Cryolipolysis body contouring evidence for Knee fat

Abstract summary (English) BACKGROUND: Effectiveness of cryotherapy in the rehabilitation of joint arthroplasty remains controversial. Our systematic review was to evaluate application of cryotherapy following total joint arthroplasty on outcome measures related to rehabilitation exercise. METHODS: PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, and CIHAHL, Grey literature, and other relevant databases for randomized controlled trials were...

Journal Article, Systematic Review, Meta-Analysis

Abstract summary (English) This study sought to (a) compare and contrast the effect of 2 commonly used cryotherapy treatments, 4 min of -110 °C whole body cryotherapy and 8 °C cold water immersion, on knee skin temperature and (b) establish whether either protocol was capable of achieving a skin temperature (<13 °C) believed to be required for analgesic purposes. After ethics committee approval and written informed consent was obtained, 10...

Comparative Study, Journal Article, Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract summary (English) OBJECTIVE: The authors asked the following research questions: will an anterior knee infusion model induce constant pain? will perceived pain alter motoneuron pool (MNP) excitability? and will treatments alter perceived pain and/or MNP excitability?

Journal Article, Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract summary (English) PURPOSE: To obtain in vivo data about intra- and extra-articular knee temperatures to assess the effectiveness of two cryotherapeutic methods-conventional cooling with gel-packs and computer controlled cryotherapy following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructive surgery. METHODS: Twenty patients were arbitrarily assigned for cryotherapy after ACL reconstruction: 8 patients with frozen gel-packs and 12...

Abstract summary (English) BACKGROUND: Synchronous multicentric osteosarcoma (SMOS) is a rare disease characterized by simultaneous multicentricity of intraosseous osteosarcoma without visceral involvement. SMOS, including a skull lesion, which occurs relatively rarely, and reconstruction using a frozen autograft after the excision of a lesion of SMOS has been infrequently reported previously. CASE PRESENTATION: We report an 18-year-old girl...

Abstract summary (English) Morel-Lavallée syndrome is a trauma that remains rare and whose management is not yet standardized. It is a closed delamination between the fascia superficialis and the cutaneous-subcutaneous tissue. This empty space is filled with fluid and may be complicated by surinfection and tissue necrosis.

Abstract summary (English) BACKGROUND: Giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) is a benign yet locally aggressive tumor that often affects young adults around the knee. Intralesional curettage with adjuvants reduces recurrence but complications remain. Freezing nitrogen ethanol composite (FNEC), a semi-solid cryogen, has emerged as a novel adjunct with promising early results.

Journal Article

Abstract summary (English) PURPOSE: To report an uncommon complication of distal hamstring icing, cryotherapy-induced common peroneal nerve palsy. CASE SUMMARY: A 22-year-old football player applied ice to his distal hamstring for 20 min because of soreness. This application of ice resulted in foot drop and sensory changes in the anterior lower leg and dorsum of the foot.

Case Reports, Journal Article

Abstract summary (English) We recorded temperature changes on the skin surface, subcutaneously and intra-articularly during cryotherapy after knee surgery by using Cryo-cuff compression dressings. Subcutaneous recordings on the contralateral knee were used as reference. 8 patients were examined.
