Exploration and consideration on establishing a core outcome set of Traditional Chinese Medicine clinical trials in distal radius fracture / 中国骨伤

There are inconsistencies in treatment outcomes, measurement instruments, and criteria for assessing clinical effectiveness in studies related to distal radius fractures (DRF), resulting in potential biases and failing to provide high-quality clinical evidence. To address these challenges, international researchers have reached a consensus on developing the core outcome indicator set for distal radius fractures(COS-DRF). However, it's important to note that the existing COS-DRF framework could not reflect the unique characteristics of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatment. Currently, there are no established standards for treatment outcomes and measurement instruments specific to TCM clinical research, nor has a COS-DRF been established for TCM clinical studies in China. In light of these gaps, our research team aims to construct a core set of treatment outcomes for TCM clinical research on distal radius fractures. This involves compiling a comprehensive list of treatment outcomes and measurement instruments, initially derived from a thorough literature review and expert consensus, which will then undergo further refinement and updates based on real-world clinical experiences, incorporating feedback from 2 to 3 rounds of expert consensus or Delphi questionnaire surveys. Our goal is to establish a COS-DRF or CMS-DRF that aligns with the principles and practices of TCM, and provide high-quality evidence for clinical practice.

Tratamento das fraturas diafisárias da tíbia pelo método de Ilizarov: proposta de padronizaçäo de montagem / Treatment of tibial diaphyseal fractures with the Ilizarov method: proposal for a standard method

O uso do método de Ilizarov é uma opçäo muito atraente no tratamento de fraturas. A possibilidade de uso de um tratamento rápido, incruento, com reduçäo satisfatória, articulaçöes livres, deambulaçäo e alta hospitalar precoces e passível de correçäo no decorrer do tratamento é muito atraente na escolha desta metodologia, porém a dificuldade de acesso da literatura russa é um fator limitante na utilizaçäo da melhor técnica. Os autores padronizam uma metodologia de montagem e aplicaçäo do fixador de Ilizarov no tratamento de fraturas diafisárias da tíbia, explicando detalhadamente a colocaçäo do aparelho
