RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Shoulder dislocation, particularly anterior dislocation, is a common orthopedic injury often presenting in emergency care settings, characterized by significant pain and muscle spasms. Prompt reduction is essential to alleviate symptoms and restore function. The Cunningham technique employs gentle pulling and massage motions targeted at the muscles and has emerged as a promising method for reducing anterior shoulder dislocations. However, its reported success rates vary widely across studies, and questions remain regarding its efficacy, particularly in cases of failure. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Cunningham technique for reducing anterior shoulder dislocations and its potential role in providing analgesia and muscle relaxation as an adjunctive method. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted on patients presenting with acute anterior shoulder dislocation at a single center. Reduction using the Cunningham technique was performed initially, followed by the external rotation technique if unsuccessful. Procedural sedation and analgesia were administered if the reduction was still not achieved, and shoulder dislocation reduction was performed again through the external rotation method. The patients' VAS scores were recorded and evaluated the Cunningham technique's effectiveness in reduction and whether it increases the effectiveness of other techniques applied for reduction by lowering the VAS score, even in cases where it is not effective. RESULTS: A total of 61 patients were included in the study. The reduction was performed using the Cunningham technique in 34.4% (21/61) patients, the external rotation technique in 47.5% (29/61) patients, and the external rotation technique with PSA in 18% (11/61) patients. Significant differences were observed in the duration of hospital stay among the three techniques, with ER with PSA resulting in the longest stay. VAS scores showed significant improvements from initial presentation to post-reduction in all three groups. A significant decrease in pre-reduction VAS scores was observed during the transition from the Cunningham technique to other techniques. CONCLUSION: The Cunningham technique showed effectiveness in reducing anterior shoulder dislocations, providing analgesia, and muscle relaxation. It demonstrated favorable outcomes as an initial reduction technique, with the external rotation technique used as a subsequent option. Further studies comparing the success rates and complications of the Cunningham technique with other reduction methods are warranted to establish its role in clinical practice.

OBJECTIVE: Frozen shoulder (FS) is a painful and debilitating condition affecting the shoulder joint. When patients fail to improve after conservative treatments, operative treatments including arthroscopic capsular release (ACR) and manipulation under anesthesia (MUA) are recommended. However, the comparison between these two interventions remains controversial. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of ACR and MUA for refractory FS. METHODS: A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were searched for eligible studies until December 10, 2023. Meta-analyses were conducted using Manager V.5.3.3. Pooled effect sizes were expressed as the weighted mean difference (WMD) or odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS: A total of eight comparative studies with 768 patients were included. Compared with MUA, ACR had statistically better Δ VAS (WMD, -0.44; 95% CI, -0.71 to -0.18; I2 = 6%; p = 0.001) at over 12-month follow-up, which did not reach the minimal clinically important difference (MCID). Other outcomes regarding pain relief, function, and range of motion (ROM) improvements were not statistically different between the two groups at different follow-up timepoints. Compared with the MUA group, the ACR group had a significantly higher rate of severe complications (OR, 4.14; 95% CI, 1.01 to 16.94; I2 = 0%; p = 0.05), but comparable rates of mild complications and additional intervention. CONCLUSIONS: In treating refractory FS, ACR demonstrated comparable pain relief, functional and ROM improvements, rates of mild complications and additional intervention but a higher risk of severe complications to MUA during short-term follow-up periods. Notably, ACR exhibited statistically superior improvement in the long-term pain relief compared to the MUA group, although it did not reach the MCID.

