BACKGROUND: The optimal duration of antibiotic treatment for hematogenous vertebral osteomyelitis (HVO) should be based on the patient's risk of recurrence, but it is not well established. METHODS: A retrospective review was conducted to evaluate the optimal duration of antibiotic treatment in patients with HVO at low and high risk of recurrence. Patients with at least 1 independent baseline risk factor for recurrence, determined by multivariable analysis, were considered as high risk and those

The retear rate of repaired rotator cuff tendon was about 57.8%. Independent prognostic factors of retear were degree of tendon retraction and AHI on preoperative MR images.

BACKGROUND: Numerous studies have shown preoperative fatty infiltration of rotator cuff muscles to be strongly negatively correlated with the successful repair of massive rotator cuff tears (RCTs). PURPOSE: To assess the association between factors identified on preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), especially infraspinatus fatty infiltration, and the reparability of massive RCTs. STUDY DESIGN: Case-control study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS: We analyzed a total of 105 patients with m

BACKGROUND: Patients with hematogenous vertebral osteomyelitis (HVO) occasionally require instrumentation for spinal stabilization. However, placing instrumentation in the setting of spinal infection raises concerns about recurrent infection due to bacteria adhering to the foreign material. In this study, we evaluated the therapeutic outcomes of patients with HVO who underwent instrumented surgery. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective chart review of adult patients with microbiologically diagno

Active knee positioning in the knee surface coil changed the degree of meniscal flounce and the meniscal location on the tibial plateau. The meniscal flounce is thought to be a transient physiologic distortion and may be related to meniscal locations on the tibial plateau. It may be changed by varying the knee position.

SWE and SE indicated that SST and IST were stiffer in patients with ACS than in those with normal shoulders regardless of aging.

Unilateral lumbar spondylolysis displayed radiologic differences in morphology of the isthmic defect itself and in ancillary findings of the adjacent structures based on the segment involved. Recognition of different ancillary features of unilateral spondylolysis with the use of a feasible diagnostic tool can be helpful for the diagnosis of cases in which a direct sign of isthmic defect is equivocal.

ABSTRACT Intravenous lobular capillary hemangiomas are extremely uncommon and mostly occur in the veins of the neck and upper extremities. Here, we report the clinical and sonographic features of an intravenous lobular capillary hemangioma localized in the right cephalic vein, and we discuss its pathologic findings and differential diagnoses. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
