Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to evaluate how follow-up time impacts the revision rates of two surgical treatments for cubital tunnel syndrome: in situ decompression and ulnar nerve transposition.
- A total of sixteen studies with 2,225 patients were analyzed, revealing that longer follow-up times (≥48 months) significantly increase the revision rate for in situ decompression compared to ulnar transposition.
- The findings suggest that ulnar nerve transposition may offer lower revision rates, highlighting the importance of further research, especially prospective randomized trials, to confirm these results.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines injury rates and patterns in high school track and field athletes participating in jumping events from 2008 to 2019, revealing limited previous reports on this topic.
- A total of 727 injuries were recorded, with common injuries being muscle strains and ligament sprains, and the majority of athletes returning to sport within three weeks.
- The findings indicate that injury rates were higher during competitions than practices, and female athletes experienced a higher proportion of certain injuries compared to male athletes.
Objective: To investigate the extent of extraskeletal manifestations along with inpatient outcomes and complications associated with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI).
Study Design: This cross-sectional study utilized the Kids' Inpatient Database as a part of the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project to investigate inpatient hospital outcomes and management in patients with OI from 1997 through 2016. Data regarding hospital characteristics, cost of treatment, inpatient outcomes, and procedures were collected and analyzed.
An Evaluation of Patient-reported Outcome Measures and Minimal Clinically Important Difference Usage in Hand Surgery.
Plast Reconstr Surg Glob Open
December 2023
Background: This study was designed to examine the current use of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and minimal clinically important difference (MCID) calculations in the hand surgery literature in an effort to standardize their use for research purposes.
Methods: A systematic review of the hand surgery literature was conducted. All nonshoulder upper extremity articles utilizing PROMs were compared between different journals, different surgical indications, and differing usage.
Purpose: The optimal treatment of intra-articular distal radius fractures in older adults (>65 years) remains uncertain despite numerous randomized trials. The purpose of this study was to examine the moderating effect of age on patient-reported benefits of volar locked plating versus cast immobilization for intra-articular distal radius fractures.
Methods: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials was conducted to compare volar locked plating and cast immobilization of intra-articular distal radius fractures.
