We evaluated\u0000the patients’ pain status with the Visual Pain Scale (VAS), their functional status with the WOMAC Osteoarthritis Index\u0000(WOMAC), their kinesiophobia with the TAMPA Scale for Kinesiophobia (TKS), and their physical activity levels with the\u0000International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF). We performed all statistical analyses using SPSS 25.0\u0000(SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, ABD) and p-value < 0.05 was accepted as statistically significant.\u0000Results: The majority of the participants were females (76.1%, n=67), and the mean body mass index (BMI) was found to be\u000030.33. The findings revealed low positive correlations between the patients’ BMI and their VAS (p=0.029) and WOMAC scores (p=0.017). While we found a moderate positive relationship between the patients’ VAS and WOMAC scores (p=0.001), it was low between their TAMPA and WOMAC scores (p=0.001).\u0000Conclusion: As a result of the study, the relationship between pain, kinesiophobia, functional status and physical activity levels of individuals with knee OA was revealed; The necessity of planning applications to increase the physical activity level of these individuals and to reduce their body mass index has been underlined.","PeriodicalId":313405,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Orthopedics Research and Rehabilitation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125093238","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}

Patients were divided into two groups: Balneotherapy and physical therapy group (n=30) and physical therapy group (n=30). Balneotherapy group hospitalized for 20 minutes a day every day for 3 weeks to balneotherapy sessions with 40°C thermomineral water and 5 days a week for 3 weeks to 15 sessions of physical therapy session. Physical therapy group recieved 5 days a week for 3 weeks to 15 sessions of physical therapy session in the treatment unit Both groups recieved ultrason treatment which has 1.5W/cm 2 dose and 1MHz frequency for 6 minutes, Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) (50-100 Hz) for 20 minutes and hot pack for 20 minutes as physical therapy. Patients in both groups were given a patient-based standardized lumbar exercise in addition to physical therapy. The following parameters were measured: Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain intensity, Short Form-36 (SF-36) to evaluate guality of life, Oswestry Disability lndex (ODI) to evaluate functional disability and Symptom Check List-90 to query psychological symptoms. First evaluations were done at the beginning of treatment and second evaluations were done at the end of treatment before and after treatment.\u0000 Results: We observed more significant decrease in VAS scores in the group administered balneotherapy (FT+BT) and physical therapy compared with the group treated only physical therapy (FT) (p0,05). At the end of treatment in FT+BT group subscale of guality of life; Physical role limitations, mental health, pain and general health were significantly higher than the FT group (p0,05). In FT+BT group except social functioning and in FT group except vitality and general health, ali other dimensions of guality of life showed significant improvement (p0,05). Although pretreatment disability rate of FT+BT is more, in this group decline of scores were more (30.4% to 14.2%). When compared to before and after treatment scores on the SCL-90 sub-parameters in FT+BT individuals were significantly different in ali the sub-parameters but in FT group except phobic anxiety and paranoid ideation, found significant differences in other parameters (p0,05).

Medicinal leeches have been part of the therapeutic armamenterium of hand surgeons for more than 60 years. Venous congestion after digital replantation or revascularization threatens digit survival in theimmediate postoperative period. External bloodletting, including leech therapy, provides a central role in salvage of the congested finger. Although there have been previous studies few published articles and no consensus guidelines have discussed the weaning of leeches in the postoperative period.describing the initiation of leech therapy for digits experiencing venous insufficiency\u0000 Methods: Analyzing articles on treatment and follow-up after finger replantation published between 2000 and 2022 on the treatment of venous congestion after finger replantation and revascularization. We conducted a systematic review, taking into account the studies that applied leech therapy. The collected data revealed the relevant indications, treatment procedures, efficacy, adjuvant treatments, side effects.\u0000 Results: For this indication, the success rate of leech therapy ranged from 65 to 85% (83.7% in our series) according to the situations encountered. Optimal frequency of application ranged from 2 to 8 hours, while average overall duration ranged from 4 to 10 days. Antibiotic prophylaxis against Aeromonas is highly advisable. A ciprofloxacin and trimethoprim-sulfametoxazole combination currently appears as the most relevant prophylactic antibiotherapy.\u0000 Conclusion: Hirudotherapy is a reliable treatment in cases of patent venous insufficiency of only artery only digit replantation.

Age, sex, fracture etiology an length of hospitalization were recorded. Fractures were classified according to the Association for Osteosynthesis(AO) classification. Nonunion rates as assessed by X-ray during visits, angulation, shoulder, elbow and hand disability scores were evaluated using the DASH, Mayo Elbow and UCLA Shoulder scoring, and Stewart Hundley criteria.\u0000 Results: There was no significant epidemiological difference between the groups. The length of hospitalization was lower in the TEN group. There was no significant difference in nonunion rates and functional scores according to the type of treatment. Angulation rate was slightly higher in the TEN group. The effect of angulation on functional score showed no influence on the functional status. The three treatment types mostly achieved excellent and good outcomes.\u0000 Conclusion: Our study results suggest that TEN seems to be a good alternative treatment in eligible patients with humeral shaft fractures considering complications of other treatments.
