Can hip resurfacing be safely revised with short-stem total hip arthroplasty? A case series of six patients.
2021
Abstract Background The usage of short stems in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) has constantly gained popularity over the last decade, however, to date, short stems are not eligible to be used as revision implants. The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the outcome of revision surgery of failed hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA) using short-stem THA. Methods In a single center, retrospective analysis, 6 consecutive patients who were treated with a calcar-guided short stem after failure of HRA were evaluated. The mean follow-up was 3.25 years (SD 0.45). Patient reported outcome measurements (PROMs) were recorded using the Harris hip score (HHS) and The Western Ontario and…
Arthrodesis of the proximal interphalangeal joint of the 4th and 5th finger using an interlocking screw device to treat severe recurrence of Dupuytre…
2018
Abstract Objective To assess the radiological and functional outcome of arthrodesis of the 4th and 5th finger using the APEX™ (Extremity Medical, Parsippany, NJ) intermedullary interlocking screw system in patients with severe recurrence of Dupuytren's disease. Materials and method The DASH questionnaire and the VAS scale were used to assess the clinical outcomes. The angle of arthrodesis, fusion time and implant fixation were evaluated on X-rays. The patients were monitored for complications during surgery and the follow-up period. Results The sample comprised 6 patients. Mean follow up was 19.6 months. All of the patients presented clinical and radiological evidence of fusion at 8 weeks, …
Bilateral ruptures of the extensor mechanism of the knee: A systematic review
2017
Abstract Introduction We conduct a systematic and qualitative review of the current literature to evaluate studies that described bilateral ruptures of the extensor mechanism of the knee. Methods A comprehensive literature search was performed to evaluate all studies included in the literature until September 2016. Results Fourteen studies with a total of 44 patients met the inclusion criteria. There were 14 patients with CRF (61%), 6 patients were affected by diabetes mellitus (14%) while other 6 patients were obese patients (14%). Conclusion CRF represents the most frequent comorbidity in patients with bilateral quadriceps/patellar tendon ruptures.
Epidemiological study on supracondylar fractures of distal humerus in pediatric patients
2019
Abstract Objective The purpose of this work is to study the epidemiology of patients with distal humerus supracondylar fractures in pediatric age treated in a tertiary hospital. Method A descriptive study was conducted on the epidemiological characteristics of distal humerus supracondylar fractures in pediatric patients treated in a tertiary hospital from January 1, 2014 to June 30, 2018. The following variables were analyzed: age, side of lesion, sex, type of Gartland’s classification, date of injury, mechanism, place and moment of trauma, therapeutic attitude, complications and associated fractures. Results A total of 140 patients were included in the study, with an average age of 5 years…
Electromagnetic distal targeting system does not reduce the overall operative time of the intramedullary nailing for humeral shaft fractures
2018
Abstract Introduction We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of the use of the electromagnetic distal targeting system in treating humeral shaft fracture. Methods Patients were divided in: Group 1) patients that received a distal locking screw placement following the free-hand technique; Group 2) patients in which the distal locking screw was performed using the SURESHOT device. Results No differences were noted comparing Group 1 (freehand) [71,9 range 40–135 min] to Group 2 (SURESHOT)[70, range 25–125 min]. Conclusion The use of the EM distal targeting system doesn't reduce the overall operative time of the humeral shaft fracture fixation using IMN.
Arthroscopic Reinsertion of Acute Injuries of the Scapholunate Ligament Technique and Results
2020
Abstract Objective To describe a technique for treating acute injuries of the scapholunate ligament (SLL) by performing an arthroscopic reinsertion of the SLL and dorsal capsulodesis and to present the results obtained. Methods The study deals with an analytical, prospective clinical study that included 19 consecutive patients with acute injury of the SLL. The range of joint motion, grip strength, pain according to the visual analog scale, functional outcomes according to the Mayo Wrist Score (MWS), and the QuickDASH Score were studied preoperatively and 6 and 12 months postoperatively. The complications and necessary reinterventions were recorded. Results Nineteen patients with acute injur…
Return to Sports and Recreational Activity After Single-Stage Bilateral Short-Stem Total Hip Arthroplasty: 5-Year Results of a Prospective Observatio…
2019
Background:Single-stage bilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA) is an alternative to staged unilateral THA in patients suffering from bilateral hip arthritis; however, there is still broad concern regarding the safety and reliability of this procedure. Short-stem THA has emerged in recent years. To date, no data are available on sports and recreational activity levels after single-stage bilateral short-stem THA in the general patient population.Hypothesis:Patients who have undergone single-stage bilateral short-stem THA return to a satisfying level of sports and recreational activity at midterm follow-up.Study Design:Case series; Level of evidence, 4.Methods:A total of 54 consecutive patient…
Leisure-time physical activity and artery lumen diameters: A monozygotic co-twin control study
2010
Exercise is thought to increase the diameter of the conduit arteries supplying the muscles involved. We studied the effects of a physically active vs inactive lifestyle on artery diameters in monozygotic (MZ) twin pairs discordant over 30 years for leisure-time physical activity habits. In a population-based co-twin control study design, six middle-aged (50-65 years) same-sex MZ twin pairs with long-term discordance for physical activity were comprehensively identified from the Finnish Twin Cohort (TWINACTIVE study). Discordance was initially defined in 1975 and the same co-twin remained significantly more active during the 32-year follow-up. The main outcomes were arterial lumen diameters …
Actividad física, barreras y beneficios en personas con ictus crónico: estudio transversal de encuesta
2019
Resumen Introduccion La actividad fisica (AF) es fundamental para la salud. Las secuelas producidas tras un ictus y otras barreras pueden interferir en la realizacion de ejercicio fisico (EF). Consecuentemente, podria variar la percepcion de sus beneficios. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar el nivel de AF en funcion de la capacidad de deambulacion, y el grado de incapacidad que presentan los individuos con dichos caracteres, asi como las barreras y los beneficios en la practica de EF percibidos por estos. Material y metodos Se realizo un estudio transversal de encuesta en una muestra de personas con secuelas cronicas tras ictus. Se elaboro una encuesta que conto con un diario de ac…
Evidencia de la estimulación eléctrica neuromuscular distal en la recuperación del paciente tras ictus: una revisión sistemática

Resumen Objetivo La estimulacion electrica neuromuscular (EENM) es una herramienta propuesta en la recuperacion del miembro superior tras ictus, pero se necesitan datos mas solidos sobre su aplicacion. Por tanto, nos planteamos valorar su efectividad, conocer los protocolos y las caracteristicas muestrales. Estrategia de busqueda Estudios publicados entre 1998 y 2013, en MEDLINE, PubMed, PEDro y CINAHL. Seleccion de estudios: se seleccionaron 35 ensayos clinicos aleatorizados, donde se aplico EENM distal tras ictus. Se evaluo su calidad metodologica mediante la escala PEDro. Sintesis de resultados Se analizaron las muestras y los protocolos de estimulacion, se valoro su efectividad frente a…
