Roidis, N.; Varitimidis, S.; Poultsides, L.; Liakou, P.; Karachalios, T.; Malizos, K. (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 ... -
The Catabolic Role of Toll-Like Receptor 2 (TLR-2) Mediated by the NF-kappa B Pathway in Septic Arthritis
Papathanasiou, I.; Malizos, K. N.; Poultsides, L.; Karachalios, T.; Oikonomou, P.; Tsezou, A. (2011)Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are involved in mediating cell activation on stimulation with microbial components.

Central Role of SREBP-2 in the Pathogenesis of Osteoarthritis
Kostopoulou, F.; Gkretsi, V.; Malizos, K. N.; Iliopoulos, D.; Oikonomou, P.; Poultsides, L.; Tsezou, A. (2012)Background: Recent studies have implied that osteoarthritis (OA) is a metabolic disease linked to deregulation of genes involved in lipid metabolism and cholesterol efflux. Sterol Regulatory Element Binding Proteins (SREBPs) ... -
Clinical and epidemiological features of upper-extremity infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus carrying the PVL gene: A four-year study in Greece
Dailiana, Z. H.; Rigopoulos, N.; Varitimidis, S. E.; Poultsides, L.; Petinaki, E.; Malizos, K. N. (2008)Background: All Staphyloccus aureus isolated during 2003-2006 at a university hospital in Thessalia, central Greece, from ulcerative upper-extremity infection were tested for the presence of PVL gene and for possible clonal ... -
Complex regional pain syndrome type I as a consequence of trauma or surgery to upper extremity: management with intravenous regional anaesthesia, using lidocaine and methyloprednisolone
Varitimidis, S. E.; Papatheodorou, L. K.; Dailiana, Z. H.; Poultsides, L.; Malizos, K. N. (2011)Complex regional pain syndrome type I (CRPS-I) is a known complication after surgery or trauma to the upper extremity and is difficult to treat. A simple and easily tolerated method of treatment that includes intravenous ... -

Do steroids, conventional non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and selective Cox-2 inhibitors adversely affect fracture healing?
Boursinos, L. A.; Karachalios, T.; Poultsides, L.; Malizos, K. N. (2009)Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are among the most commonly used drugs worldwide. They are prescribed for orthopaedic conditions such as osteoarthritis, soft-tissue injuries and fractures. The new generation ... -
The effects of the short-term administration of low therapeutic doses of anti-COX-2 agents on the healing of fractures - An experimental study in rabbits
Karachalios, T.; Boursinos, L.; Poultsides, L.; Khaldi, L.; Malizos, K. N. (2007)We have evaluated the effect of the short-term administration of low therapeutic doses of modern COX-2 inhibitors on the healing of fractures. A total of 40 adult male New Zealand rabbits were divided into five groups. A ... -
