Abstract

Tibial plateau fractures are efficiently treated using arthroscopy when limited to one condyle. Operative technique and early results are now well documented. However, long term results have not been widely reported. The goal of this study was to evaluate clinical and radiological outcomes of arthroscopically treated tibial plateau fractures in the long term. Fourteen out of thirty consecutive cases have been reviewed after more than 4 years post-op (4 to 8 years). The SF8 quality of life score and both IKS and Rasmussen knee function scores have been quoted. Radiological analysis looked at Resnick and Niwoyama osteoarthritis score. Functional knee scores at follow-up were 28.0 (Rasmussen) and 187.4 (IKS) in average. The average SF8 score was 4.64. The SF8 score did not correlated with Rasmussen and IKS scores, but with age. Radiological signs of osteoarthritis were noted in 50.0% of cases, with no relationships with the clinical status. Comparisons with historical long-term studies regarding open reduction and internal fixation show similar outcomes. No specific secondary degenerative problem would alleviate the advantages of the arthroscopic management of tibial plateau fractures in the early post-operative period.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
