Both autografts provided good to excellent subjective outcomes. No significant differences were noted in graft failure and clinical instability. However, significantly more patients in the STG group had increased instrumented anteroposterior translation measured with KT-1000 arthrometer, and there was a greater prevalence of knee OA at 17 years after surgery in the PT group.
Despite advances in care, morbidity and mortality in elderly patients after major trauma remains considerably higher than in younger populations with head injuries accounting for the majority of fatalities. The elderly patient population in this study mostly suffered from blunt mechanisms of injury, with simple falls representing a high proportion of injury mechanisms. Generally, the injury severity scale (ISS) in the elderly is not statistically higher than with the younger population. Likewise, the distribution of injuries according to body regions is also similar; however, the elderly are more prone to complications (e. g. sepsis and MOF), which is likely due to a lower physiological reserves.
The Criteria for activation of coagulation support treatment remain centre dependent. In our settings the CPM is the tool to select patients for ROTEM analysis. By adding data from blood gas analysis, treatment of coagulopathy is justifiable before complete test results are available.
Vstavitev totalne kolčne endoproteze je ena od najpogostejših in najuspešnejših ortopedskih operacij z visokim deležem zadovoljnih bolnikov. Število vstavljenih kolčnih endoprotez po svetu iz leta v leto narašča, vse večji je tudi delež mlajših operirancev. Po posegu bolniki v večini lahko nadaljujejo vsakodnevne aktivnosti, primerne svoji starosti in telesni zmogljivosti. Z dokazi opredeljena jasna navodila in smernice, katerih športnih aktivnosti naj bolniki po operaciji ne bi izvajali, se še niso oblikovala. Kirurgi se ravnajo po posameznih priporočilih in osebnih izkušnjah. Z retrospektivno opazovalno pilotsko raziskavo smo preverili izvajanje športnih aktivnosti pred in več kot eno leto po vstavitvi totalne kolčne endoproteze pri slovenskih bolnikih, mlajših od 60 let. Analizirali smo vprašalnika Harris Hip Score (HHS) in University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), ki so ju preiskovanci izpolnili pred operacijo in več kot 1 leto po njej. Pred operacijo se je večina slovenskih preiskovancev omejevala na nizko stopnjo aktivnosti; kar 62 % iz te podskupine je bilo po operaciji sposobnih zmernih obremenitev (plavanje, ples, hoja v hribe, golf, balinanje, hišna opravila), 15 % pa je celo doseglo visoke stopnje aktivnosti (tenis, smučanje, delo na kmetiji, kontaktni športi).Čeprav je smiselno, da se držimo določenih priporočil, bi vsakemu bolniku morali individualno svetovati glede športnega udejstvovanja po posegu, glede na njegovo predoperativno ukvarjanje z različnimi športi in želeno stopnjo aktivnosti po operaciji.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