ABSTRACT: Radial head subluxation, or nursemaid's elbow, is a common orthopedic complaint in children and often is the result of a pulling injury to the affected arm. Although this injury largely is a clinical diagnosis, different imaging modalities may be used to identify it and confirm successful reduction. Multiple manipulative techniques can be used to treat this injury and methods are generally specific to clinician preference. This article reviews the causes, evaluation, and management of radial head subluxation.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Reduction manipulation using self-reduction procedures such as Stimson, Milch, and Boss-Holtzach should be easy and effective and also require less force, pain medication, and outside assistance. This technique should not cause damage to arteries, nerves, or shoulder joint components. Self-reduction is straightforward and can be done in clinics, making it ideal for people who suffer from shoulder joint dislocation frequently. The goal of this study is to compare the effectiveness of supervised self-reduction procedures vs. physician-assisted treatments in the treatment of anterior shoulder dislocations. METHOD: We conducted a comprehensive search on PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane up to March 22, 2023, using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) checklist. Relevant articles were reviewed, with a focus on studies comparing supervised self-reduction techniques to physician-assisted techniques in cases of anterior shoulder dislocation. RESULTS: Four papers in all were included in the meta-analysis. One prospective trial, one case-control study, one randomized clinical trial, and one retrospective trial made up these studies. The studies involved 283 patients in the physician-assisted group and 180 patients in the supervised self-reduction group. They were carried out in four European countries: Italy, Germany, Portugal, and Spain. The success rate of supervised self-reduction techniques was significantly higher, with an odds ratio of 2.71 (95% CI 1.25-5.58, p-value = 0.01). Based on the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score, the physician-assisted group reported significantly higher maximum pain, with a mean difference of 1.98 (95% CI 1.24-2.72, p-value < 0.01). The self-reduction approaches exhibit shorter reduction time in comparison to physician-assisted groups. In addition, the self-reduction groups do not document any complications. Based on the GRADE system, the level of assurance in the evidence was high. CONCLUSION: Supervised self-reduction techniques outperform in terms of success rate and reduction-related maximum pain. These techniques could be used as an effective first-line treatment for anterior shoulder dislocation, potentially reducing the need for analgesics and emergency room visits.

Congenital radial head subluxation is relatively rare and may be overlooked due to mild symptoms. The diagnosis mainly relies on imaging and history. Observation is an option for those with insignificant symptoms, while surgical intervention, such as ulnar osteotomy or arthroscopy, is often required when dysfunction exists. A 30-year-old man was admitted with congenital radial head dislocation, which was treated with manipulative repositioning. During follow-up, the patient regained the original mobility of the elbow joint and had no recurrence of dislocation. In conclusion, in adults with congenital dislocation of the radial head, we recommend conservative treatment as a first step.

BACKGROUND: Management of acute shoulder dislocation in the emergency department (ED) is common. OBJECTIVE: This study describes the rate, risk factors, and length of stay (LOS) associated with shoulder dislocation reduction failure in the ED. METHODS: The study was a retrospective case-control study of patients 18 years and older presenting to the ED with acute shoulder dislocation who underwent attempted reduction. Patients with successful reduction on post-reduction first confirmatory imaging are compared with those requiring multiple attempts. RESULTS: Of 398 ED encounters when a shoulder reduction was attempted in the ED, 18.8% (75/398 [95% CI 15.2-22.9%]) required multiple reduction attempts. Patients with successful reduction on first confirmatory imaging were more commonly male (80.2% [95% CI 75.6-84.3%] vs. 68.0% [95% CI 56.8-77.8%]; p = 0.0220), discharged home from the ED (95.4% [95% CI 92.6-97.3%] vs. 84.0% [95% CI 74.4-91.0%]; p = 0.0004), reduced using a traction/countertraction technique (42.1% [95% CI 36.8-47.6%] vs. 29.3% [95% CI 19.9-40.4%]; p = 0.0415), and less likely to have a pre-reduction fracture (26.0% [95% CI 21.4-31.0%] vs. 45.3% [95% CI 34.4-56.7%]; p = 0.0010). Mean length of stay (LOS) for those with successful reduction on first confirmatory imaging was 2 hours and 8 minutes shorter than for those with more than one attempt (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The rate of failed first-pass reduction is higher than previously reported. Furthermore, the ED LOS was significantly longer in patients requiring multiple attempts. Knowledge of the failure rate and risk factors may raise physician awareness and guide future studies evaluating approaches for verification of reduction success.

