Acute non-displaced fractures of the scaphoid: earlier return to activities after operative treatment. A controlled multicenter cohort study
Email this article to a colleague.
Save this article to My Clippings.

Conclusion Operative treatment therefore primarily facilitates earlier return to previous activity level, as well as better functional
status, less pain and higher patient satisfaction, yet conservative treatment seems to be safer and associated with a lower
complication rate.

Diagnostic imaging and unforeseen associated lesions in astragalo-scaphoid dislocation: a case reportEmail this article to a colleague.
Save this article to My Clippings.
Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract A case of an isolated astragalo-scaphoid dislocation following a fall from a motorbike is reported. Due to the diagnostic
obscurity of the full extent of the injury, computed tomography (CT) with 3D reconstruction was utilized to precisely visualize
the articular condition and revealed the presence of small intra-articular bone fragments and calcaneo-cuboid subluxation.
Furthermore, the detailed imaging offered valuable information for preoperative planning. Patient has healed without sequelae.
In light of the good outcome in this case, we suggest utilizing CT with 3D reconstruction when there is a ...

Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion The MR-assisted retrograde drilling of osteochondral lesions may enable precise and safe treatment without radiation exposure.
This passive navigation technique for MR fluoroscopy is potentially applicable for many orthopedic interventions and may present
an alternative to other navigation methods. Especially, the treatment of pediatric and adolescent patients may benefit from
the typical MRI properties.

Save this article to My Clippings.
Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion This is the first study that shows that TFCC cells express TRAIL and DR4, which suggests that apoptosis, as well as, mechanical
trauma are involved in the development of disc perforation. The TRAIL/DR4 receptor system is a molecular mediator of apoptosis
induction in TFC cells and therefore plays a role in cell loss in degenerative disc lesions.

Mattress suture-bridge technique for bursal-side partial-thickness rotator cuff tearsEmail this article to a colleague.

Abstract The standard procedure used to repair partial-thickness tears involves initial progression of the lesion to a full-thickness
tear prior to tendon repair. However, the option for a bursal-side partial-thickness rotator cuff tear includes the preservation
of as much of the remaining intact fibers as possible. Instead of inserting suture anchors in the medial row, as in the conventional
suture-bridge technique, two mattress sutures are inserted into the rotator cuff. Full-thickness access is achieved using
a percutaneous spinal needle and medial mattress sutures to preserve the articular bone attachmen...

Discussion Limb rotation had a highly statistically significant effect on measured anatomic alignment and mechanical angles. A correlation
between limb rotation, anatomic mechanical angle, mechanical angles measured at femur and tibia and the femoral component
distance ratio was established. As the anatomic mechanical angle and the femoral component distance ratio change linearly
in the range of 20° internal and external limb rotation, a calculation of the femoral component distance ratio could be used
to re-calculate the limb rotation at the time of radiographic assessment to evaluate the evidence of a lon...

Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions These data show that degeneration of the deltoid muscle is of impact for clinical outcome. Although other factors like disuse
or pain as a reason for muscular changes cannot be fully excluded, this degeneration might occur after time due to biomechanical
changes after reversed arthroplasty. However, prospective studies with longer follow-up periods and repetitive assessment
of muscle quality are necessary to further support these results.

Conclusion We confirm that 18F-FDG-PET is an appropriate tool to diagnose hip arthroplasty loosening. Differing from that 18F-FDG-PET showed a significant lower sensitivity/specificity in detecting septic loosening of knee endoprostheses. It may
therefore be necessary to use different methods to diagnose loosening of endoprostheses depending on the type of implant which
is examined.

Conclusion We suggest that an STS masquerading as hematoma should be suspected when the mechanism and the energy of the trauma do not

include pathologic examination of tissue. Prognosis is dismal due to early metastatic disease.

kept as a differential diagnosis in a patient presenting with cystic lesion around a joint, especially if there is a history
of significant trauma in recent past.

Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion Preloaded compression technique was successful in attaining maximum compression rate. During trailing-side insertion, constant
pitch design failed to keep compression rate. Variable pitches can be useful to preserve or increase compression rate. In
addition, sleeve usage may be more advantageous in thin fragment fixation.

Effective arthroscopic treatment of large, anteriorly extended spinoglenoid cystsEmail this article to a colleague.

Abstract Despite their rarity, several modalities have been used to treat spinoglenoid cysts of the shoulder. Recently, a report was
issued on arthroscopic decompression through a communication hole and posterior capsulotomy through the glenohumeral joint.
However, complete cystectomy is not possible using these methods if a cyst is large or extends anteriorly. Here, the authors
describe a method of extra-articular complete cystectomy through the bursal space, which was used in three patients with large
spinoglenoid cysts that extended anteriorly. All three patients were able to return to work without restri...

Conclusion Removal of pedicle screws because of back pain may be effective, but complete remission of symptoms could be achieved in only
12% of patients. However, 63% of patients would undergo hardware removal again. Preoperative diagnostic infiltration can help
to predict the outcome but results are inconsistent. Communication difficulties may worsen the outcome. Surgeons should consider
these results when planning implant removal and patients should be informed thoroughly to avoid too high expectations.

Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions During the operation of plate–screw fixation of the anterior column on the acetabulum, there are three ways to avoid screw
penetration of the hip joint. The first one is to use the long screw. Its entry point is placed as close to pelvic brim as
possible, and the entry direction is parallel to the quadrilateral surface. The second one is to use the short screws whose
lengths are 14, 12 and 10 mm and locate them in the region between the pelvis brim and 0.5-cm entry point, between 0.5- and
1.0-cm entry point, between 1.0- and 1.5-cm entry point, respectively, regardless of the direction of ...

Abstract Over recent years, the incidence of infection caused by antibiotic-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (a conditional pathogenic bacterium) has showed an increasing trend in such hospital departments as ICUs. Infections caused
by antibiotic-resistant A. baumannii have drawn much attention from the medical professionals because it is difficult to manage such infections, and because the
mortality related to such infections is high. To date, no cure of gouty arthritis and septic arthritis meanwhile complicated
by antibiotic-resistant A. baumannii infection has been reported. We cured such a patient of int...
