Painful, end-stage elbow arthritis in young, active patients remains a challenging and unsolved problem. Lifetime weight-bearing restrictions make total arthroplasty (TEA) an unrealistic unsustainable option for most of these patients, the alternatives treating failed TEA are limited mostly unsatisfactory. Elbow interposition can provide good pain relief reasonable restoration motion while avoiding restrictions. However, resurfacing materials such as fascia, Achilles tendon, skin not durable...
The concise synthesis of a potent thrombin inhibitor was accomplished by mild lactone aminolysis between an orthogonally protected bis-benzylic amine and diastereomerically pure lactone. synthesized the condensation l-proline methyl ester with enantiomerically hydroxy acid, which in turn highly stereoselective (>500:1 er) productive (100,000:1, S/C) enzymatic reduction alpha-ketoester. In addition, second route to diastereoselective ketoamide reduction.
The distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) is a complex structure that contributes to full, painless forearm rotation and weight bearing. Stability requires adequate bony architecture robust soft-tissue support. Arthritis of the DRUJ between sigmoid notch radius ulnar head can be caused by traumatic, inflammatory, congenital, degenerative processes. Initial management symptomatic arthritis nonsurgical. Surgery reserved for patients with refractory pain. Although outcomes typically are positive...
Osteochondral fractures of the talar dome (OCFT) are frequently associated with ankle fractures. Controversy exists regarding treatment acute Grade III and IV OCFT. autograft transplantation (OAT) is a possible operative solution.We performed OAT in 16 patients or There were ten males six females average age 33.9 (range, 18 to 49) years. The period followup was 36.3 21 48) months. OCFT identified, clinically determined be using radiographs intraoperative assessment. Seven III, nine consisted...
Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of the clavicle is a common procedure that has been shown to have improved outcomes over nonoperative treatment. Several incisions can be used approach fractures, decision which variable among surgeons.To compare patient satisfaction subjective between patients with longitudinal incision versus those necklace for treatment diaphyseal fractures.Cohort study; Level evidence, 3.Thirty-six fracture (Orthopaedic Trauma Association type 15-B) were...
Despite surgical fixation, the scaphoid nonunion rate remains at 3% to 5%. Recent biomechanical studies have demonstrated increased stability with 2-screw constructs. The objective of our study is determine preliminary union and anatomic feasibility fixation for fractures.This a retrospective case series 25 patients (average age 32 years) fractures treated 2 parallel headless compression screws (HCS). Postoperative evaluation included Mayo Wrist Score (MWS), range motion, time union, return...
Intra-articular distal humerus fractures with an associated coronal shear capitellar fragment present a challenge for stable internal fixation. Adequate visualization and fixation of the are difficult to achieve conventional exposures, including olecranon osteotomy. The often translates anterior proximally is challenging visualize intact soft tissue attachments from posterior approach. We describe surgical exposure that releases lateral ulnar collateral ligament in addition osteotomy allow...
