Filter by:This study is a prospective randomized controlled clinical study. After the novel Achilles tendon rupture repaired , patients were randomly divided into 4 groups according to immobilisation duration of 0, 2, 4, and 6 weeks, respectively. All patients underwent the same suture technique with a similar rehabilitation protocol and were examined clinically at 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 24, and 48 weeks to study the difference in efficacy among the groups.
We introduced an automatic knee arthrometer (AKA) and aimed to evaluate the repeatability and effectiveness thereof in diagnosing ACL rupture compared with the KT-2000.
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
This study intends to perform round-tunnel and flat-tunnel ACL reconstruction technique in 144 patients, and compare the clinical outcomes of the two surgical procedures through follow-up.
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.
Short Post-operative Antibacterial Therapy in Complicated Appendicitis: Oral Versus Intravenous is a prospective randomized controlled trial comparing 24 hour intravenous antibacterial therapy to 24 hour oral antibacterial therapy after surgery in complicated appendicitis.
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.
Unrecognized abdominal and pelvic injuries can result in catastrophic disability and death. Sporadic reports of "occult" injuries have generated concern, and physicians, fearing that they may miss such an injury, have adopted the practice of obtaining computed tomography on virtually all patients with significant blunt trauma. This practice exposes large numbers patients to dangerous radiation at considerable expense, while detecting injuries in a small minority of cases. Existing data suggest that a limited number of criteria can reliably identify blunt injury victims who have "no risk" of abdominal or pelvic injuries, and hence no need for computed tomography (CT), without misidentifying any injured patient. It is estimated that nationwide implementation of such criteria could result in an annual reduction in radiographic charges of $75 million, and a significant decrease in radiation exposure and radiation induced malignancies. This study seeks to determine whether "low risk" criteria can reliably identify patients who have sustained significant abdominal or pelvic injuries and safely decrease CT imaging of blunt trauma patients. This goal will be accomplished in the following manner: All blunt trauma victims undergoing computed tomography of the abdomen/pelvis in the emergency department will undergo routine clinical evaluations prior to radiographic imaging. Based on these examinations, the presence or absence of specific clinical findings (i.e. abdominal/pelvic/flank pain, abdominal/pelvic/flank tenderness, bruising abrasions, distention, hip pain, hematuria, hypotension, tachycardia, low or falling hematocrit, intoxication, altered sensorium, distracting injury, positive FAST imaging, dangerous mechanism, abnormal x-ray imaging) will be recorded for each patient, as will the presence or absence of abdominal or pelvic injuries. The clinical findings will serve as potential imaging criteria. At the completion of the derivation portion of the study the criteria will be examined to find a subset that predicts injury with high sensitivity, while simultaneously excluding injury, and hence the need for imaging, in the remaining patients. These criteria will then be confirmed in a separate validation phase of the study. The criteria will be considered to be reliable if the lower statistical confidence limit for the measured sensitivity exceeds 98.0%. Potential reductions in CT imaging will be estimated by determining the proportion of "low-risk" patients that do not have significant abdominal or pelvic injuries.
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
Knee injuries, especially those to the ACL, are common among physically active people. These injuries are frequently treated with surgical reconstruction (ACL reconstruction; ACLR). While ACLR restores stability it does not protect against future injury, long-term pain, disability, and arthritis associated with these injuries. Our study is going to examine new ways to provide feedback about the way people move to determine if these are better at modifying movement patterns that are known risk factors of posttraumatic osteoarthritis development than current standard treatments. If you participate, you will be asked to undergo a movement analysis in a research laboratory while you perform tasks such as walking and hopping. After this initial assessment, you will be randomly allocated to one of 2 treatment groups. Each treatment group will perform 4 weeks (3x/week) of exercises to change the way people walk. Participants will then report for follow-up movement analysis testing 1- and 4-weeks after completing the intervention.
