Filter by:Thirty-two participants with ACL rupture were included in the study. All participants were divided in two groups - control and experimental. In the experimental group (n=16) participants received 4 weeks standardized physiotherapy and Kinesio tape, in the control group - standardized physiotherapy. Experimental measurements: Anthropometric measurements, pain intensity, static and dynamic balance, proprioception, knee flexion and extension muscle torque, level of activity
Objective To investigate the mid-term clinical effect of bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) graft double-bundle reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) of the knee joint under arthroscope.
The influence of modifiable psychosocial and lifestyle factors and the role of central pain processing (CPP) on outcome after rotator cuff repair (RCR) is not well enough established to formulate holistic prognosis. Modern pain neuroscience emphasises to explain musculoskeletal shoulder pain biopsychosocially, which seems short when looking at the yearly RCR increase. This study will explore modifiable psychosocial and lifestyle factors and CPP as potential predictors for outcome after RCR.
This is a prospective randomized controlled study carried out between May 2016 and December 2020. It included 98 patients presented with acute rupture of Achilles tendon The patients were randomly distributed by closed envelop technique (49 in each group). Group A included those managed with the assistant of an intra-operative ultrasound. Group B included those done without ultrasound assistant
Ambispective, multi-surgeon, single site, consecutive case series to determine the safety, performance, and benefits of the Grappler(R) Interference Screw.
This study is to evaluate functional outcomes of a new, intraoperative lateral positioning of the anchors on the tuber ischiadicum, in comparison to regular anatomical anchoring direct on top of the tuber ischiadicumafter hamstring muscle repair. This study is to quantify at least 2 years postoperative functional, biomechanical and clinical outcomes including side-to-side differences in muscle strength, unipedal balance, gait, jumping and squatting function, muscle activity, in patients treated by hamstring muscle repair.
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemics has put an overwhelming pressure on the healthcare systems of many European countries. Such a situation has potentially led to delayed and impaired access to appropriate treatment for patients affected by other severe, non-COVID-19-related conditions, including cardiovascular diseases. This resulted in a reported lower admission, but higher mortality rate for AMI patients. Such a situation might be explained by many factors, including unavailability of early reperfusion therapy and late hospital presentation of AMI patients due to a general anxiety related to the COVID-19 contagious risk of the hospital environment. As a matter of fact, during this year of pandemics, several case reports suggested a new, significant surge of post-AMI mechanical complications, sometimes describing patients admitted in too severe conditions to consider surgical repair a viable option, and therefore inevitably undergone an unfavorable outcome. Therefore, we decided to involve the large network of European centers already participating to the "Caution Study 1", in order to study the impact of COVID-19 pandemics on the outcomes, incidence and treatments of post-AMI mechanical complications.
The aim of the study is to assess the efficacy of 17-hydroxyprogesterone caproate (17P) therapy on the latency period in pregnant women with Preterm premature rupture of membranes.
Acute appendicitis is one of the most frequent reasons of emergency laparotomy in adults. Symptoms of acute appendicitis overlap with other clinical conditions and might present as a challenge, especially in the early phases. Despite the advances and widespread use of imaging modalities, still negative laparotomies are performed with the initial diagnosis of acute appendicitis. Several scoring systems are developed by using various clinical and laboratory parameters in order to improve the diagnostic accuracy and prevent unnecessary laparotomies.
Rationale There is ongoing controversy over the optimal treatment and rehabilitation strategy of an acute Achilles tendon rupture (ATR). The highest general complication rate is reported in patients treated with percutaneous repair and early mobilization. Objectives The purpose of the study is to compare the results of two ways of postoperative regimen after treatment with the modified and biomechanically significantly stronger percutaneous repair under local anesthesia. Methods & Population All the consecutive patients with an acute complete Achilles tendon rupture who will agree to take part in a study will be randomized after a modified percutaneous repair under local anesthesia into functional group (FG), using a modified brace and immobilization group (IG), wearing a rigid plaster, in both groups for the period of 6 weeks. After that they will follow the same (standardized) rehabilitation protocol. Major and minor complication rate, diameter of the healed tendon, active and passive ankle range of motion (using neutral zero method), standing heel-rise test (with 25 repetition within a minute for a grade of normal) and clinical outcome using American Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) hindfoot-ankle score, return to the previous activity level, presence of associated complaints and subjective assessment (scored as good, fair or poor) will be assessed. Time frame This will be a 4-year study with a 3-year follow-up. Expected outcomes: There will be no differences in demographic parameters (age, gender, side and mechanism of the injury) between groups. Patients in the FG will reach sooner final range of motion (ROM) and muscular strength without limping and will be (subjectively) more satisfied with the treatment. There will be no statistically significant differences observed between groups according to the number of complications and in the end functional results with return to pre-injury activities.
