AbstractPost-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and obesity share common risk factors; however, the effect of obesity on recovery from PTSD has not been assessed. We examined the association between body mass index (BMI) and recovery from PTSD after the Great East Japan Earthquake. We analyzed 4356 men and women with probable PTSD aged ≥ 16 years who were living in evacuation zones owing to the radiation accident in Fukushima, Japan. Recovery from probable PTSD was defined as Post-traumatic Stress Disorder Checklist-specific scores < 44. Using Poisson regression with robust error variance adjusted for confounders, we compared the prevalence ratios (PRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for this outcome in 2013 and 2014. Compared with point estimates for normal weight (BMI: 18.5–24.9 kg/m2), especially in 2013, those for underweight (BMI: < 18.5 kg/m2) and obesity (BMI: ≥ 30.0 kg/m2) tended to slightly increase and decrease, respectively, for recovery from probable PTSD. The multivariate-adjusted PRs (95% CIs) for underweight and obesity were 1.08 (0.88–1.33) and 0.85 (0.68–1.06), respectively, in 2013 and 1.02 (0.82–1.26) and 0.87 (0.69–1.09), respectively, in 2014. The results of the present study showed that obesity may be a useful predictor for probable PTSD recovery. Obese victims with PTSD would require more intensive support and careful follow-up for recovery.

Post-traumatic elbow stiffness is a major cause of functional impairment after elbow trauma. A stiff elbow limits patients’ ability to position their hand in space for optimal use of their upper extremities, and as such, is a frequent indication for reoperation. This article reviews current concepts on the pathogenesis of post-traumatic elbow stiffness. Current nonoperative treatment options include therapy, bracing, and manipulation under anesthesia, while operative treatment options include arthroscopic and open arthrolysis. The pros and cons of various treatment options are discussed, with a focus on the evidence supporting their use, the expected functional gains, and associated complications. Future directions in post-traumatic elbow stiffness are highlighted.

Stiff elbow is a common problem associated with terrible triad injuries which if not managed properly can lead to significant functional limitations. Here we are describing a case of post-traumatic stiff elbow following terrible triad who presented to us after taking native treatment primarily. He was treated with open arthrolysis and prophylactic ulnar nerve decompression along with rigorous physiotherapy including dynamic splinting with hinge elbow bracing. The results were satisfactory in achieving a functional range of movement according to the patient's vocational need. This study aims to present the prompt management of post-traumatic stiff elbow case along with functional improvement postoperatively in a decisive way. Terrible triad injuries are a group of the rare and severely unstable fracturedislocations following which the chance of recurrent instability, elbow stiffness, and functional limitations increases coherently.1 To perform normal daily activities, painless motion at the elbow joint is very much necessary and critical. Following a traumatic insult, a cascade of events can lead to a decrease in the normal arc of motion and also cause stiffness of the elbow joint.2 Over the last two decades, there has been a lot of speculation revolving around the management of terrible triad injuries.3 Van Riet et al had documented that the majority of the terrible triad injuries need to be managed surgically whereas the non-operative treatment is reserved for a few selected cases. 4 The ones which were not managed adequately had higher chances of turning up into stiff elbow. Post-traumatic elbow stiffness is one of the dreaded complications following terrible triad injuries.3 The aim of managing the case of post-traumatic stiff elbow is to have a painless, near-normal range of motion which can help the patient to do daily activities by himself. We are presenting a case of post-traumatic type- 4 stiff elbow following native bandage treatment and how prompt management has led to satisfactory results.
