LOCAL INJECTION OF HUMAN DENTAL PULP STEM CELLS FOR TREATMENT OF JUVENILE AVASCULAR NECROSIS OF THE FEMORAL HEAD: PRELIMINARY RESULTS IN IMMATURE PIGS.

Introduction: Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease is a major cause of hip joint deformities in children. Currently, experimental research is directed at investigating biological therapies, including the use of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSC), which have not yet been studied for this purpose in swine models. This study aimed to evaluate whether local injection of hDPSC induces bone mineralization in the proximal femoral epiphysis in an experimental model of avascular necrosis of the femoral head in immature pigs.

Do we need to dislocate the femoral head? A retrospective comparison of unstable slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) cohorts treated by two variations of the modified Dunn procedure.

Purpose: Evaluate a modification of the original modified Dunn technique, for unstable slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE), where the proximal femoral epiphysis is not dislocated from the acetabulum.

Methods: We compared two cohorts of patients with unstable SCFE: one operated with dislocation of the femoral epiphysis (DG) and the other without (NDG). Groups were compared demographically and radiographically.

OSTEOCHONDRITIS DISSECANS OF THE HIP IN LEGG-CALVÉ-PERTHES DISEASE: CASE REPORT AND REVIEW.

Introduction: Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) is the idiopathic osteonecrosis of the capital femoral epiphysis in children. It is a self-healing condition, and the morphology of the hip may vary according to the severity of the disease, among several other factors. The treatment focuses on attempts to prevent femoral head collapse, obtain functional hip motion recovery, and reduce pain.

Evaluation of cardiovascular risk biomarkers after moderate consumption of red wine and cachaça in a randomized crossover trial: The Wine and Cachaça Study (WICAS).

Introduction: Moderate daily consumption of alcohol (MDCA) is associated with cardiovascular risk (CVR) reduction in observational studies. Some researches have suggested that this benefit may be associated not only with red wine consumption but also with other beverages. However, there are no clinical trials evaluating the possible CVR benefit of Brazilian spirit (cachaça) in humans.

EXPERIMENTAL MODEL STUDY OF ISCHEMIC NECROSIS INDUCTION OF THE GROWING FEMORAL HEAD.

Unlabelled: Many experimental models exist to better understand the necrosis of the femoral head etiology, both in terms of the species variety in which necrosis is induced and in the operative techniques used for treatment.

Objective: This study has two main objectives, the first is to review the literature concerning experimental models of avascular necrosis of the growing femoral head, the second, to demonstrate the experimental pig model's reproducibility using a pilot study.

Methods: This was a bibliographic review to describe the attempts over time to find the best species and technique for induction that would reproduce ischemic necrosis of the growing femoral head in humans.

MODIFIED DEGA OSTEOTOMY IN TREATING DEVELOPMENTAL DYSPLASIA OF THE HIP.

Objective: To retrospectively evaluate the preliminary postoperative results of modified Dega-type acetabular osteotomy to treat developmental dysplasia of the hip, confirming the efficacy and reproducibility of this technique.

Methods: This retrospective study included patients older than 18 months. A total of 19 hips underwent modified Dega osteotomy.

MANAGEMENT OF INFANTILE BLOUNT'S DISEASE WITH MOLDED ORTHOSES: A NEW PERSPECTIVE.

Objective: : This retrospective study evaluated treatment with individually contoured molded bracing at early stages of the disease.

Methods: : We evaluated the medical records of patients undergoing treatment of Blount's disease with molded orthoses for medial decompression between 2010 and 2014. The deformity angle (Drennan's metaphyseal-diaphyseal angle) and Langenskiöld classification were measured before and after treatment by a pediatric orthopedic surgeon with over 5 years of practice, blinded for the study and patients.
