Diagnostic accuracy of a new clinical test (The Thessaly test) for early detection of meniscal tears
(2005)
Background: Clinical tests used for the detection of meniscal tears in the knee do not present acceptable diagnostic sensitivity and specificity values. Diagnostic accuracy is improved by arthroscopic evaluation or magnetic ...
Combined anterior and posterior shoulder dislocation as a manifestation of a brain tumour
(2004)
Seizures are sometimes the first manifestation of a brain tumour. They may give rise to shoulder fractures or fracture-dislocations. When bilateral, these lesions tend to be symmetrical. The patient reported here suffered ...
Fast sequences MR imaging at the investigation of painful skeletal sites in patients with hip osteonecrosis
(2015)
Background: Multiple osteonecrotic foci can be clinically silent when located in metaphyses and becomes painful when it affects juxta-articular areas. The purpose of this study was to assess the value of fast MR imaging ...
The role of MR imaging in staging femoral head osteonecrosis
(2007)
Reliability, accuracy and prognostic value of any classification system are important in evaluation and treatment of femoral head osteonecrosis. The purpose of the present study was to correlate the plain radiographs with ...
Munchausen syndrome: A differential diagnostic trap for hand surgeons
(2010)
A 24-year-old woman was referred with an extremely painful, stiff, swollen, and hypersensitive right upper extremity. She had history of four previous operations on the same extremity. The primary diagnosis was complex ...
Hemiarthroplasty for three- and four-part displaced fractures of the proximal humerus in patients over 65 years of age
(2007)
This is a prospective case series, in which the outcome of shoulder hemiarthroplasty in recent three- and four-part fractures of the proximal humerus was evaluated in patients over 65 years of age. From February 1993 to ...
Involvement of SOX-9 and FGF-23 in RUNX-2 regulation in osteoarthritic chondrocytes
(2009)
Chondrocytes' hypertrophy includes metabolic changes, matrix remodelling, proliferation and apoptosis, characteristics associated with the progression of osteoarthritis. We investigated a possible association among ...
Bone morphogenetic protein-2-induced Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway activation through enhanced low-density-lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5 catabolic activity contributes to hypertrophy in osteoarthritic chondrocytes
(2012)
Introduction: Events normally taking place in the terminal chondrocyte differentiation in the growth plate are also observed during osteoarthritis (OA) development, suggesting that molecules, such as Wnts and bone morphogenetic ...
