Pain in idiopathic scoliosis not associated with known genetic variants for pain.

Introduction: Back pain is common in idiopathic scoliosis. The aim of this study was to study known genetic variants associated with pain in individuals with idiopathic scoliosis.

Methods: We included 1442 individuals with juvenile or adolescent idiopathic scoliosis from Sweden and Denmark.

Patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia: Experiences of their disease, treatment, and care in a cross-sectoral setting. A scoping review.

Introduction: Patients facing chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) experience significant burdens, impacting their physical, emotional, and social well-being. They require extensive care from multidisciplinary healthcare professionals across primary and secondary settings. Managing CLTI necessitates strict patient adherence to treatment protocols to prevent severe complications.

Older patients' experiences of shared decision-making when choosing treatment for their distal radius fracture; A qualitative study.

Objective: This study aims to understand how older patients experience shared decision-making (SDM) when making decisions about the treatment of their distal radius fracture (DRF).

Methods: An exploratory qualitative study was designed using individual in-person and telephone interviews. Twelve DRF patients were recruited during their first follow-up visit to a Danish outpatient clinic, with ten of them participating in interviews.

Thoracic spine X-ray examination of patients with back pain using different breathing technique and exposure times - A diagnostic study.

Introduction: The breathing and suspended inspiration techniques are often used interchangeably for spine X-ray examinations. However, these techniques are not always adequately supported by clinical evidence. This study aimed to determine the two techniques' diagnostic value and adverse image outcomes.

Surgical or non-surgical treatment of plantar fasciopathy (SOFT): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Plantar fasciopathy is the most common reason for complaints of plantar heel pain and one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal conditions with a reported lifetime incidence of 10%. The condition is normally considered self-limiting with persistent symptoms that often last for several months or years. Multiple treatments are available, but no single treatment appears superior to the others.
