Evaluation of the psychometric properties a translated, culturally adapted questionnaire.Translating, adapting, and validating Italian version Oswestry Disability Index (ODI-I), allowing its use in Italian-speaking patients with low back pain inside outside Italy.Growing attention is devoted to standardized outcome measures improve interventions for pain. A translated form ODI has never been validated within population.The ODI-I questionnaire was developed involving forward-backward...
Determining the rate of specific adverse events after volar plating performed for distal radius fractures.Retrospective.University level I trauma center.We searched electronic database all surgical procedures in our department using following keywords: fracture, wrist and plate fixation. We identified 315 patients, 12 whom were lost at follow-up.Volar fixation treatment fractures.At an average follow-up 5 years, 303 patients evaluated through medical records clinical radiographic assessment...
Abstract Background The aim of this non-randomized controlled trial was to evaluate the effectiveness a Global Postural Reeducation (GPR) program as compared Stabilization Exercise (SE) in subjects with persistent low back pain (LBP) at short- and mid-term follow-up (ie. 3 6 months). Methods According inclusion exclusion criteria, 100 patients primary complaint LBP were enrolled study: 50 allocated GPR group SE group. Primary outcome measures Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ)...
Background and Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy a preventive ergonomic intervention, which provided by physical therapists, on spinal upper-extremity work-related posture symptom complaints workers who use video display terminals (VDT). Subjects Two hundred employees spent at least 20 hours per week VDT were randomly divided into 2 groups. Group E received intervention an informative brochure, group I only brochure. Methods Both groups evaluated beginning...
The treatment of radial neck fractures in children varies according to the displacement, angulation, and skeletal maturity. There is a general agreement that displaced with more than 30° angulations (Judet type III IV fractures) should be surgically treated. are several possibilities for Judet including percutaneous pin reduction, elastic stable intramedullary nailing (ESIN), open reduction or without internal fixation. In this retrospective study we compared clinical radiographical...
Implants based on the polyetheretherketon (PEEK) polymer have been developed in last decade as an alternative to conventional metallic devices. PEEK devices may provide several advantages over use of orthopedic materials, including lack metal allergies, radiolucency, low artifacts magnetic resonance imaging scans and possibility tailoring mechanical properties. The purpose this study was evaluate clinical results at 12-month follow-up using a new plate made carbon-fiber-reinforced for...
Intra-articular incarceration of the epicondylar fragment occurs in 5-18 % all cases medial epicondyle fracture. It requires stable fixation to allow early motion, since elbow stiffness is most common complication following In this retrospective study, we report clinical and functional outcomes complications that occurred open reduction screw fractures with intra-articular incarceration.Thirteen children who had a fracture joint (type III) were surgically treated our university hospital...
The aim of the study was to determine effectiveness an extension-oriented exercise program in prevention and management low back/neck pain nursery school teachers. A Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial utilized. Seventy-one teachers working nine buildings were randomly divided into two groups, with each as a unit randomization. All both groups received ergonomic brochure; experimental group also program, conducted by physical therapist. Data collected at baseline two-month follow-up. primary...
Multiple techniques for corrective osteotomy have been developed in recent years with the same aims: to improve radiographic parameters and motion, pain grip strength. Volar fixed-angle plates added a new concept treatment of distal radius fractures thanks low morbidity surgical approach strength final construct, allowing early mobilization return function.Between 2005 2012, 20 patients symptomatic dorsally malunited extra-articular underwent using volar locking plate without additional bone...
The management of distal triceps tears must address each patient’s medical and functional status: in general, the literature has described satisfactory nonsurgical treatment less than 50%. Tears greater 50% are treated nonsurgically a sedentary person surgically active patients. Complete generally managed surgically: most reported repair techniques describe use Bunnell or Krakow whipstitch techniques, passing sutures through transosseous drill holes ulna. Other include suture anchors direct...
