Objective To compare ultrasound measurement of median nerve cross-sectional area (CSA) at different anatomical landmarks and to assess the value power Doppler signals within for diagnosis carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Methods A prospective study 135 consecutive patients with suspected CTS undergoing two visits 3 months. final was established by clinical electrophysiological findings. CSA sonographically measured five levels forearm wrist; wrist ratios or differences were calculated....
Surgical procedures for calcaneal osteomyelitis are partial calcanectomy (PC), total (TC), and below-knee amputation (BKA). With osteomyelitis, limb-saving surgery was described to have secondary BKA rates of 4% 20%, while after unknown. The aim this study describe compare overall revision each surgical option in our institution's cohort identify risk factors amputation.Fifty patients treated between 2002 2017 were included. Revisions, amputations, possible statistically analyzed.Minor...
To investigate the prognostic value of B-mode and Power Doppler (PD) ultrasound median nerve for short- long-term clinical outcomes patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).Prospective study 135 suspected CTS seen 3 times: at baseline, then short-term (3 months) (15-36 follow-up. At cross-sectional area (CSA) was measured 4 levels on forearm wrist. PD signals were graded semi-quantitatively (0-3). Clinical evaluated each visit Boston Questionnaire (BQ) DASH Questionnaire, as well visual...
The iliacus compression syndrome has a kind of exceptional position--as to genesis, development and therapy--in comparison with the other compartment-compression syndromes limbs. Indeed there exist similar pathophysiological, rules, but special anatomic facts enlarge etiological, differential-diagnostic therapeutic spectrum. Thus, concerning frequency causes, not trauma spontaneous bleeding in coagulation disturbances takes first place, unusual such as rupturing aortic aneurysms, have be...
<h3>Background</h3> The diagnostic value of ultrasound imaging in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) by means measurement the Cross-sectional Area (CSA) median nerve has been established. However, reports on its prognostic regarding long term outcome is rare and contradictory. <h3>Objectives</h3> To investigate baseline B-mode Power Doppler (PD) assessment CTS patients their long-term functional outcome. <h3>Methods</h3> Out 36 with suspected we conducted a prospective study 27 confirmed CTS, who...
