  • Extracorporeal Shock Waves in the Treatment of Pseudarthrosis, Tendinosis Calcarea of the Shoulder, and Calcaneal Spur
    Extracorporeal Shock Waves in Orthopaedics, 1998
    Co-Authors: R. Diesch, G Haupt
    Abstract:

    The introduction of extracorporeal shock waves for the treatment of urolithiasis revolutionized urinary stone therapy [1, 2]. Further applications have included stones elsewhere in the body, such as gall bladder, pancreas, and salivary glands [3–5]. We have evaluated the effect on shock waves on wound and fracture healing in experimental models since 1986 and confirmed for the first time the osteogenetic potential of shock waves [6–8].

  • use of extracorporeal shock waves in the treatment of pseudarthrosis tendinopathy and other orthopedic diseases
    The Journal of Urology, 1997
    Co-Authors: G Haupt
    Abstract:

    AbstractPurpose: The use of shock waves in orthopedic diseases was reviewed with special regard to the clinical applications.Materials and Methods: Findings in the literature and results from our own studies were analyzed and summarized.Results: Extracorporeal shock waves induced osteoneogenesis in animal models with intact and fractured bones. Based on these findings shock waves were used for the treatment of pseudarthrosis in humans. Most patients had at least 1 unsuccessful operation before shock wave therapy. Complete reunion was noted in 62 to 91% of cases and shock waves are recommended by some as the first choice of treatment for hypertrophic pseudarthrosis.After failed nonoperative therapy shock waves were used for the treatment of patients with various diseases as secondary treatment. The success rate for treatment of tendinopathies, such as tennis elbow, periarthritis humeroscapularis or Calcaneal Spur, was approximately 80%. For calcific tendinitis shock wave therapy seems to be superior to all...

  • Shock wave treatment in orthopedics
    Der Urologe. Ausg. A, 1997
    Co-Authors: G Haupt
    Abstract:

    Extracorporeal shock waves have revolutionized urological stone treatment. Nowadays shock waves are widely used in orthopedics, too. This article reviews the applications of extracorporeal shock waves on bone and adjacent soft tissue. The osteoneogenetic effect of extracorporeal shock waves has been proven and can be used to treat pseudarthrosis with a success rate of around 75 %. Shock waves have a positive effect in tennis and golfer's elbow, Calcaneal Spur, and the complex called “periarthritis humeroscapularis.” The mechanism for this is not yet known, and results from large prospective and randomized studies are still lacking. However, the treatment has been performed many thousands of times. In patients in whom conservative treatment has failed surgery used to be the only choice, but its success rate barely exceeds that of shock wave therapy and surgery can still be done if shock wave therapy fails. Extracorporeal shock waves will have an impact on orthopedics comparable to its effect in urology. Scientific evaluations, professional certifications, quality assurance and reimbursement issues present great challenges.

  • Increased Calcaneal Spur Frequency in Patients with Obesity and Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus
    Türkiye Fiziksel Tip ve Rehabilitasyon Dergisi, 2014
    Co-Authors: Aydogan Aydogdu, Halil Akbulut, Tolga Ege, Ilker Tasci, Derun Ertugrul, Umit Aydogan, Abdullah Taslipinar, Oktay Sari, Alper Sonmez, Muhittin A. Serdar
    Abstract:

    Objective: Obesity is a risk factor for Calcaneal Spur (CS) formation. Diabetes mellitus may contribute to the risk of CS due to the decreased ability of tissue repair and peripheral neuropathy. Thus, we aimed to determine the frequency of CS in asymptomatic obese subjects with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Also, we tried to find the related factors of CS in patients with T2DM. Material and Methods: Ninety-three obese patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and 42 obese control subjects without glucose metabolism disturbances were enrolled in the study. A questionnaire was made about the duration of T2DM, age, and occupations of the participants. Physical, laboratory, and x-ray examinations of all cases were made. SPSS 15.0 was used for statistical analyses. Results: Patients with T2DM and control groups were similar in mean age and body mass index (BMI) (p=0.196, p=0.073, respectively). The existence of CS in the T2 diabetic group was significantly higher than in the control group (p=0.023). T2 diabetic patients with CS had significantly higher neuropathy existence, mean age, and BMI than T2 diabetic patients without CS (p=0.001, p=0.016, p=0.043, respectively). There was a positive correlation between the existence of CS and peripheral neuropathy and age (p=0.025, p=0.001, respectively). Conclusion: Increased ratio of CS in obese T2 diabetic patients may be important because of the relation between CS existence and complications of diabetes mellitus. Clinicians should pay more attention to increased frequency of CS in patients with T2DM, to avoid diabetic foot complications and other malformations.
