Development of a Murine Model of Pyogenic Flexor Tenosynovitis

Pyogenic flexor tenosynovitis associated with Cellulosimicrobium cellulans.

Cellulosimicrobium cellulans, formerly known as Oerskovia xanthineolytica, is a rare human pathogen, often in association with a foreign body. A case of pyogenic flexor tenosynovitis associated with C. cellulans in an immunocompetent boy is described, underlining the importance of prompt surgical and microbiologic evaluation.

5 Points on Pyogenic Flexor Tenosynovitis of the Hand.

Tissue pressures in pyogenic flexor tenosynovitis of the finger. Compartment syndrome and its management.

We investigated 14 patients with pyogenic flexor tenosynovitis for increased tissue pressures in involved digits. All showed raised pressures, in eight to 30 mmHg or more. These levels are consistent with a compartment syndrome. We describe the results of a modified operative technique which includes irrigation of the sheath and the leaving open of a lateral incision. This also allows early act...

Biomechanical effects of steroid injections used to treat pyogenic flexor tenosynovitis

BACKGROUND A recent study from our laboratory has demonstrated improved range of motion in the toes of broiler chickens afflicted with pyogenic flexor tenosynovitis when treated with local antibiotic and corticosteroid injections, without surgical drainage. However, the use of corticosteroids as an adjunct treatment raised peer concern, as steroids are thought to have deleterious effects on ten...

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
