Outcome after tantalum rod implantation for treatment of femoral head osteonecrosis
(2009)
Background and purpose Tantalum rod implantation has recently been proposed for treatment of early stages of femoral head osteonecrosis. The purpose of our study was to report the early results of its use in pre- and ...
Guided ultrasound wave propagation in intact and healing long bones
(2006)
Ultrasonic evaluation of bone fracture healing has been traditionally based on the measurement of the propagation velocity of the first arriving signal (FAS). However, the FAS in general corresponds to a lateral wave that ...

Genetic variation including nonsynonymous polymorphisms of a major aggrecanase, ADAMTS-5, in susceptibility to osteoarthritis
(2008)
Objective. Given the recent characterization of ADAMTS-5 as the main aggrecanase of cartilage destruction in mouse models, we explored whether genetic variation and, in particular, putative damaging polymorphisms in the ...
Clinical Outcome Study and Radiological Findings of Zweymuller Metal on Metal Total Hip Arthroplasty. A Follow-up of 6 to 15 Years
(2009)
We report the clinical and radiological outcome of 99 Zweymuller metal on metal total hip arthroplasties in 84 patients followed up prospectively for a mean period of 9.5 (range, 6-15) years. There were 29 (34.5%) male and ...
Epidural bleeding after ACL reconstruction under regional anaesthesia: A case report
(2009)
Introduction: Epidural bleeding as a complication of catheterization or epidural catheter removal is often associated with perioperative thromboprophylaxis especially in adult reconstructive surgery. Case presentation: We ...
Transosseous application of low-intensity ultrasound at the tendon-bone interface affects the healing rate and up-regulates simultaneously the expression of collagen type i and tRNAGly
(2008)
The present study investigates the effect of transosseous low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LiUS) during lingamentization process on the healing at tendon graft-bone interface in rabbits. Analysis of the RT-PCR products ...
Compartmental infections of the hand
(2008)
Suppurative conditions of the hand-wrist compartments result in a "vicious circle" of infection and increase in compartmental pressure that reduces perfusion of soft tissues and facilitates spreading of the infection. We ...
Differential expression of leptin and leptin's receptor isoform (Ob-Rb) mRNA between advanced and minimally affected osteoarthritic cartilage; effect on cartilage metabolism
(2007)
Objective: To investigate leptin's effect on cartilage metabolism and the pathophysiology of osteoarthritis (OA). Methods: Messenger RNA (mRNA) expression and protein levels of leptin and leptin's receptor isoforms were ...
Association of KLOTHO Gene Polymorphisms with Knee Osteoarthritis in Greek Population
(2008)
Based on the fact that klotho-deficient mice exhibit multiple aging phenotypes, including osteopenia and subchondral sclerosis of joints and on the recent observation that KLOTHO gene plays an important role in calcium/phosphate ...
