friends
distraction has since long being given as a therapy to reduce loading, and hence pain in cases of osteoarthritis,say of the knee.
but what happens when we do it? i have heard of some study about intra-osseous pressure.
the study or it's whereabouts are not known to me...
can anyone tell me what this stuff is because cases of OA are on the increase with the everwidening geriatric practice..
a study also talks about loose bandaging..
how's that??
