Upper extremity soft and rigid tissue mass prediction using segment anthropometric measures and DXA.
Regression equations for predicting bone mineral content (BMC), fat mass (FM), lean mass (LM), and wobbling mass (WM) of living people from simple anthropometric measures (segment lengths, circumferences, breadths, and skin folds) have been reported in the literature for the lower extremities, but are lacking for the upper extremities. Multiple linear stepwise regression was used to generate su...
متن کاملSoft Tissue Infection of the Upper Extremity
A 54-year-old man with severe left upper extremity pain presented to the emergency department 1 day after a minor abrasion to the forearm. Physical examination of the extremity revealed warmth, erythema, exquisite tenderness, blue/violet skin discoloration, and tense bullae containing serous fluid. Systemically, the patient was hypotensive, tachycardic, febrile, and had a white blood cell count...
متن کاملSoft tissue coverage of the upper extremity: an overview.
Prehension is a complex function of the hand that gives it mechanical precision combined with a standard sensory pattern. The priority in soft tissue reconstruction for the upper extremity is to restore function. Significant injury to the upper extremity may result after trauma because of various etiologies. The timing and choice of soft tissue coverage for upper extremity defects warrant speci...
متن کاملFree anterolateral thigh flaps for upper extremity soft tissue reconstruction
INTRODUCTION Limb-threatening wounds of the upper extremity pose a challenge to the micro vascular surgeon. The aim of this study is to analyze the outcome of free anterolateral thigh flaps for upper extremity soft tissue reconstruction. METHODS A retrospective review of patients undergoing this procedure from 2005 to 2012 was performed. Case note analysis was performed to determine demograph...
متن کاملUpper extremity nerve injuries: the significance of soft tissue associations
The morbidity and social cost is found to be very high for upper extremity nerve injuries. Despite the fast advances in scientific studies and technology, a complete recovery following peripheral nerve injuries is still not possible, though, comprehensible progression in this field is obtained especially following microsurgery techniques. The aim of this study, is to present the anatomical loca...
