[Retrospective Long-Term Results After Dellon's Nerve Decompression In The Lower Leg For Polyneuropathy].

Background: Patients affected by polyneuropathy often report pain, paraesthesia and numbness and are at risk of having an increased propensity to fall with the corresponding complications. In case of persistent symptoms after all conservative and medical treatment options have been exhausted, a nerve decompression in the lower leg as described by Dellon can lead to an improvement of the discomfort for many patients. This article presents our long-term results with Dellon's operation.

Nerve Decompression in the Lower Leg Results in an Improvement in Symptoms in Patients With Both Diabetic and Idiopathic Polyneuropathy.

Background: Patients suffering from polyneuropathy often complain of pain, tingling, and numbness sensations, as well as an increased risk of falling with the corresponding subsequent complications. If symptoms persist after conservative treatment options have been exhausted, nerve decompression in the lower extremity, as described by Dellon, can bring about an improvement in symptoms in many patients. Dellon originally reported that this surgery led to very successful outcomes in patients with diabetic polyneuropathy.

Active Heating following Cryolipolysis Reduces Efficacy and Side Effects: A Randomized Split-Body Trial.

Background: Cryolipolysis-a popular noninvasive technique for body contouring-has fewer side effects compared with liposuction; however, its effectiveness in terms of reducing local adipose tissue is also lower. This study is, to the authors' knowledge, the first prospective, controlled, investigator-blinded split-body trial to evaluate whether postcryolipolytic heating can increase the efficacy.

Methods: Twenty-five subjects were treated with one session of cryolipolysis on the lower abdomen and a subsequent heating with a mud pack of a randomized side of the treated region (left or right).

Autologous Fat Transfer for Thumb Carpometacarpal Joint Osteoarthritis: Long Term Results.

Background: Initial results after autologous fat transfer for treatment of thumb carpometacarpal joint osteoarthritis have been promising. But long-term results have not yet been available.

Methods: In a prospective study, 42 patients with thumb carpometacarpal joint osteoarthritis were observed for a mean time of 5 years after autologous fat transfer.

Lipofilling in Osteoarthritis of the Finger Joints: Initial Prospective Long-Term Results.

Background: There is considerable interest in the possibility of offering an alternative and less invasive method of treatment for osteoarthritis that will preserve the joint. This article presents for the first time the long-term results of a prospective study following autologous fat transfer to arthritic finger joints.

Methods: The authors report on 28 finger joints with osteoarthritis that they treated by injecting fatty tissue into the joints.
