Filter by:a randomized controlled trial tends to compare 2 rehabilitation approaches - early passive mobilization (EPM) and controlled active motion (CAM) - that are commonly used in the treatment of post-surgical flexor tendon repair of the hand
Although outcomes after flexor tendon repair have reportedly improved with modern treatment, complications are common. Early passive and active motion protocols have improved outcomes of flexor tendon repairs. One potential complication of early motion occurs when the forces produced by this motion exceed the strength of the repair, which leads to gap formation and inhibits healing. Wide Awake Local Anesthesia No Tournique (WALANT) is a new anesthesia technique that has gained popularity among plastic surgeons. It was developed by Dr. Lalonde in Canada, and it involves the use of Lidocaine and adrenaline in the surgical site to control bleeding without the need for a tourniquet. Peripheral nerve blocks are overall safe when performed correctly, there are rare but serious risks associated with them. Risks include block failure, bleeding, infection, damage to surrounding structures, permanent nerve injury, and intravascular uptake of local anesthetic resulting in systemic toxicity.
The goal of this observational study is to compare the use of a screw made of human bone (Shark-Screw®, Surgebright-GmbH) with the metal/Bio-Tenodesis screw (Arthrex) in the treatment of the symptomatic flatfoot using the medializing calcaneus osteotomy with flexor digitorum longus transfer (FDL) in adult patients. The advantage of the human bone screw is that after surgery no hardware removal is necessary. The screw is transformed from the body to normal bone. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Can the human bone screw achieve union rates like the metal/Bio-Tenodesis screw? - Is the time to union similar between the different screws? - Is the complication rate similar between the different screws? - Are the activity scores American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS), Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS) and Foot Function Index (FFI) after surgery similar in the compared patient groups? Participants will have - the surgery - follow-ups at 6 weeks, 6 months, 1 and 2 years. - X-rays are performed at each follow up. - CT-scans are performed after 6 months. - activity scores are collected at the follow up after 6 months, 1 year and 2 years.
The aim of our study is to determine the effect of activity-based intervention on the activity, participation levels and kinesiophobia (fear of movement) of the patients by evaluating the person, environment and activity using the Person-Environment-Occupation model (PEO) in the rehabilitation of hand forearm flexor tendon injuries.
The aim of the study is to investigate the psychometric properties of the German Version of the Michigan Hand Questionnaire in patients with flexor tendon injuries, including reliability, validity and interpretability.
The primary objective is to compare the two different rehabilitation protocols relative motion flexion and short splint regarding patients'satisfaction in patients with flexor tendon injuries in Zone I and II after 13 and 26 weeks post-surgery.
