DOI: 10.2340/jphs.v59.41372
Abstract: Volar locking plates (VLPs) are increasingly used for distal radius fractures (DRFs), yet their efficacy compared to cast immobilization remains debated. This meta-analysis aimed to compare VLPs versus cast immobilization for DRFs across various follow-up… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2025.1594505
Abstract: Background Recent years have seen continuous debate over the preferred method of immobilization for ankle fractures, especially between removable braces and cast immobilization. To address this, we conducted a meta-analysis of prospective randomized controlled trials… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2022.988178
Abstract: Cast immobilization causes sensory hypersensitivity, which is also a symptom of neuropathic pain and chronic pain. However, the mechanisms underlying immobilization-induced hypersensitivity remain unclear. The present study investigated the role of dopamine neurotransmission in the… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fsurg.2024.1404746
Abstract: Introduction Ankle fractures require temporary fixation to allow swelling to subside prior to surgery; this is typically achieved using calcaneal distraction or cast immobilization. We compared the results of these methods in the treatment of… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/medicina61050852
Abstract: Background and Objectives: Distal radius fractures are among the most common pediatric injuries, accounting for approximately 25% of all fractures in children. Displaced fractures are prone to re-displacement, necessitating additional interventions. K-wire fixation is effective… read more here.
