OBJECTIVE The senior author previously reported a case of rupture of the flexor policis longus tendon after volar plating of a distal radius fracture. We hypothesized that restoration of the pronator quadratus to its native position after plating might prevent this problem. METHODS The authors report a new case of irritation of the flexor policis longus 2.5 years after volar plating of a dist...

Using a volar approach to avoid the soft tissue problems associated with dorsal plating, we treated a consecutive series of 29 patients with 31 dorsally displaced, unstable distal radial fractures with a new fixed-angle internal fixation device. At a minimal follow-up time of 12 months the fractures had healed with highly satisfactory radiographic and functional results. The final volar tilt av...

Studies of primate taxonomy and phylogeny often depend on comparisons of limb dimensions, yet there is little information on how morphology correlates and contributes to foraging strategies and ecology. Callitrichid primates are ideal for comparative studies as they exhibit a range of body size, limb proportions and diet. Many callitrichid species exhibit a high degree of exudativory, and to ef...

Aim To evaluate the functional and radiological results of treating unstable volar Barton's fractures of the distal radius with the T-buttress plate. Methods: This was a retrospective study at orthopedic complex in Bahawal Victoria Hospital from January 2009 to August 2010. We used open reduction and internal fixation with a 3.5mmT-buttress plates in volarly displaced, intraarticular fractures ...

The mechanism of injury in dorsal dislocations is usually PIP joint hyperextension combined with some degree of longitudinal compression, which frequently occurs in ball-handling sports if the tip of the digit is hit with the ball. In the majority of cases, dorsal dislocation produces a soft tissue or bone injury to the distal insertions of the three-dimensional ligament-box complex. The greate...

Lunate dislocations are well described in the volar direction as part of the perilunate dislocation, sometimes together with fractures of the other carpal bones or distal radius, as described by the anatomical studies of Mayfield [1]. It is a result of disruption of the complex inter-carpal and radiocarpal ligaments that hold the well conforming carpus in their normal position. Given the streng...

Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a skin disease accompanied by an inflammatory reaction influenced heredity and environment. commonly occurs in infants children. Overcoming dryness of the important strategy management AD. One way using moisturizer (emollient) to increase barrier function. This study aimed compare degree hydration based on moisturizing time children with AD, immediately aft...

We report the case of a complete rupture of flexor pollicis longus tendon in a 30-year old-man 10 years after open reduction and internal fixation of a distal radius fracture with a volar buttress plate.

We report a case of flexor pollicis longus and flexor digitorum profundus(II) laceration as a result of the severe tenosynovitis after volar locking plate fixation of distal radius fracture.

A case of locked hypersupination of the distal radio-ulnar joint is described in which the ulnar displacement was purely rotational rather than volar. The mechanism of injury is discussed in the light of cadaveric dissections which reproduced the injury.
