BACKGROUND Laceration of the hand extensor tendons is common in the upper extremities, causing soft tissue trauma. These tendons, because of their superficial location and lying adjacent to bones, have a greater tendency to be injured than flexor tendons. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine the results of primary repairs of lacerated extensor tendons of the fingers, with respect...

Mineralization along continental suture zones is facilitated through the frequent presence of pathways from fertile mantle source regions to crustal repositories. Due their inherent rheological weakness, these are often concealed, which hinders surface-based observations. Here, we use zircon U-Pb and sericite 40Ar/39Ar dating, whole-rock geochemical data, investigate crystallization mineralizat...

BACKGROUND Recent data suggest that inaccurate suture passage during remplissage may contribute to a loss of external rotation, with the potential to cause posterior shoulder pain because of the proximity to the musculotendinous junction. PURPOSE To evaluate the accuracy of suture passage during remplissage and identify surface landmarks to improve accuracy. STUDY DESIGN Descriptive laborat...

The pre-Alpine evolution of the Tethyan domains between Gondwana and Laurasia, in particular that Cimmerian continental blocks, remains poorly constrained. Central Iran is a key area to constrain closure Paleotethys collision Laurasia with blocks drifted from Gondwana. present study provides combined metamorphic geochronologic approach focused on two areas Iran: Kashmar-Kerman Tectonic Zone (KK...

Abstract Aim The aims of this study were to compare and measure the amount 4.0 Prolene suture material at tendon repair site with 2 types knot placement in a modified Kessler technique, as can impact extensor healing. Method Thirty-two tendons fresh frozen cadaveric hands divided repaired using technique either intratendinous or extratendinous suture. Tendon repairs sectioned, cross-sectional p...

The surgical techniques applied to recurrent anterior dislocation of the shoulder, especially in hard working patients, must reconstruct a stable shoulder joint with a good range of motion, which will not re-dislocate, so the patients can return to their hardworking duties. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of open Bankart repairs with suture anchors, in high-demand sportsmen an...
