BACKGROUND We investigated the efficacy of annular ligament reconstruction by suture anchor in the treatment of radial head dislocation (RHD) in children. METHOD A total of 20 RHD children nderwent annular ligament reconstruction surgery using suture anchor. Preoperative and postoperative elbow functions were evaluated according to Broberg and Morrey 100-point scale. Recovery of radial nerve ...

This study investigates the relative effect of soft tissue properties on the overall response of a human spinal motion segment using an osseo-ligamentous FE model of the Visible Man L3-L4 intervertebral joint. Model geometry was obtained from the Visible Man CT dataset using custom built image processing software. Non-linear soft tissue properties were obtained from the literature. Displacement...

BACKGROUND To report an unusual case of annular pigment band on the posterior capsule following blunt ocular trauma. CASE PRESENTATION We describe an annular pigment band on the posterior capsule following blunt ocular trauma in a 28-year old male patient. Repeat examinations revealed no evidence of other signs of blunt ocular trauma or pigment dispersion syndrome in either eye. CONCLUSION ...

There is a paucity of information in the literature regarding the quadrate ligament and the information that does exist is extremely conflicting. We dissected 30 cadavers (60 sides) to determine the morphology and function of this enigmatic ligament. A quadrate ligament (thickening of the elbow joint capsule) was found in all specimens. In all specimens this band was distinct from the circumfer...

We present a case of patient with an incidental finding isolated radial head osteochondroma. This progressively enlarged to become symptomatic causing gradual subluxation the radio-capitellar joint. Marginal excision and annular ligament reconstruction was performed using forearm fascia graft. The made full recovery symptom resolution preservation range movement. He successfully returned physic...

The results of operation for traumatic anterior dislocation of the head of the radius in eight children have been reviewed. We are satisfied on the basis of the results obtained and the outcome in one untreated patient that operative reduction is fully justified, provided that the annular ligament is reconstructed and internal fixation employed. We have not seen unilateral congenital dislocatio...

INTRODUCTION Dislocation of the radial head, congenital or traumatic, anteriorly, posteriorly or laterally displaced, requires surgery to reseat and stabilize the head of the radius within the joint, in order to restore elbow flexion and, as much as possible, pronation-supination. SCOPE This article is meant to present the technique of proximal radial-ulnar ligament plasty using the extensor ...

Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common root canal pathology. The surgical treatment corresponds to a release of median nerve by incision anterior annular ligament carpus open or endoscopy. Knowledge normal anatomy and anatomical variations at wrist fundamental avoiding complications in carpal syndrome. Through this work we will show interest knowledge as well its order derive main clinical a...

Round window (RW) stimulation is a new type of middle ear implant's application for treating patients with middle ear disease, such as otosclerosis. However, clinical outcomes show a substantial degree of variability. One source of variability is the variation in the material properties of the ear components caused by the disease. To investigate the influence of the otosclerosis on the performa...
