Download or read book A Comparison of the Outcomes of Two Rehabilitation Protocols After Flexor Tendon Repair of the Hand at Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital written by Roxanne Wentzel and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flexor tendon repair of the hand and rehabilitation are frequently discussed between hand surgeons and therapists. This is mainly due to the poor outcomes commonly achieved after this type of surgery. There are many patients in public hospitals in South Africa who require flexor tendon repair surgery. They are regularly sent to therapists for rehabilitation, where the early passive motion protocol is commonly implemented. Although the early active motion protocol has yielded improved results globally, there is limited evidence on the comparison of the outcomes of these two protocols in the South African context. The aim of the study was to compare the outcomes of an early active motion protocol to the outcomes of an early passive motion protocol in patients with zone II to IV flexor tendon repairs of the hand, attending rehabilitation at Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital. The study was a quantitative single-blinded comparative controlled trial. Forty-six patients who sustained a zone II-IV flexor tendon injury were recruited for the study and equally distributed between the two groups (early active motion and early passive motion). Out of these participants, 11 did not return for the initial assessment at four weeks post-surgery and were therefore excluded. There were 19 participants in the early active motion group and 16 participants in the early passive motion group. Results were collected and classified at 4, 8 and 12 weeks post-surgery. Data collection took place from December 2014 to January 2016 in the Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital Hand Unit. At 12 weeks post-surgery, the total active motion, fingertip to table, and distal palmar crease measurements were similar between the two groups. Tendon rupture occurred in 8.57% (n=3, early active motion = 5.71%, early passive motion = 2.86%) of patients. This study found that there was no difference in outcomes between the two groups. Therefore, either protocol could be implemented in South African public hospitals. However, since the early active motion protocol takes less time to implement, this protocol is recommended. A study with a greater magnitude would be necessary to determine a significant comparison between the two groups; however, this is challenging due to poor patient compliance.

Download or read book Sagittal Balance of the Spine written by Pierre Roussouly and published by Thieme. This book was released on 2019-07-25 with total page 736 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unique resource from internationally renowned experts details the key role of sagittal spine balance Through evolution, human verticality became associated with a wide range of normal pelvic shapes and associated pelvic incidence angles (PIs). While all types of sagittal alignment generally provide adequate support to young adults, age, stress, and related degeneration can progressively lead to sagittal imbalance and contribute to various spinal pathologies. Sagittal Balance of the Spine by Pierre Roussouly, João Luiz Pinheiro-Franco, Hubert Labelle, Martin Gehrchen, and a cadre of esteemed international contributors focuses on the importance of sagittal alignment and spino-pelvic shape identification in clinical practice. Offering the most comprehensive text on sagittal balance to date, this state-of-the-art, richly illustrated book fills a void in the literature, offering clinical pearls throughout seven sections and 24 chapters. Key Highlights The biomechanics of sagittal balance including spine modeling, primary parameters, spinal curves segmentation, and lumbar lordosis classification The role of sagittal balance in low back pain and degeneration, with discussion of spinal orientation and the contact forces theory, spinal degeneration associated with spinopelvic morphotypes, and compensatory mechanisms Comprehensive analysis of the relationship between sagittal imbalance and isthmic lysis spondylolisthesis, degenerative spondylolisthesis, Scheuermann's kyphosis, adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, and adult scoliosis Posterior and anterior treatment approaches – from spinal fixation and spinal fusion – to spinal osteotomy techniques and management of surgical failure This text is essential reading for every neurosurgical and orthopaedic resident, as well as veteran surgeons who evaluate and treat patients with spine conditions. Clinicians will learn why incorporating sagittal balance evaluations into spinal exams is integral to devising more effective treatment strategies and achieving improved outcomes.
