Objectives: Analyze wrist wrap influence on the values of maximum handgrip strength and dynamic resistance.
Methods: A controlled randomized cross-over trial including 54 Crossfit participants randomly assigned to two groups. Group 1 began the series of tests with control wrapping, and Group 2 started with functional wrapping.
Objectives: To describe the clinical utility of the Manchester triage scale adapted for orthopedic emergency departments and to evaluate its validity in identifying patients with the need for hospital care and its reliability when reproduced by different professionals.
Methods: Five triage flowcharts were developed based on the Manchester scale for the following orthopedic disorders: traumatic injuries, joint pain, vertebral pain, postoperative disorders, and musculoskeletal infections. A series of patients triaged by two orthopedists was analyzed to assess the concordance between the evaluators (reliability) and the validity of the Manchester scale as predictive of severity.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the increasing use of free tissue transfer for limb reconstruction and the complications associated with it, especially in traumatic cases.
- It analyzes peri-operative data, aiming to identify independent risk factors that contribute to complications, with a focus on intraoperative ischemia time.
- Key findings reveal that prolonged ischemia time (over two hours) and obesity are significant risk factors for complications in free flap surgeries.
