Dispositif virtuel d'aide à la chirurgie de l'épaule
2008
The goal of this research is to design a virtual reality prototype to assit an orthopedic surgeon during the replacement of the glenohumeral joint by prosthesis. This system aims to optimize the movements of prosthesized shoulder joint from a choice of various scenarios of pose. These works encompasses several topics such as : orthopedic surgery, image analysis, computer graphics and virtual reality. The chosen process includes a phase of modelling of the bony part of the articulation by simple geometric forms, this model is parameterized from radios or CT scans ; a phase of simulation of the movements of healthy glenohumeral joint ; nally the phase of simulation of cutting and drilling wit…
Conditioned Pain Modulation Is Not Impaired in Individuals with Frozen Shoulder: A Case-Control Study
2021
Frozen shoulder (FS) is a poorly understood condition resulting in substantial shoulder pain and mobility deficits. The mechanisms behind FS are not yet fully understood, but, similar to other persistent pain states, central pain mechanisms may contribute to ongoing symptoms in this population. The objective of this research was to investigate conditioned pain modulation (CPM) in people with FS compared with pain-free individuals. A total of 64 individuals with FS and 64 healthy volunteers participated in this cross-sectional study. CPM was assessed by using the pressure pain threshold (PPT) and an occlusion cuff (tourniquet test) as the test and conditioning stimulus, respectively. The abs…
3D-CT von Frakturen: Vergleich von Volumen- und Oberflächen-Rekonstruktionen
1998
Purpose The comparison of volume rendering (VR) and surface rendering (SSD) for demonstrating fractures from spiral-CT data. Materials and methods Standardized VR and SSD projections were produced from 50 spiral CT scans of 50 consecutive patients with fractures. Appropriate multiplanar reformattings (MPR) were used as the standard. Results SSD provided sufficient information in 31/50 cases. Results of VR were not significantly different (33/50). VR was superior in demonstrating 6/7 craniofacial fractures and 3/3 calcaneal fractures. SSD was superior for visualizing 2/3 shoulder fractures and 2/2 elbow fractures. Conclusion VR is a flexible technique for the depiction of fractures and the a…
Imaging of long head biceps tendon. A multimodality pictorial essay
2019
The aim of this article is to provide an imaging review of normal anatomy, most common anatomical variants and pathologies of the long head of the biceps tendon (LHB) encountered during the daily practice. (www.actabiomedica.it).
Quality analysis of available information for patients with different pathologies on social media video platforms
2023
Internet ha sufrido una expansión incomparable hasta convertirse en el medio más importante de difusión de información en el mundo (Kocyigit et al., 2019). Buscar información sobre salud en Internet se ha convertido en algo progresivamente común hasta el punto de que los usuarios suelen utilizar Internet como fuente primaria de información sobre temas relacionados con la salud(Baker et al., 2021; Kocyigit et al., 2019; Sui et al., 2022). Según Amante et al. (2015), casi el cincuenta por ciento de los adultos en los Estados Unidos (EE.UU.) obtienen información relacionada con la salud a través de Internet(Amante et al., 2015). Como portal web popular para ver y compartir vídeos, YouTube es u…
Physical fitness characteristics and neck and shoulder pain incidence in school‐aged children—A 2‐year follow‐up
2022
Background and Aims Neck and shoulder pain (NSP) is common in school age, but preventative factors have not been identified. The purpose was to study whether a fitness test could be used to predict the incidence of NSP and determine whether good physical fitness characters would be associated with lower NSP incidence in school-aged children at 2-year follow-up. Methods After the invitation to nine schools, 970 children (10–15 years old) agreed to participate. Flexibility, fundamental movement skills, musculoskeletal fitness, and cardiorespiratory fitness measurements included in Finnish Schools on the Move! monitoring system for physical functional capacity were measured at baseline in 2013…
Er det sammenheng mellom oppvarmet CO2 gass, postoperative smerter og hypotermi ved laparaskopiske inngrep? : en kvantitativ undersøkelse
2016
Masteroppgave i spesialsykepleie – Universitetet i Agder 2016 Background: A common complication to laparoscopic procedures is postoperative shoulder pain. As a result of a surgical procedure, the patient is also exposed to hypothermia. There are various theories of the causes of postoperative shoulder pain and hypothermia. One of them suggest that the internal environment in the abdomen changes by insufflation of standard CO2 gas, and that this may result in peritoneal changes. Previous studies show that heated CO2 gas can reduce postoperative pain and hypothermia by laparoscopic surgery. Surgical and intensive patient is in a vulnerable situation, and the reflection on the operation and in…
Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic Shoulder and Elbow score kyselylomakkeen adaptaatio ja validointi Suomeen
2021
Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic (KJOC) Shoulder and Elbow score -kyselylomake on Yhdysvalloissa kehitetty yli olan urheilijoiden olka- ja kyynärpään itsearvioidun toimintakyvyn työväline. Yli olan urheilulla tarkoitetaan lajeja, joissa yläraajaan kohdistuu toistuvaa kuormitusta hartiatasossa tai sen yläpuolella. Yläraajan vammat ovat kyseisissä lajeissa yleisiä ja luotettavat terveyden seurannan mittarit ovat merkittävä osa urheilijoiden hyvinvoinnin arviointia. KJOC-kysely sisältää esitieto-osion sekä kymmenen yläraajan toiminta- ja suorituskykyä tiedustelevaa kysymystä. Alkuperäinen englanninkielinen KJOC-kysely on osoittautunut päteväksi, toistettavaksi ja muutosherkäksi mittariksi, mutta…
Association of Arthroscopically-Assisted Latissimus Dorsi Tendon Transfer with Implantation of a Subacromial Balloon Spacer for Patients with Irrepar…
2022
Purpose. Massive irreparable posterosuperior rotator cuff tears in an active population, resulting in a pseudo-paralytic shoulder, pose a challenge for the orthopaedic surgeon. In an effort to avoid or delay arthroplasty surgery, other surgical strategies such as arthroscopically-assisted latissimus dorsi transfer (aLDT) or the implantation of a subacromial spacer (SAS) can be considered. The aim of the present study is to associate, for the first time, these two surgical procedures in order to demonstrate the surgical feasibility and the effectiveness of their synergistic biomechanical effect. Methods. The study group consisted of patients who underwent aLDT for a massive irreparable poste…
Acromion clavicular joint reconstruction with LArS ligament in acute dislocation
2019
Background: The acromion clavicular joint dislocations are common injuries of the shoulder. The severity is dependent upon the degree of ligamentous injury. Surgical treatment is typically performed in higher grade acromioclavicular separation with several static and dynamic operative procedures with or without primary ligament replacement. Methods: 47 patients with acute Rockwood type III, IV, and V injuries were treated surgically with LARS reconstruction. The success of technique was evaluated by radiographic outcomes for each patient at every follow-up visit (one,three, 12 months), while to assess pain reduction and clinical evaluation Visual Analogue scale score (VAS) and Constant-Murl…
