Abstract Background Diabetes is associated with a high incidence of diabetic foot and peripheral artery disease and with markedly increased lifetime amputation risk. Here we investigated predictors of reamputation risk a...

Abstract Background Commercially-available microprocessor-controlled prosthetic knees are unable to fully replicate the biomechanical function of the missing biological limb. While powered prostheses have the capacity to...

Aims: Acute hand and wrist infections can be devastating, with a substantial burden in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) compared with high-income countries. Access to treatment, particularly surgery, can be limit...

The determination of the optimal prosthesis alignment for maximum patient comfort is an important rehabilitation goal, especially for lower limb amputees, where the assessment of biomechanics is complex. Despite this, qu...

ABSTRACT Background and Aim Non‐adherence to diabetes medication treatment is a recognized public health problem that can lead to unfavorable clinical, humanistic, and economic outcomes. This study aimed to analyze adh...

Acute renal failure (ARF) is one of the most important predictors of mortality in Crush syndrome. The aim of our study was to investigate the early predictors of in-hospital mortality in patients presenting with myoglobu...

IntroductionBone-seeking radiopharmaceuticals are the treatment of choice with clinical benefits for patients with extensive skeletal metastases, but they can also cause serious radiation-related adverse events (rrAEs). ...

ABSTRACT The use of endo-exo prosthesis is an alternative to improve the quality of life of amputees, allowing correct distribution of body weight, reducing skin problems and pain related to the implant, and reducing lam...

Introduction Disasters often cause large numbers of injuries, including fractures, lacerations and amputations, which overwhelm emergency services. Orthotic and prosthetic solutions can provide timely primary care, reduc...

Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) represents the most severe form of peripheral artery disease, with high risks of infection, tissue loss, amputation, and mortality. Continuous or high-frequency monitoring could i...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) is a critical intervention in the management of severe cardiac and respiratory failure. Among the commonly used cannulation techniques, percutaneous cannula...

Introduction Early open fracture management aims to minimise the risk of complications. For the most severe open fracture wounds, multiple irrigation and debridement surgeries are required to overcome severe wound contam...
