Responsiveness of the Work Role Functioning Questionnaire (Spanish version) in a general working population.

Objective: To examine the responsiveness of the Work Role Functioning Questionnaire (Spanish version) (WRFQ-SpV) so that it could be used in evaluative studies.

Methods: A longitudinal survey was performed. Combinations of distribution- and anchor-based approaches were used.

Reliability and validity of the work role functioning questionnaire (Spanish version).

Purpose: Recently, the cross-cultural adaptation of the Work Role Functioning Questionnaire to Spanish was carried out, achieving satisfactory psychometric properties. Now we examined the reliability and validity of the adapted [Work role functioning questionnaire-Spanish version (WRFQ-SpV)] in a general working population with and without (physical and mental) health issues to evaluate its measurement properties.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among active workers.

Correlation of dorsiflexion angle and plantar pressure following arthrodesis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint.

Background: The correlation between angle of fusion of the first metatarsophalangeal (1MTTP) joint and pressures under metatarsal heads and hallux has not been well characterized. The main purpose was to investigate the correlation between fusion dorsiflexion angle of the 1MTTP joint and plantar pressures under the first metatarsal head and hallux during gait.

Methods: Patients who underwent arthrodesis of the 1MTTP joint from 2005 to 2010 were seen for a follow-up examination.

Bilateral stress fracture of the carpal scaphoid: report in a child and review of the literature.

We describe a case of a bilateral stress fracture of the carpal scaphoid in a 13-year-old boy. The patient played as a goalkeeper from the age of 5 years and presented with a 2-year history of intermittent pain in both wrists. Our patient underwent open reduction and bone grafting from the iliac crest in both wrists (6 months apart).

Stress fracture of the femoral neck as a complication of total knee arthroplasty.

Stress fracture of the hip is a rare complication of total knee arthroplasty that occurs most often in patients in whom a significant deformity of the knee has been corrected, particularly those with poor mobility before surgery. We report 4 cases of ipsilateral fracture of the femoral neck after total knee arthroplasty.
