Purpose: To determine the diagnostic accuracy of native magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) regarding different ligamentous lesions of the wrist and to analyze the influence of technical characteristics, such as field strength, application of fat saturation, 3-dimensional sequences, and wrist coils.
Methods: A systematic search was performed using MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases. Studies that were published before February 12, 2024, were included.
Purpose: To compare the efficacy of steroid injections to other injectable therapies in partial-thickness rotator cuff (RC) tears.
Methods: A systematic literature search was performed until October 25, 2021, in 3 databases (Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Embase, MEDLINE). Eligible studies compared the efficacy of steroid, hyaluronic acid (HA), platelet-rich plasma (PRP), the combination of HA and PRP (HA + PRP), and adipose-derived regenerative cells in RC tears.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the factors that influence Young's modulus values in human bones, which are crucial for orthopedic implant design and finite element analysis (FEA).
- A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted, including data from 48 articles covering 756 entries from various bones, and explored how different measurement techniques and bone types affect Young's modulus values, which ranged from 0.008 to 33.7 GPa.
- Key influences on these values were identified, including bone type (cortical or cancellous), measurement methods, anatomical location, and demographic factors such as age and sex, highlighting the need for standardized measurement protocols in FEA evaluations.
