Proponents of navigated hip arthroplasty have suggested that it may increase the precision of acetabular component placement. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the validity of this theory. We searched, in duplicate, MEDLINE, EMBASE and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials for randomised trials comparing the use of computer navigation with the freehand technique for acetabular cup placement within the desired alignment. We assessed the methodological quality of the studies and abstracted the relevant data. Tests of heterogeneity and publication bias were performed. From the three studies included, there was no evidence of heterogeneity between studies. A total of 250 patients were entered into the analysis. The beneficial odds ratio for the number of outliers was 0.285 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.143 to 0.569; p<0.001). We conclude that navigation in hip arthroplasty improves the precision of acetabular cup placement by decreasing the number of outliers from the desired alignment.Résumé On peut penser que l'utilisation de la navigation au cours des prothèses de hanche va améliorer la précision du positionnement cotyloïdien. Nous avons conduit une étude systématique et une méta analyse de façon à valider cette théorieMéthode : les recherches ont été réalisé sur MEDLINE, EMBASE et COCHRANE, essais randomisés comparant l'utilisation de la navigation et l'utilisation des techniques classiques à main levée. Différents tests statistiques ont été réalisés.Résultat : à partir de 3 études inclues, il n'y a pas de différence entre ces 3 études. Un total de 250 patients ont été analysés, le ratio des hanches en dehors de la moyenne a été de 0,285 (95% CI: 0,143 et 0,569; p<0,001). Nous pouvons affirmer que la navigation au cours de la prothèse totale de hanche permet une meilleure précision du positionnement de la cupule et diminue le nombre de cupules en mauvaise position.
Patients with synovial chondromatosis with hip central compartment loose bodies that were less than 10 mm benefited from hip arthroscopy. Imaging studies alone failed to establish the diagnosis in 14 of 29 patients (48%). Diagnosis was made by direct visualization via arthroscopy. For patients with grade I/II cartilage change, early diagnosis and treatment via arthroscopy helped. It is a valid and effective treatment at early to intermediate follow-up.
Musical hallucinosis is a rare and poorly understood clinical phenomenon. While an association appears to exist between this phenomenon and organic brain pathology, aging and sensory impairment the precise association remains unclear. The authors present two cases of musical hallucinosis, both in elderly patients with mild-moderate cognitive impairment and mild-moderate hearing loss, who subsequently developed auditory hallucinations and in one case command hallucinations. The literature in reference to musical hallucinosis will be reviewed and a theory relating to the development of musical hallucinations will be proposed.
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.
