Introduction: To compare surgical and conservative management of midshaft clavicle fractures according with scapulothoracic joint angle change, considering clinical, functional, and radiological outcomes.
Methods: A total of 95 midshaft clavicle fracture patients aged between 18-70 years with a minimum follow-up duration of 12 months were included in this study. Patients were treated either conservatively (Group I) or surgically (Group 2).
Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to assess how vitamin D replacement therapy affects musculoskeletal symptoms and overall quality of life in patients with chronic widespread musculoskeletal pain (CWP) and vitamin D deficiency.
- A total of 58 patients received weekly oral vitamin D3 treatment for three months, with significant improvements in pain, fatigue, depression levels, and overall quality of life observed after the treatment.
- The results showed elevated vitamin D levels and a decrease in fibromyalgia symptoms, with 85% of patients reporting satisfaction with the treatment, highlighting the importance of checking vitamin D levels in CWP patients.
Article Synopsis
- - This study examined the effectiveness of high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) compared to an epicondylitis bandage treatment for patients suffering from lateral epicondylitis (LE), involving 65 patients who were divided into two treatment groups.
- - Both treatment groups experienced significant improvements in pain, handgrip strength, disability, and quality of life after six weeks, but HILT showed notably better results in resting pain levels and certain quality of life metrics as measured by the SF-36.
- - The conclusion emphasizes that while both treatments were effective, HILT was more beneficial for reducing resting pain and improving physical quality of life compared to just using a bandage.
The objective of this study is to investigate short- and long-term effects of high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) in lateral epicondylitis (LE) patients. Thirty patients with LE diagnosis (23 unilateral and 7 bilateral in total 37 elbows) were treated using HILT. LE patients were evaluated before, right after, and 6 months following HILT intervention post-treatment using visual analogue scale for pain (VAS) during activity and resting.