Spinal and extremity thrust joint manipulation (TJM) has been shown to be an effective intervention when treating patients with various musculoskeletal conditions. Learning skilled TJM requires the proper execution of many discrete tasks. If any of these are missing, effectiveness and safety may be limited. While it is accepted that practice and feedback are important when physical therapists are learning clinical tasks, the best type of practice has not been identified for learning to perform TJM tasks. In this paper, we propose an educational model for instruction of joint manipulation that: 1) standardizes feedback terminology and 2) describes a core set of four discrete tasks (lift, drop, pull, and combination-rotation) that apply to most TJM tasks. The model includes instructing TJM tasks followed by identifying key errors related to the components of setup and thrust. Once these key errors have been identified, intentional practice activities are provided to address the noted positional and movement errors. Finally, reassessment is performed to determine if errors have diminished. This model is similar to the test-retest approach that is commonly used when treating patients. We hope this educational model will provide a framework for teaching TJM and will also foster future research.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the needle puncture safety and clinical efficacy of manual reduction combined with external fixation of ankle frame in the treatment of trimalleolar fracture under the guidance of Chinese Osteosynthesis (CO) theory. METHODS: The clinical data of 118 patients with trimalleolar fractures admitted from December 2010 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Fifty-three patients were treated with manual reduction combined with external fixation of ankle frame(observation group). Sixty-five patients were treated with open reduction and internal fixation with plate and screws(control group). The operation time, hospitalization days, non-weight-bearing time of the affected limb, clinical healing time of fracture, incidence of complications, visual analogue scale (VAS) before and 1 month after operation, and American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society(AOFAS) score of ankle joint before and 1 year after operation were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: Patients in both groups were followed up for more than 1 year. All patients were followed up, and the duration ranged from 14 to 70 months, with an average of(35.28±14.66) months. There were statistically significant in operation time, hospitalization days, non-load-bearing time of affected limbs, clinical healing time of fractures and VAS score one month after operation between the two groups. One month after operation, the VAS score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group(t=3.343, P=0.001). The operation time of the observation group was significantly shorter than that of the control group(t=9.091, P=0.000). The hospitalization days in the observation group were significantly less than those in the control group(t=5.034, P=0.000). The non-load-bearing time of the affected limb in the observation group was significantly shorter than that in the control group(t=11.960, P=0.000). The clinical healing time of fracture in the observation group was significantly shorter than that in the control group(t=4.007, P=0.000). There was no significant difference in AOFAS score between the two groups one year after operation(t=0.417, P=0.678). In the observation group, there were 2 cases of pinhole infection and 3 cases of loss of reduction less than 2 mm. There were 3 cases of surgical incision infection in the control group. There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications between the two groups(χ2=0.446, P=0.504). CONCLUSION: Manual reduction combined with external fixation is safe and effective in the treatment of trimalleolar fracture under the guidance of CO theory, and the function of ankle joint recovers well after operation. This therapy has good clinical value.

