[Patellar fracture after patellar stabilization.]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We report on a 20-year-old female patient with a fracture of the patella after she fell on"black ice" 2 months after medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction for patellar instability. For reconstruction of the MPFL, a single hamstring tendon graft was passed through the medial intermuscular septum and was fixed to the superomedial pole of the patella. The fracture was reduced by wire cerclage. Intraoperatively it was shown that the fracture line went through the patellar drill hole. No complications occurred during the further postoperative period. The literature contains only a few case reports describing frac...

Spinal decompensation in degenerative lumbar scoliosisEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract Due to the aging population, degenerative scoliosis is a growing clinical problem. It is associated with back pain and radicular symptoms. The pathogenesis of degenerative scoliosis lies in degenerative changes of the spinal structures, such as the intervertebral disc, the facet joints and the vertebrae itself. Possibly muscle weakness also plays a role. However, it is not clear what exactly causes the decompensation to occur and what determines the direction of the curve. It is known that in the normal spine a pre-existing rotation exists at the thoracic level, but not at the lumbar level. In this ...

The relation between geometry and function of the ankle joint complex: a biomechanical reviewEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract This review deals with the relation between the anatomy and function of the ankle joint complex. The questions addressed are how high do the forces in the ankle joint get, where can the joints go (range of motion) and where do they go during walking and running. Finally the role of the ligaments and the articular surfaces is discussed, i.e. how does it happen. The magnitude of the loads on the ankle joint complex are primarily determined by muscle activity and can be as high as four times the body weight during walking. For the maximal range of motion, plantar and dorsiflexion occurs in the talocrur...

Effect of hyperbaric oxygen on mesenchymal stem cells for lumbar fusion in vivoEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: This study demonstrated that the preconditioned MSCs could survive and yield bone formation in the grafted area. HBO therapy did not enhance the osteogenic ability of MSCs and improve the success of spine fusion in the rabbit model. Although there was no significant effect of HBO therapy on MSCs for spine fusion, the study encourages us to research a more basic approach for determining the optimal oxygen tension and pressure that are required to maintain and enhance the osteogenic ability of preconditioned MSCs. Further controlled in vivo and in vitro studies are required for achieving a better understanding o...

CONCLUSIONS: At long-term followup, the overall revision rate remained low (6%). For patients surviving 15 years or more, the rate of revision was 12.8% and all revisions were secondary to aseptic sequelae of polyethylene wear. All revisions occurred more than 10 years after the initial procedures. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, therapeutic study. See Guidelines for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Synovial Fluid Biomarkers for Periprosthetic Infection.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with a periprosthetic infection have elevated levels of numerous synovial fluid biomarkers, when compared to patients with aseptic diagnoses. Several of these biomarkers exhibited nearly ideal sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy in this study, suggesting that synovial fluid biomarkers could be a valuable tool for diagnosing periprosthetic infection.

[Arthroscopic treatment of an intra-articular tumor of the hip joint.]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We present the clinical case of an 18-year-old woman who complained of acute hip pain. MRI showed an intra-articular tumor 4 cm in size with osteolysis (18 mm) on the distal region of the femoral head-neck junction. Focal pigmented villonodular synovitis infiltrating the bone was diagnosed. A complete resection of the tumor including the osteolytic area was done by an arthroscopic procedure. There was no sign of relapse after 8 months of follow-up, with no pain and complete function of the hip. Arthroscopic treatment has the advantage of minimal surgical trauma and good mid-term results for treating a focal lesion in selec...

Inhibition of osteoclastogenesis by prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor dimethyloxallyl glycineEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract Studies examining the effects of hypoxia upon osteoclast biology have consistently revealed a stimulatory effect; both osteoclast differentiation and resorption activity have been shown to be enhanced in the presence of hypoxia. In the present study we examined the effects of the hypoxia mimetics dimethyloxallyl glycine (DMOG) and desferrioxamine (DFO) upon osteoclastogenesis. In contrast to hypoxia, our studies revealed a dose-dependent inhibition of osteoclast formation from macrophages treated with DMOG and DFO. Moreover, expression of a constitutively active form of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α ...

Camptocormia: the bent spine syndrome, an updateEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract Camptocormia, also referred to as bent spine syndrome (BSS) is defined as an abnormal flexion of the trunk, appearing in standing position, increasing during walking and abating in supine position. BSS was initially considered, especially in wartime, as a psychogenic disorder. It is now recognized that in addition to psychiatric syndromes, many cases of reducible BSS have a somatic origin related to a number of musculo-skeletal or neurological disorders. The majority of BSS of muscular origin is related to a primary idiopathic axial myopathy of late onset, appearing progressively in elderly patients...

The definition of complex pelvic trauma has allowed a selection of those pelvic fracture patients with the highest mortality rate. The term complex pelvic trauma is used as a definition for pelvic fractures which are associated with serious soft tissue lesions in the pelvic region. These may include visceral and neurovascular, as well as extensive skin and muscle injuries. Haemodynamic instability particularly related to vascular injuries raises the mortality dramatically.

British pain clinic practitioners' recognition and use of the bio-psychosocial pain management model for patients when physical interventions are ineffective or inappropriate: results of a qualitative studyEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: Pain clinic practitioners readily embraced cognitive/behavioural based management strategies but relatively little consideration to the impact social factors played in managing chronic pain was reported. Consequently multidisciplinary pain clinics espousing a bio-psychosocial model of pain management may not be achieving their maximum potential. (Source: BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders)

The use of botulinum toxin A in children with cerebral palsy, with a focus on the lower limbEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract Purpose The purpose of this review is to clarify the role of botulinum toxin serotype A (BTX-A) in the treatment of children with cerebral palsy (CP), with a special focus on the lower limb. Background The treatment of spasticity is central in the clinical management of children with CP. BTX-A blocks the release of acetylcholine at the motor end plate, causing a temporary muscular denervation and, in an indirect way, a reduced spasticity. Children with increased tone develop secondary problems over time, such as muscle contractures and bony deformities, which impair their functi...
