It is generally accepted that an accurate anatomical reconstruction of the hand/wrist joint is a basis for optimal outcome in reconstructive wrist surgery. The reported complication rate for reconstruction surgery of the wrist based on postoperative radiological results can be up to 23% [1 4]. Conventional C-arm fluoroscopy for hand surgery frequently fails to reveal suboptimal positioning of i...

a jam tiee sixteen days ago and hurt himself I found both ulna and radius of the left arm protruding to the extent of two inches through a sloughing wound on the back of the forearm just above the wrist-joint. The radius was broken transversely about % of an inch above the wrist-joint, and the ulna obliquely in the same situation. The tendons of the back of the arm, in the si'uation of the woun...

Though Colles' fracture is a common injury its complications and their treatment are seldom dealt with in surgical papers. In this paper it is proposed to discuss the following complications: I. Redisplacement. 2. Mal-union. 3. Laxity of the inferior radio-ulnar joint. 4. Joint stiffness and adhesions. 5. Traumatic arthritis of the wrist joint. 6. Pain over the ulnar aspect of the wrist. 7.

Javed et al’s guide to the management of elbow pain1 is disappointing on several fronts including its support for the myth that only tennis players get tennis elbow,2 but especially in its description of the clinical signs of this condition and golfer’s elbow. The essence of examining a joint is to distinguish between conditions of the joint proper and those of the muscle and tendons that move ...

Some mal-alignment of the wrist occurs in up to 71% of patients following a distal radius fracture. A multiple case study was used to provide proof of principle of an image-based technique to investigate the evolution and impact of post-traumatic joint changes at the distal radioulnar joint. Participants who had a unilateral distal radius fracture who previously participated in a prospective st...

Cliical and histopathologic features were remiewed and analized on twelve patients with bone and joint tuberculosis. The ages of the of the patients ranged from 19 to 73 years with an average of 46 years, Six patients were male and six were female. Sites were were as follows; radius; one, wrist joint; one, finger joint; one, major trochanter two, knee joint; three, tibia and wrist joint; 1, and...

The goal of this study was to investigate the control strategy employed by gymnasts in maintaining a hand balance. It was hypothesized that a "wrist strategy" was used in which perturbations in the sagittal plane were corrected using variations in wrist flexor torque with synergistic shoulder and hip torques acting to preserve a fixed body configuration. A theoretical model of wrist strategy in...

OBJECTIVE This study examined the effect of commonly used long and short styles of commercially produced wrist extension orthoses on the activity of the proximal muscles of the shoulder and elbow and on wrist flexor and extensor muscle activity. METHOD While 17 women between 22 and 40 years of age (M = 26.6) performed a specified movement wearing each of the two styles of orthosis and without...

Human Joint paints exhibit abnormal motion and vise versa during movements. Most of the patients were suffering from joint paints. This joint paints like Hip joints, Knee joints, Foot joints, Shoulder joints Elbow joints, and Wrist joints. Patients suffering from joint disorders visit a therapist. The therapist must correlate all these information sources regarding joint Problems. Most probable...

Determination of the age of an individual from the appearance and the fusion of the ossification centers is considered a reasonable well accepted method in the field of medical and legal professions. The challenges encountered while determining the age of a bone vary from place to place depending on the geographic terrain, climatic, dietetic, hereditary, disease & other factors. Therefore aim o...