Objective To explore the short-term efficacy of digitally-assisted traditional Chinese medicine manual reduction combined with 3D printed splint in the treatment of AO type-A distal radius fractures, and explore the quantification of traditional Chinese medicine manual reduction and personalized improvement of splinting. Methods The clinical data of 50 patients with AO type-A distal radius fractures, who received treatment at the outpatient department of Cangzhou Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital in Hebei Province, were retrospective analyzed. The patient cohort included 22 females and 28 males, with ages ranging from 25 to 75 years old. Among them, 27 cases presented with distal radius fractures on the left side, and 24 cases on the right side. The patients were categorized into two groups: treatment group (n=25) and control group(n=25). There were 13 males and 12 females in the treatment group, with an average age of (56.2±5.5) years old. Treatment approach for this group involved several steps. Initially, Mimics Research software was used to conduct comprehensive analysis of complete CT data from the affected limb, resulting in the creation of a three-dimensional model. Subsequently, 3D models of the bones and skin contours, stored as STL format files, were imported into the Materialise Magics 23.0 software for model processing and repair. This facilitated the simulation of reduction and recording of displacement data, effectively generating a "digital prescription" to guide and quantify traditional Chinese medicine manipulation procedures. Finally, a personalized 3D printed splint was applied for fixation treatment. There were 15 males and 10 females in the control group, with an average age of (53.32±5.28) years old. These patients were treated with manualreduction combined with traditional splinting. The clinical efficacy of the two groups was assessed in terms of fracture reduction quality, fracture healing time, Gartland-Werley wrist joint score and X-ray parameters (palminclination angle, ulnar deviation angle, radius height) at 6 weeks post-operatively. Results The treatment group exhibited a shorter duration for achieving clinical healing compared to the control group (P<0.05). Six weeks post-operatively, the treatment group demonstrated higher wrist joint function scores, and a higher proportion of excellent and good outcomes than the control group(P<0.05). The treatment group was superior to the control group in terms of imaging parameters 6 weeks post-operatively (P<0.05). Conclusion By quantifying skin contours through digital simulation prescription reduction, a personalized 3D printed splint is developed to effectively stabilize fractures, enhancing localized fixation while ensuring greater adherence, stability, and comfort. This innovative approach offers personalized treatment for AO type-A distal radius fractures and presents a novel, precise treatment strategy for consideration.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of the Milch technique on quality of life (QoL) in patients with anterior dislocation of the shoulder joint. Methods: A total of 126 patients undergoing manual reduction for anterior dislocation of the shoulder in our hospital from January 2021 to January 2022 were prospectively enrolled in this study. The randomized number table method was used to divide patients into the study group (63 patients) and the control group (63 patients). The study group was treated with a modified Milch technique while the control group was treated with the Hippocratic method. Success rate and complications were compared to evaluate the effectiveness of manual reduction. Clinical assessment of shoulder function included the Constant-Murley Score and visual analog scale (VAS) before, during and after manual reduction. Results: The success rate of primary and secondary reduction in the study group was significantly higher than in the control group (87.30% vs 61.90, respectively; P = .001; 11.11% vs 25.40%, respectively; P = .038). The failure rate in the study group was significantly lower than in the control group (1.59% vs 12.70%, respectively; P = .015). The time required for reduction in the study and control groups was 58.87 ± 7.92 seconds and 93.09 ± 8.01 seconds, respectively; a significant difference (t = -24.113; P < .001). There was no statistically significant difference in VAS scores before and during reduction in the 2 groups. After reduction, VAS scores in the study group were significantly lower than in the control group (1.02 ± 0.01 vs 1.14 ± 0.26, respectively; P < .001). There were no significant differences in pain level, activities of daily living, joint range of motion or muscle strength between the 2 groups before and after reduction (P > .05). After reduction, health status, emotional function, mental health, physiological function, physiological function, physical pain, vitality and social function scores in the study group were significantly higher than in the control group (P < .05). There were 4 avulsion fractures and 2 humeral fractures in the control group; no complications occurred in the study group, with a significant difference (χ2 = 6.289; P = .012). Conclusion: The Milch technique can improve the QoL in patients with anterior dislocation of the shoulder, and the success rate of the reduction is high.

INTRODUCTION: Acute anterior shoulder dislocation (AASD) is the most common joint dislocation. Here, we introduced a new reduction technique for AASD, named "Han's technique" (or "Touch overhead technique"). METHODS: Patients diagnosed with AASD were treated with "Han's technique" in the orthopaedic department of our hospital from October 2018 to November 2020. An orthopedic surgeon performed the reduction maneuver without any anesthesia or sedation throughout the reduction process. The fundamental information and related data were recorded, including patients' age, sex, dislocation side, previous dislocations history, reduction time, number of attempts at reduction, success rate of the reduction, intensity of pain during reduction using the 10-point visual analogue scale score (VAS), any complications, with or without the fracture and neurovascular examination results. RESULTS: Forty-one patients with AASD were involved in our study. Thirty-nine cases (95%) were primary dislocation. Eleven patients (27%) were complicated with large tubercle fracture and one patient (2%) complicated with inferior glenoid fractures. All patients were successfully reduced by Han's technique with mean reduction time was 138 s. The pain score during the reduction operation is only1.83 ± 0.83 points. No neurovascular injury or iatrogenic fracture was found after reduction in all patients. CONCLUSIONS: Han's technique (or Touch overhead technique) is a simple, safe, effective, mild and easy to master which can be operated by one surgeon without anesthesia or sedation for AASD.

