Physical exercise is effective for sarcopenic elderly but evidence the most mode of conflicting. The objective this study was to investigate effects a three-month group-based versus home-based program on muscular, functional/physical performance and quality life (QoL) across with sarcopenia. 54 (47 women, 7 men aged 72.87 ± years) were randomly assigned one three interventions: supervised group (n = 18), individualized 18) control 18). Body composition determined by bioelectrical impedance...
We reviewed 13 patients with infected nonunion of the distal femur and bone loss, who had been treated by radical surgical debridement application an Ilizarov external fixator. All severely restricted movement knee a mean 3.1 previous operations. The length bony defect was 8.3 cm no patient able to bear weight. fixation time 309.8 days. According Paley's grading system, eight excellent clinical radiological result seven good functional results. Bony union, ability weight fully, resolution...
Background: Spinal cord injury without radiographic abnormalities (SCIWORA) is thought to represent mostly a pediatric entity and its incidence in adults rather underreported. Some authors have also proposed the term spinal radiologic evidence of trauma, as more precisely describing condition adult SCIWORA setting cervical spondylosis. The purpose present study was evaluate patients with spine injuries radiological-clinical examination discrepancy, discuss their characteristics current...
ABSTRACT This retrospective study examined the results of nonpilon fractures distal part tibia treated with interlocking intramedullary nailing. Seventy-three patients equal numbers surgically between 1990 and 1998 were reviewed. Mean patient age was 39.8 years, follow-up averaged 34.2 months. The AO fracture classification system used. Concomitant lateral malleolus fixed. All but three achieved union within 4.2 months on average. Satisfactory or excellent obtained in 86.3% patients. These...
Frailty, a geriatric syndrome of growing importance in recent years, has been shown to be associated with increased risk disability and adverse health socioeconomic outcomes. Therefore, there is need for new educational strategies physical medicine rehabilitation residents promote greater competencies, focus on developing customized evaluation management plans. With this article, the aim offering quick reference tool summarizing latest evidence rehabilitative frailty. Indeed, comprehensive...
A rare case of unilateral bicondylar fractures the femoral condyles is presented. Internal fixation fragments was achieved by three cancellous lag screws, followed a short period cast immobilization and intensive physiotherapy. Full weight bearing allowed 3 months postoperatively. range motion knee no presence articular defects on were observed 2 years after hardware heterotopic ossification removal.
Purpose: To translate and validate into the Greek language setting Sarcopenia Quality of Life (SarQoL®) questionnaire.Methods: A convenience sample 176 elderly people (136 females, 40 males; aged 71.19 ± 7.95 years) was recruited, 50 which (36 14 males) were diagnosed sarcopenic. Questionnaire back-translated culturally adapted according to international guidelines. SarQoL®, we assessed its validity (discriminative power, construct validity), reliability (internal consistency, test–retest...
A 61-year-old woman presented with mild pain and swelling on the volar aspect of wrist, hand, little finger. Radiography showed a soft-tissue mass shadow, magnetic resonance imaging acute tenosynovitis flexor tendons an inflammatory inside carpal tunnel. Laboratory test results were normal, except for elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (40 mm/h). The patient had ambiguous Mantoux result but no history mycobacterial exposure. Exhaustive investigations rheumatic disease negative. Surgical...
Retrospective study of a prospectively followed cohort.To summarize the complications after instrumented stabilization cervical spine injuries in single-institution series, and to discuss management unstable with respect complication rate between 2 approaches (anterior posterior).The anterior approach has been criticized for destruction elements presence posterior instability. The data came mainly from biomechanical studies older clinical earlier implants. However, there growing evidence...
Gamma nails have been used extensively for the treatment of proximal femoral fractures. Nail breakage at level aperture lag screw is rare. We report 4 such cases mainly associated with a large posteromedial cortex gap and nonunion. The need adequate reduction to avoid complication emphasised.
Distal interlocking is regarded as an inherent part of the antegrade humeral nailing technique, but it exposes both patient and surgeon to radiation, time consuming, has a potential risk damaging neurovascular structures. We have presented our technique diaphyseal without any distal in this paper.We series 64 consecutive patients (33 male 31 female, mean age: 41.5 years) with shaft fractures treated rigid intramedullary following strict intra postoperative protocol. According AO...
Introduction A constant infusion of local anesthetics through pain pumps has been shown to cause chondrolysis. However, there is no general consensus regarding the safety a single intra-articular injection anesthetics. In this experimental study, we examined rat cartilage for possible histological effects after administration lidocaine or ropivacaine. Material and methods Thirty-two male Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing 250-300 grams, were divided into two groups 16 each. We injected 0.1 ml...
