..Apart from varus deformities, TKR with intra-articular bone resection effectively corrected the extra-articular deformity of the femur in the presence of antecurvatum of up to 16° and recurvatum of up to 15°...

..8 years after surgery was 96.4%. The use of impacted allograft chips in combination with a cemented metal-backed acetabular component and screw fixation can achieve good medium-term results in patients with acetabular bone deficiency...

..The optimal treatment for this difficult complication remains controversial. We have treated this problem with internal fixation and allogeneic bone-grafting at the time of revision of a loose acetabular component...

..No significant difference in knee scores was observed, however, between reimplantation TKA and arthrodesis. Approximately 50% of reimplantation TKAs had mild-to-moderate knee pain...

..The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of alendronate on bone mineral density in the distal part of the femur and proximal part of the tibia after total knee arthroplasty in women...

..A prospective clinical study was performed to compare the efficacy of low-molecular-weight heparin and indomethacin for the prevention of deep-vein thrombosis after total knee arthroplasty in Asian patients...

..These analytical results should be applicable to other Taiwan hospitals and to other countries with similar social and cultural practices...

..Despite the difference in knee scores, 85% of the patients from both groups were equally satisfied with the results of treatment. There was no discernible radiographic difference between the two groups, including radiolucency...

..The management of infection after intramedullary nailing of the femoral shaft fracture remains a challenge to orthopedic surgeons. The dilemma confronting surgeons concerns the removal or retention of the nail in the presence of infection...

..The purpose of this retrospective study was to analyze the results of treatment of nonunions of the distal part of the femur with internal fixation combined with cortical allograft struts and autogenous bone-grafting...

..This retrospective study was performed to evaluate the clinical results of total knee arthroplasty combined with intra-articular bone resection, without osteotomy, in patients with extra-articular deformity and arthritis of the knee...

..The purpose of this study was to evaluate the long-term effects of a six-month course of alendronate on bone mineral density after total knee arthroplasty...

..The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the outcome after distal femoral osteotomy performed for the treatment of painful genu valgum and to assess the influence of patellofemoral arthritis on the results...

..This study compared responsiveness and minimal important differences (MID) between HHS and SF-36...

..In this retrospective study, we reported the clinical results of HBO therapy for chronic refractory osteomyelitis...

..The V-Y quadricepsplasty was associated with an inferior clinical outcome. Total knee arthroplasty in patients with stiff knees has substantially improved in the clinical outcome and the arc of motion...

..This study investigated the effects of extracorporeal shockwave technology (ESWT) in osteoarthritis of the knee in rats...

..Comparing the responsiveness over time of the Harris Hip Score (HHS) and the SF-36 in patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA) and assessing variation in the responsiveness of these measures by the number of co-morbidities...

..We hypothesized that joint effects of ESWT and alendronate may produce superior results. This prospective study compared the results of ESWT and alendronate with that of ESWT without alendronate in early ONFH...

..Conclusion: ESWT appears to be more effective than core decompression and bone grafting for early ONFH with 8- to 9-year long-term follow-up...

..For treatment of displaced midshaft clavicle fractures, both Knowles pinning with cerclage wires and reconstruction plating with extraplate wires provide rigid fixation and perfect union...

..This prospective clinical study was performed to compare the clinical outcomes and radiographic changes between patients with cruciate-retaining (CR) and cruciate-substituting (CS) total knee arthroplasty (TKA)...

..Two years and 6 months after operation, the patient had no extension lag of the knee and knee flexion to 110 degrees ...

..001) were related to noise in ceramic-on-ceramic THAs. The study showed third-generation ceramic-on-ceramic THAs had a low incidence of noise problems. However, long-term follow-up is necessary to determine the clinical relevance...

..89 cm to a postoperative mean of 0.61 cm. Despite a higher complication rate, two-stage THA was still deemed a worthy procedure because hip function was significantly improved in patients with primary septic arthritis of the hip...

..The definition of gastrocneumus and soleus deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical significance of muscular deep-vein thrombosis after total knee arthroplasty (TKA)...

..The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of two-stage reimplantation for infected hip arthroplasty using our protocol of combined parenteral and oral antibiotic therapy and the criterion for reimplantation...

..The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical results of two-stage reimplantation of an infected total knee arthroplasty using a static antibiotic-impregnated cement spacer...

..The pathogen was susceptible to linezolid, amikacin, ciprofloxacin, tigecycline, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. The clinical implications are discussed...

..Tranexamic acid (TEA) reportedly reduces perioperative blood loss in TKA. However, whether it does so in minimally invasive TKA is not clear...

..The results should be applicable to other hospitals in Taiwan and in other countries with similar social and cultural practices...

..Intraarterial cisplatin and intravenous adriamycin could achieve a good initial tumor response and convert the response to an ultimate cure...

..No recurrence of calcium deposits was observed during the 2 years that the study group was followed. CONCLUSIONS: Shock wave therapy is a safe and effective noninvasive treatment for patients with calcific tendinitis of the shoulder...

..CONCLUSION: This method has following advantages, convenient manipulation, less injury, stable fixation, and the short-term recovery, which avoid some common complications. It is a reliable method worthy of popularizing...
