Article Synopsis
- Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection is explored as a non-surgical treatment for de Quervain's tenosynovitis (DQT), aiming to enhance tendon healing.
- A systematic review of 275 studies identified 12 relevant studies, assessing their quality and bias, to analyze the effectiveness of PRP compared to conservative treatments.
- Results indicate that PRP injections lead to significant reductions in pain and improvements in wrist function over one and six months, suggesting PRP as a viable alternative treatment for DQT.
Introduction And Importance: Polydactyly is the most common congenital malformation in the limbs. However, it is rare for a patient to exhibit concomitant preaxial and postaxial polydactyly alongside syndactyly in both limbs, and there are limited recommendations for such conditions. This report presents a case of bilateral preaxial and postaxial polydactyly with syndactyly of the feet.

Spondyloptosis is the severest form of spondylolisthesis (>100 %) which affects the sagital or coronal plane from the contiguous vertebral bone. Anterior spondyloptosis is known as fracture-dislocation where the proximal part of the vertebra is located infront of the distal vertebrae.

This study aims to summarize the specific outcomes between buried and exposed K-wire for the management of hand and forearm fractures.
Methods: We conducted relevant literature searches on Europe PMC, Medline, Scopus, and Cochrane Library databases using specific keywords.
Unlabelled: Botulinum toxin A has the potential to be used for analgesia because of its anti-inflammatory effect. The utility of intra-articular injections of botulinum toxin A for knee osteoarthritis remains unclear. The aim of this study was to analyze the utility of such injections in knees with osteoarthritis.
