Background. Current evidence based research data lead to reassessment of traditional approaches for treatment of patients with bone and joint disorders especially knee osteoarthritis (OA). The purpose of the study was to review randomized clinical trials (RCT) and meta-analyses of RCT as well as recent guidelines of professional societies for application of arthroscopic lavage, debridement and meniscectomy in knee OA. Materials and Methods. Databases PubMed, e-LIBRARY, EMBASE (Ovid), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) were searched for the period from 2000 till 2019. From 138 heats irrelevant and poor quality studies were excluded. In total there were 1614 patients aged 48,9–62,8 in RCT and 20 770 patients aged 42–62,4 in meta-analyses of RCT. Results. Both arthroscopic lavage and debridement do not lead to significant pain relief as well as functional improvement in long term therefore are not recommended. Nonsurgical treatment should be the first line strategy in patients with early and moderate knee OA even with degenerative meniscal tears irrespective of mechanical symptoms like painful locking, catching or sudden giving way. Arthroscopy might be performed only if complex non-surgical treatment including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, structured exercises program and intra-articular injections failed after 3 months in patients without ‘bone on bone’ cartilage erosions and frontal malalignment or if the knee is mechanically locked due to bucked handle type meniscus tear or loose body. Conclusion. Evidence based medicine approach let us to conclude that arthroscopy in knee OA is non-efficient and rarely indicated therefore if proper non-surgical treatment is failed around the knee osteotomies and partial or total arthroplasty should be considered.
Summary: In 2018-2019. Between ages 6 to 18, there are 642 schoolchildren living in the city of Bukhara, dentofacial anomalies and deformations, as well as the spread of temporomandibular diseases caused by them, were identified. Maxillofacial anomalies and deformations were observed among children in Bukhara city with a frequency of 57.5%, of which 36.4% were dentomaxillary anomalies. About 642 children were observed and 298 of them were revealed with bad habits, including 52 (8.1%) children with respiratory failure (from mouth) and 67 (10.4%) children with impaired pronunciation.
Abstract The purpose of the study - to find out surgical intervention features, the function restoration dynamics and clinical results after primary total knee replacement (TKA) in patients with a history of osteosynthesis of intra-articular fractures, to assess the risk of complications and to suggest measures for their prevention. Material and methods. The study includes a retrospective (100 observations) and prospective (40 observations) comparative analysis of the results of primary TKA in patients with a history of osteosynthesis of intra-articular fractures (MOS) of the bones forming the knee joint (main group) and without them (comparison group). Adapted Russian-language versions of the KSS, WOMAC and FJS-12 score scales were used to study the clinical and functional results of the TKA, the incidence of any complications after arthroplasty and the X-ray position of the endoprosthesis components on the KRESS scale were evaluated. Statistical analysis of the data obtained was carried out in accordance with generally accepted methods. Results. Statistically significant differences were revealed between the patients of the main and the comparison groups according to the following indicators: the patients of the main group were 8 years younger, the duration of the operation time, the volume of intraoperative blood loss, the need for implantation of structures with an increased degree of mechanical coupling between the components of the endoprosthesis, the number of postoperative complications were greater in the patients of the main group. Functional results on the KSS and WOMAC scales did not have statistically significant and clinically differences, when assessing the satisfaction of TKA on the FJS-12 scale, statistically significantly worse results were obtained in the main group. TKA in patients with a history of MOS for intraarticular fractures of the knee joint area statistically and clinically significantly increased the amplitude of movements in the knee joint - from 89 to 108 , that is, by 19 , the function recovery dynamics according to the KSS, WOMAC and FJS-12 scales was slowed down at 3 and 6 months, and according to the WOMAC and FJS-12 scales and by 12 months after surgery. Conclusion. The trauma and subsequent surgical treatment of intra-articular fractures of the knee joint leads to an earlier development of posttraumatic arthritis of the 3rd degree, functional results have no statistically significant differences, satisfaction with the results of TKA in this category of patients is less, and the number of postoperative complications, are greater. A history of MOS significantly slows down the dynamics and degree of recovery of function in the early postoperative period.
