The 2003 Marshall R. Urist Award Paper - Genetic background of osteonecrosis: Associated with thrombophilic mutations?
(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 ...
Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound for bone healing: An overview
(2006)
Low-intensity ultrasound is a biophysical form of intervention in the fracture-repair process, which through several mechanisms accelerates healing of fresh fractures and enhances callus formation in delayed unions and ...
The growth differentiation factor 5 (GDF5) core promoter polymorphism is not associated with knee osteoarthritis in the Greek population
(2008)
Genetic factors have been shown to play an important role in the etiology of osteoarthritis (OA). A functional single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) +104T/C; rs143383 in the 5' UTR of the GDF5 gene was recently associated ...
An MRI-based semiautomated volumetric quantification of hip osteonecrosis
(2001)
Objective: To objectively and precisely define the spatial distribution of osteonecrosis and to investigate the influence of various factors including etiology. Design: A volumetric method is presented to describe the size ...
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 ...
Triple Nerve Block at the Knee for Foot and Ankle Surgery Performed by the Surgeon: Difficulties and Efficiency
(2009)
Background: Combined nerve blocks at the knee can provide safe anesthesia below the knee avoiding the potential complications of general or spinal anesthesia while reducing the need for opioids in the postoperative period. ...
Multicentre use of a porous tantalum monoblock acetabular component
(2009)
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the minimum five-year prospective results from the multicentre use of a porous tantalum monoblock acetabular component for primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). A multicentre study ...
Distal ulnar implant arthroplasty as a definitive treatment of a recurrent giant-cell tumor
(2007)
Giant-cell tumors of the distal ulna are frequently recurrent and difficult to treat. A Darrach-type resection can lead to functional impairments of the wrist and hand. A case of a 42-year-old man, who underwent a distal ...
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 ...
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 ...
