Hemofilia: ejercicio y deporte
2011
El ejercicio físico y el deporte constituyen uno de los pilares básicos en el tratamiento de la hemofilia. Este trabajo describe un resumen de las características de la hemofilia y, a través de una exhaustiva revisión bibliográfica, se analiza la importancia de la condición física, en relación con la prevención y el tratamiento de las lesiones musculoesqueléticas en el paciente hemofílico. La hemofilia es una enfermedad hematológica hereditaria, con lesiones ortopédicas características. Afecta a individuos varones y presenta un déficit de factores de la coagulación que provoca hemorragias incluso espontáneas (en pacientes graves sin tratamiento). Las lesiones más frecuentes son: hemartrosis…

Is there still an indication for operative treatment of femoral neck fractures with a ceramic hemiprosthesis?
2000
From 1985 to 1995, 417 patients with dislocated medial femoral neck fractures (Garden III–IV) were treated with hemiarthroplasty using a Biolox ceramic head. The average patient age at the time of operation was 81.5 years. A total of 140 survivors was available for follow-up examination with a mean prosthesis longevity of 55.8 months. The Harris hip score recorded a mean of 70.6 points. At the time of follow up, 5 patients had severe hip pain, and in 8 the roentgenographic examination revealed protrusio acetabuli. Five of these 8 patients underwent revision surgery for replacement of the cup, leaving the stem in situ.
Langzeitergebnisse nach Versorgung medialer Schenkelhalsfrakturen mit Keramikkopfendoprothesen
1996
Total hip replacement is often recommended for the treatment of femoral neck fractures in elderly patients. A less invasive approach with shorter operating time is the replacement of the femoral head only, leaving the acetabular cartilage in situ. Hemiarthroplastic hip replacement using a metallic head prosthesis was not successful in the past, because the majority of patients developed protrusio acetabuli after surgery. In the present study hemiarthroplastic hip replacement using an Al2O3-ceramic head was shown to be a useful method for the treatment of femoral neck fractures in elderly patients. From 1985 to 1990 277 patients were treated with hemiarthroplasty. The average age at the time…
The german historical museum of orthopaedic surgery. A museum for science and public
2000
The German historical museum of orthopaedic surgery was founded 1959 in Wurzburg. The main task of this institution is the furtherance of science in medical-history. Since the beginning, 41 years ago, the number of books and exhibits increased continuously. The library of the museum is the biggest public collection in Germany and contains more then 6000 books and publications in orthopaedics. Furthermore the museum includes a big amount of exoprostheses of the upper and lower limb, alloarthroplasties of hip- and knee-joints, traumatologic implants and instruments of orthopaedic surgery. A big number of bone-preparations with pathologic alterations and variations will also be presented. The …

Fraktur des Os capitatum bei einem 11-jährigen Jungen
2010
We report the case of an isolated non-displaced fracture of the capitate in an 11-year-old boy. On the basis of the relevant literature we present a survey of the diagnostic and treatment options. To the best of our knowledge this is the first description of a paediatric capitate fracture in the German-speaking area.
Bedeutung der Kalkdepot-elimination bei Tendinosis calcarea der Schulter
2000
Aim: To evaluate the effect of complete elimination of the calcific deposit on the clinical outcome in patients with a recalcitrant calcifying tendinitis of the shoulder. Patients and methods: 50 patients with a chronic calcifying tendinitis of the shoulder (Type Gartner I or II) underwent a single application of extracorporeal shock waves (3000 impulses, energy flux density 0.60mj/ mm 2 ). After one year 45 patients were evaluated radiologically and clinically. Results: Radiologically a complete absorption of the calcific deposit was observed in 21 patients (47%). In 9 patients there was no radiological change. The radiological success was closely related to the radiomorphology of the depo…
