Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the feasibility of using the wide-awake local anesthesia no-tourniquet (WALANT) technique for radial shortening osteotomy compared to the infraclavicular brachial plexus block (IBPB).
- A total of 26 patients with Kienbock's disease were analyzed, divided into WALANT (11 patients) and IBPB (15 patients) groups, with outcomes measured by Visual Analog Scale (VAS), surgical times, and patient satisfaction.
- Results indicated similar pain scores, satisfaction, and waiting times between both anesthesia methods, suggesting WALANT is a viable alternative with favorable outcomes for this type of surgery.
Background: We sought to report the clinical results of a new conservative treatment modality that uses a shape memory alloy device in patients with ingrown toenail.
Methods: A retrospective review was performed on 41 patients with ingrown toenail treated with the K-D device (S&C Biotech, Seoul, South Korea) between April 2013 and July 2014. Recurrence rate, cosmetic results, pain during the treatment period, and patient satisfaction were the major outcome measures.
Unlabelled: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a condition involving nerve entrapment that often leads to chronic neuropathic pain. We aimed to evaluate sleep quality and related parameters in diabetic and non-diabetic CTS patients.
Method: This study included a total of 366 patients with chronic CTS.
Objectives: To investigate health anxiety and depressive symptoms in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS).
Methods: Patients with FMS and healthy control subjects were recruited. All participants completed the Health Anxiety Inventory Short Form (HAI-SF) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI).
Introduction: Echinococcosis is a parasitic and zoonotic disease of animals and humans. The cause is Echinococcus granulosus and occasionally, Echinococcus multilocularis. Hydatid cysts are mostly seen in the liver and lungs, although almost all organs and systemscan be involvement.

J Orthop Surg (Hong Kong)
December 2014
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of autologous blood injections compared to corticosteroid injections for treating lateral epicondylitis in patients.
- A total of 80 participants (21 men, 59 women, mean age 45.2) were treated and assessed for pain, function, and grip strength at multiple intervals post-treatment.
- Results showed that while corticosteroid injections provided quicker improvements initially, autologous blood injections ultimately led to greater long-term recovery, making it the recommended first-line treatment option.
[Purpose] To compare outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction after open kinetic chain (OKC) exercises and closed kinetic chain (CKC) exercises. [Subjects and Methods] The subjects comprised 11 female and 47 male patients who are randomly divided into two groups: which performed a CKC exercise program Group I and Group II which performed an OKC exercise program. Pain intensity was evaluated using visual analogue scale (VAS).

Material And Methods: We planned this study to evaluate the sOX-2 levels of type 2 diabetic foot (group B), and compare it with that of healthy controls (group A). The patient group had the following values: DM period: 27.
Article Synopsis
- Hyperglycemia may lead to apoptosis, and TRAIL has been connected to diabetes, particularly in type 2 diabetic nephropathy patients with foot disease.
- Twenty-two patients with diabetic nephropathy and foot ulcers were studied, examining their serum-soluble TRAIL and hs-CRP levels against healthy controls.
- Results showed that patients had lower sTRAIL levels and that hs-CRP was linked to age and other health metrics, indicating that TRAIL may have a protective function in these patients.
Is there a relationship between attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder and Osgood-Schlatter disease?
Arch Orthop Trauma Surg
September 2013
Purpose: The purpose of this prospective study is to investigate the relationship between Osgood-Schlatter disease (OSD) and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Methods: Seventy-four children with a diagnosis of OSD were referred to child and adolescent psychiatry department for the evaluation of ADHD. Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders was used for diagnostic criteria.
Objective: The purpose of this retrospective study is to evaluate the cosmetic results of wedge resection of the nail matrix (Winograd technique) in the treatment of ingrown toenail.
Materials And Methods: This study retrospectively reviewed medical charts of 68 patients with 75 ingrown toenails who underwent surgical correction with the Winograd technique between January, 2008, and December, 2009, at the Orthopaedics and Traumatology Department, Antalya Education and Research Hospital. For the final follow-up, patients were contacted by telephone and completed a telephone questionnaire.
