Comparison of gait biomechanics in patients with and without knee osteoarthritis during different phases of gait
ConclusionThe largest mechanical changes are seen in the first phase of gait in osteoarthritic patients. Although COP is an easy to measure tool, it is not as sensitive as KAA and did not demonstrate a significant difference between healthy and medial OA patients.中 文 摘 要背景本研究旨在表徵膝關節內收角(KAA)和膝關節內收力矩(KAM),並將其與有和沒有膝關節骨性關節炎 (OA) 的志願者的腳部壓力中心(COP)進行比較。方法招收108名受試者; 84例未見病理、18例有內側膝關節骨性關節炎、6例有外側膝關節骨性關節炎。 使用線性回歸...

Management Approach of Penetrating Vertebral Artery Injury With Concomitant Cervical Nerve Root Injury in Regional Hospital: Report of Two Cases
We present two cases of penetrating vertebral artery injury with concomitant cervical nerve root injury managed in our centre. The first case was a young gentleman who suffered from neck injury by broken metal fragment. Cervical nerve root injury was suspected preoperatively. Massive bleeding from vertebral artery was encountered during wound exploration. It was managed by ligation, followed by retrograde endovascular embolisation. The second case was a young lady being assaulted with knife and fork over the neck. She was also suspected to have cervical nerve root injury preoperatively. Vascular control of vertebral artery...

Bilateral Charcot hip arthropathy due to tabes dorsalis: A case report: 因脊髓癆而導致雙邊髖關節邊夏柯氏神經骨關節病變 – 病例報告
This article illustrates the clinical course of a patient diagnosed to have bilateral Charcot hip arthropathy secondary to tabes dorsalis from delayed untreated syphilitic infection. This differential diagnosis of rapid bilateral hip destruction was a near-extinct entity, and a high index of suspicion is needed to prevent untoward sequelae.摘 要本篇文章描述了一位受梅毒感染而未經治療,繼而患有脊髓癆而導致雙邊夏柯氏神經髖關節病變。同樣的病例在現今雖然近乎絕跡,但我們更應對這種病變提高警覺,盡早診斷,以免出現嚴重的後果。 (Source: Journal of Ort...

Os intermetatarseum may not interfere with metatarsus primus varus deformity correction: A case report: 蹠骨不一定妨礙第一蹠骨內翻矯正的病例報告
Publication date: December 2018Source: Journal of Orthopaedics, Trauma and Rehabilitation, Volume 25Author(s): Daniel Y. WuAbstractIt has been believed that the correction of metatarsus primus varus (MPV) deformity of hallux valgus foot using nonosteotomy procedures would be compromised by the presence of os intermetatarseum (OI). Therefore, no soft tissue procedure has ever been reported for the correction of MPV deformity of hallux valgus foot.This is a case report of a female patient with bilateral hallux valgus deformity and also a large OI of her left foot that was corrected, satisfactorily and simultaneously, with a ...

Delayed tibial-platform periprosthetic stress fracture after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty: Uncommon and devastating complication
Publication date: December 2018Source: Journal of Orthopaedics, Trauma and Rehabilitation, Volume 25Author(s): Yuk-Wah Hung, Jason Chi-Ho Fan, Carson Ka-Bon Kwok, Ellis Lok-Fai Wong, Carman Ka-Man LoAbstractPeriprosthetic fracture around total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a well-described complication. Yet, report of medial tibial plateau stress fracture after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is limited. One case of delayed stress fracture of medial tibial plateau after UKA, which was salvaged by conversion to TKA was reported. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report related to Zimmer Unicompartmental ...

The “Sign of Horns” deformity following the Thompson's approach to the proximal radius—A rare case report and literature review
We report to you a case of isolated paralysis of EDC following the Thompson's approach in a 14-year-old boy who recovered completely on the 5th postoperative day. Each of the approaches to the proximal radius poses a risk of damage to the posterior interosseous nerve and its branches because of traction. Damage may occur during exposure or implant insertion. Any surgery around the supinator and the radial tunnel region is dangerous because of complex anatomy, lack of intermuscular planes and varying distribution of the radial nerve. Avoiding excessive posterior or ulnar retraction of the EDC and improper dissection can avo...

Does Conservative Rehabilitation Program Lead to Long-Term Stiffness after Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair?: 關節鏡修復肩袖後,保守康復方案會導致長期僵硬嗎?
ConclusionsImmobilization for 4 weeks to 6 weeks after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair does not result in long-term stiffness and may even be beneficial to cuff tendon healing.中 文 摘 要背景關於關節鏡修復肩袖的理想康復方案缺乏證據,大多數數據和結果是矛盾而沒有達成共識。本研究目的是以香港中國人,以積極方案即時術後可動範圍運動和較保守的早期運動限制方案作比較.材料與方法我們回顧性評估了關節鏡修復肩袖37例,採用標準化的延遲康復方案,避免術後4至6周內的可動範圍被動活動。手術後3個月...

Clinical, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, and Arthroscopic Correlation in Anterior Cruciate Ligament and Meniscal Injuries of the Knee: 膝關節前交叉韌帶和半月板損傷的臨床、磁共振成像和關節鏡的相關性
ConclusionIn conclusion, the present study supports that clinical diagnosis is of primary necessity, as the positive predictive value is high for all the lesions. MRI is an additional diagnosing tool for ligament and meniscal injuries of the knee. Routine use of MRI to confirm the diagnosis is not indicated, as the positive predictive value is low, but can be used to exclude pathology, as the negative predictive value is high for all the lesions.中 文 摘 要背景研究的目的是比較和相關膝關節前交叉韌帶和半月板損傷的臨床、磁共振成像和關節鏡檢查結果。方法從2014年9月至2016年...
