Article Synopsis
- Management of distal radius fractures (DRF) relies on measuring fracture displacement through radiographic methods, but the accuracy of these measurements is questionable.
- The study aimed to assess the accuracy of two specific measurements—dorsal/volar tilt and ulnar variance—by comparing radiographic results to a more precise technique called radiostereometric analyses (RSA).
- Results showed that radiographs significantly underestimated fracture-induced deformities, suggesting that current clinical assessments may lead to ineffective treatment strategies for DRFs.*
Purpose: The objective was to examine whether the 13-item Sense of coherence scale (SOC-13) can be reported as a unidimensional interval-scale metric, when new approaches based on the Rasch model to address local item dependency are applied, and to determine whether an interval-scale scoring can be made available.
Methods: Data were derived from two samples of patients with hand-related disorders (merged = 915). Rasch analyses of the SOC data were conducted using item-level analysis and a testlet approach.
Purpose: This study examined the impact of pronation and supination on the reliability of the radiographically measured values of dorsal tilt, radial inclination (RI), and ulnar variance (UV) in cadaveric forearms with artificially created distal radius fractures.
Methods: We prepared 21 human cadaveric forearms (11 right and 10 left) for radiostereometric analysis (RSA) by insertion of tantalum markers. Distal radius fractures were created midway between the marker segments.
Background: Although dorsal/palmar tilt, radial inclination (RI), and ulnar variance (UV) are measurements commonly performed in wrist radiographs, the impact of forearm rotation on those measurements during the radiographic procedure is uncertain. Our aim was to determine the impact of supination and pronation on the reliability of measurements of tilt, RI, and UV.
Methods: Tantalum markers were inserted into the distal radius of 21 unfractured cadaver forearms.
Study Design: A nonblinded randomized controlled trial.
Introduction: Occupation-based interventions are superior to physical exercise-based interventions in patients with activity limitations. However, only a few studies have examined the effect in patients with hand-related disorders.
Purpose: The objectives of this study were to investigate perceptions of client-centred practice among Danish patients with hand-related disorders engaged in rehabilitation at outpatient clinics, and to decide on domains to serve as a conceptual foundation for item generation in the development of a new, standardized questionnaire to evaluate the experience of client-centredness among patients with hand-related disorders.
Method: Focus group interviews were held with 25 patients with hand-related disorders from six outpatient hand clinics in Denmark. Deductive content analysis was used to decide on domains for item generation.
Purpose: To report on the distribution and test-retest reliability of Antonovsky's 13-item Sense of Coherence (SOC-13) Scale in patients with hand-related disorders (HRD). Links between the SOC-13 score and factors such as age, number of days between date of injury and start of rehabilitation, gender and educational level were explored.
Method: Survey with test-retest, using self-administered questionnaire.
