A number of studies over the last few decades have established that the control strategy employed by the nervous system during lengthening (eccentric) differs from those used during shortening (concentric) and isometric contractions. The purpose of this review is to summarize current knowledge on the neural control of lengthening contractions. After a brief discussion of methodological issues t...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to measure the efficacy of a single 60 min application of capsaicin 8% patch in reducing chronic amputation stump and phantom limb pain, associated hypersensitivity with quantitative sensory testing, and changes in brain cortical maps using functional MRI (fMRI) scans. METHODS A capsaicin 8% patch (Qutenza) treatment study was conducted on 14 patients with si...

The Sauvé–Kapandji procedure is an established treatment option for distal radioulnar joint dysfunction. We retrospectively analysed 36 patients following between 1997 and 2013. Fifteen were available a follow-up after mean of 13 years (range 6 to 23). Six needed revision surgery because ulnar stump instability. Radiographs sonography performed quantify the instability proximal stump. These sho...

Knee anomalies are common in patients with congenital short femurs who require lengthening to correct limb-length discrepancies. We retrospectively reviewed the incidence of knee arthritis and the factors influencing its occurrence after femoral lengthening using the Wagner method. Twenty-three patients with congenital short femurs treated with the Wagner method were followed up until skeletal ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Bilateral tibial lengthening has become one of the standard treatments for upper segment-lower segment disproportion and to improve quality of life in achondroplasia. We determined the effect of tibial lengthening on the tibial physis and compared tibial growth that occurred at the physis with that in non-operated patients with achondroplasia. METHODS We performed a ret...
