We retrospectively evaluated the clinical and radiological outcomes of a consecutive cohort patients aged > 70 years with displaced fracture olecranon, which was treated non-operatively early mobilisation. identified 28 such (27 women) mean age 82 (71 to 91). The elbow initially immobilised in an above cast 90° flexion for five days. then replaced by sling. Active mobilisation encouraged as tolerated. No formal rehabilitation undertaken. At follow-up 16 months (12 26), ranges extension were...
To compare the costs of carpal tunnel release (CTR) performed in a minor procedure room using wide awake local anesthesia no tourniquet (WALANT), with (AL-T) and CTR conventional operating (OR) sedation. Additionally, we aimed to assess anesthetic preferences Argentine Association Hand Upper Limb Reconstructive Surgery (AACM) members regarding CTR. This cross-sectional, single-center study involved analyzing specific hospital associated each technique both surgical settings. A report was...
Abstract Objective One of the good practice principles for health technology assessment (HTA) is having a clear link between and decision making. The objective 2019 Latin American Policy Forum (LatamPF) Health Technology Assessment International was to explore different models connection HTA making discuss potential applicability such in America. Methods This paper based on background document deliberations members LatamPF (fifty-four participants from twelve countries) where design-thinking...
Fractures of the humeral shaft are common. Most them can be successfully treated without surgery. In some cases, an operative intervention may offer faster and better functional results. One major problems with open plating osteosynthesis is extensive soft tissue stripping disruption periosteal circulation, caused by surgical exposure, resulting in a relatively high rate nonunion. Minimally invasive plate (MIPO) techniques were developed to achieve biologic fixation, although minimizing...
Scapholunate dissociation (SLD) is the commonest cause of carpal instability and wrist osteoarthrosis. The value early diagnosis treatment this injury well established in literature. When a partial or total rupture scapholunate ligament treated with anatomic reduction repair, functional results may be good to excellent. However, if not addressed acutely then an overall malalignment seem progressively as result failure secondary scaphoid stabilizers. Chronic SLD will lead advanced collapse...
The present study was performed to test the null hypothesis on no difference in stability of fixation after volar plating intra-articular distal radius fractures (AO C2-C3) with either locking smooth pegs or screws a clinical setting. A retrospective evaluation included adult patients C2-C3 AO treated plate screws. Radiographic assessment evaluate extra- and parameters early postoperative period bone union. Twenty-seven consecutive were included. Thirteen cases had 14 pegs. Both groups...
Objectives To determine whether reamed or unreamed femoral intramedullary nailing is more adverse to pulmonary function, the authors compared three populations of healthy pigs, analyzing biochemical and hemodynamic effects related fat embolism. Likewise, histologically evaluated presence bone marrow embolism in lungs, heart, kidney, brain, retina. Design Randomized, experimental model. Setting Laboratory. Participants Twenty-five male Duroc Jersey adult pigs divided groups. Intervention...
Background The purpose of this paper is to retrospectively evaluate the results treatment elbow stiffness with use dynamic splints. Methods We included 17 patients stable and congruent joints, a range motion 100 degrees or less who had not responded rehabilitation program. Average previous mobility was 108–42 degrees, total arc 66 degrees. splints consist an articulated brace springs. On average their began 94 days after surgery trauma continued for 86 days. Statistical analysis performed....
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to validate a Spanish version patient-rated wrist evaluation (PRWE) and evaluate its psychometric attributes in population patients with distal radius fracture. Material Methods A translation cross-cultural adaptation the PRWE (PRWE-S) was performed according standardized guidelines. total 50 fracture were included during different steps study. reliability new instrument assessed terms construct validity Quick DASH (Disability Arm, Shoulder, Hand)....
A prospective study was performed in 19 patients with trigger thumbs to define the anatomy of A1 pulley thumb this condition and evaluate biomechanical parameters after complete division pulley. Pre- postoperatively, flexion interphalangeal metacarpophalangeal joints, key pinch strength tip were measured compared these measurements on contralateral thumb. We identified three types The clinical data showed that there is no deficit respect motion completely sectioning any
Background:The purpose of this study was to evaluate the rate patency after delayed repair ulnar artery following primary ligation. Methods: Adult patients with ligation injured at forearm who had a were included. Postoperative arterial determined by either physical examination or color Doppler ultrasonographic imaging. complications and Disabilities Arm, Shoulder Hand score recorded. Results: Eight consecutive during 3-year period The mean age 35 years. Four cases women. surgery performed 5...
There is no health system that has the resources to evaluate all technologies. The presence of a clear process prioritize technologies for assessment by technology (HTA) agencies good practice principle recognized at international level. objective Health Technology Assessment International's 2020 Latin American Policy Forum (LatamPF) was explore how improve way HTA in America identify and assessment.This paper based on background document, survey, deliberations members LatamPF (forty-six...
