Background: Vacuum-assisted closure therapy is a relatively new concept described in the literature that increases wound-healing capacity. The authors aimed to investigate effect of vacuum-assisted on wound healing, granulation tissue formation, bacterial clearance, pain, time involvement staff, and total costs all types wounds comparison with modern dressings. Methods: Sixty-five patients chronic or acute were randomized initial treatment authors’ primary endpoint was granulated ready for...
Background: Both trapeziectomy with ligament reconstruction and tendon interposition trapeziometacarpal arthrodesis are commonly performed procedures for the treatment of osteoarthritis. The purpose this study was to compare outcomes both treatments symptomatic osteoarthritis thumb joint in a randomized trial. Methods: Women who were forty years age or older either plate screws. Patients evaluated preoperatively at three twelve months postoperatively respect pain, function (Patient-Rated...
Summary: Routine measurement of outcome clinical care is increasingly considered important, but implementation in practice challenging. This article describes (1) how the authors created and implemented a routine cohort patients with hand wrist conditions (2) these data are used to improve quality facilitate scientific research. Starting 2011, was at all sites (currently 22) specialized treatment center for across The Netherlands. developed five “measurement tracks,” including measurements...
Controversy exists about the relative effectiveness of injectable collagenase (collagenase clostridium histolyticum) and limited fasciectomy in treatment Dupuytren's contracture. The authors compared both techniques actual clinical practice.This study evaluated all subjects treated with histolyticum or for metacarpophalangeal and/or proximal interphalangeal joint contractures between 2011 2014 at seven practice sites. degree residual contracture (active extension deficit), Michigan Hand...
Percutaneous needle aponeurotomy is a less invasive surgical alternative to limited fasciectomy for Dupuytren's contracture, but appeared efficacious in previous randomized clinical trial. This study compared the effectiveness of both techniques contemporary practice.The authors evaluated prospectively gathered data from all patients who were treated with percutaneous or between 2011 and 2014 at six hand surgery practice sites The Netherlands. degree total active extension deficit, Michigan...
Although A1 pulley release is an effective treatment to reduce pain and improve hand function, complications may occur. More insight into risk factors for essential patient counseling potentially target modifiable factors. This study aimed identify associated with following release.Patients completed baseline questionnaires, including characteristics, clinical the Michigan Hand outcomes Questionnaire. We retrospectively reviewed medical records classified using International Consortium...
Objective: We hypothesized that the three-ligament tenodesis (3-LT) procedure is still sufficient - even in scapholunate advanced collapse (SLAC) cases to reduce pain and improve wrist function. compared patient-reported outcomes of interosseus ligament (SLIL) injury patients with SLAC SLIL treated 3-LT, then who received proximal row carpectomy (PRC), as a control group. Method: included all traumatic associated components 3-LT completed Patient Reported Wrist Evaluation (PRWE)...
Background: This study examined patient satisfaction with hand function after fasciectomy for Dupuytren’s contracture and determined which preoperative patient- disease-specific factors predicted this satisfaction. Methods: Demographics were assessed from a prospective cohort of 194 patients who completed the Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire preoperatively underwent limited between 2011 2014 at six surgery practice sites. To evaluate function, asked to complete during first year...
Psychological factors such as depression, pain catastrophizing, kinesiophobia, anxiety, and more negative illness perceptions are associated with worse function in patients at the start of treatment for de Quervain's tenosynovitis. Longitudinal studies have found symptoms depression catastrophizing baseline were after treatment. It is important to study opting surgery their condition because should choose surgical based on values rather than misconceptions. patient-reported outcomes from...
Ulna shortening osteotomy (USO) for ulnar impaction syndrome (UIS) aims to improve pain and function by unloading the carpus. Previous studies often lack validated patient-reported outcomes or have small sample sizes. The primary objective of this study was investigate hand at 12 months after USO UIS. Secondary objectives were active range motion, grip strength, complications, whether differed based on etiology.We report 106 patients with UIS who received between 2012 2019. In 44 these...
The discussion on possible side effects of implanted silicone has resulted in a growing number patients inquiring whether or not their mammary prostheses are intact and when failure the is to be expected. Between November 1988 May 1995, 182 had replaced, repositioned, removed one three times. Capsular contraction, dislocation, pain paresthesia, and/or suspected rupture were common indications for surgery. To try able provide an indication as correlation implant age integrity, we recorded...
Background: Although the efficacy of collagenase clostridium histolyticum (CCH) injections has been demonstrated by randomized clinical trials, relative effectiveness CCH remains uncertain. Our aim was to compare outcomes with those percutaneous needle aponeurotomy (PNA) in daily practice. Methods: We analyzed data from patients undergoing PNA or between 2011 and 2014 at 7 practice sites Netherlands. examined degree improvement contracture adverse effects 6–12 weeks after surgery last...
There are multiple studies about the effectiveness of primary treatment in Dupuytren's disease. However, such concerning recurrent disease scarce. Therefore, aim this study was to compare initial and repeated surgery patients with disease.Patients who underwent both were selected from a prospectively maintained database. Outcome measurements consisted finger goniometry, Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire, complications. Treatment defined as improvement extension deficit patient-reported...
This prospective study investigates the extent to which a better experience with healthcare delivery is associated postoperative treatment outcomes after surgery for Dupuytren's contracture. Patients undergoing limited fasciectomy or percutaneous needle fasciotomy contractures completed Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire before and 3 months surgery, together patient reported measure, while hand therapists assessed straightness of finger goniometer. Regression analyses were used examine...
The current guidelines for treatment of carpometacarpal osteoarthritis recommend starting with conservative before a surgical procedure is considered.The objective was to investigate how response treatment, in terms pain and hand function, influences the hazard that patients convert treatment.This multicenter, prospective cohort study.Participants comprised 701 who received 3 months therapy an orthosis. Pain function were measured Michigan Hand Questionnaire (MHQ) at baseline 6 weeks...
