A cross-sectional imaging study of paraspinal muscle degeneration using a new index for easy evaluation.To examine the natural progression age-related changes in lumbar muscles and to verify validity our evaluating degenerationSUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA.: Measurement morphology is an effective method reflecting atrophy fat infiltration, but it complicated perform. Therefore, we focused on groove between as simple degeneration.A total 160 subjects aged 10 88 years (10 male female each decade)...

Background: Multiple treatment protocols have been described in literature for the of terrible triad injury (TTI) elbow. We believe that repair medial collateral ligament (MCL) should be performed preference to a small coronoid fracture if elbow is unstable after fixation/replacement radial head and lateral (LCL). The aim this study report outcomes surgical patients with TTI associated whom was not addressed. Methods: This retrospective case series 12 consecutive who underwent surgery acute...

Volar locking plate (VLP) fixation for distal radius fractures (DRF) is a technically demanding procedure, where accurate placement of the screws subchondral articular support essential. The purpose this retrospective, case-control study was to compare computed tomography (CT) navigation system VLP intra-articular DRF with conventional freehand fluoroscopy guided surgery. Twelve consecutive patients DRF, AO type C3.1, underwent using intraoperative CT (navigated group) and 16 had surgery...

Spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma (SSEH) has been reported as a rare condition especially in childhood. Because its symptoms are atypical, it is not easy to diagnose the onset of SSEH. However, with wider use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), several SSEH cases, requiring surgical intervention, have reported. We report on 12-year-old boy who presented 5-day history progressive pain his back and extremities numbness lower legs. An MRI spine demonstrated dorsal extending from C4 T4, axial...

The medial epicondyle nonunion becomes symptomatic valgus instability with elbow pain and joint due to dysfunction of the collateral ligament (MCL), thus requiring surgical treatment. purpose present study is report clinical result fragment excision reconstruction by free tendon graft in treatment nonunion.A retrospective five consecutive patients was performed. All had signs symptoms elbow. mean period 25 years, their injuries progressed asymptomatically until developed adulthood after a...

Intra-articular osteoid osteoma (OO) of the elbow is rare. We report a 26-year-old man who presented with pain, swelling, and limited range motion. Plain computed tomography (CT) showed radiolucent round lesion at distal humerus reactive bone in olecranon fossa. Conservative treatment salicylate failed under suspicion OO. During arthroscopy, red solitary was noted after resection white fossa excised en bloc using bony chisel. Histological examination The patient’s symptoms resolved day...

We describe a patient with incomplete high median nerve palsy after surgical treatment of pediatric supracondylar humeral fracture (SCHF). Preoperative images 11 months the SCHF showed rotational deformity and an isolated entrapped between proximal humerus anteriorly callus posteriorly in bony tunnel distal humerus. Two years neurolysis, he clinical recovery. Four cases similar to our case were reported previously.Common fractures may cause unusual neuropathy. Rotational might be important...

The forearm connects the wrist and elbow joints, its stability depends on two articulations, proximal distal radioulnar interosseous membrane complex. aim of this case report is to present an acute longitudinal dissociation with humeral capitellum fracture.

Flexor tendon rupture in the wrist of patients with rheumatoid arthritis is a rare complication, and there no standard treatment for joint. Here, we present case flexor digitorum profundus left index finger owing to wrist. Plain radiography computed tomography showed carpal collapse, especially lunate, arthrosis between capitate lunate. For stability mobility finger, resection lunate radiotriquetral (RT) arthrodesis using distal ulna as bone graft interphalangeal joint were performed. At 2...

We report a 34-year-old man who presented with ulnar wrist pain, painful click, and locking during forearm rotation following motorcycle accident.Plain radiographs showed loose body in the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ), deformity of sigmoid notch head, minus variant.The DRUJ was assumed to be associated physeal injury ulna childhood.Conservative treatment splint oral analgesics for 3 months failed.During arthroscopy, osteoarthritic changes were found, resected using arthroscopy.Histological...

Synovial osteochondromatosis, a benign tumor consisting of cartilage and bone, generally presents as multiple osteochondral or chondral nodules. Peripheral nerve palsy caused by synovial osteochondromatosis is rare. Three-dimensional reconstruction based on magnetic resonance imaging shows the specific shape location its relation to nerve. We describe case posterior interosseous elbow in 66-year-old Japanese man. A three-dimensional reconstructed image was used determine giant tumor, which...

There are only a few published case reports of irreducible Galeazzi fracture-dislocation, and patients in these studies had undergone reduction by open surgical methods. Arthroscopy for the distal radioulnar joint wrist has recently been used pathology. We aim to describe procedure involved arthroscopic fracture-dislocation clinical outcome review literature. present 26-year-old man, professional athlete, who sustained during bicycle race. The was because fragment ulnar styloid trapped...

Background: Both arterial and venous repair are crucial for optimal results in digital replantation. However, anastomosis of veins becomes challenging very distal fingertip amputation. This study aimed to report the clinical an artery-only replantation without vein a amputation analyze survival rate outcomes based on level. Methods: We performed retrospective review 47 digits 38 patients who had undergone with mean follow-up period 12 months. All complete lunula. Only one central artery arch...

The reconstruction for mild tissue loss at the distal part of a finger is challenging. We report about 29-year-old man presenting with traumatic interphalangeal (DIP) joint index finger, including skin, bone, and nerve. Reconstruction using two types flaps was performed. dorsal skin flap, nourished by second metacarpal artery (SDMA) perforator, elevated. vascularized SDMA, also Using vascular connection between DMA palmar digital (PDA), both were raised to pivot point set proximal phalanx....
