This study explores the efficacy of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections, alongside conventional physiotherapy, as a non-operative treatment to enhance recovery in patients with adhesive capsulitis.\u0000Methods: This prospective, randomized, open, blinded, single-center clinical study involving 50 patients with adhesive capsulitis, comparing intra-articular PRP injections and physical therapy with physical therapy alone over 24 weeks. Primary outcomes were assessed using the shoulder pain and disability index (SPADI) and visual analog scale (VAS), with follow-ups at 6, 12, and 24 weeks to evaluate pain, function, and patient satisfaction.\u0000Results: In adhesive capsulitis (AC), intra-articular platelet-rich plasma (IA-PRP) injections with physical therapy (PT) provided superior pain relief, functional improvement, and higher treatment satisfaction after 24 weeks compared to PT alone. The IA-PRP group also showed better VAS scores and reduced acetaminophen use, indicating more effective pain management.\u0000Conclusions: In AC, IA-PRP injections showed greater pain relief and improved shoulder mobility compared to PT alone after 12 weeks. PRP's effectiveness highlights its potential, especially when corticosteroids are unsuitable, though longer-term studies are needed to confirm these results.","PeriodicalId":506251,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Research in Orthopaedics","volume":" 35","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141365931","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}

Surgical options for genu valgum correction involve osteotomy or guided growth procedures, with distal femur osteotomy being common in late adolescents and adults, though limited literature exists on outcomes with Kirschner wires (K-wires) and plate fixation. A prospective study is proposed to assess clinical, radiological, and functional outcomes in correcting genu valgum from the distal femur.\u0000Methods: A prospective, randomized, single-center clinical trial with 50 patients with genu valgum deformity not responsive to conservative management. Patients underwent thorough pre-operative evaluation followed by medial closed wedge osteotomy with K-wire or plate fixation. Assessment at 24 weeks included Bostman et al knee scoring, visual analog scale (VAS), passive range of motion evaluation, Likert scale and findings were compared.\u0000Results: Cohort of 50 patients, comprising 55% females and 45% males, with a mean age of 20.76 years, no significant differences were observed in age distribution or gender between the two treatment groups (K wire fixation and plate osteosynthesis). At 24 weeks, there were no significant differences between the groups in terms of Bostman knee score, VAS score, or range of motion, indicating similar outcomes with both treatment modalities.\u0000Conclusions: Distal femoral medial closing wedge osteotomy with K-wire fixation offers a cost-effective and practical solution for genu valgum correction, particularly beneficial in resource-limited settings like India, providing comparable outcomes to plate fixation in late adolescents.","PeriodicalId":506251,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Research in Orthopaedics","volume":"154 11‐12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141381142","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}

Suture anchor devices are used in arthroscopic surgeries to reattach ligaments or other soft tissues to bone. The goal of this study was to evaluate the safety and functional outcomes after shoulder ligament repair.\u0000Methods: This is a multicentric, retrospective, observational study conducted on patients who underwent primary arthroscopic shoulder ligament tear repair between April 2018 to July 2022, using Sironix suture anchors at Kumaran Hospital and Rela Institute, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India, and DNV Ortho Care Hospital, Dharmapuri, Tamil Nadu, India. A total of 75 patients were included. Post-surgery measurements of functional outcomes were performed using the PENN shoulder score, simple shoulder test questionnaire, shoulder pain and disability index, and single assessment numerical evaluation. Adverse events were recorded.\u0000Results: At post-surgery follow-up visits, there was a significant improvement in the functional outcomes of all the patients. The PENN shoulder score had a mean (SD) pain score of 92.04 (7.50), a satisfaction score of 91.87 (8.00), and a function score of 93.18 (6.16), respectively. The mean (SD) SST score and SPADI score was 88.9 (9.7), and 2.8 (2.79) respectively.
