Objectives. 1) To translate and cross-culturally adapt the Knee Injury Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) into Filipino; 2) validate Filipino translation of KOOS using Short-Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36) among patients with knee osteoarthritis (kOA) at a tertiary hospital.
 Methodology. A version was translated adapted from original English validated following standard guidelines. Adult F...

PURPOSE To compare the outcome of bicompartmental knee arthroplasty (BKA) versus total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in patients with medial and patellofemoral knee osteoarthritis. METHODS Records of 17 women and 10 men with medial and patellofemoral osteoarthritis of the knee who underwent BKA (n=15) or TKA (n=12) were reviewed. All surgeries were performed by the same surgeon. Patient haemoglobin...

INTRODUCTION Osteochondral allograft (OCA) transplantation is a suitable treatment option for large osteochondral defects. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an objective, reproducible, noninvasive monitoring tool for postoperative assessment after cartilage surgery. OBJECTIVE To correlate Osteochondral Allograft MRI Scoring System (OCAMRISS) in patients undergoing OCA transplantation in the...

The purpose of this study was to translate and cross-culturally adapt the Western Ontario Meniscal Evaluation Tool (WOMET) for use in Denmark evaluate its test–retest reliability comparative responsiveness. Sixty patients (mean age 50 years (range 19–71 years), females 57%) with meniscal injury scheduled arthroscopic surgery at a small Danish hospital period from September 2017 February 2018 we...

INTRODUCTION Permanent dislocation of the patella (PDP) is a rare condition. In cases of PDP with tibiofemoral arthritis, total knee arthroplasty may be performed through a medial parapatellar approach with patellar realignment. In this article we present two cases of PDP with tibiofemoral osteoarthritis successfully treated via lateral approach TKA without any additional realignment procedure....

This study was conducted to compare the differences of the outcome and surgical technique for minimally invasive unicompartmental knee arthroplasty(UKA) in treatment of osteonecrosis versus osteoarthritis. Twenty-nine spontaneous osteonecrosis of the knee (SONK) cases were reviewed retrospectively. An equal number of patients with osteoarthritis (OA) performed in the same period were selected a...

Background and purpose - No consensus exists on when to perform arthroscopic partial meniscectomy in patients with a degenerative meniscal tear. Since MRI and clinical tests are not accurate in detecting a symptomatic meniscal lesion, the patient's symptoms often play a large role when deciding when to perform surgery. We determined the prevalence and severity of self-reported knee symptoms in ...

The aim of this study was to compare a patient cohort after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in terms of the revision rate and the functional outcome, with and without patella resurfacing. Sixty-six patients (71 TKAs) were implanted with the mobile-bearing knee prosthesis system e.motion UC (Aesculap AG, Tuttlingen, Germany). These patients were divided into 2 groups, 1 of which received primary p...

UNLABELLED Recent advances in brain imaging have contributed to our understanding of the neural activity associated with acupuncture treatment. In this study, we investigated functional connectivity across longitudinal acupuncture treatments in older patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Over a period of 4 weeks (six treatments), we collected resting state functional magnetic resonance imagin...
