Prema literaturi, oko 30% svih operacijskih zahvata u ortopediji u svijetu pripada ugradnji endoproteza velikih zglobova. Sustavno pracenje bolesnika s endoprotezom putem registara u svijetu je postalo uobicajena praksa sredinom 1990-ih godina, i smatra se najucinkovitijom metodom pri ocjeni koje endoproteze i operacijske tehnike primijeniti za određenu populaciju. CILJ: Ispitati kolika je ucestalost ugradnje endoproteza u Republici Hrvatskoj tijekom 2005. godine (kuk, koljeno, rame i drugi zglobovi). MATERIJALI I METODE: Istraživanje ucestalosti ugradnje endoproteza u Hrvatskoj znanstveni je projekt pri Ministarstvu znanosti, obrazovanja i sporta RH. U projekt su pozvane sve zdravstvene ustanove u Hrvatskoj s ortopedskom djelatnoscu, a koje ugrađuju endoproteze.

This study aimed to prospectively investigate the sports-related factors related to IDM and the initiation of IDM among older adolescents. The participants were 436 adolescents (202 females; 16 years old at study baseline). They were tested at baseline and follow-up (two years later). The predictors included variables associated with different facets of sports participation and success in sports. The criteria were (i) baseline IDM, (ii) follow-up IDM, and (iii) initiation of IDM between baseline and follow-up. Crude and adjusted (controlled for parental conflict, age, socioeconomic status, and gender) logistic regressions were applied to establish correlations between predictors and criteria. There were higher odds for baseline IDM in adolescents who quit individual sports (OR: 4.2, 95...

This 2-year prospective study included 436 participants (202 females), who were an average of 16 years old at the beginning of the study (baseline). The participants were tested at baseline and follow-up (20 months later). The predictors included variables of scholastic-achievement (grade point average, school absences, unexcused absences and behavioral grade). The criteria were: (i) IDM at baseline; (ii) IDM at follow-up; and (iii) initiation of IDM over the study course. Results Logistic regression indicated increased odds of IDM in adolescents who were more frequent absent from school (baseline: Odds Ratio (OR): 3.73, 95% Confidence Interval (CI): 2.12⁻6.57; follow-up: OR: 2.91, 95% CI: 1.90⁻4.65). The lower grade point average and more unexcused absences were evidenced for adolescents who consumed...

The subsequent clinical procedures suggested cystic changes in several leg bones, which were later shown to be caused by the parathyroid adenoma. Clinical presentation of the primary hyperparathyroidism can be highly misleading, sometimes causing various clinical procedures before it is certainly diagnosed.
