Reconstruction of a neglected posterior dislocation of the shoulder through a limited posterior deltoid-splitting approach: A case report

Karachalios, T.; Bargiotas, K.; Papachristos, A.; Malizos, K. N. (2005)

Autologous (non-vascularised) fibular grafting with recombinant bone morphogenetic protein-7 for the treatment of femoral head osteonecrosis: Preliminary report

Papanagiotou, M.; Malizos, K. N.; Vlychou, M.; Dailiana, Z. H. (2014)

This preliminary study evaluates a combination of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-7 and non-vascularised autologous fibular grafting (AFG) for the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head. BMP-7/AFG combination was ...

Survivorship of monoblock trabecular metal cups in primary THA: Midterm results

Malizos, K. N.; Bargiotas, K.; Papatheodorou, L.; Hantes, M.; Karachalios, T. (2008)

Monoblock trabecular metal cups are made of a novel porous material intended to enhance ingrowth and improve fixation. We prospectively followed 223 consecutive patients with 245 trabecular metal acetabular cups implanted ...

Diagnostic accuracy of a new clinical test (The Thessaly test) for early detection of meniscal tears

Karachalios, T.; Hantes, M.; Zibis, A. H.; Zachos, V.; Karantanas, A. H.; Malizos, K. N. (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 ...

The socioeconomic impact of musculoskeletal infections

Poultsides, L. A.; Liaropoulos, L. L.; Malizos, K. N. (2010)

Osteonecrosis of the femoral head: Etiology, imaging and treatment

Malizos, K. N.; Karantanas, A. H.; Varitimidis, S. E.; Dailiana, Z. H.; Bargiotas, K.; Maris, T. (2007)

Osteonecrosis of the femoral head is a disabling clinical entity affecting young adults that usually leads to destruction of the hip joint. A high index of suspicion is necessary for the diagnosis due to the insidious onset ...

Differential expression of leptin and leptin's receptor isoform (Ob-Rb) mRNA between advanced and minimally affected osteoarthritic cartilage; effect on cartilage metabolism

Simopoulou, T.; Malizos, K. N.; Iliopoulos, D.; Stefanou, N.; Papatheodorou, L.; Ioannou, M.; Tsezou, A. (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 ...

Genetic background of osteonecrosis: Associated with thrombophilic mutations?

Zalavras, C. G.; Vartholomatos, G.; Dokou, E.; Malizos, K. N. (2004)

Intravascular coagulation is considered a major pathogenetic mechanism for nontraumatic osteonecrosis. The aim of our study was to evaluate the association of thrombophilic factor V G1691A mutation (factor V Leiden) and ...

Large replication study and meta-analyses of DVWA as an osteoarthritis susceptibility locus in European and Asian populations

Meulenbelt, I.; Chapman, K.; Dieguez-Gonzalez, R.; Shi, D.; Tsezou, A.; Dai, J.; Malizos, K. N.; Kloppenburg, M.; Carr, A.; Nakajima, M.; van der Breggen, R.; Lakenberg, N.; Gomez-Reino, J. J.; Jiang, Q.; Ikegawa, S.; Gonzalez, A.; Loughlin, J.; Slagboom, E. P. (2009)

Recently, through a genome wide association study in Japanese knee osteoarthritis (OA) cases, a previously unknown gene, DVWA, was identified. The non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs7639618 was subsequently ...
