Contrarily, the loss of reduction in the fracture line with an early motion negatively affects the results. This study aimed to evaluate the reliability of early active and passive motion without immobilization after surgical treatment and compare the results with the traditional rehabilitation program. Methods: This study included 86 patients who were fixed with miniplate screws. Patients were divided into two groups according to the rehabilitation programs. The first group had immobilization with orthosis and traditional rehabilitation program for 4 weeks, whereas the second group had an early active and passive joint range of motion exercises without immobilization. The first group included 37 males and 16 females with a mean age of 34.92±12.97 years who were followed for an average of 43.19±13.03 months. The second group included 23 males and 16 females with a mean age of 31.82±11.92 years who were followed for an average of 39.05±12.74 months. Results: No significant differences were determined between the groups in terms of age, female-male ratio, time from injury to surgery, follow-up period, fractured extremity, and dominant-non-dominant ratio. Additionally, no significant differences were found between the groups in terms of grip strength and time to return to work at the final follow-up. The total joint range of motion and Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand scores were significantly better in the second than the first group. Union at the fracture line without reduction loss was observed in both groups at the final follow-up. Conclusion: Fixation with miniplate screws provides stable fixation in extra-articular metacarpal fracture. Early active and passive motion without immobilization does not cause complications at the fracture line with this stable fixation. Contrarily, more successful results were obtained than the traditional rehabilitation program in terms of the range of motion and functional results.","PeriodicalId":56162,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Academic Research in Medicine-JAREM","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43398939","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}

Stereotactic body RT (SBRT) is a highly conformal RT technique that utilizes ultra-hypofractionated RT with 4-5 fractions, but the effect of SBRT on sexual function remains uncertain. This study aimed to analyze the possible relationship between SBRT and ED in patients with clinically localized prostate cancer. Methods: Between January 2013 and December 2019, the factors affecting ED were analyzed in 55 patients with preserved potency following SBRT +/− hormone therapy for lowto intermediate-risk prostate cancer. While planning RT, the penile bulb was delineated as an organ at risk (OAR) in the computed tomography scan. A total dose of 35-36.25 Gy was administered in five fractions of 7-7.25 Gy through alternating-day SBRT treatment with CyberKnife. Erectile function was assessed using the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) scale at baseline and 3 months, 1 year, and 2 years after SBRT. Groups were formed with respect to post-treatment potency, as measured by IIEF-5. Results: The median patient age was 68.5 years, and the median follow-up duration was 58 months. After SBRT, 56.4% of the patients had preserved potency. Age and inclusion of the proximal seminal vesicles in the planning target volume (PTV) were significantly different between the potency groups in the univariate analysis (p=0.028 and p=0.036). In the multivariable analysis, the PTV and inclusion of the proximal third of the seminal vesicles in the PTV were significant in the development of ED (p=0.038 and p=0.020). Conclusion: Although modern RT techniques are used in prostate cancer treatment, erectile function may be affected. Considering the complex mechanisms of ED, it would be erroneous to explain the decline in potency based only on dosimetric factors related to OAR doses.","PeriodicalId":56162,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Academic Research in Medicine-JAREM","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48527730","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}
