Does [ Radio-radial external fixation in the treatment of distal radius fractures allow for free wrist motion ]?
The technique of extraarticular hybrid fixation is safe and reliable in the treatment of comminuted fractures of the distal radius. It allows for early wrist movement in the immediate postoperative period.
Screening FS in women using an upper endoscope is a feasible approach to colorectal cancer screening. Patients screened with an upper endoscope reported less pain and discomfort compared to standard sigmoidoscope while overall satisfaction did not differ. The trend toward increased polyp detection in patients undergoing FS with an upper endoscope may be related to a more thorough examination due to less patient discomfort and/or an increased depth of insertion of the upper endoscope. Thinner, more flexible endoscopes should be considered when performing screening FS in women.
