Umile Giuseppe Longo,Mattia Loppini,Alessandra Berton,Luca Laverde,Nicola Maffulli,Nicola Maffulli,Vincenzo Denaro +6 more
TL;DR: A comprehensive search of studies addressing the assessment of sacroiliac joint (SIJ) after lumbar spinal fusion surgery on PubMed, OVID/Medline, Cochrane, CINAHL, Google scholar and Embase found no definitive estimation about the prevalence of degenerative changes of the SIJ after fusion surgery can be provided.

TL;DR: Patients with PTT matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) and MMP-8 gene polymorphisms presented an increase of the collagen III and V ratio, suggesting that the higher proportion in degenerated tendons could contribute to a decrease in the mechanical resistance of the tissue.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
Early functional outcome after subvastus or parapatellar approach in knee arthroplasty is comparable.
TL;DR: It is puzzling why, despite prior knowledge, the authors still felt it pertinent to study functional differences at only 12 week follow-up, and it may be possible that the power calculated for the study was not sufficient to detect any changes in the secondary outcome measures at the time points chosen.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of the sports and exercise medicine physician in the National Health Service: a questionnaire-based survey
TL;DR: Several areas of agreement were demonstrated across the specialties, many of which matched the views of policy makers, and was the first to investigate this issue since SEM was recognised as a specialty in 2005.
