Incision stretching in primary TKA: What is the real length of our approach?
(2007)
This article examines the extent of anterior knee soft-tissue stretching. that occurs in patients undergoing primary total knee arthroplasty for 331 consecutive patients. At the time of surgery, an anterior knee incision ...
Predictive role of cytokine gene polymorphisms for the development of femoral head osteonecrosis
(2012)
Introduction: Osteonecrosis (ON) is a multifactorial disease that leads to hip destruction. Lately, much focus has been at femoral head preservation with nonsurgical methods. In this study we examined the polymorphisms of ...
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) expression in the femoral heads of patients with avascular necrosis
(2013)
Avascular necrosis (AVN) is a disorder of the bone repair process which usually results in femoral head (FH) destruction. Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are the key proteins regulating bone remodelling and healing. ...
Paraplegia-related alterations of bone density in forearm and hip in Greek patients after spinal cord injury
(2003)
Purpose: Paraplegia due to spinal cord injury is related with sublesional bone demineralization with an increased incidence of pathologic fractures in lower extremities. This study was carried out in order to evaluate bone ...
Do steroids, conventional non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and selective Cox-2 inhibitors adversely affect fracture healing?
(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 ...
VASCULARIZED FIBULA TRANSFER FOR LOWER LIMB RECONSTRUCTION
(2011)
Massive bony defects of the lower extremity are usually the result of high-energy trauma, tumor resection, or severe sepsis. Vascularized fibular grafts are useful in the reconstruction of large skeletal defects, especially ...
Rotator cuff interval reconstruction
(2006)
Five pairs of cadaveric shoulders underwent posterior and anterior drawer and inferior sulcus tests in five progressive conditions: intact, vented, following opening of the rotator cuff interval, reconstruction of the ...
MicroRNA-33a regulates cholesterol synthesis and cholesterol efflux-related genes in osteoarthritic chondrocytes
(2015)
Introduction: Several studies have shown that osteoarthritis (OA) is strongly associated with metabolism-related disorders, highlighting OA as the fifth component of the metabolic syndrome (MetS). On the basis of our ...
Protective Effect of Atorvastatin in Cultured Osteoarthritic Chondrocytes
(2010)
The aim of our study was to evaluate the in vitro effect of an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, atorvastatin, on the expression of significant anabolic and catabolic genes in human osteoarthritic chondrocytes and to explore ...
Trabecular metal - Orthopaedic applications of a novel material
(2011)
Unlike conventional porous-coated materials used in orthopaedic surgery, Trabecular Metal™ (TMT) is a novel material. It is made of tantalum with three-dimensional porosity throughout its volume resembling the structure ...
