Background: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been recently used to enhance and accelerate the healing of musculoskeletal injuries diseases, but evidence is still lacking, especially on its effects after rotator cuff repair. Hypothesis: accelerates recovery arthroscopic repair in pain relief, functional outcome, overall satisfaction, enhanced structural integrity repaired tendon. Study Design: Cohort study; Level evidence, 2. Methods: Forty-two patients with full-thickness tears were included....

A retrospective study.To determine the indications of fusing proximal thoracic curve when treating idiopathic scoliosis with segmental instrumentation.Failure to recognize a significant often results in postoperative shoulder asymmetry due relative overcorrection lower curve. With instrumentation that enhances correction instrumented curve, double pattern needs fusion both and distal curves should be redefined.Forty patients adolescent right more than 40 degrees left 25 treated by pedicle...

Many types of physical examinations have been used to diagnose superior labrum anterior and posterior lesions; no decisive clinical test is available for confirming the diagnosis.A selection from 10 well-established tests, alone or in combination, can be differentiate lesions with biceps anchor detachment those an intact arthroscopic correlation.Case control study (diagnosis); Level evidence, 3.Among 297 patients who underwent shoulder arthroscopy between January 2004 July 2005, 146 were...

Background Isolated coronoid, isolated radial head, and combined coronoid head fractures are common elbow fractures, specific ligamentous injury of each fracture configuration has been reported. However, the osseous mechanism related to ligament status remains unclear. Questions/purposes The objectives this study were: (1) determine what patterns (medial or lateral collateral) bone contusion lateral) associated with fractures; (2) correlate based on these findings (3) whether have different...

Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is a common skin disorder characterized by itchy wheals of at least 6 weeks in duration, wherein the autoimmune mechanism involved to activate IgE receptors (FcεRIα) on mast cells. We aimed assess levels IgG autoantibody against FcεRIα sera from CSU patients using dot-blot immunoassay. performed hospital-based cross-sectional study 125 (64 ASST-positive, 61 ASST-negative) and 64 age-and sex-matched healthy controls. The cut-off value was determined as mean...

Background: Simple elbow dislocations exhibit residual flexion contracture after long-term immobilization. However, the factors affecting fixation of distal humerus coronal shear (DHCS) fracture remain unclear.Methods: This study enrolled 21 elbows in DHCS (group A) from 2007 to 2017 and 30 dislocation B) 2020, all whom attended a single trauma center. Group A was divided by immobilization period into less than 3 weeks (A1) more (A2). Injury patterns anterior capsule were proximal stripping,...

Hydroxyapatite (HA) is an osteoconductive material used as a bone graft extender and demineralized matrix (DBM) has been source of osteoinductive factors. A combination DBM HA expected to create composite with both properties. This study examined the effect on osteogenesis in vitro vivo using athymic nude rat abdominal muscle pouch model, evaluated possibility carrier DBM. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining, ALP assay measurements mRNA expression Runx2 by RT-PCR were performed transplanting...

This is a retrospective study.We wanted to investigate the clinical relevance of lumbar high intensity zone (HIZ) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and relationship trauma history internal disc disruption (IDD).HIZs spine (L-spine) MRI have been suggested as reliable marker IDD by some authors. The prevalence type spinal in not yet carefully analyzed.L-spine MRIs 737 patients with low back pain or without associated leg were reviewed for presence HIZs. HIZs T2-weighted MR images determined...

Background: Inflammation related hematological parameters vary greatly depending on patients.It is not well known how much increase of which parameter warrants suspicion postoperative infection.This study proposes to identify the normal range and predictive factors for infection by conducting a time series analysis patients after spinal posterior fusion.Methods: A retrospective was done with 608 who underwent fusion pedicle screw fixation.Laboratory assessment including leucocyte,...

Abstract Background Traumatic distal triceps tendon rupture results in substantial disability the absence of an appropriate diagnosis and treatment. To best our knowledge, differences degree injury according to mechanisms associated lesions are not well known. Questions/purposes In this study, we asked: (1) What seen tear patterns between indirect injuries (fall on outstretched hand) direct injuries? (2) elbow soft tissue ruptures? Methods Between 2006 2017, one center treated 73 elbows 72...

The study of conservative and surgical treatment distal biceps tendinopathy associated tendon partial rupture.Twenty-one cases with tendonitis ruptures were studied who visited Pohang Semyeong Christianity Hospital from June 2010 to August 2017. mean age was 57.1 years (39-69 years), 14 males 7 females. duration symptom at the time first visit 4.9 months (0.2-14 months). Ultrasonography magnetic resonance imaging performed for patients severe symptoms. According severity symptoms, splint...

Background: Open excision of the olecranon bursa has been performed traditionally. However, surgical complications such as wound healing problems and recurrence may occur after surgery. The purpose this study was to report on clinical outcomes endoscopic bursal resection in both septic aseptic bursitis. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 30 patients who underwent from June 2007 January 2012. There were 20 males 10 females. ages ranged 22 80 years, with an average age 57.4 years follow-up...

A novel concept of utilizing bulk PNIPAAm substrate nanotopography for rapid harvest human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) sheet. The created nanotogporaphy significantly accelerated the formation hBMSC layers and eased detachment sheets.
