a reduction in the overall knee adduction moment (captured by PC1), a reduction in the late stance magnitude of the knee adduction moment magnitude (captured by PC2 and PC3) and an increase in the early stance knee adduction moment magnitude (captured by PC2) (p<
0.05).
standardization of surgical and post-surgical care resulted in superior care among the SPRINT centres and surgeons and proscription of surgery until after 6 months. Optimizing peri-operative care and avoiding premature re-operation may substantially decrease the need for re-operation in tibial fracture patients.
The ability to mask the surgeons (the proportion of radiographs in which the surgeons were able to correctly identify the implant and the Bang Blinding Index); Surgeons’ ability to accurately rate the quality of reduction in blinded images; Surgeons’ perceptions of difficulties rating the blinded images.
General Attitude of Orthopaedic Surgeon Towards IPV, Attitude of Orthopaedic Surgeon Towards Victims and Batterers and Clinical Relevance of IPV in Orthopaedic Surgery.
Up to 3 follow up mailings were performed to enhance response rates.
femoral bone graft obtained using the RIA {n=10} chronOS washed with RIA filtrate {n=10}and a mixture of these two materials {n=10}.
chronOS (alone) was used as control {n=10}. These materials were implanted into a sub-muscular pouch in athymic rats (to eliminate rejection of the xenograft). Rat serum levels of BMP-2, VEG-F, TGF-β and IL-10 were obtained at days 7, 14, 21 and 28. Rats were sacrificed at day 28 and radiographic and histologic examinations and histomorphometric analyses were performed.
First, to investigate whether a cylindrical, biodegradable load-bearing scaffold, stabilized with an intramedullary (IM) nail, will facilitate early weight bearing in a critical sized canine defect model. The second objective is to investigate if rhBMP-2, transported by the biodegradable carrier, will enhance bone formation and healing across a critical sized canine defect.
To measure the edge angle of the medial (alpha) and lateral (beta) talar dome, curves were adjusted along the medial and lateral talar body and on top of the talar dome measuring the angles in-between. To measure the radius, circles were fitted into the medial and lateral talar dome (rm and rl).
accessory naviculars of adequate size underwent an ORIF (10), and accessory naviculars of smaller size underwent a modified Kidner procedure (7).
Corrective osteotomies and/or soft-tissue procedures were performed concomitantly in nine patients to address pes planus. Pre- and postoperatively, patients were assessed radiographically. Preoperative MRI scans were analyzed to see if there was any correlation between MRI findings and success of ORIF. Patients were evaluated with the AOFAS midfoot clinical rating system (max 100 points).
The current fellowship hiring process is decentralized, poorly functioning, unraveled and generally unfair. It creates anxiety for residents, residency directors, and fellowship directors alike. Residents are facing exploding offers, limited exposure to fellowship programs and, ultimately, an unraveling hiring market. Residents are in favor of changing the current decentralized process into either a more centralized clearing-house system or subspecialty-based match approach. In either system, accountability for both residents and fellowship directors is critical. Both the AOA and AAOS should devote resources to improve the fellowship hiring process.
apply the CLEAR NPT to orthopaedic RCTs across multiple journals from 2004–2005, and survey authors when items in the CLEAR NPT were not reported to determine if they were actually conducted.
We hypothesized that “lack of reporting” did not necessarily correlate with “not being conducted”.
