One year "ADAPT system" use for proximal femoral fracture osteosynthesis with intramedullary nail . A case control study.

Introduction: Proximal femoral fractures (PFF) are a significant health concern among the elderly, often leading to complications and high mortality rates. Intramedullary nailing is widely considered the most effective treatment for lateral proximal femoral fractures (LPFF), with the Tip Apex Distance (TAD) being a crucial predictor of surgical success. This study aimed to compare outcomes between patients treated with and without the ADAPT (ADAptive Positioning Technology) system, which aids in the precise placement of the cephalic screw.

Current Evidence Using Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields in Osteoarthritis: A Systematic Review.

(1) Osteoarthritis (OA) significantly impacts patients' quality of life and negatively affects public healthcare costs. The aim of this systematic review is to identify the effectiveness of pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) in OA treatment across different anatomical districts, determining pain reduction and overall improvement in the patient's quality of life. (2) In this systematic review following PRISMA guidelines, PubMed and Google Scholar were searched for randomized controlled trials involving patients with osteoarthritis undergoing PEMF therapy.

Management of post-traumatic elbow instability after failed radial head excision: A case report.

Radial head excision has always been a safe commonly used surgical procedure with a satisfactory clinical outcome for isolated comminuted radial head fractures. However, diagnosis of elbow instability is still very challenging and often underestimated in routine orthopaedic evaluation. We present the case of a 21-years old female treated with excision after radial head fracture, resulting in elbow instability.

[Role of magnetic resonance in the evaluation of the normal and osteochondrosis hip in early and late childhood].

Introduction: Despite MR potentials, few studies investigate the features of normal hips and of hip osteochondrosis in early and late childhood. We report our personal experience with MRI of hip osteochondrosis in pediatric patients.

Material And Methods: MR images were obtained with total body MR equipment at medium and high fields.
