Filter by:Kinesiotaping is increasingly being used as a complement to musculoskeletal pain management. This study aimed to evaluate the immediate clinical efficacy of kinesiotaping on pain and pain-related symptoms of Legg-Calvé-Perthes Disease (LCPD).
In this study, the aim is to identify the modifications responsible for aseptic osteonecrosis of the femoral head and its structural evolution by the association of the micro scanner analysis and Raman spectrometry performed on the femoral heads removed during hip replacements. The study of femoral heads will allow the analysis of bone tissue at two different scales, both correlated with the biomechanical properties of the bone. Also, the association with preliminary MRI analysis will provide pathogenic explanations correlated to these modifications.
Background: Varus derotation osteotomy (VDRO) is one of the most popular surgical treatments for Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease yet its long term results have not been assessed. Our purpose was to determine the long term clinical and radiographic outcomes of these patients. Methods: Forty patients (43 hips) who had undergone VDRO for LCPD who participated in a long term follow-up study a decade ago were approached for the present study. All patients were treated in our institution during 1959 to 1983 with proximal VDRO. The patients were invited to for a medical interview and a physical examination. They were also asked to fill out questionnaires and to provide or undergo a standing anteroposterior (AP) pelvic and a lateral hip radiographs during the visit. Patients were asked to self-grade their hip pain as none, mild, moderate or severe and to grade their back pain using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) between 0-10. Details regarding daily function, physical activity, work status and family history were obtained. All participants completed the Harris Hip Score (HHS) with a maximum score of 100 and the Short Form-36 which is composed of 8 sections and has a maximum score of 100. The physical examination included an assessment of the hip range of motion, leg length discrepancy and the presence of a Trendelenburg sign. Radiographic parameters evaluated were the Tonnis grade (with a score between 0-3), head size ratio, and the center-edge (CE) angle.
The primary purpose of this study is to measure the postoperative changes in bone mineral density, comparing the Taperloc Complete Reduced Distal Microplasty stem and the standard length Taperloc Complete Reduced Distal stem.
Femoral head avascular necrosis is a relatively common disease (10,000 - 20,000 yearly new United States of America cases) characterized by ischemic cell necrosis in a hip proximal epiphysis area frequently requiring total Hip Arthroplasty (THA). Even though THA resolves symptoms and restores good joint function, young patients are prone to major disabilities and require prosthesis revision surgeries. In this clinical trial a comparison between two groups of patients, treated with the same procedure but with two different regenerative techniques, will be performed: 1. 52 patients with necrosis in an early stage, without deformity of the femoral epiphysis (stage 2A-B-C in Association for Research on Osseous Circulation (ARCO) classification, will undergo wide decompression of the necrotic area and reconstruction with homologous Lyophilized Bone Chips (LBC), growth factors from platelet concentrate Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) and Concentrated Bone Marrow (CBM). 2. 52 patients with necrosis of similar features, without deformity of the femoral epiphysis, will undergo wide decompression of the necrotic area and reconstruction with Demineralized Bone Matrix (DBM), growth factors from Platelet-Rich-Fibrin (PRF) and Concentrated Bone Marrow (CBM). Patients will be evaluated post-surgery at 6 weeks, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months to assess joint damage evolution by ARCO classification, and hip function by clinical scores (Harris Hip Score (HHS), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) Score, and Visual Analogic Scale (VAS)).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Perthes' disease has caused detectable hip cartilage damage in young people who have reached the healed stage of the disease.
