Clinical and radiological outcome after TMT-I-Arthrodesis with medial insertion of angle-stable plates in comparison to a TMT-I arthrodesis with plantar insertion of angle stable plates
Niklas Marc Krause
Background: There are more than 100 surgeries described for hallux valgus with different indications. Severe hallux valgus can be operated with TMT-I (lapidus) arthrodesis. This can be performed with either plantar tri-lock plates or medial tri-lock plates. The study was aimed at determining whether there is a difference in the clinical and radiological outcome when performing lapidus arthrodesis with plantar tri-lock plates compared to medial tri-lock plates on patients with hallux valgus,...

Comparison of subjective sleep quality and daytime sleepiness with whole-night polysomnography findings in sleep apnea patients
Comparison of subjective sleep quality and daytime sleepiness with whole-night polysomnography findings in sleep apnea patients
Nina Rani Pedersen
Objectives: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a disorder characterized by repetitive cessations of breathing during sleep. One of the most prominent symptoms of OSA is excessive daytime sleepiness, associated with micro arousals from sleep which are caused by respiratory events. Another feature of the OSA linked to respiratory related arousals might be impaired sleep architecture resulting in decreased subjective sleep quality. The main aim of this research was to assess and compare the...
