Orthopedics

Concomitant avulsion fractures of the extensor carpi radialis longus and brevis tendons are relatively rare injuries. The usual injury mechanism is forced hyperflexion to an actively extended wrist. No consensus exists regarding the appropriate management ...

The presence of retained femoral hardware, usually as a consequence of prior orthopedic trauma, has been classically presented as something that must be removed prior to total hip arthroplasty. However, hardware removal is not without risks, including ...

Mobile image intensifiers are more readily used to assess acetabular cup placement when performing a total hip arthroplasty through a direct anterior approach. However, patient positioning affects pelvic tilt and rotation, which in turn requires proper C-...

Distal radial fractures are among the most commonly encountered traumatic fractures of the upper extremity. Initial trauma mechanism, fracture pattern, associated injuries, and patient age influence treatment and outcome. Although stable fractures are ...

Educational ObjectivesAs a result of reading this article, physicians should be able to: 1. Discuss the clinical presentation of and different imaging modality options for suspected osteoid osteomas. 2. Develop an insight into the histopathology and ...

Bibliometric indicators are used to assess research performance. The goal of this study was to explore publication output to construct a picture of orthopedics that may be beneficial to researchers and orthopedic specialists. All orthopedics articles ...

The coronoid process is one of the main elbow constraints that provides ulnohumeral joint stability. Coronoid fractures may be fixed using multiple techniques, including transosseous sutures, screws, and plates. The goal of this study was to analyze the ...

Pisotriquetral osteoarthritis is important to consider in the differential diagnosis of chronic ulnar-sided wrist pain. It can develop following traumatic injury to the pisiform or in rheumatic diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis or psoriatic ...

Ideberg type III glenoid fractures with associated superior shoulder suspensory complex (SSSC) injuries are rare, and related treatments have not been reported in the literature. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of such ...

Symptomatic adjacent segment disease (ASD) after anterior cervical fusion (ACF) is reported in 25% of patients at 10 years postoperatively. Debate continues as to whether this degeneration is due to the natural history of the disk or the changed ...

Treatment of posterolateral tibial plateau fractures is controversial, and information regarding this specific fracture pattern is lacking. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the frequency and morphological features of posterolateral articular ...

Early studies on the treatment of osteoporotic distal fibular fractures suggest that poor bone quality can compromise fixation and, therefore, clinical outcome. Multiple prior biomechanical studies evaluated length-stable fracture models with destructive ...

Scientific conferences, such as the British Association for Surgery of the Knee (BASK) annual meeting, provide an important channel for the exchange of information between researchers. However, the ultimate means of disseminating research information is ...

Growing orthopedic and nonorthopedic literature illustrates the point that having health insurance does not equal having access to care. The goal of this study was to evaluate the burden placed on patients to gain access to outpatient orthopedic care. For ...

Generally, surgical treatment is recommended for Rockwood type 5 traumatic acromioclavicular joint dislocations. Since 1980, the authors have performed the modified Dewar procedure, the modified Cadenat procedure, and anatomical reconstruction of the ...

The authors hypothesized that the emergence of painful bone marrow edema occurs through microembolisms in the bone marrow that may be reflected in elevated plasma parameters of hypofibrinolysis or a disturbance of the lipid metabolism and that treatment ...

The purpose of this retrospective study was to compare the outcomes and complications of conventional open surgical release and percutaneous needle release in the treatment of trigger thumb. The study comprised 87 patients with trigger thumb who were ...

The classic literature describes the transverse humeral ligament (THL) as a distinct anatomic structure with a role in biceps tendon stability; however, recent literature suggests that it is not a distinct anatomic structure. The purpose of this study was ...

The goal of this study was to analyze the clinical and radiographic results and the survival rate of a series of rotating-hinge implants used for revision total knee arthroplasties in mild and severe instability.

Between December 1991 and June 2004, fifty-...

The objective of this study was to determine whether the modified Stoppa approach or the ilioinguinal approach is better for the treatment of acetabular fractures by comparing the results of those 2 approaches. A randomized trial was undertaken of 60 ...

The goal of this study was to compare the biomechanical stability of cannulated locking screws and noncannulated cortical locking screws in a periarticular locking plate. Twelve fresh-frozen porcine tibias with a 1-cm gap created distal to the tibial ...

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of foot pain in adults. In this prospective study, the outcomes of local tenoxicam injection and corticosteroid therapy for the treatment of plantar fasciitis were compared.

Patients were randomly assigned ...

As the prevalence of revision total hip arthroplasty increases, the mechanisms of failure of these revisions have become better delineated. Several studies have indicated infection, instability, and aseptic loosening to be the more common mechanisms of ...

Anterior interosseous nerve palsy subsequent to proximal humerus fracture is rare compared with an axillary nerve injury. This article presents a case of anterior interosseous nerve palsy secondary to such a fracture in an 87-year-old woman after a simple ...

Various shapes of congenital abnormalities of the meniscus have been reported. Among them, the double-layered meniscus is rare. This article describes a 22-year-old man with a double-layered lateral meniscus who reported right knee pain with no history of ...
