A review of methods to measure tendon dimensions.
J Orthop Surg Res
Jan, 2019
Tendons are soft tissues of the musculoskeletal system that are designed to facilitate joint movement. Tendons exhibit a wide range of mechanical properties matched to their functions and, as a result, have been of interest to researchers for many decades. Dimensions are an important aspect of tendon properties.Change in the dimensions of tissues is often seen as a sign of injury and degeneration, as it may suggest inflammation or general disorder of the tissue. Dimensions are also important for determining the mechanical properties and behaviours of materials, particularly the stress, strain, and elastic modulus. This makes the dimensions significant in ...
Accuracy and practicability of a patient-specific guide using acetabular superolateral rim during THA in Crowe II/III DDH patients: a retrospective study.

The new PSI is accurate and practical to create an ideal artificial acetabulum during THA in adult Crowe II/III DDH patients.
Analysis of the stress distribution of the subtalar joint and fusion efficacy after double-screw insertion.
J Orthop Surg Res
Jan, 2019
The lateral-medial parallel screw insertion not only demonstrates a good stress distribution profile of the subtalar joint but also has advantages such as easy localization and operation during surgery, as well as a high fusion rate and few complications after surgery. Therefore, it is a safe, accurate, and effective fixation mode that is worthy of being popularized clinically.
Progressive pseudorheumatoid dysplasia confirmed by whole-exon sequencing in a Chinese adult before corrective surgery.

Our study illustrated a surgical outcome of PPD and highlighted the significance of early diagnosis and individualized surgical strategy, and also verified the value of WES in the diagnosis of PPD.
Where should Kirschner wires be placed when fixing patella fracture with modified tension-band wiring? A finite element analysis.
J Orthop Surg Res
Jan, 2019
The SP of K-wires plays a role in the function of MTBW in the surgical management of transverse patella fracture. At 45° knee flexion, posteriorly placed (close to the articular surface) K-wires enable optimal stability and stress for the fracture, which provides basis for the positioning of K-wires in clinical practice.
Risk factors associated with cardiac complication after total joint arthroplasty of the hip and knee: a systematic review.
J Orthop Surg Res
Jan, 2019
Increasing age and history of cardiac disease increases the risk of cardiac complication after total hip arthroplasty and total knee arthroplasty. Other risk factors commonly attributed to increased risk in non-cardiac surgery including hypertension and obesity require further evaluation in arthroplasty.
The levels of urine CTX-II, C2C, and PYD in children patients with Kashin-Beck disease in Qinghai Province of China.
J Orthop Surg Res
Jan, 2019
Both CTX-II and PYD in urine could be used as biomarkers for early diagnosis of pediatric KBD, and the prediction accuracy of CTX-II was relatively superior.

Osteoconductive resorption characteristics of a novel biocomposite suture anchor material in rotator cuff repair.
J Orthop Surg Res
Jan, 2019
PGLA/β-TCP/CS is a fully resorbable and osteoconductive suture anchor material that seems to have superior resorption characteristics compared to those of other bioabsorbable suture anchor materials commonly used in arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.
Early postoperative complications and discharge time in diabetic patients undergoing total shoulder arthroplasty.
J Orthop Surg Res
Jan, 2019
Diabetic patients are at a higher risk for readmission and non-routine discharge compared to non-diabetics. Despite no increased risk in SSI, longer postoperative discharge time in diabetics should be considered in TSA planning.
