93 RADIOLOGIC TECHNOLOGY November/December 2005, Vol. 77/No. 2 Dan L. Hobbs, M.S.R.S., R.T.(R)(CT)(MR), is an assistant professor in the department of radiographic science at Idaho State University in Pocatello. The elbow is frequently involved in trauma and is 1 of the most commonly radiographed joints in emergency departments. Often, the trauma results from a fall on an outstretched hand and ...

PURPOSE To report outcomes in 6 patients with the terrible triad of the elbow treated with our modified protocol. METHODS 6 men aged 26 to 54 years underwent surgery for the terrible triad of the elbow by a single surgeon. All the patients had a displaced comminuted fracture of the radius, posterior dislocation of the elbow, and Morrey type-I fracture of the coronoid. They all underwent repla...

1. Arm movements toward a target involving motion at the shoulder and elbow joints and restricted to the sagittal plane were investigated. During some movements, target location changed suddenly, thus requiring an intentional correction of the trajectory by the human subject. 2. The reaction time to correct the trajectory was comparable to the reaction time to initiate the movement. 3. Coordina...

PURPOSE To review the outcome of 9 adolescents treated with 2 to 3 cannulated cancellous screws for type-1 capitellum fractures. METHODS Records of 8 boys and one girl aged 12 to 14 (mean, 14) years with type-1 capitellum fractures were reviewed. The mechanism of injury was a fall on the flexed elbow. No patient had associated injuries or neurovascular compromise. In 2 patients, the fracture ...

INTRODUCTION The elbow is a complex joint involving many articulations and complex biomechanics come into play. Elbow motion is crucial to upper limb movement that loss of 50% of elbow function equals to loss of 80% of upper extremity global function. Restoring movement and stability is challenging to the surgeon while treating a stiff elbow. Unlike other arthroplasties of hip and knee, total e...

Background: Lateral meniscal tears are often seen with acute anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and may be left in situ, repaired, or treated with meniscectomy. Clinical studies have shown good outcomes with vertical tears left in situ and poor outcomes following meniscectomy. However, clinically relevant studies are needed to establish a biomechanical foundation for treatment of these tea...

Introduction: Biceps brachii muscle is one of the powerful muscles in anterior compartment arm. It supplied by musculocutaneous nerve. Normally, takes origin two heads: long head and short head. Sometimes it as supernumerary heads. inserts on posterior part radial tuberosity radius bone. maintains stability shoulder joint. crosses joints: elbow Case report: In present study, we found variation ...
