statistically and found to be of little value in reliably determining the presence or absence of DVT. The differential diagnosis for leg pain and swelling includes lymphedema, chronic venous insufficiency, infection (cellulitis), aneurysm, pseudoaneurysm, Baker cyst, and other musculoskeletal causes. Diagnosis of DVT depends on the clinician’s pretest probability assessment and a combination of...

STUDY OBJECTIVE Compression ultrasonography of the lower extremity is an established method of detecting proximal lower extremity deep venous thrombosis when performed by a certified operator in a vascular laboratory. Our objective is to determine the sensitivity and specificity of bedside 2-point compression ultrasonography performed in the emergency department (ED) with portable vascular ultr...

There has been a decrease in the overall injury rate, particularly the rate of lower-extremity injuries, for alpine skiing, with a resultant increase in the ratio of upper-extremity to lower-extremity injuries. The upper extremity is injured nearly twice as often during snowboarding than alpine skiing, with approximately half of all snowboarding injuries involving the upper extremity. Shoulder ...

BACKGROUND Adventitial cystic disease (ACD) is an unusual arteriopathy; case reports and small series constitute the available literature regarding treatment. We sought to examine the presentation, contemporary management, and long-term outcomes using a multi-institutional database.
