The treatment of ultrasound unstable hips with the Tübingen splint is currently under discussion. However, there is a lack of long-term follow-up data. This study presents to the best of our knowledge...
From 2002 to 2022 the treatment of ultrasound unstable hips type D, III and IV (age ≤ 6 weeks, no severe limitation of abduction) with the Tübingen splint worn as a plaster is evaluated. Based on data...
193 of 201 (95.5%) unstable hips could be successfully treated showing normal findings with an alpha angle > 65°. The few patients showing treatment failures were successfully treated applying a Fettw...
The Tübingen splint as alternative to replace a plaster has proven a successful therapeutic option for ultrasound unstable hips type D, III and IV with favorable and over time improving radiological p...
This study aimed primarily to analyze the three-dimensional (3D) changes in the pharyngeal airway (PA), and secondarily, the hyoid bone (HB) and the craniocervical (CC) following stabilization splint ...
Thirty-five adult patients with TMD and MD, who were treated using SS with a mean age of 25.14 ± 6.11 years, were enrolled in this retrospective clinical study. Pre- and post-therapeutic cone-beam com...
SS therapy was administered for a period of 9.49 ± 4.02 months. The oropharyngeal airway space showed a significant decrease in sagittal width. The hypopharyngeal surface area, volume, MCA, and sagitt...
SS therapy in TMD patients with MD mainly results in narrowing of the hypopharyngeal region, no change in HB position and improvement in head posture. These results undoubtedly assist in diagnosis and...
Stabilisation splint therapy (SST) and low-level laser therapy (LLLT) are effective-invasive treatment for temporo-mandibular disorder (TMD) patients. However, the specific efficacy of each therapy in...
The aim of this study was to assess and compare the efficacy of SST and LLLT alone or in combination in patients with CCL from TMJ DDwoR....
This parallel randomised clinical trial included 42 patients who were diagnosed with CCL from TMJ DDwoR. Patients were allocated equally and randomly into three treatment groups: group I received comb...
Regarding MMO and VAS, a statistically significant improvement was found between group I versus group II and versus group III at all evaluation times. Regarding muscle and joint palpation scores, a st...
All treatment modalities can be effective in management of CCL from a TMJ DDwoR cases, but the combined SST and LLLT group seems to provide the best and quickest improvement....

The objective of this study is to compare the morbidity of different types of intranasal splints (Doyle splints and Reuter bivalve splints) with no intranasal splints in primary septal surgeries and c...
Randomised clinical trial SETTING: Single-Center trial at a tertiary care facility PARTICIPANTS: In this randomised clinical trial, 123 consecutive patients underwent primary septoplasty with bilatera...
Following surgery, the patients were seen at three consecutive visits. During each visit, the Visual Analogue Scale score for headache, nasal obstruction, overall pain and bleeding and an endoscopic s...
Patients were randomised into three groups, 42 received Doyle splints, 41 Reuter bivalve splints and 40 had no splints inserted. When comparing the three groups, the first two post-op visits were sche...
Increased post-operative pain, headaches and nasal obstruction scores were encountered in patients who had splints after surgery. However, endoscopic scores were statistically similar across the three...
The present study aimed to identify, through a critical review of the literature, the success factors associated with the splinting of fixed prostheses on adjacent implants of the posterior sectors in...
A MEDLINE strategy was implemented based on a research question to systematically search and extract information from databases (PubMed and Scopus) using MeSH terms/keywords identified for each domain...
A total of 32 studies were selected for data extraction and analysis according to study design (three systematic reviews, 14 clinical studies, and 15 in vitro studies). Overall, the studies found no s...
The need for splinted or non-splinted adjacent implant-supported prostheses remains controversial. The reviewed evidence indicates that factors such as implant size and its relationship with coronal h...
Medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS), usually referred to as "shin splints," is a common overuse injury of the lower extremities affecting a large percentage of athletes. A variety of factors can lead...
Choosing between a splinted or non-splinted implant prosthesis should be based on solid scientific evidence that consider the condition and needs of each case. This review attempts to elaborate on the...
Military transport can induce whole-body vibrations, and combat almost always involves high impact between lower extremities and the ground. Therefore, robust splinting technology is necessary for low...
Ten cadaveric specimens were subjected to complete tibia/fibula osteotomy. Specimens were fitted with custom accelerometer and gyroscope sensors superior and inferior to the fracture line. Each specim...
During splinting, overall summation of change and difference of change between sensors for accelerations and rotations were greater for SAM splints than FastCast across all axes (P ≤ 0.03). During tra...
FastCast maintains stabilization of fractured lower extremities during transport and impacts to a significantly greater extent than SAM splints. Therefore, FastCast can potentially reduce the risk of ...
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a compression neuropathy of the median nerve causing pain and numbness and tingling typically in the thumb, index and middle finger. It sometimes results in muscle wast...
To assess the effects (benefits and harms) of splinting for people with CTS....
On 12 December 2021, we searched the Cochrane Neuromuscular Specialised Register, CENTRAL, MEDLINE, Embase, AMED, CINAHL, ClinicalTrials.gov, and WHO ICTRP with no limitations. We checked the referenc...
Randomised trials were included if the effect of splinting could be isolated from other treatment modalities. The comparisons included splinting versus no active treatment (or placebo), splinting vers...
Review authors independently selected trials for inclusion, extracted data, assessed study risk of bias and the certainty in the body of evidence for primary outcomes using the GRADE approach, accordi...
We included 29 trials randomising 1937 adults with CTS. The trials ranged from 21 to 234 participants, with mean ages between 42 and 60 years. The mean duration of CTS symptoms was seven weeks to five...
There is insufficient evidence to conclude whether splinting benefits people with CTS. Limited evidence does not exclude small improvements in CTS symptoms and hand function, but they may not be clini...
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of splinting material type and material location on the force resistance of splinted periodontally compromised teeth with hypermobility. Extracted teeth includi...
