Abstract

Objectives

This study aimed to compare the effects of different intra-articular injections using a mixture of hyaluronic acid (HA) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) versus hyaluronic acid and corticosteroid in the management of TMJ internal derangement with reduction.

Materials and Methods

Sixty patients were randomly divided into two equal groups. Group I was injected with hyaluronic acid and PRP, while group II was injected with hyaluronic acid and corticosteroid. Pain intensity according to the visual analogue scale, maximum inter-incisal opening (MIO), lateral movement, and joint sound were measured pre-operatively and at 1 week, 1 month, and 6 months post-operatively.

Results

MIO and lateral movements were improved in both groups, with a reduction in the number of patients suffering from clicking sounds along the follow-up periods with no significant difference between the studied groups. However, regarding pain, the group injected with HA and PRP achieved the best results after 6 months, while patients treated with HA and corticosteroids obtained the best results at the end of the 1st week.

Conclusion

Hyaluronic acid and platelet-rich plasma mixture performed better than hyaluronic acid and corticosteroid in the treatment of TMJ internal derangement with reduction at the long-term follow-up regarding pain intensity.

Neu im Fachgebiet Chirurgie

Aortenaneurysma operieren reicht nicht!

Auch nach operativer Sanierung eines Aortenaneurysmas ist die Mortalität der Betroffenen gegenüber der Allgemeinbevölkerung deutlich erhöht. Beim Internisten-Update forderte eine Angiologin, kardiovaskuläre Risikofaktoren weiter im Blick zu behalten.

Das deutsche Gesundheitssystem kränkelt und hat Fieber

OECD und Europäische Kommission haben zusammen einen Bericht zum Zustand der europäischen Gesundheitssysteme herausgegeben. Diagnose für Deutschland: Wäre das Land ein menschliches Wesen, würde man es wohl krankschreiben.

In der Chirurgie passieren weiterhin vermeidbare Fehler

Chirurgische Eingriffe bleiben für Patientinnen und Patienten risikobehaftet. Eine US-amerikanische Studie zeigt, dass bei 38% der stationär aufgenommenen Erwachsenen, die sich einer Operation unterzogen, unerwünschte Ereignisse auftraten – zwei Drittel davon wurden als potenziell vermeidbar eingestuft.

Komponentenseparation führt zu weniger Hernienrezidiven

Die operative Technik der Komponentenseparation zum Verschluss von Bauchwandhernien geht mit einem geringeren Rezidivrisiko einher als ein Hernienverschluss ohne dieses spezielle Vorgehen, wie eine US-Studie demonstriert hat.
