Retracted PublicationPain behavior of children with bilateral idiopathic clubfoot undergoing Ponseti casting and the effect of non-pharmaceutical pain-relieving agents.
This study prospectively investigated the pain response and physiological parameters [heart rate (HR) and oxygen saturation (SpO2)] during sequential casting in bilateral clubfoot. Additionally, it explored the role of non-nutritive sucking and human care contact on the observed responses during casting. ⋯ The clubfoot child exhibited moderate pain response during casting of both feet. A tachycardia was noted prior to initiation of second cast which further exaggerated with subsequent cast. Pacifier (non-nutritive sucking) intervention produced better control of pain response than human care contact during casting for both feet.

Retracted PublicationPrognostic factors for the outcome of arthroscopic capsular repair of peripheral triangular fibrocartilage complex tears.
Little information is available about prognostic factors of arthroscopic capsular repair for peripheral triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) lesions. The purpose of this study was to analyze factors that affect the treatment outcomes of arthroscopic capsular repair for peripheral TFCC tears. ⋯ Female gender, a longer duration of symptom, and a negative DRUJ stress test are associated with a higher likelihood of treatment failure after arthroscopic outside-in capsular repair of peripheral TFCC tears.
