Article Synopsis
- The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the benefits of telemedicine in Italy, leading to a focus on tele-visit services, particularly for type 1 diabetes patients in Modena.
- A case study was conducted to assess the implementation of these tele-visits over the first year, from May 2023 to April 2024, detailing the activities and challenges faced by the Local Health Authority.
- In the initial year, 72 patients participated with 103 tele-visits conducted, mostly involving women aged 30-49, with nearly half of the Diabetology specialists engaged in the service.
The incidence of complex articular fractures of the distal humeral in adults has increased and will be growing in the future due to the greater incidence of high energy trauma and to the higher percentage of elderly population. Successful treatment is challenging for the needed balance between a stability of often comminuted fracture and early motion. Nonunion is a common complication after distal humerus fractures that is influenced by a variety of factors such as biology, in particular the blood supply of the metaphysis, the non-anatomical reduction of the fracture, the methods of fixation, and mechanical failure.

- Posttraumatic heterotopic ossification in the forearm often results in a condition called proximal radioulnar synostosis, typically following injuries or surgeries affecting the soft tissues or bones.
- Screening through radiography helps determine the right time for surgical excision, generally advised 6-12 months after the injury when the ectopic bone shows maturity on imaging.
- Surgical methods depend on factors like the location and severity of the synostosis, with specific approaches recommended for different scenarios, and interposition materials may be used post-surgery to reduce chances of recurrence.
The post-traumatic stiff elbow is a challenge for the surgeon, requiring expertise for the treatment choice and accurate planning. Stiffness can result from traumatic injury involving the periarticular soft tissues and the joint articular surfaces. In this article, we want to assess the impact of three-dimensional (3D) printed models in selecting the appropriate surgical strategy for this pathology.
