This retrospective study compared the clinical and functional outcomes of patients diagnosed with an idiopathic frozen shoulder with symptom onset of a maximum of six months, treated by arthroscopic capsular release followed by corticosteroid injection and physiotherapy to patients who received only corticosteroid injection followed by physiotherapy. The patients who underwent arthroscopic capsular release, intraoperative corticosteroid injection, and physiotherapy (Group I, n = 30) or received only corticosteroids injection and physiotherapy (Group II, n = 29) were examined in terms of shoulder range of motion (ROM), pain intensity, and function before a given treatment and three, six, and twelve months later. The groups were comparable pre-treatment in terms of ROM, pain, and functional outcome. Group I had statistically and clinically significantly better ROM and function at three and six months post-treatment than Group II. Despite being statistically significant, the between-group differences at twelve-month follow-up in ROM and function were too small to be considered clinically notable. The between-group comparison of pain revealed no significant differences at any post-treatment point of time. The early arthroscopic capsular release preceding corticosteroid injection and physiotherapy seemed more effective at three- and six-month follow-up; however, it brought a comparable result to corticosteroid injection and subsequent physiotherapy at twelve months follow-up.

And Function

A retrospective study of the Chevron osteotomy procedure for hallux valgus was carried out on 112 patients (168 feet) with an average age of 39.7 years (range 19 to 61 years). The average follow-up was 4.4 years (range 13 months to 7.5 years). The preoperative diagnosis was symptomatic hallux valgus. The average preoperative intermetatarsal 1–2 angle was 15.5° (range 11° to 18°) and the hallux valgus angle was 28.1° (range 21° to 42°). The operation was effective in improving symptoms, cosmesis, and function and in decreasing the deformity.

BACKGROUND Digital physical therapy (DPT) programs deliver physical therapy (PT) via a mobile app to privately-insured employees as an employer-sponsored healthcare benefit. Although evidence shows that some DPT clinical outcomes are comparable to in-person care, no research examines how DPT delivers these outcomes. We evaluated a DPT program that delivered care through an app including initial video PT evaluations, follow-up video visits and in-app chat. Participants also accessed prescribed workouts, education and therapeutic activities assigned by their physical therapists (PTs) in the app. OBJECTIVE This study examined the correlates of “good” outcomes in DPT, defined as minimal clinically important differences (MCIDs) in pain and function as well as patient satisfaction. It then examined the effects of the strength of the patient-provider relationship and timely access to care on participation in DPT. METHODS We conducted an observational retrospective study of 814 pre and post surveyed DPT participants, 18 years and older, enrolled in DPT from February 2019 through December 2020 using generalized linear models. Binary variables defined participants with MCIDs in pain and function as the clinical outcomes. “Satisfied” participants had Net Promoter Scores of 9-10 on a final survey question capturing participants’ likelihood to recommend the program. Program participation included workouts per week and number of weeks in the program. RESULTS Clinically meaningful outcomes in DPT are directly affected by program participation. The odds participants had MCIDs in pain increased by 13% (p<0.01) for each additional weekly workout completed and the odds they had MCIDs in function increased by a factor of 1.04 (p<0.05) with each additional week in the program. Participant’s satisfaction was greater for those with significant changes in pain and function and more virtual visits. Participants with MCIDs in function and large changes in pain were approximately 1.85 (p<0.01) and 2.84 (p<0.0001) times more satisfied, respectively. Those with virtual visits beyond their initial evaluation were approximately 2-3 times (p<0.01) more satisfied. Direct access to and virtual visits with PTs were associated with great participation. Each additional PT-initiated message per week increased weekly workouts by 11% (p<0.0001). Virtual follow-up visits increased weekly workouts and weeks in the program by factors between 1 and 2. Access to a PT within 24 hours was associated with a 14% increase in workouts per week. CONCLUSIONS Program participation (program length and frequency of exercise) are associated with clinical outcomes in a DPT program. Satisfaction is affected by both virtual face-to-face visits and clinically meaningful changes in pain and function. Participation in DPT, which drives outcomes, is secured by strong relationships between PTs and patients as well as timely access to a PT.

ABSTRACT Objective: This study aimed to explore the clinical application of preoperative precise design for 3D printing and thumb reconstruction, which could help manage the patients with thumb defect and achieve better function and appearance. Methods: This was a retrospective study of 20 patients who underwent the surgery of harvesting toe transplant and thumb reconstruction between January 2015 and December 2016. The 3D model of the thumb defect was created and printed. The dimensions of skin and bones from donor site were precisely designed as reference for surgical operation. The surgery was performed according to the model. Results: Perfect repair of defects was achieved with satisfying appearance and function. The reconstructed thumbs all survived (survival rate of 100%). Follow-up was 3-9 months. The maximum dorsiflexion was 8-30° and the maximum flexion was 38-58°. The two-point sensory discrimination was 9-11 mm. In total, 17 patients reposted “Excellent” satisfaction and three “Good”, each for the reconstructed thumb and hand function, respectively. The satisfaction rate was 85%. Conclusion: Preoperative digital design and 3D printing according to the donor and recipient sites allowed a tailored operation. The operation was more precise, the appearance of the reconstructed thumb was good. Level of Evidence II, Retrospective Study.

UNSTRUCTURED The retrospective study of Taylor's three-dimensional external fixator for the treatment of tibiofibular fractures provides a theoretical basis for the application of this technology. The paper collected 28 patients with tibiofibular fractures from the Department of Orthopaedics in our hospital from March 2015 to June 2018. After the treatment, the follow-up evaluation of Taylor's three-dimensional external fixator for the treatment of tibiofibular fractures and concurrency the incidence of the disease, as well as the efficacy and occurrence of the internal fixation of the treatment of tibial fractures in our hospital. The results showed that Taylor's three-dimensional external fixator was superior to orthopaedics in the treatment of tibiofibular fractures in terms of efficacy and complications. To this end, the thesis research can be concluded as follows: Taylor three-dimensional external fixation in the treatment of tibiofibular fractures is more effective, and the incidence of occurrence is low, is a new technology for the treatment of tibiofibular fractures, it is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective: This study evaluates skeletal and dental outcomes of LeFort I advancement surgery in patients with cleft lip and palate (CLP) with varying degrees of maxillary skeletal hypoplasia. Design: Retrospective study. Method: Lateral cephalograms were digitized at preoperative (T1), immediately postoperative (T2), and 1-year follow-up (T3) and compared to untreated unaffected controls. Based on the severity of cleft maxillary hypoplasia, the sample was divided into 3 groups using Wits analysis: mild: ≤0 to ≥−5 mm; moderate: <−5 to >−10 mm; and severe: ≤−10 mm. Participants: Fifty-one patients with nonsyndromic CLP with hypoplastic maxilla who met inclusion criteria. Intervention: LeFort I advancement. Main Outcome Measure: Skeletal and dental stability post-LeFort I surgery at a 1-year follow-up. Results: At T2, LeFort I surgery produced an average correction of maxillary hypoplasia by 6.4 ± 0.6, 8.1 ± 0.4, and 10.7 ± 0.8 mm in the mild, moderate, and severe groups, respectively. There was a mean relapse of 1 to 1.5 mm observed in all groups. At T3, no statistically significant differences were observed between the surgical groups and controls at angle Sella, Nasion, A point (SNA), A point, Nasion, B point (ANB), and overjet outcome measures. Conclusions: LeFort I advancement produces a stable correction in mild, moderate, and severe skeletal maxillary hypoplasia. Overcorrection is recommended in all patients with CLP to compensate for the expected postsurgical skeletal relapse.