BACKGROUND: Various maneuvers have been introduced to address anterior shoulder dislocations. Chair method allows the patient to sit comfortably and feel less pain during the reduction procedure. However, the rarity of comparative studies led to a lack of evidence to popularize. The present study aimed to introduce a modified chair (MOC) reduction method for anterior shoulder dislocation and explore its effectiveness compared with the traditional Hippocratic approach. METHODS: This is a single-center retrospective study of 257 patients with anterior shoulder dislocation from September 2020 and July 2021. Patients were divided into two groups according to the reduction method they received (either the Hippocratic method or the MOC method). Success rate, reduction time, visual analog scale (VAS) pain score, satisfaction level, and a new indicator, pain index (reduction time (s)* VAS/ 10), were compared. RESULTS: One hundred sixteen patients (43 females, 73 males) underwent the Hippocratic method, and 141 (65 females, 76 males) MOC method. A significantly higher success rate was seen in the MOC group (96.5%(136/141) vs. 84.5%(98/116) in the Hippocratic group; OR 5, 95%CI 1.79 ~ 13.91; p = 0.002). Pain index of the patients in the MOC group was much lower than that in the Hippocratic group (3.20 (2.10, 4.53) vs. 36.70 (22.40, 47.25), p < 0.001). The reduction time, VAS pain score, and satisfaction level also favored the MOC method. CONCLUSIONS: The MOC method is an easy and efficient reduction method with minimum assistance for anterior shoulder dislocations. Physicians can skillfully perform this procedure with the help of their body weight. The MOC method could be attempted for shoulder dislocations in the emergency department.

Currently, the Ponseti method has become the most popular technique for the management of congenital clubfoot. Besides this treatment, the functional method or the 'French method' (FFM) represents another treatment option. Throughout our study, we will describe this method, based on the 'Saint Vincent de Paul' protocol with some modifications that we bring progressively. Carried out over the last 20 years at our institution. In total 145 children (210 clubfeet) were treated using FFM. Our technique is based on the 'Saint Vincent de Paul' protocol from Paris. This method consists of daily manipulations of the feet by specialised physiotherapists associated with thermoformable orthotics devices. An evaluation of the patient at 5 year of age is performed. Gait analysis was introduced in 2011 as a complementary assessment tool. Less than 15% of the feet underwent a surgical procedure at walking age. Compliance to treatment was significantly higher than with the Ponseti method. At the last follow-up, 80% of the children had good to excellent results without major residual deformity. Totally 7% of the children required a later intervention either for recurrence or for major residual deformity. FFM is an alternative approach in the management of clubfoot that has proven to be successful due to the precision and modularity of its splinting system. Good compliance and low recurrence rate are other elements to consider. However, it requires a well-trained physical therapist. The main disadvantages of this method are the high cost compared to the Ponseti method and the difficulty of applying this method in developing countries.

ABSTRACT: Currently, there is limited evidence to guide treatment and no standard management guidelines exist for treating frozen shoulder (FS). A general management approach consists of initial evaluation, range of motion (ROM) exercises, intra-articular injection of glucocorticoid, home exercise program (HEP), and/or physical therapies. However, the general approach lacks detail and has limited evidence of its effectiveness. This retrospective cohort study evaluates the short-term recovery of near-full to full-ROM technique followed by an instructed HEP for strengthening and coordinating shoulder girdle muscle group for FS management. This study details our experiences following a general approach to managing FS and aims to fill this knowledge void, providing additional context of the efficacy of FS management in the real-world. Seven-two adult patients with FS (46 females, 26 males; mean age of 66; standard deviation of 15.1; range 23-87) from an orthopedic and physical medicine and sport medicine office between 2014 and 2018 were included in this study. Following general management of FS, patients received a glucocorticoid-lidocaine mixture injection administered to the respective shoulder at the glenohumeral joint space and/or subacromial separately. Immediately, patients underwent active manipulation of the affected shoulder in 3 directions: forward flexion, abduction, and extension in the sagittal plane. Lastly, patients were instructed to perform movements similar to the active manipulation protocol as a HEP. The abduction and forward flexion ROM showed significant improvements with the described protocol. Following treatment, there was a 90.20° and 77.33° increase in average shoulder abduction and forward flexion ROM, respectively (Pâ<â.05). The immediate goal of this protocol was to gain maximum ROM in different directions of shoulder mobility. Following the general management of FS, active manipulation under local anesthetic was a highly effective treatment modality for adhesive capsulitis that was time-saving and cost-effective.

