This study describes the injuries, complications, functional limitations, and rehabilitative needs of amputees managed at Walter Reed Army Medical Center during the Persian Gulf conflict (1991). Fourteen amputees were treated sustaining 21 amputations with 18 lower-limb and 3 upper-limb amputations. In six casualties there were multiple amputations. Battle injuries were the cause in 79%. Nerve ...

Cyclists are prone to a number of sport-related musculoskeletal injuries, mainly of the lower limb. Nerve compression injuries are relatively rare, though in the hand ulnar nerve compression is well described. We describe a case of bilateral median nerve compression caused by cycling.

Scapulo-thoracic dissociation is an infrequent injury resulting from high energy trauma which is often associated with severe neurological and vascular injuries which may be unrecognised at the time of presentation. A 24 year-old female presented with bilateral rib fractures, pneumothorax, liver and kidney injuries following a road traffic accident. She also sustained fractures of her right sca...

Arthrodesis is a surgical procedure that results in fusion of the joint and bony ankylosis. With this operation, we can achieve satisfactory function of the limb in cases in which options for different treatments no longer exist. Severe joint destruction, joint infections, and nonunions, as well as complex war injuries (with large bone and soft tissue defects), are indications for arthrodesis. ...

background and aim: motor vehicle accidents are common cause of mortality, morbidity and disability. human factors are principle cause for frequency of motor vehicle accident. in most studies, 52-40% lower limb injuries are trauma from a motorcycle accident. these accidents cause high financial cost and harm for society. materials and methods: in this study, patients with lower limb injuries re...

BACKGROUND Although uncommon in children, traumatic vascular injuries have the potential for lifelong disability. We reviewed these injuries, their acute management, and early outcomes at a Level I trauma center. METHODS Retrospective review of patients identified through trauma registry was query of all noniatrogenic vascular injuries in a pediatric population during a 13-year period. Demogr...

Background: Trail running is characterised by large elevation gains/losses and varying uneven surfaces. Limited literature available to help guide injury prevention strategies among trail runners. The purpose of this study was determine the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, related risk factors for running-related injuries (RRIs) amid runners who entered 2021 Mac Ultra races. Methods: Des...

Every week, thousands of civilians in India suffer accidental injury; every week hundreds of fractures and dislocations are sustained, and hundreds of soft-tissue injuries are suffered, including infections of the hand, burns, tendon and nerve injuries. What proportion of these civilian victims will carry to their grave a shortened limb or a crippling deformity ? How can we reduce this number ?...

Objectives—To assess the available evidence for preventive strategies for lower limb soft tissue injuries caused by running. Methods—An electronic database search was conducted using The Cochrane Musculoskeletal Injuries Group Specialised Register, The Cochrane Controlled Trials Register, Medline, Embase, Sport Discus, Heracles, Atlantes, Biosis, Cinahl, Scisearch, Current

We proposed and implemented a system based on fuzzy logic Toolbox. designed such to measure the strength of upper limb elbow tennis player. have tried predict injuries movements for sports player, For that we used Triangle Trapezoidal membership function better prediction strength. selected Two input parameters Elbow Flexion Angle Torque in development using toolbox Matlab. considered these two...
