p class="abstract"> Background: Hip fractures in the elderly are frequent. Intertrochanteric hip fractures account for approximately half of all hip fractures in the elderly; of these, from 50% to 60% are classified as unstable. In our study we tried to compare outcome of unstable trochantric fracture in terms length of PFN (180 vs 240 mm). Methods...

Background: This study was conducted to determine whether supraspinatus muscle atrophy appearance changes after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and to quantify the change in appearance on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), if any, based on age and tendon retraction. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator...

Background: Rotator cuff tears are a common cause of shoulder pain and dysfunction. More recently, there has been a renewed interest in understanding the subscapularis tears. There are multiple articles in the literature showing the short term results of isolated subscapularis tendon repair. However, the midterm and long term outcome studies for a...

AIM: Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disorder characterized by low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue. Today, an increasing number of medications are available in order to treat osteoporosis and reduce fracture risks. However, these agents are expensive and have adverse effects, such as upper gastrointestinal irritati...

Over a period of three and half years, twenty-eight patients with complex displaced fractures of the acetabulum were operated at our institution. Between December 2004 and June 2008 twenty-eight patients with closed displaced acetabular fractures were treated with open reduction and internal fixation. The surgical procedure consisted of open reduct...

Background: The purpose of this study was to compare the resistance of intramedullary single screw device (Gamma nail) and double screw device proximal femoral nail (PFN) in unstable trochanteric fractures in terms of the number of cycles sustained, subsidence and implant failure in an axial loading test in cadaveric femora. Materials and Methods:...

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressively debilitating disease that affects mostly cartilage, with associated changes in the bone. The increasing incidence of OA and an ageing population, coupled with insufficient therapeutic choices, has led to focus on the potential of stem cells as a novel strategy for cartilage repair. In this study, we used scaff...
