Bone substitute in distal radius osteotomy: a prospective randomized double-blinded study on micromotion and outcomes in 42 patients up to one year.

Introduction: Symptomatic malunion following a distal radius fracture (DRF) is commonly treated with a corrective osteotomy. Such osteotomy is traditionally fixed with a palmar plate in combination with autogenous bone graft in the osteotomy gap. However, bone grafting prolongs surgery and may result in comorbidity.

Inflammatory and degenerative changes in the extensor pollicis longus muscle and tendon following ruptures caused by distal radius fractures.

Background: Rupture of extensor pollicis longus tendon (EPL) is a known complication following a distal radius fracture (DRF). Although the precise mechanisms behind these ruptures remain unclear, vascular impairment is thought to play a significant role. Additionally, the impact of an EPL rupture on microstructure of the tendon and muscle is not well understood, but such information could be important in guiding treatment strategies.

Fatigue and cognitive dysfunction in previously hospitalized patients with COVID-19: A 1-year follow-up.

Purpose: The aim was to longitudinally explore changes in fatigue- and cognition-related symptoms during the first year after hospital treatment for COVID-19.

Method: Patients hospitalized for COVID-19 in Gothenburg, Sweden, were consecutively included from 01-07-2020 to 28-02-2021. Patients were assessed at the hospital (acute) and at 3 and 12 months after hospital discharge.

Dance for Parkinson, multifaceted experiences of persons living with Parkinson's Disease.

Background: Dance classes for people with Parkinson's Disease (PD) are offered worldwide; however, further studies are needed to explore patients' experiences of how dance affects well-being.

Purpose: To explore how Dance for Parkinson (Dance for PD) is experienced, and how it contributes to the well-being and health of participants in Sweden.

Methods: This qualitative study collected data from four focus groups.

Daily life one year after corrective osteotomy for malunion of a distal radius fracture an interview study.

The aim of this study was to explore the everyday life experiences of people one year after corrective osteotomy following a symptomatic, malunited, distal radius fracture.Semi-structured interviews were conducted with twenty respondents, median age 65 (22-81) years. The respondents were recruited consecutively.
