The purpose of this retrospective study was to analyse the complications of our arthroscopic procedures at the ankle joint. In all patients we evaluated the treatment protocols and in 111 patients (79.3%) we also evaluated the clinical and radiologic results. All in all we have found complications in 14 patients. In 4 cases we have seen a delayed wound healing, in 2 cases a superficial infection, in 3 cases a deep infection, in 3 cases a neural damage and in 2 cases a phlebothrombosis. Our study show, that the complication rate could be minimized by detailed knowledge of the anatomy, exact preoperative diagnostic and planing of the operation and careful preparation of the portals. The use of a laser also shows a tendency to a lower complication rate.
The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of biodegradable interference screw use in ACL reconstruction beyond the usual clinical historical and physical findings. The use of this material for interference screws has potential benefits if the problems of inflammation are minimal and the fixation properties are sufficient. There is no need for a second operation for removal and no complicating factor if revision surgery is necessary. A prospective study was initiated in May, 1993 to evaluate the use of biodegradable interference screws (Instrument Makar). Our patients were evaluated with the aid of the common OAK-score. The overall evaluation showed 89.5% excellent and good results, 7% fair results and 3.5% poor results. The average score was 90.7 points (63-100 points). The measurement with the arthrometer (KT 1000) showed a difference of up to 3 mm as compared to the knee joint not operated on in 24 (93%) of the patients. Four patients showed a 3 to 6 mm difference. A tibia translation of more than 4 mm was not measured in any case. The biodegradable interference screw is a safe and effective interference screw for fixation of the bone blocks for ACL reconstruction.
All Charcot feet treated between 2004 and 2014 were Sanders type II or III. A bony fusion was achieved in 50 % of the cases, 26 % had a functional pseudoarthrosis with intact implants and pain-free mobility, and 22 % showed no healing with broken implants. Conclusion Internal fixation with locking plates is superior to screw fixation only with regard to biomechanics. We prefer internal fixation plates to external fixation because of stability even in the case of pseudoathrosis and because of the learning curve.
By means of microCT we were able to visualize and quantify the extent of cortical porosity for the first time in high resolution. The data suggest that both cortical fractures and cortical porosity play an important role in the pathogenesis in cases of Charcot foot.
Semakin berkembangnya zaman, karya sastra pun ikut berkembang. Karya sastra yang biasanya berbentuk tulis dapat bertransformasi menjadi sebuah audio visual. Perubahan karya sastra menjadi bentuk audio visual ini termasuk ke dalam ekranisasi. Ekranisasi merupakan sebuah proses perubahan sebuah novel atau karya sastra ke dalam film. Seperti halnya pada cerpen yang berjudul Telekung Buat Emak karya Musa Ismail yang diangkat menjadi sebuah film pendek. Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu untuk mengupas proses ekranisasi cerpen Telekung Buat Emak yang bertransformasi menjadi sebuah film pendek. Proses yang akan dikaji yaitu mulai dari pemotongan, penambahan, maupun perubahan variasi cerpen yang notabene merupakan sebuah karya tulis sampai menjadi sebuah karya audio visual. Metode yang digunakan pada penelitian ini yaitu metode deskriptif komparatif. Hasil dari penelitian menunjukan bahwa alur pada film pendek masih mempertahankan naskah aslinya yaitu cerpen. Adapun sedikit perubahan adalah untuk mempertegas atau membuat jalan cerita lebih realistis.
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.
