Background: Massive rotator cuff tears (MRCTs) represent a major clinical concern, especially when degeneration and chronicity are involved, which highly compromise healing capacity. Purpose: To study the effect of secretome mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on tendon (TCs) followed by combination these activated TCs with an electrospun keratin-based scaffold to develop tissue engineering strategy improve tendon-bone interface (TBi) in chronic MRCT rat model. Study Design: Controlled laboratory...
Acetabular retroversion (AR) consists of a malorientation the acetabulum in sagittal plane. AR is associated with changes load transmission across hip, being risk factor for early osteoarthrosis. The pathophysiological basis an anterior acetabular hyper-coverage and overall pelvic rotation. delay or non-diagnosis could have impact management femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). subtype (focal) pincer deformity. objective this review was to clarify pathophysiological, diagnosis treatment...
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....
Assessing the integrity of posterior ligament complex (PLC), as a key element in characterization an unstable Thoracolumbar fracture (TLF), is challenging, but crucial choice treatment. How to create reproducible score using combined parameters Computed Tomography (CT) predict nonobvious PLC injury. CT relate with status. Retrospective analysis neurologically intact patients acute traumatic TLF, who underwent and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) within 72 h, Emergency Department single...
Study Design. Retrospective patient series analysis with update of long-term data. Objective. To define the prognosis thoracolumbar/lumbar correction after selective anterior spinal fusion (ASF) in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Summary Background Data. The ASF is a well-described procedure for treatment AIS. reliability over time, consequences adjacent levels and patient's quality life are fundamental characterization AIS treatment. Methods. One hundred seven patients were submitted...
To determine the variation in global treatment practices for subaxial unilateral cervical spine facet fractures based on surgeon experience, practice setting, and surgical subspecialty.A survey was sent to 272 members of AO Spine Subaxial Injury Classification System Validation Group worldwide. Questions surveyed preferences with regard diagnostic work-up fracture types F1-F3, according Cervical System, various associated neurologic injuries.A total 161 responses were received. Academic...
Thoracolumbar (TL) transition trauma is frequent and challenging. Although short- (SSPF) long-segment posterior fixation (LSPF) are its mainstay treatment, little known about their failure rates reasons behind it. understand why TL instrumentations fail what factors influence Retrospective, cohort, unicentric analysis on adult patients with acute treated percutaneous transpedicular SSPF or LSPF. Two groups were created, according to the presence of treatment at follow-up. We analyzed whether...
Abstract: Proximal tibiofibular joint (PTFJ) dislocation is a rare injury, accounting for less than 1% of all knee injuries. The mechanism this injury usually sports related. Diagnosis largely clinical, but the findings may be subtle. This condition easily missed. There no larger series described in literature only several cases PTFJ treated by different methods. We present two antero-lateral successfully with approaches.
Purpose: Hip hemiarthroplasty (HA) is considered the best surgical choice in treatment of femoral neck fracture (FNF) elderly and low demanding patients, allowing immediate full weight bearing decreased reoperation rate.HA instability a serious complication that can lead to revision surgery dictate lower survival rates.The aim this study was identify clinical risk factors associated with an increased dislocation after cemented HA through posterolateral approach.Methods: Retrospective...
Abstract: A 32-year-old male professional soccer player was tackled during practice on the left ankle. Convectional radiography revealed supra-syndesmotic peroneal fracture (Weber type C) with indirect signs of ankle instability. This fractures are often associated syndesmosis injuries and misdiagnose or malreduction may lead to a long delay in full recovery even post-traumatic arthritis. Ankle arthroscopy is becoming useful widespread technique multiple applications. Recently, several...
Objectives The present study aims to characterize the spinal balance (SB) in young adults with Schmorl nodes (SN). Methods A cross-sectional was conducted on a sample of 47 adults. Lumbar magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) used divide patients into an SN group and control group. Standing full spine radiographs were compare spinopelvic SB parameters between groups: sagittal vertical axis, thoracic kyphosis, lumbar lordosis (LL), pelvic incidence (PI), tilt (PT), sacral slope (SS). Results LL SS...
The purpose of this review reviews is to assess if FIFA 11+ effective for injury prevention in football. A search systematic published after 2014 was performed the PubMed and PEDro databases included were evaluated through AMSTAR checklist. In total, four included, three them with meta-analysis. quality evidence found moderate high quality. conclusion, there that using protocol reduces total number injuries specific lower limb injuries.
