Inter and Intra Operator Reliability of Motor and Palpation Evaluation in Fascial Manipulation in individuals with coxarthrosis.

Objective: An inter and intra rater reliability (INTERR and INTRAR) study was designed.

Methods: 71 subjects, with primary hip coxarthrosis, were included and randomly divided in a study group (SG= 36) and a control group (CG= 35) to assess the efficacy of the Fascial Manipulation® (FM®) method. The primary objective was the assessment of INTERR and INTRAR about movement verification (MV) and palpation verification (PV) of FM® performed by two physiotherapists (PtA and PtB).

Squeaking and other noises in patients with ceramic-on-ceramic total hip arthroplasty.

Introduction: Noise in ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a potential symptom of abnormal bearing wear. Squeaking and other prosthetic hip noises are multi-factorial phenomena that can be analysed and may provide prognostic information.

Methods: 46 patients with noisy CoC bearings were investigated using X-ray, computed tomography and joint fluid analysis, and classified into either high or low risk of ceramic liner fracture groups according to previously published guidelines.

Total Knee Replacement in Young Patients: Survival and Causes of Revision in a Registry Population.

Background: The incidence of total knee replacements (TKRs) in young patients is increasing. Few reports described encouraging results and acceptable survival rates. However, many concerns still persist, in particular about the high rates of infection and aseptic loosening.

Double-Incision Approach and Early Rehabilitation in a Complicated Bicondylar Tibial Plateau Fracture: A Case Report.

Objective: The main goal of this case was to report the treatment of bicondylar fractures of the tibial plateau and the restoration of the metaphyseo-diaphyseal dissociation.

Clinical Presentation And Intervention: A 54-year-old male who was cycling had a road accident that caused a closed fracture of the right tibial plateau and proximal fibula diagnosed by X-rays. The patient underwent surgery and was immobilized with a long-leg splint for 4 weeks.

Efficacy of triamcinolone acetate and methylprednisolone acetonide for intrabursal injection after ultrasound-guided percutaneous treatment in painful shoulder calcific tendonitis: a randomized controlled trial.

Background Ultrasound-guided percutaneous irrigation of calcific tendinopathy (US-PICT) with intrabursal steroid injection is an elective treatment for painful rotator cuff calcific tendinopathy. Purpose To compare the efficacy of post-US-PICT intrabursal 40 mg injection of triamcinolone acetonide (TA) versus methylprednisolone acetate (MA). Material and Methods Forty patients (22 women; mean age 48.
