The management of patients with signs and symptoms referable to the rotator cuff depends on presence injury size tear. Treatment options include conservative nonsurgical for an intact or partially torn cuff, arthroscopic decompression coracoacromial space those not responding management, a range surgical techniques repair full-thickness tears. This study was designed determine whether sonographic evaluation classification extent is accurate purposes treatment planning.Preoperative sonography...
Summary: Radial head fracture combined with disruption of the soft-tissue restraints to proximal radial migration is defined as radioulnar dissociation. This injury often involves irreparable fracture. When excised, management has emphasized use silicone implants prevent migration. However, concerns regarding led search for reconstructive alternatives. The purpose this study was compare methods Biomechanical testing measure displacements under physiologic loads performed on fresh-frozen...
Fractures of the adult ankle with disruption tibiofibular syndesmosis require adequate stabilization mortise to ensure satisfactory healing syndesmotic ligaments. Numerous internal fixation techniques for have been used. However, most partial device removal before weight bearing can be initiated. The "flexible repair" uses simple, inexpensive, readily available synthetic materials restore distal stability. Once early fracture has obtained, is begun (average 6 weeks). Biomechanical testing on...
Ulnar nerve decompression with medial epicondylectomy was performed in 66 elbows between 1966 and 1986 for compressive ulnar neuropathy at the elbow. This study is an updated review that adds 36 cases to a previously published report on 30 cases. These were graded preoperatively postoperatively using McGowan's grading system. Eighty-three percent improved one or two grades, 11% subjectively although they showed no objective improvement, 3% noted change, worse. One early case sustained damage...
Kazakhstan's cities are hubs of economic opportunity and prosperity. But despite the Government's ambitious targets, pace urbanization remains slow. This study focuses on two key constraints: (i) very high cost-of-living in cities, (ii) near absence a rental housing market outside capital, Nur-Sultan. The findings show that urban centres Almaty Nur-Sultan 190% 240% more expensive to live than national average. Housing is primary driver disparity: after adjusting for inflation, costs tripled...
Thirty-nine patients diagnosed with 40 acute complete ruptures of the ulnar collateral ligament thumb metacarpophalangeal joint were treated primarily spica splint immobilization. Duration splinting ranged from 8 to 12 weeks. Thirty-four these injuries (85%) followed for 1 5 years (average 2.4 years) healed without significant instability, arthrosis, pain, or stiffness (range motion within 80% contralateral hand). Six (15%) demonstrated persistent instability and pain at weeks surgical...
Rupture of the medial head gastrocnemius muscle has frequently been confused with thrombophlebitis. The distinction between these two entities is important and may be difficult to ascertain. Misdiagnosis result in unnecessary complications. An illustrative case, which venography, MRI, compartment pressure measurements were diagnostic, presented.

Abstract We investigated morphological changes of a released carpal tunnel in response to variations pressure. Pressure within the is known be elevated patients with syndrome and dependent on wrist posture. Previously, increased pressure was shown affect morphology an intact transverse ligament (TCL). However, pressure–morphology relationship after release TCL has not been investigated. Carpal (CTR) performed endoscopically cadaveric hands dynamically from 10 120 mmHg. Simultaneously,...
Carpal tunnel syndrome is associated with sensory and motor impairments resulting from the compressed malfunctioning median nerve. The thumb critical to hand function, yet pathokinematics of carpal are not well understood.The purpose this study was evaluate motion abnormalities syndrome. We hypothesized that ranges translational angular would be reduced as a result syndrome.Eleven patients 11 healthy control subjects voluntarily participated in study. Translational kinematics were obtained...
Background Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) compromises fine sensorimotor function during activities of daily living. Reach-to-pinch for a small object requires not only dexterity the grasping digits, but also coordinated transport hand to target. This study examined effects CTS on kinematic performance reach-to-pinch maneuver. Methods Eleven subjects and 11 able-bodied (ABL) controls donned markers motion capture hand, thumb index finger reach-to-pinch. Subjects were presented with virtual...
