De Quervain's tenosynovitis is an inflammatory condition that affects the sheath surrounding tendons, most commonly observed in the hands and wrists. This study investigates the prevalence, risk factors, and treatment outcomes of de Quervain's tenosynovitis among postpartum women, a population particularly vulnerable due to the unique physiological and biomechanical stresses associated with pregnancy and caregiving.
The role of caudal epidurography and epidural steroid injections in FBSS in low-middle-income countries remains unknown. Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS) is a chronic pain condition with a significant impact on quality of life. It affects about 5 to 40% of patients who undergo spinal surgery. This retrospective study evaluates the effect of epidural steroid injection using caudal epidurography on pain (static and dynamic) and on functional improvement, mood, and sleep.
Prospective observational; multicenter randomized open label study; Preliminary results. The aim of the present investigation was to compare the clinical and radiological outcomes in patients who underwent Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF) procedures performed with carbon fiber devices or metal devices.
Background: This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of high molecular weight hyaluronic acid with addition of niacinamide (N-HA) versus standard medium molecular weight HA in patients with joint degenerative and post-traumatic diseases.
Complications of reverse shoulder arthroplasty have been reported widely, with its utilization in different shoulder pathologies including rotator cuff deficiency, post-traumatic sequalae, revision procedures, failed rotator cuff surgeries, and glenohumeral osteoarthritis. The most common reported complications include instability, infection, notching, loosening, nerve injury, intra-operative fractures, and glenoid failure.
Hip fractures are common among the aging population and delay in operative repair increase the risk of morbidity and mortality. This study aims to determine the frequency of operative delay and anaesthetic and non-anaesthetic factors that contribute to this delay.
Anterior shoulder dislocation is one of the most common orthopaedic injuries treated in the emergency department. While associated vascular injuries are rare, they can be a potentially devastating complication, usually seen after highenergy or penetrating trauma. Therefore, a complete neurovascular exam is critical on initial presentation.
Schatzker III Tibial Plateau Fractures (TPF) reduction and stabilization is still a challenging procedure. We present an alternative, percutaneous surgical technique. With an antero-medial transverse incision at the level of the tibial metaphysis, under fluoroscopic control, an osteotome is advanced from medial to lateral, under the depressed fragments, reducing the articular surface of the lateral TP anatomically, without create a significant void and preserving the lateral wall.
Traditional treatment of fractures is common practice in underdeveloped countries. The objective was to report our service’s experience in managing complications related to the traditional treatment of limb fractures.
Post-Traumatic Osteoarthritis (PTOA) continues to impose a big challenge on orthopedic surgery worldwide. Biological interventions, such as injections with growth factors and stem cells, combined with improving Extracellular Matrix (ECM), intend to regenerate damaged tissues or minimize further degeneration. The ECM provides structural support and is a fundamental component of stem cell niches.
With the rising food demands and a proportionately growing population, the food business has developed various inventions, alterations, and ways to produce meat in vitro. This innovation has the potential to change the meat industry, with significant effects on the environment, human health, and animal welfare. As a result, animal cells, rather than actual meat from slaughtered animals, are employed to create cell-based meat, with cell division and proliferation taking place in the culture medium.
Spinal disorders are a typical phenomenon in the human masses. The specific cause of these issues is unknown, and there are few studies on the causes of spinal abnormalities induced by a person’s physical characteristics. The goal of this study is to discover a link between various spine parameters and the physical attributes of people. This study looked at total 10 spine parameters and several physical attributes of fifty-five individuals obtained with Statico 3D, and footprints were obtained through pedobarography...
Subtalar dislocations are rare lesions and represent less than 1% of all dislocations. The lateral variety is rare and accounts for only 17% of all subtalar dislocations. This observation concerned a 60-year-old man with hearing loss who, following a work accident, presented with a purely lateral open subtalar dislocation. He underwent surgical treatment by trimming, reduction and double talocalcaneal and talonavicular pinning...
Synovium is an uncommon site for primary tumors and most of them are benign. Lipoma Arborescens (LA) is one of them. It is a relatively unusual, benign, intra-articular lesion, which more often appears in the knee [1]. Other sites such as the shoulder, the elbow, the wrist, the hip, and the ankle may also be affected Bilateral involvement of the knees has also been described [2].
