Tuberculous pyomyositis: a re-emerging entity of many faces
(2014)
Tuberculosis (TB) has become a global concern due to its increasing incidence, particularly in immunocompromised patients, closely following the migratory patterns of populations. TB pyomyositis is a rare extrapulmonary ...
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. ...
Expression profile of osteoprotegerin, RANK and RANKL genes in the femoral head of patients with avascular necrosis
(2014)
Introduction: Femoral head avascular necrosis (AVN) is a recalcitrant disease of the hip that leads to joint destruction. Osteoprotegerin (OPG), Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor kappa-B (RANK) and RANK ligand (RANKL) ...
Tourniquet Use Does Not Affect Rehabilitation, Return to Activities, and Muscle Damage After Arthroscopic Meniscectomy: A Prospective Randomized Clinical Study
(2012)
Purpose: The purpose of this prospective randomized trial was to examine the effect of tourniquet use on rehabilitation rate, return to work and sport activities, and muscle damage after arthroscopic meniscectomy. Methods: ...

Smoking affects mRNA expression of bone morphogenetic proteins in human periosteum
(2012)
Periosteum is important for bone homoeostasis through the release of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) and their effect on osteoprogenitor cells. Smoking has an adverse effect on fracture healing and bone regeneration. ...
Vascularized Bone Grafting and Distal Radius Osteotomy for Scaphoid Nonunion Advanced Collapse
(2014)
Purpose To determine the outcome of an alternative treatment for wrists with stages I to III scaphoid nonunion advanced collapse using a closing-wedge osteotomy of the distal radius and a vascularized bone graft for scaphoid ...
Surgical treatment of hip fractures: factors influencing mortality
(2013)
Background: Data for osteoporotic hip fractures in Greece is limited and little is known upon the meaning of family support during the postoperative/rehabilitation period. Objective: To identify the factors influencing the ...
A comparison of early versus delayed repair of traumatic rotator cuff tears
(2011)
Purpose The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) results between early and delayed operative treatment in patients with traumatic rotator cuff tears (RCT). Methods Thirty-five ...