OBJECTIVE: This explorative study investigates the moderating effect of sex and baseline pain characteristics on the effectiveness of preoperative pain neuroscience education (PNE) plus knee joint mobilization versus biomedical education plus knee joint mobilization in patients who have knee osteoarthritis and are scheduled to undergo total knee arthroplasty (TKA). METHODS: After baseline assessment of self-reported questionnaires (pain intensity, disability, symptoms of central sensitization and pain cognitions) and quantitative sensory testing, 44 participants with knee osteoarthritis were randomized into the PNE plus knee joint mobilization or biomedical education plus knee joint mobilization group. The questionnaires were retaken directly after and 1 month after 4 sessions of treatment and at 3 months after surgery. Based on baseline quantitative sensory testing results, the sample was subdivided into a high (showing high experimental pain levels and low pressure pain thresholds) and low pain cluster using principal components analysis and cluster analysis. Therapy effects over time were evaluated using 3-way analysis of variance, with time as the within factor and treatment, sex, and baseline pain cluster as between factors. RESULTS: Women benefited significantly more from the PNE intervention compared with the control intervention in terms of self-reported symptoms of central sensitization. For both pain clusters, differences in therapeutic effects concerning pain intensity and pain cognitions were found, with higher superiority of the PNE intervention in the high-pain cluster subgroup compared with the low-pain cluster. CONCLUSION: Based on these explorative analyses, it can be concluded that sex and preoperative pain measures may influence the effectiveness of preoperative PNE for some specific outcome measures in people scheduled to undergo TKA. IMPACT: Although further research on this topic is needed, the potential influence of sex and preoperative pain measures on the effectiveness of preoperative PNE should be considered when implementing this intervention in people undergoing TKA.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to determine the effects of the number of total siblings, younger siblings, and complex clubfoot deformity on the brace compliance and recurrence in the management of children with clubfoot deformity using the Ponseti technique. METHODS: The data from 91 children, including 22 girls and 69 boys (total 130 idiopathic clubfeet), seen from 2016 to 2019 were prospectively collected and retrospectively reviewed. The deformity was unilateral in 52 (57.1%) children (32 right, 20 left) and bilateral in 39 (42.9%). The mean age at presentation was 2 (range, 1-30) weeks, and the mean follow-up was 21.5 (range, 12-36) months. All the clubfeet were treated according to the Ponseti method. After removing the cast, a foot abduction brace (Dennis Brown splint) was worn. A complex clubfoot deformity was identified in 12% (n=11) children. At the follow-up, the Pirani score, recurrence status, and brace compliance were recorded. Recurrent deformity was defined as any deformity recurrence requiring manipulation, recasting, or surgical treatment. Brace compliance was assessed per the parents' report. RESULTS: The median number of children in a family was 3 (range, 1-12). A total of 53 (58.2%) parents had up to 3 children, and 38 (41.8%) parents had more than 3 children. Of the patients, 22 (24.2%) had younger siblings and 25 (26.4%) had a family history of clubfoot. A total of 58 feet (44.6%) in 40 children (43.9%) developed recurrence. Brace non-compliance was the main risk factor for recurrence, increasing the recurrence rate 32-fold compared with that of compliant parents (odds ratio [OR], 32.67, 95% confidence interval [CI], 10.02-106.49; p=0.001). The rate of non-compliance with brace use was 51.6% (n=47). Brace non-compliance was significantly associated with having a younger sibling (OR, 3.9; 95% CI, 1.36-11.2; p=0.011) and having a complex deformity (OR, 11.62; 95% CI, 1.42-95.1; p=0.022) but was not associated with the total number of children (OR, 1.61; 95% CI, 0.7-3.73; p=0.265). CONCLUSION: Our study shows that having new siblings in the first years of the Ponseti treatment may increase the brace non-compliance by minimizing the attention paid to the children with clubfeet by their parents. Nonetheless, complex clubfoot deformity may promote brace compliance by increasing the parents' interest during the treatment process. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, Therapeutic Study.

