Die Kleinfragment-Doppelplattenosteosynthese bei C1- bis C3-Frakturen des Pilon tibiale
2008
Intra-articular fractures of the tibial pilon always have been a challenge for the surgeon and his operative technique. With conservative or operative management, we have to take care of destroyed articular surfaces and traumatised soft tissues. Therefore, tibial pilon fractures are known in the literature as complicated lesions with a high rate of complications. Between 1993 and 2001 twenty-one patients who were between 18 and 65 years old and suffered a monotrauma of the tibial pilon of the type C1 to C3 of the AO classification, were treated with a staged reconstruction. Stabilisation was done by small-fragment double plate osteosynthesis. In this retrospective study, we could review 17 …
Spätsynovektomie des Ellenbogens und Resektion des Radiusköpfchens bei chronischer Polyarthritis
2008
Between 1974 and 1984 16 patients with rheumatoid arthritis, who had elbow synovectomy and excision of the radial head, were revised with an average follow-up of 5 years after operation. Resection of the radial head was performed on 16 elbows, in 3 elbows the ulnar nerve was transposed. The indication for the operation were pain, swelling, warmth and radiological destruction. The parameters used, to assess efficacy of the operation were range of motion, local finding and patient satisfaction. Synovectomy results were good especially in respect of relief of pain and range of motion. The good results justify elbow synovectomy even in the late stages of disease.
Operator-Related Errors and Pitfalls in Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry: How to Recognize and Avoid Them.
2020
Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is the most common modality for quantitative measurements of bone mineral density. Nevertheless, errors related to this exam are still very common, and may significantly impact on the final diagnosis and therapy. Operator-related errors may occur during each DXA step and can be related to wrong patient positioning, error in the acquisition process or in the scan analysis. The aim of this review is to provide a practical guide on how to recognize such errors in spine and hip DXA scan and how to avoid them, also presenting some of the most common artifacts encountered in clinical practice.
Funktionsangiographie der kniegelenknahen Arterien: Konsequenzen für die Stentimplantation?
1990
Angiographic studies of the arteries adjoining the knee in 25 patients show extensive kinking and stenoses of the popliteal artery and less frequently of the distal femoral artery during flexion of the knee joint. This is due to the loss of elasticity with increasing age forcing the vessel into a tortuous course during shortening of the pathway of the popliteal artery with knee flexion. Independent of the principle of the different stents available they probably will not increase the contractility of the stented vessel in the longitudinal axis. It is to expect that after implantation of stents into the popliteal artery kinking will occur predominantly in the original segments of the vessel …
Upper Limb Interventions.
2019
Ultrasound has been reported to be a quick, cheap, and effective imaging modality to guide the interventional procedures in the musculoskeletal system. The use of ultrasound results in increased accuracy of needle placement associated with a reduction of complications. In the upper limb, ultrasound-guided procedures are applied to joints and soft tissues around the shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand. This article reviews the clinical and technical aspects of the most common procedures performed in this anatomic area.
Comparison of Postoperative Coronal Leg Alignment in Customized Individually Made and Conventional Total Knee Arthroplasty
2021
Neutral coronal leg alignment is known to be important for postoperative outcome in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Customized individually made implants (CIM) instrumented with patient-specific cutting guides are an innovation aiming to increase the precision and reliability of implant positioning and reconstruction of leg alignment. We aimed to compare reconstruction of the hip–knee–ankle angle (HKA) of the novel CIM system iTotal™ CR G2 (ConforMIS Inc.) to a matched cohort of the off-the-shelf (OTS) knee replacement system Vanguard™ CR (Zimmer Biomet). Retrospective analysis of postoperative coronal full-leg weight-bearing radiographs of 562 TKA (283 CIM TKA, 279 OTS TKA) was conducted. V…
Women Scientists Who Made Nuclear Astrophysics
2019
Female role models reduce the impact on women of stereotype threat, i.e. of being at risk of conforming to a negative stereotype about one’s social, gender, or racial group (Fine in Delusion of Gender. W.W. Norton & Co. NY, p. 36, 2010 [1]; Steele and Aronson in J Pers Soc Psychol 69:797–811, 1995 [2]). This can lead women scientists to underperform or to leave their scientific career because of negative stereotypes such as, not being as talented or as interested in science as men. Sadly, history rarely provides role models for women scientists; instead, it often renders these women invisible (CafeBabel Homepage [3]). In response to this situation, we present a selection of twelve outst…
Suhteissa mediaan
2009
Miten vihaa puretaan internetin chat-huoneissa? Kuka fanittaa koulumurhaajaa? Miten ihmisiä voitaisiin tukea mediasuhteissaan? Entä miten media voi toimia yhteiskunnallisen osallistumisen resurssina? Sirkku Kotilaisen toimittama artikkelikokoelma Suhteissa mediaan vastaa yllä oleviin kysymyksiin ja pyrkii herättämään uusia kysymyksiä. Artikkeleissa tehdään kurkistuksia mediasuhteisiin, erityisesti käyttäjien ja kuluttajien vuorovaikutukseen median kanssa. Yleisöyden lisäksi esillä on myös median tuotannon ja tekijöiden näkökulmia. Erilaiset viestimet tarjolla olevine sisältöineen ovat tulleet osaksi arkeamme. Varsinkin lisääntynyt internetin käyttö on pakottanut meidät määrittämään toimijas…
THE APPLICATION OF NEEDLE RADIOFREQUENCY FOR THE REDUCTION OF ACNE SCARS: A CASE STUDY.
2019
Background: Acne fulminans can leaveunsightly scars that can have a detrimental effect on a person’s ability to function in society, resulting in a deterioration in the overall quality of life of these patients. Scientific research shows that problems with self-esteemmay lower a person’s quality of life, making them reluctant to interact with other people.This, in turn, may lead to depression and, in extreme cases, to suicide. For people who suffer from acne fulminans, this is an extremely serious problem.This is compounded by the fact that even if they spend much of their life fighting acne, ultimately successfully, they still may be left with the visual effects of the disease, like scars.…
Šķidra metāla plūsmas un kristalizācijas izpēte ar neitronu radiogrāfiju
2019
Darbā pētīta orientētā kristalizācija, izmantojot neinvazīvu attēlveidošanas tehniku - neitronu radiogrāfiju. Rezultāti pirmo reizi atklāj daļiņu iesalšanas procesu metāla sacietēšanas laikā makro izmērā, ir parādīts, ka daļiņu iesalšana tilpumā notiek, kad cietā un šķidrā fāze veido pusšķidru maisījumu. Eksperimenti veikti ar alvu (Sn) taisnstūrveida traukā, kas tiek elektromagnētiski maisīta un orientēti kristalizēta. Informācija par recirkulējošo plūsmu ievākta, izsekojot 355 - 500 µm gadolīnija (Gd) daļiņas, kas vizualizē plūsmas lauku jebkurā laika momentā. Rezultāti liecina, ka metalurģiskās problēmas, piem., cieta materiāla iemaisīšanu kausējumā vai dielektrisku daļiņu vienmērīgā dis…
