Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the functional results of our management of neglected radiocarpal dislocation. Patient and method: This was a retrospective and descriptive study of five cases of neglected radiocarpal dislocation between January 2011 and December 2020. Patients were collected from various hospitals in Abidjan, Ivory Coast (some private centers and the orthopaedic surgery and trauma department of Cocody University Hospital). The minimum consultation time was 11 weeks. The initial treatment was traditional in 3 cases and failure of hospital treatment in 2 cases. Lesions were classified according to the Dumontier classification. Treatment was surgical in all cases. Functional results were assessed using the Quick DASH score and the modified Green and O'Brien score. Results: Patients were assessed for function at a minimum follow-up of 24 months. The total Quick DASH score was obtained using the formula: [(Sum) × 1.1] × 5/2. The mean Quick DASH score was 88.55 (extremes: 74.25 and 99). The mean modified Green and O'brien score was 96 (extremes: 80 and 100). Conclusion: Our functional results were satisfactory overall, as demonstrated by assessments using recognised and reliable tools.

Current non-surgical solutions to treat chronic knee pain provide limited relief of symptoms. The present study aims to assess the long-term effect of a biomechanical, non-invasive intervention on total knee replacement (TKR) incidence and the utilization of healthcare resources over five years. Methods: This was a retrospective study among older adults with chronic knee pain, primarily due to OA, who received the biomechanical intervention between 2014 and 2017. An independent survey institute contacted patients between August and September 2022 to confirm their surgical status and utilization of other healthcare services, covering at least five years of follow-up. During the intervention, patients were provided with a FDA-cleared shoe-like device, which includes two convex pods attached to the sole. The pods are attached to the shoe in a customized manner based on the patient's gait and pain (i.e., calibrated). The device shifts the foot's center of pressure to reduce the knee joint load and alleviate pain. The device also creates controlled perturbation that challenges gait and posture stability and creates neuromuscular training. Patients were instructed to wear the device for up to 2-3 hours a day during their daily routine and invited to follow-up sessions for treatment modifications. Results: Four hundred and fourteen patients responded to the survey. Their mean (SD) age was 66.5 (4.2) years, 65% were women and 82% of patients were diagnosed with knee OA. At five years since inception, the TKR incidence rate was 18.4% with 95% CI (14.6%, 22.1%). Most responders (79%) reported using other healthcare resources and services to treat their knee pain before the intervention. Of them, 64% ceased receiving intra-articular injections to the knee, 44% discontinued using pain medication and 46% stopped receiving physiotherapy. Conclusion: This biomechanical, non-invasive intervention is a beneficial and sustainable intervention that reduces healthcare resource utilization, including avoidance of TKR and chronic knee pain. With the constant increase in the prevalence of chronic knee pain, offering this intervention to patients can help address the increasing burden on the healthcare system and society.

Physical activity is an effective way of self-managing MSKD. Global health policy routinely recommends the instigation of management approaches to support people with MSKD to engage in physical activity. However, there is considerable heterogeneity in outcome measurement and establishing whether interventions are effective or not. A way of addressing this is to develop a core outcome set (COS). This study aims to identify a COS for exercise and physical activity interventions for people with MSKD. Methods: Guidance from the COMET initiative was followed. The study had two phases. 1) A systematic search of effectiveness studies investigating interventions that aim to increase physical activity levels in people with MSKD was conducted. All outcome concepts evaluated were extracted from the included studies. 2) Patients with MSKD and expert stakeholders then participated in an online and workshop-based consensus process. In accordance with other COS development studies, 70% agreement was required for a concept to be included in the final COS. Results: Phase 1: 25 studies were identified from the systematic searches and 50 conceptually different outcomes were extracted. Phase 2: 14 group members were recruited to the consensus phase. Function, Patient satisfaction, Physical activity, Quality of Life, Pain, Cost-effectiveness, Self-efficacy, Knowledge to plan future exercise, Utilisation of health services were the concepts that reached the 70% threshold for inclusion in the final COS. Conclusions: This study provides a COS that could provide an outcome measurement strategy in interventions that aim to increase exercise and physical activity in people with MSKD.","PeriodicalId":16374,"journal":{"name":"Journal of musculoskeletal disorders and treatment","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79870762","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Besides conservative treatments, ozone therapy is getting attention due to its safety and effectiveness. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of ozone therapy in lowering pain and tenderness and improving joint function. Methods: Patients clinically diagnosed with LE were included in our study. Baseline assessments including age, gender, involved elbow, tenderness, pain, and function scores were done. All the patients underwent up to ten sessions of ozone injection in the pain site. Each injection was between six to ten ml of 30 µg/ml ozone gas into the lateral epicondyle. After the treatment regimen, tenderness, pain, and function scores were assessed. Results: Of the 28 patients with LE, 16 and 12 were female and male, respectively. More than 80% had high physical activities with their involved elbow. Comparing the pain, tenderness, and function before and after the treatment, all parameters were statistically improved (P < 0.05). These results were consistent in both men and women subgroups. Conclusion: Ozone therapy is a safe and effective procedure in patients with LE to reduce pain and tenderness, in addition to improving performance. However, large clinical trials are warranted to compare ozone injection with routinely used treatments by clinicians.","PeriodicalId":16374,"journal":{"name":"Journal of musculoskeletal disorders and treatment","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87130596","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The conventional TKA technique could result in a high number of outliers in limb alignment and are related to a high rate of residual symptoms. Robotically assisted (RA) surgery was introduced to improve these results. Recent studies showed this technique is associated to lower costs, better accuracy in implant placement and limb alignment, improvement in function and patient satisfaction. RA technique is also related to less blood loss, less bone resection and smaller aggression to soft tissues. Besides that, this brings better ergonomics to the surgeon with less caloric waste. In this way, by the benefits showed, the adhesion to the robotic surgery must be encouraged.","PeriodicalId":16374,"journal":{"name":"Journal of musculoskeletal disorders and treatment","volume":"8 Suppl 2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89916127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