We report a case of a 57 year old male who presented with pain and swelling of knee, who was diagnosed with lipoma arborescens and underwent synovectomy and got releaved of symptoms...
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between different buccolingual molar inclination and cortical bone thickness of the first mandibular molar.
Materials and methods: The sample consisted of seventy-five cone-beam computed tomography. The inclination of the mandibular first molar, mandibular arch length, and width and the buccal and lingual bone thickness of the mandibular first molar in three different levels (crest, midroot, and apex) were measured by OnDemand3D application...
Spine is the commonest site of skeletal involvement in tuberculosis and constitutes more than 50% of all forms of osteo-articular tuberculosis. MRI is the most valuable non-invasive diagnostic and prognostic tool in the patients with spinal tuberculosis to promote early detection of disease and assess the response of treatment and change in regime of A.T.T. accordingly.
Adhesive capsulitis is a recognised complication of shoulder surgery, reported in 5.8 - 9.5% of patients after simple arthroscopic procedures. Studies have shown an improvement in symptoms following manipulation-under-anaesthetic and injection for primary adhesive capsulitis amongst diabetic patients.
The aim of this study was to investigate whether there is a relationship between Myofascial Pain Syndrome (MPS) and degenerative changes in the Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) in muscle fibers in the upper part of trapezius muscle based on radiological findings.
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic, relapsing inflammatory and autoimmune multisystem illness that affects the joints and characterized by inflammation of the synovial membrane, pain and restricted joint movement. Bee venom has traditionally been used in oriental medicine to relieve pain and to treat Rheumatoid arthritis.
This case discusses a fit young man diagnosed with cancer of unknown primary. In the context of disease with a poor prognosis, his case highlights the challenges of weighing up the pros and cons of active and aggressive treatment options, including prophylactic orthopaedic surgery for long bones at high risk of pathological fracture, to maintain function and quality of life.
Background: High Tibial osteotomy is a procedure with the goal of repositioning the mechanical axis of a varus malaligned knee into a slightly valgus one, in order to minimize joint tenderness, decrease the rate of cartilage degeneration and forestall or postpone joint replacement.
Aneurysmal Bone Cyst (ABC) is a benign expansile lesions that may occur in any bone in the body, often affecting individuals during their second decade of life. In the modern English language literature, aneurysmal bone cyst occurring at the level of fibular malleolus is rare. Here, we report an additional such case arising from the fibular malleolus of a 16-year-old female patient successfully treated with en-bloc excision and ankle joint stabilization with tibiotalar joint arthrodesis by two cancellous screws and lateral ligament reconstruction.
When a mammal’s joint is healthy, the nanostructure of phospholipid bilayers is corrugated, and some phospholipids can be observed in the synovial fluid. During illness, like osteoarthritis, β2-Glycoprotein I changes conformation from closed to open hockey-stick-like, resulting in the degeneration of phospholipid bilayers and an increase in phospholipid levels in the synovial fluid.
The lamellar-repulsive mechanisms for aqueous boundary lubrication supported by phospholipid bilayers negatively charged and 80% hydrated surfaces. It is shown that cartilage being a smart material has a hydrophilic surface being intact and hydrophobic when the surface is the air-dry condition. We discuss a controversy associated with the hydrophobic mechanism of boundary lubrication introduced by Hills in 1984.
Failure of knee replacement to invariably resolve pain, normalize function and achieve full patient satisfaction raises questions as to the efficacy and applicability of that surgical approach. It also raises the question–is the bone and cartilage damage (arthritis) actually the source of the patient's pain and disability? The role of medial-lateral joint stability or lack thereof bears additional consideration.
Objective: To establish whether spinal cord IOM with specific regard to transcranial electrical Motor Evoked Potentials (MEPs) and absent use of associated neuromuscular blocking agents led to increased peri-operative blood loss. ...
In the 20th century, microsurgery achieved many miracles in the history of surgery. With the development of microsurgery instruments and techniques, the limitations steadily decreased from the time when Dr. Zhong-Wei Chen successfully performed the first replantation of an amputated right forearm in 1963 until super microsurgery today. The developmental history of microsurgery can be divided into 5 parts in chronological order based on significant events in each decade: the feasibly of vascular anastomosis before the 1960s; the successful replantation ...
