In the period from 1984 till 2020 many children with scoliosis have been observed (N-2500). During this time all information about etiology, classification, new therapy and causal prophylaxis has been provided. The principle information about the subject was found in the years 1995-2007. The etiology of AIS is strictly biomechanical and is connected with asymmetry of the hips movements and next with the function of the hips and the spine. Scoliosis develops because of “permanent standing ‘at ease’ on the right leg” and in some types connected with “gait”. As causative influence: “standing” and “gait” is in “S” scoliosis in the 1st etiopathological group (epg), only “standing” in “C” 2nd / A epg and “S” 2nd / B epg group / type, in “I” 3 rd epg type of scoliosis only “gait”.","PeriodicalId":192630,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Orthopaedics Research","volume":"434 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115866124","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"Effect of Prednicarbate On the Hyper Proliferation of the Granulation Tissue of Traumatic Wounds During Directed Healing: A Prospective Observational Study","authors":"","doi":"10.33140/ijor.03.03.06","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.33140/ijor.03.03.06","url":null,"abstract":"Background: The directed scarring of traumatic wounds in a surgical department often encounters drifts. During the proliferation phase, the granulation tissue can become excessive, blocking re-epithelialization and dooming a skin graft. To cope with this, healthcare teams often use topical corticosteroids such as Prednicarbate which is a nonhalogenated corticosteroid which does not pass into the systemic circulation. Purpose: The aim of this study is to describe the in vivo effect of Prednicarbate on the hyper proliferation of granulation tissue in trauma wounds and burns during directed scarring. Methods: A prospective observational study was carried out on patients admitted consecutively to the Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery Department of Aristide le Dantec Hospital in Dakar. The application of 0.25% prednicarbate was twice daily on the hyperprofiltration areas of the wound bed of consenting patients. Demographic, clinical, therapeutic data and changes in granulation tissue were collected. Results: 12 patients participated with an average age 41.5 ± 18.94 years and a female to male sex ratio of 3/1. Domestic accidents were the most common wound occurrence in 7 cases. After at least 3 applications, the modifications observed were as follows: the proportion of hyper-budding surface was reduced by 3% on average. In 8 cases, the bed turned pink, with a texture changing from smooth to granite in 10 cases. A regression of the edema of the bed was observed in all the cases and the level of the bed of the wound which initially known epidermal, became epidermal in 10 cases. In 10 cases, the start of epidermal migration was observed from the skin edges. In 9 cases, or 75% of cases, it took just 1 tube to see a reduction in granulation tissue. Conclusion: Prednicarbate is a non-halogenated corticosteroid which is of interest in reducing the excessive proliferation of granulation tissue in traumatic wounds. By normalizing the level of granulation tissue, it promotes epidermal migration and the epithelialization phase.","PeriodicalId":192630,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Orthopaedics Research","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132286768","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is also defined as Freiberg’s disease. It is an uncommon syndrome whose etiology combines potential developmental anomalies, biomechanical stresses or traumatic events, subchondral fracture and vascular injury. The second metatarsal head is the most commonly involved. The disease is much more common in females and athletes. The diagnosis is based on the clinical findings and is confirmed with plain radiographs. On physical examination, the palpable swelling, the discomfort and the motion restriction are well localized at the affected metatarsophalangeal joint. The history may be one of exacerbations and remissions, with pain aggravated by activity and relieved by rest. However, in a group of patients the disorder escapes diagnosis, until the foot is radiographically examined for a totally different reason. Radiographically, the metatarsal head may have a flattened, enlarged appearance with areas of increased sclerosis, fragmentation and collapse, resulting in incongruity of the joint surface. In the long-standing disease, the affected metatarsophalangeal joint may be narrowed and prominent secondary degenerative changes may be evident. The goal of treatment is early identification and conservative treatment of the patient, to allow bone healing and prevent rapid progression to osteoarthritis. No operative treatment modalities are effective in the early stages but surgical intervention is usually required in the late stages of the disease. The purpose of this editorial is to retrospectively review the incidence of osteonecrosis of the lesser metatarsal heads in children and adults referred at our institution and to review the relevant publications.","PeriodicalId":192630,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Orthopaedics Research","volume":"22 12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123422924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
