Article Synopsis
- Olecranon bursitis (OB) is a common condition marked by inflammation in the olecranon bursa, and this review aims to evaluate non-surgical treatment options due to varying effectiveness data.
- The systematic review analyzed studies from five medical databases, ultimately including two randomized control trials and two observational studies, assessing their risk of bias.
- Although corticosteroid injections (CSI) shortened symptom duration, they also posed higher risks for complications, suggesting that conservative treatments may be preferable initially, with CSI reserved for more stubborn cases.
Introduction: Colchicine, because of its anti-inflammatory and possible anti-viral properties, has been proposed as potential therapeutic option for COVID-19. The role of colchicine to mitigate "cytokine storm" and to decrease the severity and mortality associated with COVID-19 has been evaluated in many studies.
Objective: To evaluate the role of colchicine on morbidity and mortality in COVID-19 patients.
Introduction: Significant hand burns frequently result in dorsal neosyndactyly, despite appropriate wound care, excision/grafting, and occupational therapy. Patients often develop limited abduction, tethered flexion/extension, intrinsic tightness, and inversion of the web space. We present a new technique for neosyndactyly release: the STARplasty (Syndactyly Treatment After Release), named after the appearance of the reconstructed web.
