Article Synopsis
- This study revisits the technique of joint flexion during nerve suturing, which had been largely abandoned, reporting its effectiveness in a case series with eight patients.
- The method involved intraoperative joint flexion, followed by immobilization and close monitoring through ultrasounds and physiotherapy to ensure proper healing and identify early complications.
- Results indicated a high rate of nerve rupture (50%), but those with preserved sutures showed significant recovery, highlighting the importance of monitoring and the potential benefits of this multimodal approach.
The universal screening for osteoporosis by bone mineral density (BMD) is not feasible because of its unfavorable cost-benefit due to its low sensitivity. The aim of the present study was to estimate the population and economic impact of the diagnostic criteria of the National Osteoporosis Guideline Group (NOGG) and the National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF) and assess the appropriateness of the BMD tests performed in routine clinical practice. A cross-sectional study was conducted in individuals referred for BMD testing who were not receiving antiresorptive therapy.
