The effects of the addition of mechanical traction to physical therapy on low back pain? A systematic review with meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: The literature suggests the short-term effectiveness of traction on pain in LBP with LR, regardless of the type or the dosage employed. Different effects of traction other the mechanical ones can be hypothesized. This systematic review may be relevant for clinical practice due to the similar effects of different traction types or dosages.LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level I, Therapeutic Study.PMID:36939359 | DOI:10.5152/j.aott.2023.21323 (Source: Acta Orthopaedica)

The Effect of cam and pincer morphology on hamstring injury rates and return to play in elite young male football players
CONCLUSION: The present study has shown that hamstring injuries are more common in elite young male football players with cam and pincer morphology than those without. Therefore, further studies of musculoskeletal dysfunctions of femoroacetabular origin should be considered in the programs prepared to prevent and treat hamstring injuries.LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, Prognostic Study.PMID:36939363 | DOI:10.5152/j.aott.2023.22115 (Source: Acta Orthopaedica)

CONCLUSION: This study has shown that the inter- and intra-observer agreement with the addition of a 3-dimensional printed model for the evaluation of the distal radius fractures of Association For Osteo synth esis/ Ortho pedic Trauma Association C type for classification, fractures morphology, and preoperative planning tends to increase; however, improvements for an inter-observer agreement remain fair.LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III Diagnostic Study.PMID:36939364 | DOI:10.5152/j.aott.2023.22045 (Source: Acta Orthopaedica)

Acute bilateral extensor pollicis longus tendon rupture following bilateral displaced distal radius fracture: A case report
Acta Orthop Traumatol Turc. 2023 Jan;57(1):46-49. doi: 10.5152/j.aott.2023.22105.ABSTRACTExtensor pollicis longus tendon ruptures are rarely reported after traumatic events, especially after distal radius fractures. Its classical presentation is a late-onset and unilateral rupture after a non-displaced distal radius fracture. In this case report, we present the treatment of a patient with acute bilateral extensor pollicis longus tendon ruptures after bilateral displaced distal radius fractures. The patient was treated with bilateral open reduction and volar plate fixation via a volar Henry approach for distal radius fractu...

Management Strategy and Evaluation of Surgical Outcomes in Patients with Recurrent Patellar Instability between 2010-2020
CONCLUSIONS When correctly indicated, proximal, distal realignment or their combination can bring very good functional outcomes with a low risk of recurrent dislocation and postoperative complications. The importance of MPFL reconstruction is confirmed by low incidence of recurrent dislocation in the group investigated in this study, namely when compared with studies referred to in this paper, in which the patients underwent patellar stabilisation using the Elmslie-Trillat procedure. Conversely, leaving the bone malalignment untreated during the isolated MPFL reconstruction increases the risk of its failure. Judging from t...

Functional and Radiologic Results of Posteromedial Limited Surgery in Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip
CONCLUSIONS Posteromedial limited surgery for developmental dysplasia of the hip is indicated when closed reduction remains insufficient and medial open articular reduction remains unnecessarily invasive. This study, in line with the literature, provides evidences that this method might decrease the incidences of residual acetabular dysplasia and avascular necrosis of the femoral head. Key words: developmental dysplasia of the hip, posteromedial limited surgery, closed reduction, medial open reduction.PMID:36907578 (Source: Acta Orthopaedica)

Scapholunate Ligament Partial Tears; Tear Localization, Extrinsic Ligament Injury Association and Conservative Treatment Responses Prior to Instability: Cross-Sectional Study
CONCLUSIONS On imaging SLIOL injuries, attention should be paid to the integrity of secondary stabilizers. In partial SLIOL injuries, pain reduction and functional recovery can be achieved with conservative treatment. Conservative approach can be the initial treatment option in partial injuries especially in acute cases regardless of tear localization and injury grade if secondary stabilizers are intact.

Instabilities of the Thumb Carpometacarpal Joint: Our Surgical Outcomes
CONCLUSIONS CMC instability of the thumb joint is a relatively common disorder, although not all individuals experience clinical difficulties. In the case of difficulties, the instability needs to be diagnosed and treated as this is how the development of early rhizarthrosis in the predisposed individuals can be prevented. Our conclusions suggest a possibility of a surgical solution with good results. Key words: carpometacarpal thumb joint, thumb CMC joint, carpometacarpal thumb instability, joint laxity, rhizarthrosis.PMID:36907580 (Source: Acta Orthopaedica)

Which is the Best Solution for Achieving Maximal Interfragmentary Compression of the Scaphoid Fractures - One or Two Herbert Screws?
CONCLUSIONS This study of 72 patients in whom patients with similar fracture geometry were separated into two groups fixed by one HBS and fixed by two HBS. Analysis of the results demonstrate that osteosynthesis with two HBS creates greater fracture stability. The proposed algorithm for fixation of acute scaphoid fractures using two HBS is achieved by simultaneously placing the screw along the axial axis and perpendicular to the fracture line. The stability is improved by the equal distribution of the compression force on the entire fracture surface. Key words: scaphoid fractures, Herbert screw, two screws fixation.PMID:36...

Benefit of Arthroscopy in Differential Diagnostics and Therapy of Lateral Epicondylitis
CONCLUSIONS Arthroscopic examination of the elbow joint makes it possible to diagnose all potential intraarticular sources of difficulties. Simultaneous elbow arthroscopy and open treatment of radial epicondylitis (release of ECRB or EDC, ECU, necrotic tissue excision, deperiostation and radial epicondyle microfractures) is a safe method with low morbidity, faster rehabilitation and return to the original activities based on subjective evaluation of patients and objective scoring. Key words: lateral epicondylitis, radiohumeral plica, elbow arthroscopy.PMID:36907582 (Source: Acta Orthopaedica)

Posterior Tibial Slope as a Morphological Risk Factor for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: a Retrospective Cohort Study
CONCLUSIONS Our study confirmed a greater posterior tibial slope in the revision reconstruction group compared to the primary reconstruction group. Thus, we confirmed that greater posterior tibial slope may be a factor leading to the ACL reconstruction failure. Since the posterior tibial slope is easily measured on the baseline X-rays, we recommend to perform this measurement routinely before each ACL reconstruction. In the case of a high posterior tibial slope, slope correction should be considered to prevent potential ACL reconstruction failure. Key words: anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, ACL graft failure, mor...
