Guidance and Guideline-recommendations for the treatment of femoral neck fractures Romanian Society of Orthopaedics and Traumatology- SOROT 2018
2018
Abstract Two types of femoral neck fractures are nowadays identified: those resulting from low energy trauma, usually by direct by falling on the hip, in patients with affected bone stock (the so-called “fragility fractures”) and those produced by high energy trauma, even in younger people, with normal bone stock. These recommendations are addressed to the first category. for which impaired mineral bone density (MBD), osteopenia, and osteoporosis represent major enabling factors. These recommendations refer to classification-based local and general treatment of femoral neck fractures (excluding the basilar neck ones). The presumptive and definitive diagnoses include the precise description …

The challenges of monoaxial bone transport in orthopedics and traumatology
2017
Background. Bone defects represent the main challenging problem for the orthopedic surgeon and, consequently, they increase the duration of hospitalization, risk of complications and health expenditures. The aim of our observational, descriptive and retrospective study is to evaluate the outcomes of patients treated with a monolateral external fixator for bone defects greater than 3 cm. Material and methods. Between January 2003 and January 2013, 21 patients were treated at our center by bone transfer with a monolateral external fixator. The main etiologies were trauma in 17 cases (80.9%) and tumors in 4 cases (19.1%). Mean follow-up was 5 years for non-union and 3 years for tumors. Our cl…
Five times sit-to-stand test in subjects with total knee replacement: Reliability and relationship with functional mobility tests
2017
The objective was to determine the inter-observer and test/retest reliability of the "Five-repetition sit-to-stand" (5STS) test in patients with total knee replacement (TKR). To explore correlation between 5STS and two mobility tests. A reliability study was conducted among 24 (mean age 72.13, S.D. 10.67; 50% were women) outpatients with TKR. They were recruited from a traumatology unit of a public hospital via convenience sampling. A physiotherapist and trauma physician assessed each patient at the same time. The same physiotherapist realized a 5STS second measurement 45-60min after the first one. Reliability was assessed with intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) and Bland-Altman plo…
ESRA19-0543 Analgesic effects of dexamethasone when given perineurally or intravenously in the upper arm bone fracture and shoulder joint surgery
2019
Background and aims Shoulder surgery is associated with severe pain. Pain delays rehabilitation and lowers quality of life. Finding adjuvants to the LA to improve analgesia and facilitate mobilization has been the focus of researchers recently. The aim of this work was to investigate which administration methods—dexamethasone perineural or intravenously—prevents pain more effectively. Methods Prospective, randomized study conducted at Hospital of Traumatology and Orthopaedics after ethics committee approval. Study involved 75 patients with upper limb fracture or shoulder joint surgery in RA and GA. Group I: Bupivacaine 0.25% 70 mg + Dexamethasone 8 mg perineurally Group II: Bupivacaine 0.25…
Responsability in management of the early stages in clinical evaluation of oral-facial traumatic events
2019
Obiettivi Scopo del presente lavoro è esaminare gli eventi traumatici oro-facciali e i loro effetti e individuare linee e schemi comportamentali e un linguaggio clinico e medico-legale appropriato che aiutino a identificare con immediatezza l’evento traumatico e i suoi postumi, e una corretta gestione dello stesso, in modo consono alle esigenze assicurative e/o giudiziarie, oltre che strettamente cliniche. Si vuole, inoltre, sottolineare l’importanza clinica e medico-legale della prima visita. Materiali e metodi I diversi aspetti dell’argomento sono esaminati sia da un punto di vista clinico che medico legale. Attraverso l’analisi delle diverse tipologie di trauma e degli schemi procedurali…
Sensitive nerve function measurement in facial trauma : an observational study
2020
Background Facial trauma is responsible for various types of health damage and may be functional or aesthetic. Depending on the degree of energy released in this type of trauma, sometimes an irreversibility degree is obtained. This study aimed to perform an objective evaluation of traumatic peripheral nerve injuries resulting from mandibular fractures and midface, using silicon monofilaments. Material and Methods This was an observational, cross-sectional study. All patients with maxillofacial fractures, who were hospitalized by the department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of Instituto Dr. José Frota Hospital, were randomly recruited and screened for inclusion in the present study. Sixt…
UC-USP collaborative exercise on photobiomodulation therapy in neurological orofacial disturbances.
2020
Background Neurosensory peripheral disorders are one of the most common risks associated with iatrogenic and/or post-traumatic injuries. It is often related to disability. Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) is a nonsurgical and safe procedure which can accelerate and improve the regeneration of injured biological tissue. This study aims to analyze the impact of PBMT, in the quality of life and impairment of individuals with orofacial neurological peripheral disturbance. Material and methods A retrospective analysis in the database of the dental traumatology clinic of the Hospital Centre of the University of Coimbra/Faculty of Medicine of the University of Coimbra was performed.5 out of 50 in…
Orthopedic versus surgical treatment of Gartland type II supracondylar humerus fracture in children.
2013
The choice of orthopedic or surgical treatment for Gartland type II supracondylar humeral fractures remains controversial. The aim of this study was to retrospectively compare the outcomes in orthopedic and surgical treatment in type II supracondylar humeral fractures in children treated in the Orthopedic and Traumatology Children Unit of our tertiary hospital over the period between 2007 and 2010. This study suggests that orthopedic treatment is a valid option for the treatment of this type of fractures, with radiological and functional results as good as those obtained with surgical treatment, avoiding surgical complications and decreasing the hospital stay.
