Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the functional outcomes of single tendon transfer (STT) versus double tendon transfer (DTT) for correcting foot drop and preventing toe drop in patients with posttraumatic common fibular nerve palsy.
- A total of 27 patients were analyzed, with results showing both groups had similar improvements in foot drop correction, but the DTT group demonstrated significantly better toe drop prevention.
- Double tendon transfer was deemed effective for ankle dorsiflexion and toe drop prevention, yet active toe extension recovery was inconsistent and not superior to the STT outcomes.
Purpose: We aimed to study potential variables involved in interindividual variability to acenocoumarol (AC) response in order to establish a pharmacogenetic algorithm (PA) that includes clinical and genetic factors to predict adequate AC dose to stabilize anticoagulation in a cohort of Tunisian patients.
Methods: Genotyping of the CYP2C9, VKORC1, CYP4F2, and CALU polymorphisms was conducted on 246 patients using PCR-RFLP technique. AC normalized maintenance dose (NMD): ((mean maintenance dose/international normalized ratio (INR)) equilibrium) was calculated.
