Radiological results and clinical complications after calcaneal articular fracture surgical treatment using minimally invasive percutaneous fixation.

The choice of method for surgical treatment of articular calcaneal fractures remains problematic due to the potential complications and difficulty in restoring loss of functional status, anatomical geometry and congruence of joint surfaces. The preferred method of surgical treatment for these injuries, among others, is still minimally invasive percutaneous fixation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the radiological results of articular calcaneal fractures surgical treatment using a minimally invasive percutaneous fixation and to determine the prevalence of complications in early and long-term observation.

Fatty acids composition in erythrocyte membranes of athletes after one and after a series of whole body cryostimulation sessions.

Whole body cryotherapy (WBC) is a treatment often used by athletes as part of biological renewal. Despite the large interest in this form therapy there is still a lack of information on the effects of WBC on the concentration of fatty acids in erythrocyte membranes. Our study aimed at comparing the fatty acids (FA) composition of erythrocyte membranes of athletes after one session and after a series of sessions of whole body cryostimulation.
