Rotatory subluxation of the scaphoid is a well known lesion that is relatively common and results in instability of the wrist. It has been well accepted that because of the subluxation of the scaphoid, degenerative changes in the wrist may develop rapidly, and for that reason correction of the subluxation in its early stages is indicated. Over the past thirteen years, many cases of rotatory sub...

20-year-old motorcyclist sustained a complete T3–T4 fracture–dislo-cation that resulted in paraplegia. Radiographs of the thoracic spine showed 20% left lateral translation at T3–T4 (Fig. 1A). CT showed an " empty " right facet and an avulsion of the anteroinferior corner of the T3 vertebra (Fig. 1B). Coronal CT reformations showed a lateral dislocation at T3–T4 (Fig. 1C). Traumatic lateral tra...

conclusions the treatment of symptomatic ecu instability is still controversial, especially for acute dislocations. depending on the type of injury many surgical techniques have been proposed. combination of direct repair of the tendon’s subsheath and reinforcement with an extensor retinaculum graft is a reliable option. introduction dislocation/subluxation of the extensor carpi ulnaris (ecu) t...

Neck involvement in cases of rheumatoid arthritis is extremely common, and the radiological features have been investigated by several authors, particularly Martel (1961, 1964), Bland, Davis, London, Van Buskirk, and Duarte(1963), Serre, Simon, Janicot, and Levy (1964) and Conlon, Isdale, and Rose (1966). The features most characteristic are atlanto-axial subluxation, serial subluxation, and di...

Subluxation syndrome is a legitimate, potentially testable, theoretical construct for which there is little experimental evidence. Acceptable as hypothesis, the widespread assertion of the clinical meaningfulness of this notion brings ridicule from the scientific and health care communities and confusion within the chiropractic profession. We believe that an evidence-orientation among chiroprac...

The three rotations and three translations that comprise total knee motion were simultaneously measured in cadaveric knees during the commonly employed clinical tests for anterior cruciate injury. A second study determined the three-dimensional motions that occurred when known forces and moments were applied. A total of eight whole lower limbs were studied. A 6 degree-of-freedom instrumented li...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE There is disagreement in the literature about the importance of patellofemoral joint degeneration and knee pain for the outcome of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). We therefore investigated the importance of selected predictors including patellofemoral joint degeneration and the location of preoperative knee pain for the early outcome of UKA. PATIENTS AND METHO...

OBJECTIVE The management of terrible triad injuries has evolved over the last 2 decades to include routine radial head fixation or replacement, reattachment of the lateral collateral ligament, with or without coronoid fixation. Our objective was to determine the likelihood of and factors associated with subluxation or dislocation after operative treatment of terrible triad injuries among a larg...

OBJECTIVE To study the occurrence of shoulder subluxation, shoulder pain in stroke patients and identify factors associated to these conditions during rehabilitation period. MATERIAL AND METHOD Stroke patients from 9 rehabilitation centers from March to December 2006 were enrolled in the present study. All subjects were registered for demographic data including risk factors and type of stroke...
