Experiences with basic body awareness therapy as an add-on to cognitive behavioural therapy among Danish military veterans with PTSD: An interview study.

Background: The Danish Veterans Centre offers a body-orientated therapy, Basic Body Awareness Therapy (BBAT), in addition to the psychological trauma-focused therapy to military veterans suffering from symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This study explored how the veterans a) experienced BBAT as a physiotherapeutic approach and as an add-on treatment to their usual Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and b) whether it makes sense for the individual veteran to incorporate BBAT into their treatment.

Materials And Methods: Individual semi-structured interviews with four veterans who had completed 12 BBAT sessions concurrently with their usual CBT treatment.

Prognostic value of the Haraguchi classification in posterior malleolar fractures in A0 44-C type ankle fractures.

Background And Purpose: Incidence of posterior malleolar fractures (PMFs) associated with ankle fractures is historically based on plain radiographs. Several classification systems for PMF are currently in use, but the reliability of the Haraguchi classification is not reported. The aim of this diagnostic cohort study was to assess incidence of PMF in patients with AO 44-C fractures, and test the reliability of the Haraguchi fracture classification based on CT.

Taylor Spatial Frame or Reamed Intramedullary Nailing for Closed Fractures of the Tibial Shaft: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Objectives: To compare a modern ring fixator [Taylor Spatial Frame (TSF)] and reamed intramedullary nailing (IMN) for the treatment of closed tibial shaft fractures.

Design: Randomized controlled trial.

Setting: Two university hospitals.

Randomized trial comparing suture button with single 3.5 mm syndesmotic screw for ankle syndesmosis injury: similar results at 2 years.

Background and purpose - Better outcomes are reported for suture button (SB) compared with syndesmotic screws (SS) in patients treated for an acute ankle syndesmotic injury. One reason could be that screws are more rigid than an SB. A single tricortical 3.

Better outcome for suture button compared with single syndesmotic screw for syndesmosis injury: five-year results of a randomized controlled trial.

Aims: In a randomized controlled trial with two-year follow-up, patients treated with suture button (SB) for acute syndesmotic injury had better outcomes than patients treated with syndesmotic screw (SS). The aim of this study was to compare clinical and radiological outcomes for these treatment groups after five years.

Methods: A total of 97 patients with acute syndesmotic injury were randomized to SS or SB.

Importance of Syndesmotic Reduction on Clinical Outcome After Syndesmosis Injuries.

Objectives: To evaluate the relationship between syndesmosis reduction and outcome.

Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Setting: One Level 1 and 1 Level 3 Trauma Center.

Use of Suture Button in the Treatment of Syndesmosis Injuries.

A suture button device provides fixation of syndesmosis injuries of the ankle with or without concomitant malleolar fracture. The suture button device consists of a fiber thread attached between 2 small metal buttons. The buttons are placed on the cortical bone on the medial and lateral sides of the ankle, and the fiber thread is tightened to stabilize the syndesmosis.

Randomized Trial Comparing Suture Button with Single Syndesmotic Screw for Syndesmosis Injury.

Background: This study compared clinical and radiographic results between patients who underwent stabilization of an acutely injured syndesmosis with a suture button (SB) and those treated with 1 quadricortical syndesmotic screw (SS).

Methods: Ninety-seven patients, 18 to 70 years old, with an ankle injury that included the syndesmosis were randomized to 2 groups: SB (48 patients) and SS (49). The main outcome measure was the score on the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot scale.

High complication rate after syndesmotic screw removal.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the rate of complications after routine syndesmotic screw removal.

Materials And Methods: All patients who underwent syndesmotic screw removal at our hospital between 2007 and 2012 were included in the study. Patient demographics, surgical characteristics, radiographic evaluation and complications were recorded from the patients' charts.

Cancer registration, public health and the reform of the European data protection framework: Abandoning or improving European public health research?

The importance of cancer- and other disease registries for planning, management and evaluation of healthcare systems has been shown repeatedly during the last 50 years. Complete and unbiased population-level analyses on routinely collected, individual data concerning health and personal characteristics can address significant concerns about risk factors for cancer and provide sound evidence about public health and the effectiveness of healthcare systems. The existence of quality controlled and comprehensive data in registries, allowed to be used for quality control, research and public health purposes are taken as granted by most health professionals and researchers.
