Effect of physiotherapy interventions on pain management, function and quality of life in patellofemoral pain syndrome: A systematic review protocol.

Background: Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is a prevalent and often debilitating condition, affecting approximately 22.7% of the population and significantly contributing to knee-related disorders. It primarily impacts young athletes and sedentary individuals, impairing their quality of life and functional abilities.

Effect of torque customization with composite resin bases on the shear bond strength and adhesive remnant patterns of lingual brackets : An in vitro evaluation.

Purpose: This study evaluated the effect of torque customization of lingual brackets with resin-modified bases on their shear bond strength (SBS), adhesive remnant index (ARI), and bond failure patterns (BFP).

Methods: The sample comprised 200 lingual lower incisor brackets (DTC® ORG, DTC Medical Apparatus, Hangzhou, China); 40 brackets were tested as-received and 4 groups with 40 brackets each were customized for -10, -20, +10 and +20° torque respectively with light-cured composite resin (Transbond XT™, 3M Unitek, Monrovia, CA, USA) bases. All brackets were bonded to bovine mandibular incisors.

Physical Therapy Approaches for Concomitant Anterior Cruciate Ligament and Posterior Cruciate Ligament Avulsion Fractures: A Case Report.

Multi-ligament knee injury, involving complex destruction of structures like the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), presents significant challenges in treatment as well as diagnosis. This case study focuses on a 55-year-old woman who was the victim of a severe traffic accident and had an ACL and PCL avulsion fracture, a medial condyle fracture, and a medial collateral ligament rupture. Afterward, open reduction and internal fixation of the right tibial plateau surgery was performed after a delay in order to manage the pain and swelling.

Advancements in Metacarpal Fracture Management: A Narrative Review of Rehabilitative Strategies.

Metacarpal fractures are prevalent injuries that can significantly impact hand functionality if not managed effectively. This narrative review examines recent advancements in treatment strategies, comparing conservative and surgical interventions, and evaluates the role of early mobilization and innovative rehabilitation techniques. We analyze evidence showing that surgical treatment with low-profile titanium plates provides superior stabilization, enabling earlier mobilization and better functional outcomes compared to conservative methods or K-wire fixation.

Rehabilitation Approaches for Proximal Peroneal Tendinopathy With Concurrent Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Sprain: A Case Report.

Proximal peroneal tendinopathy is a relatively rare condition and can cause severe pain, discomfort, and often disability, especially if it coexists with other pathologies of the lower limbs. This case report discusses a 32-year-old male surgeon with the condition of chronic lateral ankle pain due to proximal peroneal tendinopathy, complicated by an anterior cruciate ligament sprain, a posterior cruciate ligament ganglion cyst, and early medial meniscus degeneration. His ability to perform surgeries has been compromised due to the need to stand for prolonged periods.
