Background: Various modalities of treatment are defined for the osteoarthritis knee. The spectrum ranges from pharmacological management to surgical in form total knee replacement. Another attractive modality is use adult mesenchymal progenitor cells osteoarthritis. We studied effect on ongoing degenerative process as well its role clinical and functional outcome. Materials Methods: 70 patients...

PURPOSE To determine whether the outcome after septic arthritis after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is inferior compared with uncomplicated ACLR when treated promptly by use of a standard protocol. METHODS At Capio Artro Clinic, 4,384 primary ACLRs were performed during 2001-2009. All patients with postoperative septic arthritis were retrospectively reviewed, and 43 met the...

BACKGROUND In vitro analysis has shown that oxidized zirconium on ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene has better wear properties than cobalt-chromium on ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. The purpose of this study was to determine if oxidized zirconium femoral components performed better than cobalt-chromium in vivo and if the use of oxidized zirconium components had clinical advers...

BACKGROUND The changes in synovial fluid biomarkers after intra-articular injection of hyarulonic acid (IA HA) remain controversial. We investigate the changes in the properties of synovial fluid (SF) and clinical symptoms before the first and fifth IA HA. METHODS A total of 73 patients (73 knees) with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis were treated with five weekly intra-articular injections of...

The present study reports our experience of treating four cases of symptomatic discoid medial meniscus, three of which were bilateral. We performed partial meniscectomy with a four-portal technique using a knife leaving a 6 mm peripheral margin after confirmation of magnetic resonance imaging findings. Clinical results were assessed at the end of 2-year follow-up using the Knee Injury and Osteo...

BACKGROUND The effectiveness of arthroscopic treatment for osteoarthritic knee is a controversy. This study presents the technique of a novel concept of arthroscopic procedure and investigates its clinical outcome. METHOD An arthroscopic procedure targeted on elimination of focal abrasion phenomenon and regaining soft tissue balance around patello-femoral joint was applied to treat osteoarthr...

Objective Diabetes mellitus (DM) appears to increase osteoarthritic knee pain, which may be related greater adiposity and more advanced disease status often observed in individuals with osteoarthritis (OA) DM. We aimed assess whether OA pain health are worse DM, independent of these potential confounders. Methods included 202 participants DM 2,279 without from the Osteoarthritis Initiative. Kne...
