Moderate and Severe Injuries at Five International Olympic-Style Wrestling Tournaments during 2016-2019.

As a contact sport, wrestling may result in injuries. Based on the severity, they are classified as mild, moderate, severe and critical. All injuries occurring at international competitions are documented in a cloud-based surveillance system.

Systematic Literature Review and Expert Opinion for the Use of Viscosupplementation with Hyaluronic Acid in Different Localizations of Osteoarthritis.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a significant cause of disability. Considering the increasing diffusion of the viscosupplementation (VS) with hyaluronic acid (HA), the International Symposium Intra Articular Treatment (ISIAT) appointed a Technical Expert Panel (TEP) to identify the criteria for successful VS with a specific HA in OA; this through a systematic literature review (SLR), performed following the PRISMA guidelines interrogating Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Grey Matters and American College of Rheumatology (ACR/EULAR) databases and the opinion of international experts. The research included only studies on adults and humans without limitations of language or time of publication.

Level of Adiponectin, Leptin and Selected Matrix Metalloproteinases in Female Overweight Patients with Primary Gonarthrosis.

The aim of this study was to assess levels of adiponectin (ACRP-30) and leptin in serum and synovial fluid (SF) of overweight females with primary gonarthrosis (GOA) and to look for their correlations with clinical status and the level of biochemical OA biomarkers: matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 1, MMP-9 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP-1). The studied group consisted of 39 overweight females undergoing primary total knee arthroplasty as a result of GOA. The stage of GOA was evaluated according to Knee Society Score (KSS), Ahlbäck and Kellgren-Lawrence (K-L) scores.

Radiosynoviorthesis in the treatment of posttraumatic joint bleedings of hemophilic patients (concerning hip, knee and ankle joints)-Hungarian experience.

Introduction: The surgical, arthroscopic synovectomy and radiosynovectomy (radiosynoviorthesis, RSO) all have great practical importance, since they can eliminate the posttraumatic joint bleedings and prevent the further joint destructions in hemophilic patients. The aim of this study was to examine the role of RSO in the prevention of joint bleedings in hemophilic patients.

Methods: 54 out of 684 RSO patients were hemophiliacs.

Efficacy assessment of radiosynoviorthesis on the progression of radiological osteoarthritic features of hip and ankle joint in patients with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Objective:  The study objective was to evaluate the long-term effect of radiosynoviorthesis (RSO) on the progression of radiological and nuclear-medical osteoarthritic features of hip and ankle joint in patients with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Patients And Methods:  The study included 89 hip joints of 81 patients, of which 48 had osteoarthritis (OA) and 33 had rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In terms of ankle joints, 64 patients were included of which 43 suffered from OA and 21 from RA.

Treatment of a combined deformity following tibial tubercle ventromedialization with single proximal tibial closing wedge osteotomy.

Patellar instability in skeletally immature patients must be approached with concern of potential damage to physes. In this article, we present a case of combined knee deformity consisting of genu recurvatum, genu valgum and patella baja which arose subsequent to a pediatric tibial tubercle ventromedialization. Patient was a female who was 22 years old upon first admission.

Effectiveness evaluation of radiosynovectomy on the radiological progression of osteoarthritis of the knee joint.

Objectives: This study aims to analyze the effect of radiosynovectomy (RSO) on the radiological progression of osteoarthritis of the knee joint.

Patients And Methods: The study included 207 knee joints of 181 patients (72 males, 109 females; mean age 58 years; range, 19 to 65 years) that were performed RSO between 01 April 2003 and 31 December 2015 in the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology at Uzsoki Hospital. A total of 111 right and 96 left knees were treated.

Effect of a balance-training programme on postural balance, aerobic capacity and frequency of falls in women with osteoporosis: A randomized controlled trial.

Objective: To investigate the effect of a 12-month complex balance-training programme on static and dynamic postural balance, aerobic capacity and frequency of falls in women with established osteoporosis.

Design: Randomized controlled trial in which the intervention group was assigned a 12-month exercise programme (3 times a week for 30 min) and the control group had no intervention.

Subjects: A total of 100 osteoporotic women with at least one previous fracture.

Effectiveness of balance training programme in reducing the frequency of falling in established osteoporotic women: a randomized controlled trial.

Objective: To investigate the effect of a 12-month sensomotor balance exercise programme on postural control and the frequency of falling in women with established osteoporosis.

Design: Randomized controlled trial where the intervention group was assigned the 12-month Balance Training Programme and the control group did not undertake any intervention beyond regular osteoporosis treatment.

Subjects: A total of 100 osteoporotic women - at least with one osteoporotic fracture - aged 65 years old and above.

Current concepts: treatment of osteochondral ankle defects.

Osteochondral ankle defects cause various symptoms including pain, swelling, and limited range of motion. When surgical treatment is necessary, several treatment options exist. Arthroscopic debridement and drilling, arthroscopic autologous osteochondral transplantation (mosaiclasty), and autologous chondrocyte transplantation are discussed more extensively.

In vivo arthroscopic cartilage stiffness measurement in the knee.

The purpose of this study was to map the biomechanical properties of normal human articular cartilage in vivo. Instantaneous compressive stiffness was measured in the knee articular cartilage of 87 patients. Lateral femoral condyle stiffness (mean +/- SD; 5.

Mosaicplasty: long-term follow-up.

The successful treatment of chondral and osteochondral defects of the weightbearing surfaces is a challenge for orthopaedic surgeons. Autologous osteochondral transplantation is one method that can be used to create a hyaline or hyaline-like repair in the defect area. Ten years of clinical experience with autologous osteochondral mosaicplasty are described.
