M a i n r e s u l t s 44 studies (3193 mainly female and older patients with 3197 fractures) with 23 different comparisons met the selection criteria, with follow-up ranging from 6 weeks to 10 years. Summarizing the outcomes was impeded by the poor quality and variation in study methods, interventions, patient characteristics, and outcomes. Some anatomic and functional outcomes (Table) were bet...

Method The first concept is the mathematical model of circled helicoid. In the torso column, the generating circle is perpendicular to the axis. To obtain a torso column in the opposite side of scoliosis, the superposition of three electronic instantaneous full 3D moldings are necessary: First molding in self active axial elongation for pelvis and shoulders Second molding in lumbar shift and ph...

BACKGROUND Up to 30% of patients suffer from long-term functional restrictions following conservative treatment of distal radius fractures. Whether duration of cast immobilisation influences functional outcome remains unclear. METHODS/DESIGN The aim of the study is to evaluate whether the duration of immobilization of non or minimally displaced distal radial fractures can be safely reduced. W...

BACKGROUND Fixed combination calcipotriol as hydrate (Cal) 50 µg/g plus betamethasone as dipropionate (BD) 0.5 mg/g aerosol foam is an alcohol-free treatment for psoriasis. Betamethasone 17-valerate 2.25 mg (BV)-medicated plasters are recommended for treating psoriasis plaques localized in difficult-to-treat (DTT; elbow, knee, anterior face of the tibia) areas. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study...

BACKGROUND Osteoarthritis is a relatively common musculoskeletal disorder that increases in prevalence with age. Worldwide, knee osteoarthritis is one of the leading causes of disability, particularly in the elderly. In numerous trials of agents for long-term pain therapy, no well-established and replicable results have been achieved. Complementary and alternative medical approaches have been e...

OBJECTIVE Therapeutic approach of osteoarthritis (OA) still represents a challenge in clinical practice. The aim of the study is to assess the efficacy of far infrared (FIR) emitting plaster in the treatment of knee OA. DESIGN This is a randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group with equal randomization (1:1), clinical trial. Patients affected by knee OA were randomly alloca...
