Medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) is a widely accepted procedure for the treatment of medial compartment arthritis knee. Compared with closing HTO, however, outcomes OWHTO reported in literature are incomplete.To identify positive and negative prognostic factors related to through an evaluation midterm study results survivorship analysis.Case series; Level evidence, 4.From January 2001 December 2009, total 141 consecutive OWHTOs were performed 123 patients. Only patients...
Umbilical cord (UC) may represent an attractive cell source for allogeneic mesenchymal stem (MSC) therapy. The aim of this in vitro study is to investigate the chondrogenic and osteogenic potential UC-MSCs grown onto tridimensional scaffolds, identify a possible clinical relevance use cartilage bone reconstructive surgery. Chondrogenic differentiation on scaffolds was confirmed at 4 weeks by expression sox-9 type II collagen; low oxygen tension improved these markers. A similar trend...
Opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) is a surgical procedure that aims to correct the weight-bearing axis of knee, moving loads laterally from medial compartment. Conventional indications for OWHTO are compartment osteoarthritis and varus malalignment knee; recently has been used successfully in treatment double triple varus. OWHTO, contrast closing osteotomy, does not require fibular or peroneal nerve dissection, lead disruption proximal tibiofibular joint bone stock loss. For these...
Revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA) is a demanding procedure, with high complication and failure rate of bone losses poor quality. Different classifications for have been proposed, but they do not consider quality, which may affect implant fixation. The aim this study to describe the outcomes consecutive series rTKA. Furthermore, modified loss classification will be proposed based also on Finally, association between radiolucent line (RLL) development different risk factors evaluated.All...
Abstract The clinical evaluation of the knee is a fundamental tool to correctly address diagnosis and treatment, should never be replaced by findings retrieved imaging studies carried on patient. Every surgeon has his own series exams with whom he more confident relies for diagnosis. Usually, three sets are used: one patello-femoral/extensor mechanism pathologies; meniscal chondral (articular) lesions; instability evaluation. This review analyses most commonly used tests signs examination,...
Introduction The Harris Hip Score (HHS) is one of the most widely used health related quality life (HRQOL) measures for assessment hip pathology: in spite this, a validation study, and an official Italian version have not been provided yet. aim this study was to create valid reliable HHS. Materials methods score translated modified Italian; then 103 patients with different pathologies were evaluated using HHS also WOMAC SF-12 questionnaires. Content, construct criterion validities tested,...
Purpose To analyze the prognostic factors influencing subjective and objective outcomes return to play (RTP) after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL-R). Methods Primary ACL-Rs using a transtibial technique performed between 2008 2012 were included. Data regarding patients, surgery, sports, rehabilitation, including an on-field rehabilitation (OFR) duration of program, collected. The International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) evaluation forms, Injury Osteoarthritis Outcome...
different strategies have been developed to reduce blood loss in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The efficacy of both systemic and local tranexamic acid (TXA) administration is demonstrated the literature. aim present study was compare systemic, combined (systemic + local) TXA reducing after TKA.we enrolled all patients submitted a primary TKA our department between November 2014 August 2015. They were divided into three groups corresponding method used: intravenous (IV), intra-articular...
The aim of our study was to assess the predictive value Singh index (SI), which estimates bone architecture, and density (BMD) when dealing with mechanical competence analze possible differences in properties between gender humans. relationship SI, BMD, analyzed 106 cylinders from 37 human femoral heads obtained during hip-joint replacement surgery for low energy fracture or osteoarthritis. Bones osteoporotic patients are less dense more brittle compared bones osteoarthritic patients, as...
Revision Total Knee or Hip Arthroplasty is challenging procedures for surgeons usually characterized by bone loss. There are different options available to treat those losses. However, there still a concern on the stability of bone-implant interface, which mandatory achieve good long-term results in prosthetic implants. Recently, porous tantalum has been introduced, with aim improving interface fixation and implant primary stability. Different solutions treatment defects both revision have...