ABSTRACT: Manipulation under anesthesia (MUA) combined with intra-articular steroid injection (ISI) is preferred in management of the refractory frozen shoulder (FS). This study aimed to evaluate the effect of MUA with ISI or not on pain severity and function of the shoulder.Data on 141 patients receiving MUA with primary FS refractory to conservative treatments for at least 1 month were retrospectively obtained from medical records. We performed propensity score matching analysis between patients receiving MUA only and those receiving MUA plus ISI, and then conducted logistic regression analysis to identify the risk factors for the need to other treatments during 6-month follow-up.More improvement in terms of the SPADI pain scores and passive ROM at 2 weeks after first intervention remained in patients receiving MUA plus ISI after matching. The need to other treatments during 6-month follow-up occurred in 10.6% patients (nâ=â141). Logistic regression analysis revealed that a repeat MUA 1 week after first intervention was a protective factor (OR 0.042; 95% CI 0.011-0.162; Pâ=â.000) and duration of disease was the only one risk factor (OR 1.080; 95% CI 1.020-1.144; Pâ=â.008) for the need to other treatments during follow-up.ISI immediately following MUA provided additional benefits in rapid relief of pain and disability for patients with refractory FS. Pain and disability of the shoulder may be rapidly alleviated by an earlier MUA from the onset of the symptoms and a repeat MUA 1 week after first intervention.

BACKGROUND: This systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of traditional Chinese manipulation in treating ankle sprains. METHODS: Seven databases were searched from inception to July 2020. A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials comparing traditional Chinese manipulation and other conservative therapy for ankle sprains was conducted. The Cochrane Handbook tool was applied to access the quality and risk of bias of each study. The meta-analysis was performed with Review Manager 5.3 software (Nordic Cochrane Centre, Copenhagen, Denmark). RESULTS: In total, 14 articles and 1112 patients were included. The total effective rate of ankle manipulation was much higher than that of other conservative therapy (risk ratio [RR], 1.23; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.17-1.30; Pâ<â.00001). The Baird-Jackson score (RR, 10.14; 95% CI, 5.57-14.70; Pâ<â.0001), visual analog scale score (RR, -1.78; 95% CI, -3.14 to -0.43; Pâ=â.01), and American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society ankle-hindfoot score (RR, 15.70; 95% CI, 12.72-18.68; Pâ<â.00001) were significantly lower in the manipulation group than in the control group. Further subgroup analysis showed that the visual analog scale score of the rotating-traction-poking manipulation was significantly lower than that of the control group (RRRTPM, -2.56; 95% CI, -4.54 to -0.58; Pâ=â.01), while there were no significant differences between the effects of other manipulations and the control group (RRother manipulation, -0.62; 95% CI, -1.52 to 0.28; Pâ=â.18). CONCLUSION: Traditional Chinese manipulation might have a better effect on ankle sprains than other types of conservative treatment. The rotating-traction-poking manipulation might achieve better effects than other manipulation techniques in terms of alleviating pain intensity. However, considering the overall high or unclear risk of bias, the evidence identified does not allow for a robust conclusion concerning the efficacy and safety of traditional Chinese manipulation for treating ankle sprains. High-quality randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm these findings.

OBJECTIVES: This study aims to present the results of complex clubfoot patients treated with modified Ponseti method and put forth the warning clinical signs of complex deformities. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 11 patients (10 males, 1 female; mean age 60.1±49.7; range, 2 to 180 days) with 16 complex clubfeet treated with modified Ponseti method were included in this study conducted between January 2016 and June 2019. All the data of the patients were collected prospectively and reviewed retrospectively. Demographic features, clubfoot severity, number of casts, position of each foot before cast removal, ankle dorsiflexion (DF), complications, and additional procedures were noted at all clinical visits. RESULTS: Eleven (11.2%) of 98 patients had complex clubfoot deformity. Six (7.7%) of 78 newly diagnosed patients and five (25%) of 20 referred patients had complex clubfeet. We treated 16 complex clubfeet of 11 patients. The mean follow-up period was 13.3 (range, 10 to 16) months. All deformities were initially corrected using a mean of seven (range, 5 to 8) casts and Achilles tenotomy. Relapses occurred in three (18.75%) patients, but all recovered after recasting. The creases above the heels disappeared in all of the patients, whereas plantar creases persisted on two (12.5%) feet. Pirani scores and DF improved statistically significantly after treatment, and DF improved significantly between tenotomy and the final visit. CONCLUSION: The modified Ponseti method is an effective treatment for complex clubfoot. Classical clinical appearance, treatment-resistant deformities and referred patients should be warning signs for complex clubfoot.
