Liver cirrhosis leads to bone loss. To date, information on quality (three-dimensional microarchitecture) and, thus, strength is scarce. We observed decreased at both assessed sites, independent of disease severity. Therefore, all patients should undergo early-stage screening for osteoporosis. Recent studies found low mineral density in cirrhosis, but data microstructure are This study weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing bones with healthy controls. The primary objective was evaluate...
Background: Bone mineral density at the humeral head is reduced in patients with chronic rotator cuff tears. loss associated repair failure after reconstruction. Bisphosphonates (eg, zoledronic acid) increase bone density. Hypothesis: Zoledronic acid improves of and biomechanical properties enthesis reconstruction tears rats. Study Design: Controlled laboratory study. Methods: A total 32 male Sprague-Dawley rats underwent unilateral (left) supraspinatus tenotomy delayed transosseous 3 weeks....
Background: Characteristics of chronic rotator cuff tears include continuous loss tendon structure as well elasticity, followed by a high failure rate after surgical reconstruction. Several studies have already shown the beneficial effect extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) on tissue regeneration in pathologies. Hypothesis: ESWT improves biomechanical properties functional shoulder outcomes reconstruction rodents. Study Design: Controlled laboratory study. Methods: After detachment and 3...
Hallux rigidus is degenerative arthritis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint characterized by pain and stiffness in with limitation motion functional impairment. Recently, bone grafts have been introduced orthopedic procedures, namely osteosynthesis arthrodesis. Allografts can induce formation, provide support for vascular ingrowth a low risk immunological rejection. A 52-year-old female patient hallux underwent arthrodesis using Shark Screw® made allogenic cortical bone. Corrective...
Summary Background Patients with hepatic cirrhosis are at increased risk of bone loss. Recent work on areal mineral density has reported contradictory findings. As the assessment microarchitecture is complex, a search was made for correlations new serum markers turnover. Current data sclerostin levels in patients fracture divergent and to date only one study examined cirrhosis. Therefore, aim this evaluate test microarchitecture. Methods This performed 32 recently diagnosed controls. The...
Bone stress injuries are commonly due to repetitive loading, as often described in competitive athletes or military recruits. The underlying pathophysiology of bone is multifactorial. present cross-sectional study investigated (i) cortical and trabecular microstructure well volumetric mineral density subjects with at the tibial diaphysis, measured distal tibia radius by means high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (CT), (ii) areal using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry...
Zoledronic acid improves bone microarchitecture and biomechanical properties after chronic rotator cuff repair (RCR) in rats. Besides the positive effects of zoledronic on mineral density microarchitecture, bisphosphonates have skeletal muscle function.
Different fixation techniques are established for first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) arthrodesis, including compression screws, plates, Kirschner wires, metal- and bioabsorbable screws as well staples. The purpose of this study was to investigate present clinical radiologic results using a novel human, allogeneic cortical bone screw arthrodesis the MTPJ.Arthrodesis MTPJ performed in 31 patients with hallux rigidus. Percentage union time were outcomes; visual analog scale pain, valgus...
Severe burn injury triggers massive alterations in stress hormone levels with a dose-dependent hypermetabolic status including increased bone resorption. This study evaluated microarchitecture measured by noninvasive high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT). Changes of serum turnover markers (BTM) as well regulators signaling pathways involved skeletal health were assessed. Standardized effect sizes measure regarding the impact changes and prediction these on...
Inferior shoulder dislocation in fixed abduction, also known as luxatio erecta humeri (LEH), is a rare injury with little data available. Therefore, the primary aim of this study was to evaluate and present our case series type special emphasis on associated pathologies; secondary diagnostic recommendations detect for potential pathologies typically seen injury. A total 38 patients (13 females, average age 72.8 years 25 males, 41.4 years), who have been treated inferior between 1992 2020,...
Crohn’s disease (CD) is associated with bone loss and increased fracture risk. TX-Analyzer™ a new fractal-based technique to evaluate microarchitecture based on conventional radiographs. The aim of the present study was thoracic lumbar spine in CD patients healthy controls (CO) correlate parameters standard imaging techniques. 39 age- sex-matched CO were analyzed. Demographic comparable between CO. Bone structure value (BSV), variance (BVV) entropy (BEV) measured at vertebral bodies T7 L4...
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) on bone microstructure as well bone-tendon-interface and musculo-tendinous transition zone explain previously shown improved biomechanics in a degenerative rotator cuff tear animal model. This hypothesized that biomechanical improvements related ESWT are result muscle tendon properties.In controlled laboratory unilateral supraspinatus (SSP) detachment performed 48 male Sprague-Dawley rats. After...
Suture anchors (SAs) made of human allogenic mineralized cortical bone matrix are among the newest developments in orthopaedic and trauma surgery. Biomechanical properties an suture anchor (AMSA) not investigated until now. The primary objective was biomechanical investigation AMSA comparing it to a metallic (MSA) bioabsorbable (BSA) placed at greater tuberosity humeral head cadaver humeri. Additionally, we assessed SAs with microarchitecture parameters.First, 12 fresh frozen humeri from six...
The association between intravenous iron substitution therapy and hypophosphatemia was previously reported in patients with deficiency anemia. However, the extent of is thought to depend on type supplementation. We hypothesized that application ferric carboxymaltose sucrose leads a different longitudinal adaptation serum phosphate levels. In this open-label pilot study, total 20 inflammatory bowel diseases or anemia were randomly assigned one two study groups (group 1: carboxymaltose, n =...
