Eighteen patients with marginal depressed or comminuted fractures of the head of the radius, nine of whom had an associated posterior dislocation of the elbow, had a Silastic replacement carried out shortly after injury. After an average follow-up of twenty-six months satisfactory clinical results were observed in seventeen cases; three prostheses broke. The prosthesis has been particularly eff...

Figure 1. Anatomical lesion of nursemaid’s elbow injury. The common names for the condition are descriptive the mechanisms types of damage (e.g., baby-sitter’s, nursemaid’s elbow, supermarket elbow, pulled elbow syndrome, temper tantrum elbow). A history is often enough to reach a diagnosis (child pulling away while being firmly held by the hand, or child being rolled or lifted by one arm) [1,2...

The results of excision of the head of the radius in forty-four elbows affected by rheumatoid arthritis are presented. Relief of pain was obtained in 90 per cent and an increase in the range of flexion and extension was seen in 70 per cent. Involvement of the humero-ulnar joint seen radiologically is no contra-indication to the operation; simple excision of the radial head often gives gratifyin...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Previous studies show that both retinal vascular caliber and carotid disease predict incident stroke in the general population, but the exact relationship between these 2 microvascular and macrovascular structural risk factors is unclear. We studied the relationship between retinal vascular caliber and carotid disease in patients presenting with acute ischemic stroke. M...

Are Narrower or Wider Retinal Venules Associated With Incident Hypertension? To the Editor: Ikram et al1 reported recently that both retinal arteriolar and venular narrowing predict incident hypertension. The relationship between retinal arteriolar narrowing and incident hypertension has been clearly demonstrated in previous studies,2–4 but the reported association between retinal venular narro...

Research into the genetic effects and specific genes associated with retinal vascular caliber, a risk marker of cardiovascular diseases, may provide new insights into the genetic contribution of early microvascular disease. A combined 374 monozygotic and 536 dizygotic twin pairs and 322 siblings from the Twins Eye Study in Tasmania and the Brisbane Adolescent Twin Study underwent complete ophth...

Fractures of the head of the radius with displacement are relatively uncommon in children. During six years, 450 cases of fracture of the radial head have been treated at the Birmingham Accident Hospital. Of these eighty were in patients under the age of eighteen years ; but when cases of fissure fracture and greenstick fracture with minimal deformity were excluded (together with one or two cas...

The caliber of the retinal vessels has been shown to be associated with stroke events. However, the consistency and magnitude of association, and the changes in predicted risk independent of traditional risk factors, are unclear. To determine the association between retinal vessel caliber and the risk of stroke events, the investigators combined individual data from 20,798 people, who were free...
