Caring in the XXI century
The progression of macro sociodemographic trends has pushed Italy's existing "care equilibrium" to its limits; innovative solutions are needed. Adopting a multidimensional and multidisciplinary approach, focusing on the goal of supporting caregivers' well-being and training, and overcoming policy fragmentation are key to creating an LTC system that is socially and economically sustainable
Longer Brace Duration Is Associated with Lower Stress Levels and Better Quality of Life in Adolescents with Idiopathic Scoliosis
Physical and psychological health concerns have been raised due to either spine deformity or orthotic treatment in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis. To determine whether orthotic bracing duration affects psychological stress and health-related quality of life, a sample of 46 patients (8M, 38F, aged 11-17 years, regularly treated with bracing) with moderate or moderate to severe idiopathic scoliosis were separated into two groups based on whe…
Is Obesity a Risk Factor for Loss of Reduction in Children with Distal Radius Fractures Treated Conservatively
Background: Obesity in children is a clinical and social burden. The distal radius (DR) is the most common site of fractures in childhood and conservative treatment is widely used. Loss of reduction (LOR) is the major casting complication. The aim of this study is to evaluate obesity as a risk factor for LOR in children with displaced DR fractures (DRF) treated conservatively. Methods: 189 children under 16 years of age were treated conservativel…
Interobserver Reliability of Pirani and Dimeglio Scores in the Clinical Evaluation of Idiopathic Congenital Clubfoot
In conclusion, after careful preparation, at least six months of observation of children with CTEV, PirS and DimS proved to be valid in terms of clinical evaluation. However, more experience with CTEV leads to a better clinical evaluation
Sport Ability during Walking Age in Clubfoot-Affected Children after Ponseti Method
Background: The Ponseti method (PM) of manipulative treatment for congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV) or clubfoot became widely adopted by pediatric orthopedic surgeons at the beginning of the mid-1990s with reports of long-term successful outcomes. Sports are crucial for children’s development and for learning good behavior. This study aimed to evaluate the sports activity levels in children treated with PM and to assess the different outcomes…
