Is There Any Purpose in Routine Syndesmotic Screw Removal? Systematic Literature Review.

: The aim of this systematic review is to examine the recent evidence comparing the removal and non-removal of syndesmotic screws in tibiofibular syndesmosis injuries in terms of functional, clinical, and radiographic outcomes. : A comprehensive literature review was conducted to identify clinical studies on syndesmotic screw removal and its outcomes, searching the Cochrane Library and PubMed Medline for publications from 1 January 2004 to 12 February 2024. Studies were included if they involved tibiofibular syndesmotic screw fixation, assessed screw removal or retention, described clinical outcomes, and were original research with at least fifteen patients per group.

Needle arthroscopic-assisted repair of tibio-fibular syndesmosis acute injury: A case report.

Background: Acute injuries to the tibiofibular syndesmosis, often associated with high ankle sprains or malleolar fractures, require precise diagnosis and treatment to prevent long-term complications. This case report explores the use of needle arthroscopy as a minimally invasive technique for the repair of tibiofibular syndesmosis injuries.

Case Summary: We report on a 40-year-old male patient who presented with a trimalleolar fracture and ankle subluxation following a high ankle sprain.

Intellectual humility: an old problem in a new psychological perspective.

Though having been emphasised by philosophers and theologians for centuries, it is only in the last few years that the concept of intellectual humility has been explicitly defined and studied by empirical psychology. However, it has been long enough to recognise the prominent role that being intellectually humble plays for humane functioning, both at an intra- and inter-individual level. Having started with a broader philosophical and historical context, the present paper discusses the psychological conceptualisations of intellectual humility.

To dwell within: Bridging the theory-practice gap.

Nursing has a considerable history of theory development but has consistently struggled to reconcile theoretical reality and practice realities. Many authors have attempted to reconcile what has been called the "theory-practice gap," but the space where these two realities enmesh has remained problematic and contentious (Aimei, Macau Journal of Nursing, 14, 2015, 13; Factor, Matienzo, & de Guzman, Nurse Education Today, 57, 2017, 82). The idea of the theory-practice gap has a significant history in nursing, but also continues to have a significant presence within nursing literature and mythology up to the present (Aimei, Macau Journal of Nursing, 14, 2015, 13).

A guest in the house: nursing instructors' experiences of the moral distress felt by students during inpatient psychiatric clinical rotations.

Significant research has been done on the impact of moral distress among nurses, particularly in acute and intensive care settings. However, little research to date has investigated the experiences that nursing students have with moral distress. Additionally, there is a dearth of research on the role of nursing instructors' perceptions of their responsibilities to their students when encountering morally distressing situations.
