Purpose: Plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) is a critical enzyme that regulates coagulation and fibrinolytic systems. The aim of this study was to determine the role of PAI-1 4G/5G polymorphism in nontraumatic avascular necrosis of the lunate.
Methods: The study included 45 patients with Kienböck disease and 45 healthy individuals as a control group.
Article Synopsis
- * A total of 67 patients (31 males, 36 females) were assessed over 6-24 months using clinical evaluations and MRI, revealing differences in treatment resistance based on injury location.
- * Findings indicate that patients with both medial femoral condyle and tibial plateau involvement were less responsive to treatment, and existing intra-articular pathologies often contributed to continued pain despite resolution of bone marrow oedema.
Introduction: Congenital peripheral constriction ring originating from soft tissues of the leg that is characterized with compression in the soft tissue usually involving the deep fascia surrounding the leg at the time of birth is occasionally observed in lower extremity. At the region of the constriction, fractures of tibia and fibula and foot deformities like clubfoot can be observed.
Case Presentation: In our report, 6-month and 8-month old infants with congenital constriction band and ipsilateral clubfoot were presented.
