Solitary Large Lunate Osteochondroma Affecting Wrist Motion: Case Report
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Osteochondromas are overgrowing or bone projection covered by cartilage which appears most commonly in the metaphysis of long bones, but also have been reported on the diaphysis, in flat bones and in vertebrae [1], grow during childhood through adolescence, but usually growing ends when the epiphyseal plates close.If the growth happen in adulthood suggests the diagnosis of malignant transformation to a chondrosarcoma, this transformation may occur in less than 1% and a maximum of 25% of cases [2].

Scaphoid and lunate motion during a wrist dart throw motion.
PURPOSE The primary purpose of this study was to measure the in vitro scaphoid and lunate motion during 9 different variations of a wrist dart throw motion. Another goal was to determine the specific dart throw motion that minimized scaphoid and lunate motion. METHODS Scaphoid and lunate motion were recorded in 7 cadaver forearms during various combinations of wrist dart throw motions caused ...

Devastating perilunate injuries are rare, compromising of less than 10% of wrist injuries. We report a 19-year-old worker man who presented with left wrist pain and swelling after falling from a height. Not only the lunate was seen in middle third of forearm, but also proximal part of the scaphoid was in distal forearm. Open reduction and internal fixation was done via volar approach. He came b...

UNLABELLED Small osteophytes are frequently encountered in the foot and ankle, and are not to be confused with true osteochondromas, which are relatively uncommon in this region. They most often affect long bones of the appendicular skeleton but may involve flat bones as well. Osteochondromas are benign osseous neoplasms with a distinct hyaline cartilage cap originating from the physis and ceas...
متن کاملLarge solitary osteochondroma of the thoracic spine: Case report and review of the literature
BACKGROUND Spinal osteochondromas are typically benign tumors, but patients may present with myelopathy and neurologic deficits if there is tumor encroachment within the spinal canal. CASE DESCRIPTION We report here a case of a large solitary osteochondroma originating from the posterior vertebral body of T9 causing spinal cord compression and myelopathy. A 17-year-old man presented with 3 mo...
متن کاملIn vivo scaphoid, lunate, and capitate kinematics in flexion and in extension.
Carpal kinematics have been previously limited to in vitro models with cadaveric specimens. Using a newly developed markerless bone registration algorithm, we noninvasively studied the in vivo kinematics of the capitate, scaphoid, and lunate during wrist extension and flexion in both wrists of 5 men and 5 women. Computed tomography volume images were acquired in neutral and in 2 positions in bo...
