Alterations of energy expenditure after anterior cruciate ligament tear and reconstruction. A systematic review.

Background: The ever-increasing sport level makes every single detail of the athlete's cardiorespiratory profile count, and therefore, it is deemed crucial to clarify how the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) affects the energy economy of an athlete compared to the ACL-deficient and healthy subjects. The purpose of this review was to systematically analyze the studies investigating the correlation between the energy-oxygen cost in patients following ACLR in unreconstructed and intact ACLs.

Methods: We conducted this systematic review according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines.

[The surgical treatment of scoliosis with the use of the Rodnianskiĭ-Gupalov endocorrector at a pediatric orthopedic sanatorium].

102 patients with scoliosis at stages II, III and IV aged from 7 to 18 years have been operated making use of Rodnianski'i-Gupalov endocorrector. Half of the patients had scoliosis at stage IV. The best results have been observed in the patients aged from 7 to 12 years at stage 11 and beginning of stage III of scoliosis (to 35 degrees).
