Between 1995 and 2006, five intra-articular osteotomies of the head of the radius were performed in patients with symptomatic healed displaced articular fractures. Pre-operatively, all patients complained of persistent painful clicking on movement. Only patients with mild or no degenerative changes of the radial head and capitellum were considered for osteotomy. The operations were performed at...

We carried out a prospective study in order to establish to what extent the intra-articular evaluation undertaken during arthroscopy of the knee differed between surgeons. Two senior specialist registrars and a consultant orthopaedic surgeon with a special interest in knee surgery were involved. A total of 78 knee arthroscopies (78 patients) was studied. Arthroscopy was first carried out by the...

Osteochondromas are usually extra-articular lesions originating from the metaphysis of long bones. Intra-articular osteochondromas may also occur, causing pain and discomfort and restricting the range of motion. Osteochondromas of the femoral neck are intra-articular lesions that are difficult to access for surgical resection, particularly when located posteriorly. We herein present a rare case...

background intra-articular analgesia is a pain reliever that is frequently administered following arthroscopic knee surgery. objectives the purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of intra-articular applicationrnof morphine and tramadol on postoperative pain after arthroscopic knee surgery patients and methods for this randomized double blinded clinical trial, 132 patientsrnundergoing...

BACKGROUND Previous authors have suggested that intra-articular morphine and clonidine injections after knee arthroscopy have demonstrated equivocal analgesic effect in comparison with bupivacaine while circumventing the issue of chondrotoxicity. There have been no studies evaluating the effect of intra-articular morphine after hip arthroscopy. PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy of intra-articu...

Distal humeral fractures are relatively rare and complex injuries. With appropriate preoperative planning and execution of surgical technique, good outcomes may be obtained in most patients. Patients should be counseled regarding loss of motion in these injuries, and elderly, osteoporotic patients with extensive comminution should be considered for total elbow arthroplasty as an alternative to ...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none fa background: osteoarthritis is one of the most common diseases and the knee is the most commonly affected joint. intra-articular prolotherapy is being utilized in acute and chronic pain management setting. this study was designed to compare the efficacy of three methods of intra-articular knee joint therapies with erythropoietin, dextrose, and pulsed ra...

PURPOSE To investigate the harmful effects of a single episode of intra-articular bleeding on articular cartilage of rabbit knees using scanning electron microscopy. METHODS Autologous blood was injected into the right knee joints of 18 New Zealand white rabbits. Surface and cellular damages were examined by the scanning electron microscope (n=9) and light microscope (n=34), respectively. The...

Intra-articular patellar dislocation due to acute trauma is considered a rare presentation and less commonly encountered in practice than extra-articular dislocation. This case study presents type 2 inferior of the patella an elderly patient which was successfully reduced managed non-operatively.

OBJECTIVE To examine the therapeutic efficacy of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) in rabbits with experimental osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS Experimental OA was induced in rabbits by anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT). In the first study, rabbits (six in each group) received intramuscular injections of GlcNAc or normal saline three times a week starting 1 week postoperatively. In the se...
