Ankle and foot osteomyelitis: Treatment protocol and clinical results
(2010)Introduction A management protocol for ankle and foot osteomyelitis and the outcome in 84 patients treated in a unit with special interest in musculoskeletal infection, is presented Patients and methods Patients' mean age ... -
Arthroscopic ankle arthrodesis
(2007)Background: Arthroscopic arthrodesis has been used mainly for in situ fusion of arthritic ankles without deformity. This paper presents the application of arthroscopic arthrodesis of ankles with marked deformity. Methods: ... -
A "biologic technique" for the treatment of a disruption of the extensor mechanism after revision total knee arthroplasty: a case report
(2008)A modified technique for the reconstruction of the extensor mechanism after revision total knee arthroplasty, is described. A medial gastrocnemius flap, in combination with in situ use of semitendinosus tendon autograft ... -
A capsular-based vascularized distal radius graft for proximal pole scaphoid pseudarthrosis
(2006)Purpose: To evaluate the clinical results of the application of a capsular-based dorsal distal radius vascularized bone graft in scaphoid proximal pole nonunions. Methods: Thirteen patients with symptomatic nonunion at the ... -
Comparison of Functional Gains After Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair in Patients Over 70 Years of Age Versus Patients Under 50 Years of Age: A Prospective Multicenter Study
(2015)Purpose: To assess rotator cuff rupture characteristics and evaluate healing and the functional outcome after arthroscopic repair in patients older than 70 years versus patients younger than 50 years. Methods: We conducted ... -
Digital coverage with flaps from the same or neighboring digits
(2011)Objective: Several flaps can be dissected from the same or neighboring digits for the reconstruction of relatively large soft tissue digital defects. Material and Methods: In a 6-year period, 106 large soft tissue digital ... -
DONOR SITES FOR PEDICLED SKELETAL GRAFTS OF THE HAND, WRIST, AND FOREARM
(2009)Pedicled bone and periosteal grafts provide successful reconstruction of skeletal problems of the distal radius, wrist, and hand. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the available alternatives and to propose the most ... -
Elimination of motion, pulsatile flow and cross-talk artifacts using blade sequences in lumbar spine MR imaging
(2013)The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ability of T2 turbo spin echo (TSE) axial and sagittal BLADE sequences in reducing or even eliminating motion, pulsatile flow and cross-talk artifacts in lumbar spine MRI ... -
Exploring new search algorithms and hardware for phylogenetics: RAxML meets the IBM cell
(2007)Phylogenetic inference is considered to be one of the grand challenges in Bioinformatics due to the immense computational requirements. RAxML is currently among the fastest and most accurate programs for phylogenetic tree ... -
Frequency content asymmetry of the isokinetic curve between ACL deficient and healthy knee
(2004)The torque-time curve patterns of concentric isokinetic knee extension in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) deficient patients usually present mid-range irregularities associated with the level of anterior tibial translation. ... -
Historical Overview of Venous Valve Prostheses for the Treatment of Deep Venous Valve Insufficiency
(2012)Almost 3% of people in the Western world will suffer from a venous disease at some time in their lives, but as yet there are very few effective treatments for the venous system. When the valves become incompetent, they ... -
Hybrid Endovascular and Open Treatment of Severe Multilevel Lower Extremity Arterial Disease
(2009)Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of simultaneous combined endovascular and open tower extremity arterial reconstruction. Design: Case series study with retrospective analysis of prospectively collected ... -
Hybrid procedures for the treatment of multi-focal ipsilateral internal carotid and proximal common carotid or innominate artery lesions
(2011)We report three cases with concomitant ipsilateral proximal common carotid and internal carotid artery stenosis treated in one stage with carotid endarterectomy and retrograde primary stenting of the common carotid artery. ... -
Influence of orthotopic placement on the incorporation and mechanical strength of a loaded structural cortical graft: An experimental study in rabbits
(2000)The biological and mechanical behavior of loaded cortical autografts were evaluated in an experimental study using 40 adult male New Zealand rabbits divided into 4 groups. A double osteotomy was performed on all animals ... -
On the Verge of a Grand Solar Minimum: A Second Maunder Minimum?
(2015)We analyze the yearly mean sunspot-number data covering the period 1700 to 2012. We show that the yearly sunspot number is a low-dimensional deterministic chaotic system. We perform future predictions trying to forecast ... -
Scaphoid nonunions: Management with vascularized bone grafts from the distal radius: A clinical and functional outcome study
(2007)Background: Scaphoid nonunions remain controversial with regard to optimal management, especially for those located at the proximal third. In this study, the authors aim to assess the union rate, avascular proximal pole ... -
Tracheal Replacement With Cryopreserved Allogenic Aorta
(2010)Background: Radical resection of primary tracheal tumors may be challenging when more than one-half of the tracheal length is concerned. The present study evaluated the use of cryopreserved aortic allografts (CAAs) to ...
