background: although giant cell tumor (gct) is considered to be a primary benign bone tumor, its aggressive behavior makes its diagnosis and treatment, difficult and challenging. this is especially true in distal radius where gct appears to be more aggressive and difficult to control locally. we report our clinical outcome of en-block resection and reconstruction with non-vascularized fibular a...

background: trans-scaphoid perilunate fracture-dislocation and perilunate dislocations are among uncommon injuries, most commonly seen in young patients due to high energy trauma. the treatment can be achieved either surgically by open reduc tion and internal fixation or closed reduction and casting.   methods: to compare surgical versus non-operative results of treatment of trans-scaphoid peri...

The study aims to evaluate the treatment results of perilunate dislocations treated with open reduction and scapholunate ligament (SLL) repair. showed that majority patients had no pain wrist function was restored well. After surgery, (29 out 32) relief from pain. average motion 77.93o extensions, 73.69o flexions, mean grip strength 41.35±5.15 kg. which 93.56% normal side. There 26 excellent, 1...

The authors report their experience with the Sauvé-Kapandji procedure for the management of posttraumatic disorders of the distal radioulnar joint in 9 younger and active patients. The mean age of our series was 37 years. We operated patients for whom pain in the distal radioulnar joint was more relieved by usual analgesic medical treatment, and those with a limitation of wrist movements. Until...

PURPOSE To analyze the functional and radiologic results after Destot arthroplasty, a wrist prosthesis designed for posttraumatic arthritis, and to define the indications for the use of the implant. METHODS Using the Meuli point score system, 28 Destot total-wrist arthroplasties in 25 patients with stage 2 or 3 scaphoid nonunion advanced collapse and scapholunate advanced collapse were evalua...

MR imaging of the wrist frequently represents a diagnostic challenge for radiologists because of the complex anatomy of this joint, small size of its components, and little known pathologic conditions. MR arthrography combines the advantages of conventional MR imaging and arthrography by improving the visualization of small intra-articular abnormalities. This article reviews the current role of...

OBJECTIVE To compare magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), conventional radiography, and ultrasonography in identifying bone erosions in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), and to determine the validity and reliability of an MRI scale in detecting and grading joint damage. METHODS In 26 JIA patients, the clinically more affected wrist was studied with MRI, radiography, and ultrason...

In this short paper we present an accuracy analysis of the new Kinect V2 depth sensor solely used as a pointing device based on 3D joint positions of the user’s arm. Computation of the pointing vector has been done in two ways. First calculated from elbow and wrist position and then from shoulder and wrist position. Based on the evaluation of Fitts’ Law we have examined the sensor capabilities ...

BACKGROUND The effect of using robots to improve motor recovery has received increased attention, even though the most effective protocol remains a topic of study. OBJECTIVE . The objective was to compare the training effects of treatments on the wrist joint of subjects with chronic stroke with an interactive rehabilitation robot and a robot with continuous passive motion. METHODS . This st...
