Introduction: A frequent complication after total hip arthroplasty is bleeding; to reduce it, intravenous or intra-articular tranexamic acid (TXA) is used. There is no evidence yet on which route of administration is better.
Materials And Method: This was a prospective, controlled, randomized study in 2 arms between February 2017 and February 2019.
Background And Objective: To assess the usefulness of a risk scale based on serum procalcitonin (PCT) compared to the Laboratory Risk Indicator for Necrotising Fasciitis (LRINEC) scale in the early discrimination between necrotising fasciitis (NF) and cellulitis of the extremities.
Materials And Methods: Retrospective study of consecutive patients with confirmed diagnosis of NF in one limb (n=11). This study group was compared with 23 consecutive patients with a diagnosis of severe limbs cellulitis during the same period.
Purpose: The objective was to assess aseptic complications and functional outcome using a primary total hip arthroplasty with modular neck.
Methods: Prospective cohort of 317 consecutive patients. The mean age was 61.
Background And Objective: The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire is a specific outcome instrument developed to measure upper-extremity disability and symptoms. The aim of this work is to develop a Spanish version of the DASH questionnaire and to analyze its reliability, validity and responsiveness.
Material And Method: We performed cross-cultural adaptation of the DASH to Spanish, using a process that included double forward and backward translations, expert review and field-testing.
