Bertolotti’s syndrome is characterised by anomalous enlargement of the transverse process(es) most caudal lumbar vertebra which may articulate or fuse with sacrum ilium and cause isolated L4/5 disc disease. We analysed elective MR scans lumbosacral spine 769 consecutive patients low back pain taken between July 2003 November 2004. Of these 568 showed degeneration. was present in 35 a mean age 32.7 years (15 to 60). This younger than that multiple degeneration, single-level disease...
Parents are increasingly turning to the internet seek pediatric health information. Numerous organizations advise that patient educational materials (PEMs) should not surpass sixth-grade reading level. We aimed assess readability of online orthopaedic PEMs.The 176 articles pertaining orthopaedics from American Academy Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS), Pediatric Society North America (POSNA), and Pediatrics (AAP) websites was assessed with use 8 formulae: Flesch-Kincaid Reading Grade Level, Flesch...
Abstract Background Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) in research aims to improve the quality, relevance appropriateness of research. PPI has an established role clinical where there is evidence benefit, policymakers funders place continued emphasis on its inclusion. However, for preclinical research, not yet achieved same level integration. As more researchers, including our team, aim include development evidence‐based approach important. Therefore, this scoping review aimed identify map...
We assessed the outcome of patients with Vancouver type B2 and B3 periprosthetic fractures treated femoral revision using an uncemented extensively porous-coated implant. A retrospective clinical radiographic assessment 22 a mean follow-up 33.7 months was performed. The time from index procedure to fracture 10.8 years. There were 17 satisfactory result. Complications in four included subsidence two, deep sepsis one, delayed union one. Concomitant acetabular required 19 patients. Uncemented...
The in-cement technique for revision hip arthroplasty involves retaining the original cement-bone interface. This has been proven to be a biomechanically stronger method than recementing after complete removal of cement mantle. study reviewed series 54 consecutive procedures, using technique, between November 1999 and 2003. Clinical radiological follow-up included functional assessment. There were procedures performed in 51 patients, whose mean age at surgery was 70.3 years (45 85). A total...
The treatment of pectoralis major tendon ruptures has been the subject much debate. classical history injury is forced abduction and external rotation. cases two patients (an amateur rugby union player a recreational snowboarder) are reported. diagnosis was made by clinical examination in both patients, were operated on more than weeks after injury. After surgery graduated rehabilitation programme, men able to return their sporting activities. These highlight advantage operative management...
Heavy weight lifting using a squat bar is commonly used athletic training exercise. Previous in vivo motion studies have concentrated on of everyday objects and not the vastly increased loads that athletes subject themselves to when performing this exercise.Athletes significantly alter their lumbar spinal at heavy weights.Controlled laboratory study.Forty-eight (28 men, 20 women) performed 6 lifts 40% maximum, 4 60% 2 80% maximum. The Zebris 3D analysis system was measure spine motion....
Preoperative templating is an essential process in total hip arthroplasty (THA), aiding surgical planning and implant selection to optimize patient outcomes. Despite its significance, inconsistently practiced, influenced by factors such as surgeon experience institutional protocols. In light of increasing THA rates, this study aimed assess adherence guidelines within our institution evaluate the impact a new protocol on compliance. We conducted closed-loop audit with initial review 50 cases,...
Aims Although the use of metal-on-metal (MoM) implants in total hip arthroplasty (THA) remains a topic controversy, prior literature has reported satisfactory ten-year clinical and radiological outcomes following Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR), subsequently resulting recent Orthopaedic Data Evaluation Panel (ODEP) rating 15 A*. Therefore, purpose this study was to evaluate functional outcomes, revision rates BHR at minimum years’ follow-up non-designer centre. Methods Two investigators...
