A meta-analysis including all relevant randomized controlled trials was conducted to compare soft bandage, splint and cast as the treatment of torus fracture. PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databa...
The range of motion (ROM) of the cervical spine and postural stability are important for an economical and motorically adequate adaptation of the body to any situation. Therefore, this study aims to a...
38 recreational male athletes volunteered. Cervical spine ROM was recorded using an ultrasound system and the a pressure measuring plate for postural stability (length of center of pressure (CoP) move...
The cervical spine mobility increased significantly by wearing the splint regarding rotation to the left (+3.9%) and right (+2.7%) and lateral flexion to the left (+4.4%) and right (+6.7%). Wearing th...
The major findings seem to demonstrate that wearing a splint that keeps the jaw close to the centric relation may increase the cervical ROM and may improve balance stability in male recreational athle...
The management of postoperative bleeding is mandatory in patients receiving anticoagulants. In this case report, we introduce a fully digital workflow for surgical splint fabrication to prevent postop...
Various treatment approaches for individuals with ankle sprains can reduce treatment costs and enhance recovery. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of spring ankle braces with splints and casts ...
This cross-sectional study involved 60 patients diagnosed with ankle sprains at the orthopedic clinic of Imam Khomeini Hospital in Jiroft in 2022. Following diagnosis confirmation through additional e...
The average age of patients was 32.5 ± 13.4 years. Of the ankle sprain patients, 56.7% were male. Patients reported the highest satisfaction levels with the plaster cast treatment method. A statistica...
Treating ankle sprains with plaster casts leads to higher satisfaction and lower pain levels compared to using spring ankle braces....
To compare the treatment effectiveness of digitized and 3D-printed repositioning splints with that of conventional repositioning splints in the treatment of anterior displacement of the temporomandibu...
This retrospective study included 96 patients with disc displacement of the anterior temporomandibular joint. They were treated with either digitally designed and 3D-printed repositioning splints or t...
During the first month of treatment, both the digitally designed and 3D-printed repositioning splint groups (Group B) and the traditional repositioning splint group (Group A) showed significant increa...
Compared with traditional repositioning splints, digitally designed and 3D-printed repositioning splints are more effective at reducing patient pain and improving mouth opening. 3D-printed repositioni...
This study examines post-surgical outcomes of maxillary position using virtual surgical planning (VSP) with computer designed and manufactured surgical splints, without the use of costly patient speci...
This is a single-centre retrospective analysis of 49 patients who underwent bimaxillary orthognathic surgery by a single surgeon at Epworth Richmond Hospital (Victoria, Australia) over a period spanni...
Use of computer designed and manufactured splints were highly reliable in reproducing the virtual surgical plan, when using palatal plane, upper incisor angulation, and anterior upper facial height....
Use of computer designed and manufactured splints provide a method of leveraging the accuracy of VSP methods, without the additional costs associated with PSI. These findings may assist in appropriate...
The wear depth on the occlusal splint (OS) is reportedly associated with the sleep bruxism (SB) level, as evaluated using portable polysomnography (PSG) recordings. However, the OS is deformed owing t...
We aimed to introduce a newly developed system to quantify the wear facets on the OS using a dental laboratory scanner (D810) and investigate the association between the wear facets, as evaluated with...
Ten healthy individuals who were diagnosed with SB based on portable PSG recordings participated in this study. They were asked to wear the OS for 2 months. The first day after a 2-week adaptation per...
The total duration of SB episodes per hour of sleep and the maximum muscle activity were significantly associated with the wear area, as measured with our system (adjusted R-squared was .78, p < .01)....
Our system allows dimensional analysis of the wear facets on the OS surface in association with the SB level....
A gap in knowledge about current splinting practice exists between the educational program and clinical service. To bridge this gap, we investigated the perspectives and experiences of Thai occupation...
To explore the effect of the overall nursing mode of responsibility system on the psychological state of elderly patients with limb fractures fixed by splints....
This study selected 150 elderly patients who received emergency treatment of a limb fracture fixed by a traditional Chinese medicine splint in our hospital from May 2018 to June 2021 as the research s...
After management, the quality of nursing work in the two groups was significantly improved. Compared with before management, the scores of basic nursing measures, nursing of critical patients, ward en...
Giving elderly patients with limb fracture emergencies treated with splint fixation using traditional Chinese medicine the overall nursing mode management and responsibility system can give the elderl...
At our institution, newborns with Barlow or Ortolani positive hips have been treated for 12 weeks with the von Rosen abduction splint until 2012 when the treatment length was halved. We investigate wh...
99 patients were included in the 6-week program and 138 patients in the 12-week program. We measured the acetabular index (AI) on standard anteroposterior pelvic radiographs taken at 12 months of age....
The mean AI at 12 months in the 6-week group was 25° (CI 24-26) compared with 25° (CI 25-26) in the 12-week group. Non-inferiority was demonstrated for the 6-week program: -0.2° (CI -1.1 to 0.7). In t...
AI was equal at 12 months of age for patients treated for 6 compared with 12 weeks in the von Rosen splint. The hip dislocation which occurred indicates that follow-up around 3 months of age is indica...
