Recently, we showed that most migraine patients exhibit cutaneous allodynia inside and outside their pain-referred areas when examined during a fully developed migraine attack. In this report, we studied the way in which cutaneous allodynia develops by measuring the pain thresholds in the head and forearms bilaterally at several time points during a migraine attack in a 42-year-old male. Prior ...

Ganglion cysts commonly occur around the shoulder, mostly in the spinoglenoid and suprascapular notches. We report a very rare case of intra articular Ganglion cyst of the long head of the biceps tendon that originated from the bicipital groove as a rare cause of shoulder pain.

BACKGROUND The aspiration of the accompanying haematoma by Mason type I radial head fractures is advocated by several authors to achieve an analgesic effect. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of haematoma aspiration on intra-articular pressure and on pain relief after Mason I radial head fractures. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 16 patients (10 men and six women, age 2...

Abstract Background Treatment of post-traumatic osteochondral defects in the radiocarpal and distal radioulnar joint with nonvascularized metatarsal articular bone grafting is an option to restore (cartilage) surface wrist function. Purpose To evaluate clinical midterm results 10 consecutive patients who were treated a graft for cartilage lunate facet, scaphoid sigmoid notch, or radial part uln...

The treatment of a chronic posterior dislocation of the shoulder is often determined by the size of the associated impression fracture of the humeral head. Our hypothesis was that patients with a chronic unreduced posterior dislocation of the shoulder and a defect in the humeral head involving between 25% to 50% of the articular surface, would do better if reconstructed with an allograft from t...
