A radiological index that influences the outcome following patellofemoral joint arthroplasty: the anterior trochlea offset ratio.

Purpose: Although largely successful, patellofemoral joint arthroplasty (PFA) has a less than satisfactory outcome in some patients. It was hypothesized that certain factors can be identified on radiological review that correlate with poor patient reported outcomes following PFA.

Methods: A retrospective cohort review of 369 patients undergoing PFA at our institution between 2005 and 2018 identified 43 "poor outcome" patients with an Oxford Knee Score (OKS) of less than 20 at 2 years follow up.

The effectiveness of PROLOTHERAPY for recalcitrant Medial TIBIAL Stress Syndrome: a prospective consecutive CASE series.

Background: Medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS) is one of the most common lower leg injuries in sporting populations. It accounts for between 6 and 16% of all running injuries, and up to 53% of lower leg injuries in military recruits. Various treatment modalities are available with varying degrees of success.

Mid-term outcomes of surgical management of complex, isolated radial head fractures: a multicentre collaboration.

Objectives: The available literature discussing optimal surgical management of Mason II and III radial head (RH) fractures without concomitant bone or ligamentous injuries is limited. We aim to help determine the appropriate management of these functionally significant injuries.

Design: We present our retrospective cohort study of outcomes of surgically managed isolated, displaced RH fractures SETTING: Study from three trauma centres.

Treatment modalities for hip and knee osteoarthritis: A systematic review of safety.

Current guidelines on the management of hip and knee osteoarthritis (OA) do not compare safety of treatment modalities. We therefore systematically reviewed 20 studies investigating mortality and serious complications of both medical and surgical treatments for hip and knee OA using PubMed, Scopus, Web of Knowledge and Google Scholar. Mortality was the highest for naproxen (hazard ratio (HR) = 3 (1.

prosthetic hip joint infection after dental treatment.

Introduction: is a Gram-positive bacteria and a normal component of oral flora. It is also found in dental plaques, endodontic abscesses and can rarely cause more serious infections.

Case Presentation: We describe a prosthetic hip joint infection in an 81-year-old fit and healthy man due to who underwent a prolonged dental intervention two days earlier without antibiotic prophylaxis.

Prospective therapies for high-grade glial tumours: A literature review.

After three decades of intensive research, cytoreductive surgery remains the gold standard of treatment of malignant gliomas. Survivorship at both 1-year and 5-years has not drastically changed in the UK. Concomitant chemo- and radiotherapy has enhanced the efficiency of surgery, enabling more aggressive tumour resection whilst also preserving the surrounding healthy brain parenchyma.

Medial tibial pain pressure threshold algometry in runners.

Purpose: Pressure algometry (PA) may provide an objective and standardised tool in assessing palpation pain over the tibia. The purpose of this study was to analyse the intra-rater repeatability of PA and to determine whether tibial tenderness in healthy runners differ from runners with medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS).

Methods: Pressure algometry was performed on 20 asymptomatic runners (40 legs) and 9 MTSS patients (14 symptomatic legs) at standardised locations along the medial border of the tibia.

Systematic review and recommendations for intracompartmental pressure monitoring in diagnosing chronic exertional compartment syndrome of the leg.

Objective: Although all intracompartmental pressure (ICP) measurement, magnetic resonance imaging, and near-infrared spectroscopy seem to be useful in confirming the diagnosis of chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS), no standard diagnostic procedure is currently universally accepted. We reviewed systematically the relevant published evidence on diagnostic criteria commonly in use for CECS to address 3 main questions: (1) Is there a standard diagnostic method available? (2) What ICP threshold criteria should be used for diagnosing CECS? (3) What are the criteria and options for surgical management? Finally, we made statements on the strength of each diagnostic criterion of ICP based on a rigorous standardized process.

Data Sources: We searched for studies that investigated ICP measurements in diagnosing CECS in the leg of human subjects, using PubMed, Score, PEDRO, Cochrane, Scopus, SportDiscus, Web of Knowledge, and Google Scholar.
