[Surgical treatment of unstable fracture-dislocations of the proximal interphalangeal joint].
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the results of surgical treatment of unstable fracture-dislocations of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint. ⋯ Treatment of fracture-dislocations of the PIP joint yields successful results with mini screws in early cases or appropriate injuries, and with soft tissue reconstruction with or without mini screws in late-presenting patients or unfavorable injuries.

Randomized Controlled Trial[The use of arthroscopic debridement and viscosupplementation in knee osteoarthritis].
We investigated the effectiveness of arthroscopic debridement followed by viscosupplementation using different hyaluronic acid (HA) products in selected patients with knee osteoarthritis. ⋯ Our results suggest that arthroscopic debridement combined with viscosupplementation is an effective treatment option for selected patients with knee osteoarthritis.
