Article Synopsis
- Avascular necrosis of the knee following arthroscopic surgery has been studied, but this article focuses on the often misdiagnosed condition of osteonecrosis specifically affecting the medial tibial plateau.
- The study involved analyzing the medical records and X-rays of six elderly Caucasian females who had isolated osteonecrosis without any trauma, with three of them having undergone previous arthroscopic surgery.
- The exact cause of the osteonecrosis remains uncertain, but it highlights the need to consider it as a potential reason for ongoing knee pain after surgery, while the link between surgical treatment and the development of necrosis should be approached cautiously.
Return to play following ACL reconstruction: a systematic review about strength deficits.
Arch Orthop Trauma Surg
October 2014
Purpose: There is a lack of consensus regarding appropriate criteria attesting patients' unrestricted sports activities after ACL reconstruction. Purpose of this study was to perform a systematic review about strength deficits to find out if a strength test might be a return to play criterion.
Data Source: Pubmed central, Google Scholar.
Background: The aim of this study is to analyze clinical results after osteochondral cylinder transplantation for osteochondral defects at the medial or lateral talar dome using the Diamond twin system (Karl Storz). We hypothesize that grafts harvesting from the posterior femoral condyles are associated with less donor site morbidity than reported by previous studies.
Methods: We have surgically treated 20 patients with an osteochondral defect of the talus by osteochondral transplantation with the Diamond twin system via an osteotomy of the ankle.
Breath tests based on the administration of a (13)C-labeled drug and subsequent monitoring of (13)CO2 in the breath (quantified as DOB - delta over baseline) liberated from the drug during hepatic CPY-dependent detoxification are important tools in liver function diagnostics. The capability of such breath tests to reliably indicate hepatic CYP performance is limited by the fact that (13)CO2 is not exclusively exhaled but also exchanged with other compartments of the body. In order to assess this bias caused by variations of individual systemic CO2 kinetics we administered intravenously the test drug (13)C-methacetin to 25 clinically liver-healthy individuals and monitored progress curves of DOB and the plasma concentration of (13)C-methacetin.
