Abstract Background Wrist injuries limit function and can lead to long-term pain disability. Current interventions aim decrease restore healthy function; however, during dynamic motion has not been fully characterized. Four-dimensional computed tomography (4DCT) capture bony providing new insight the wrist joint. Materials Methods Ten young participants were scanned using a 4DCT scanner three-dimensional (3D) models made of radius carpal bones. Using helical axes local coordinate systems for...
Loss of key-pinch sensation after median nerve injury poses significant functional detriment. Nerve transfers are utilized to improve function and size matching donor recipient nerves is important optimize success. This anthropometric study investigates the anatomy superficial branch radial (SBRN) thumb index finger explores sensory transfers, a necessary but not heavily discussed facet for hand. Anatomic dissection SBRN in 15 cadaver hands was performed assess variability diameter branching...
The modern acoustic stethoscope is a useful clinical tool used to detect subtle, pathological changes in cardiac, pulmonary and vascular sounds. Currently, brand-name stethoscopes are expensive despite limited innovations design or fabrication recent decades. Consequently, the high cost of quality, brand name models serves as barrier clinicians practicing various settings, especially low- middle-income countries. In this publication, we describe validation low-cost open-access (Free/Libre)...
Abstract Background Perilunate fracture-dislocations represent a spectrum of devastating wrist injuries. They typically involve high-energy mechanisms, occur in young patients and are relatively uncommon. Our current knowledge on this rare pathology is limited as most studies small retrospective case series follow-up. Purpose The purpose study was to examine the functional, radiographic, patient reported outcomes after perilunate injuries evaluate surgical practice trends over time....
The anterior interosseus nerve (AIN) to ulnar motor transfer has been popularized as an adjunct surgical decompression in patients with severe cubital tunnel syndrome (CuTS) and high injuries. factors influencing its implementation Canada have yet be described.
Background: The clinical significance of scaphoid malunion is debated and its effect on wrist kinematics poorly understood. Alterations to morphology in other pathologies result significant sequelae arthrosis. By understanding the impact carpal kinematics, better insight can be garnered inform models motion treatment this injury. Methods: Seven cadaveric upper extremities underwent active flexion extension a custom simulator with being captured respect distal radius. A three-stage protocol...
Initial assessment and triage of burns are guided by the American Burn Association criteria for referral to a burn center. These sensitive but not specific can potentially lead over-triage "unnecessary" clinic visits. We Level 1 trauma center with subspecialty care, due COVID-19 pandemic, referrals our multidisciplinary outpatient required triaging virtual care appointments. In order improve process, we retrospectively reviewed over 2-year period, 2018 2019, adherence criteria. collected...
Skin cancer is the most common type of neoplasm worldwide. can be classified as non-melanoma skin (NMSC) or melanoma (MSC). NMSCs are more lesions, and typically carry a good prognosis. MSCs rarer, but cause majority cancer-related death morbidity. The biggest causative factor for any ultraviolet radiation exposure (UVR). UVR comes from sun synthetic sources such tanning beds, making it highly avoidable through behavioral change. Despite this, incidence in Canada has risen over past decades...
