Nanomedicine is based on the fact that biological molecules behave similarly to nanomolecules, which have a size of less than 100 nm, and is now affecting most areas of orthopedics. In orthopedic oncology, most of the in vitro and in vivo studies have used osteosarcoma or Ewing sarcoma cell lineages. In this article, tumor imaging and treatment nanotechnology applications, including nanostructu...

William J. Hozack, MD: The radiographs demonstrate a dislocated total hip arthroplasty (THA) with extensive bone lysis on both the acetabular and femoral sides. Component fixation appears intact. Closed reduction is indicated in this case, as in virtually all cases of dislocation. A dislocated THA is painful for the patient and requires immediate attention. Furthermore, there are many instances...

Why research Raoul Hoffmann and the evolution of external skeletal fixation? [1] As a young surgeon assigned to duty on the Hospital Ship Sanctuary during the Vietnam War, I was flown in and reported to the Commanding Officer. The Captain said my assignment was in Orthopedics. I replied ‘my main interest is in Neurosurgery.’ He said there were no neurosurgeons on the hospital ship so he could s...

conclusions there is no difference between median and paramedian approaches with respect to pdph incidence; the paramedian approach is therefore recommended, especially for older patients with degenerative changes in the spine and intervertebral spaces and those who cannot take the proper position. moreover, the rate of pdph was found to be significantly higher in females than in males. results...

The musculoskeletal manifestations of hemophilia A and B are some of the most common presenting symptoms and continue to be challenging to practitioners. Hemophilic arthropathy, if not initially adequately treated and managed, may lead to debilitating disease and eventually require the consideration of major surgery, including total joint arthroplasty. Thorough comprehension of the pathophysiol...

In the article, “Evaluation of a combined posterior lateral and anteromedial approach in the treatment of terrible triad of the elbow: A retrospective study”, which appeared in Volume 96, Issue 22 of Medicine, the author byline should have appeared as “Xulin Wu, MM, Bensen Tang, BA, Weimin Zhu, BA, Guangfu Zhou, BA, Fuyao Liu, BA, Bing Qiu ∗ , BA, Hong-Wei Chen, MB, Zi-Yang Wang, MB.” The corre...

This review covers recent publications on the motor system (orthopedics and movement) in Brazilian journals recently admitted to the ISI-Thomson Journal of Citations Index. Two of these are still pleading for admission into PubMed which will eventually enhance their global visibility. We offer this contribution to experts on these areas who are regular readers of Revista da Associação Médica Br...
