Growth plate injury is a debilitating condition for children. To our knowledge, there is currently no systematic review regarding the complication of epiphyseal injury. Thus, the authors would like to conduct a systematic review regarding this topic. The following strategy was used: the terms used on the PubMed search engine were “growth plate injuries complications.” Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were used to perform the comprehensive data collection. The initial PubMed search yielded 341 titles and 81 articles included according to the inclusion criteria, but 20 articles were eliminated according to the exclusion criteria. The final total number of articles was 61. The epiphyseal injury usually ends with a good functional outcome, although some serious complication risk remains.
Introduction: Ligament injuries commonly occur in the knee region, and the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) being the most usually injured. Currently, autograft or allograft is the most common material used for ACL reconstruction surgery. The result of the ACL reconstruction depends on the healing process of the graft or ligamentization between graft and bone tunnel. This study aims to evaluate the effect of Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF) intratunnel injection to stimulates graft healing following ACL reconstruction surgery, as measured by histology examination.
Method: This study was an experimental laboratory study with a post-test-only control group design using male Rattus novergicus. A random sampling procedure was used to choose the sample, which was then divided into two groups. The two groups consist of the control group that only had ACL reconstruction surgery and the treatment group that had reconstruction surgery with SVF administration.
Result: This study used Advanced Ligament Maturity Index (LMI) score and showed a significant improvement of graft healing in the treatment group compared to the control group. The measurement is based on the cellular, collagen, and vascular aspect testing with P < 0,05 for each subscore.
Conclusion: SVF intratunnel injection stimulates graft healing after ACL reconstruction surgery and causes a significant increase in cellular, collagen, and vascular aspects in the graft.
Background:
Osteoporosis is characterized by a low bone mass of bone tissue. If
osteoporosis is not treated properly, it will increase the high risk of
fracture. The common causes of fracture on osteoporosis condition due to
falls. This study aims to find the correlation between the risk of
osteoporosis with fall risk (ONTARIO) based on osteoporosis fracture risk
(FRAX)
Methods:
This study is an analytic study with a cross-sectional method. We collected
the sample using random cluster sampling in the six primary health care in
Malang on different times service since August–September 2021. Total patient
139, however only 132 patients were included in this study. After collecting
data is complete, we analyze using Chi-square tests.
Results:
The mean age of participants was 63.9 ± 7.14. with the age group was
dominated by the range of 60–64. It was found that the result of the FRAX
SCORE had a low-risk category for major fracture osteoporosis and risk hip
fracture. In contrast, from the OSTA score in this study, more than 68
participants (50.8%) were found medium and high-risk scores. Then, in
ONTARIO score of the risk fall assessment, and high score in 57 participants
(43.2%). If compared between OSTA and ONTARIO, there was a significant
relationship between OSTA score and ONTARIO score
(
p
< 0.000) with high-risk OSTA have a significant
relationship with a high risk of falling and vice versa.
Conclusion:
In this study, there was a relationship between the risk of high osteoporosis
and the risk of falling.
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.
