible. An alternative to multiple regression analysis, PSM attempts reduce effects confounders by already treated subjects with control who exhibit similar propensity for treatment based on preexisting covariates influence selection. It, therefore, establishes new group discarding...
To determine the prevalence and associated mortality of well-defined neurologic diagnoses among patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), we prospectively followed hospitalized severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-positive recorded new disorders hospital outcomes.
The object of this study was to compare the mini-open anterior corpectomy procedure with posterior total en bloc spondylectomy (TES) in treating patients solitary metastases thoracolumbar spine.From 2004 2010, 41 spine were treated our hospital using either a or TES. Intraoperative and diagnostic data, including perioperative complications, collected retrospective chart review. surgical outcomes assessed according survival status, neurological function, local recurrence, pain before after...
Despite aggressive peri-operative antibiotic treatments, up to 10% of patients undergoing instrumented spinal surgery develop an infection. Like most implant-associated infections, infections persist through colonization and biofilm formation on instrumentation, which can include metal screws rods for fixation intervertebral cage commonly comprised polyether ether ketone (PEEK). We have designed a PEEK reservoir that would clip the rod achieve slow release over several days, followed by...
The deep inferior epigastric artery perforator (DIEP) flap has been a valuable tool in breast reconstruction, but seldom extremity reconstruction. aim of this report is to present our experience on the use DIEP for reconstruction soft‐tissue defects extremities pediatric patients. From January 2007 February 2011, 22 consecutive free transfers were performed complex children with mean age 5.7 years old (ranging 2–10 old). design included transverse, oblique, and irregular flaps, containing...
Study Design. Retrospective comparative study. Objective. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether preoperative depressive symptoms, measured by mental component score the Short Form-12 survey (MCS-12), influence patient-reported outcome measurements (PROMs) following an anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) surgery for degeneration. Summary Background Data. There is a paucity literature regarding depression PROMs ACDF degenerative disease. Methods. Patients who...
Abstract Purpose The management of cervical facet dislocation injuries remains controversial. main purpose this investigation was to identify whether a surgeon’s geographic location or years in practice influences their preferred traumatic injuries. Methods A survey sent 272 AO Spine members across all regions and with variety experience. included clinical case scenarios asked responders select preferences among various diagnostic options. Results total 189 complete responses were received....
Abstract Osteomyelitis remains a difficult infection to treat for orthopaedic surgeons regardless of the continuous advances in surgical techniques and antimicrobial agents. The controlled release vancomycin from local delivery system is promising method eliminating infection. In this study, biodegradable gelatin sponge containing different contents β‐tricalcium phosphate ceramic (β‐TCP) was prepared controlled‐release vancomycin. We aimed confirm composite scaffolds could be used as...
Background: In addition to the numerous applications of botulinum toxin type A, authors have documented improvements in surgical flap survival through vasoactive effects. This study aimed investigate its effect on expression inflammatory mediators. Methods: 54 male Sprague-Dawley rats, cutaneous flaps based superficial epigastric vessels were elevated. Botulinum lidocaine, or saline was administered vascular pedicle. After 1, 2, and 7 days, mRNA for tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1,...
Abstract This study evaluated the results of repair radius defect with a vascularized tissue engineered bone graft composed by implanting mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and vascular bundle into xenogeneic deproteinized cancellous (XDCB) scaffold in rabbit model. Sixty‐four rabbits were used study. Among them, four as MSCs donor. Other 57 divided five groups. In group one ( n = 9), 1.5 cm was created no repair. two 12), repaired XDCB alone. three that included bundle. seeded MSCs. including...
The orthopedic infection, such as osteomyelitis, especially those caused by Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), remains a major complication of open fractures. Local vancomycin delivery is considered to provide better methods when avascular zones prevent the drugs from conventional routes administration. Chitosan (CS) system has been developed with disadvantages, mechanically weakness, lacking osteoconductivity, and initial burst antibiotics into environment. aim this study...
