Purpose: To determine clinical and neuromuscular properties in patients with normal or sub-normal subjective knee function after finalisation of 6 months' post-operative rehabilitation following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR).
Methods: Sixty patients after primary anatomical single-bundle hamstring ACLR were prospectively enrolled. Demographics, subjective, clinical and functional status of the injured knee were recorded at baseline, 6 and 12 months post-operatively.
Background: Short-term and mid-term differences between hamstring and patellar tendon autografts for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction are well documented. Systematic reviews highlight the lack of long-term results between the two grafts.
Hypothesis: Seventeen years after ACL reconstruction, no difference will be found in functional outcome, quality of life, and graft failure between patients with patellar tendon (PT) or semitendinosus and gracilis tendon (STG) autografts; however, a significant difference will be seen in the prevalence of osteoarthritis.
Evaluation of major trauma in elderly patients - a single trauma center analysis.
Wien Klin Wochenschr
December 2016
Background: The objective of the study was to gather information about elderly major trauma patients admitted to one particular Slovenian trauma centre in Celje and examine this group of polytrauma patients, specifically with respect to mechanisms of injury, injury severity and distribution of injuries. Further on, to identify morbidity and mortality rates and compare these to the younger population and, finally, to determine the factors that have the most impact on treatment results.
Methods: The study gathered and evaluated data of 532 patients included in the Trauma Register DGU® of the German Trauma Society (TR-DGU) during a 10-year period and two distinct groups of patients were established, separated on account of age as older or younger than 65 years.
