Wrist arthroscopy is a successful tool to diagnose and treat several intra-articular wrist pathologies. To assess the stability integrity of triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC), most commonly injured structure in ulnocarpal compartment, trampoline hook tests are frequently used daily practice. However, their arthroscopic performance measures have not been well elucidated date. While test m...

Lesions of the triangular fibrocartilage complex of the wrist (TFCC) have perfectly been dismembered by Andrew Palmer and have largely benefited from progress of arthroscopy of the wrist. One distinguishes thus traumatic lesions (class 1) individualized according to their localization, central (1-A), ulnar (1-B), radial (1-D) or distal (1-C). Central lesions are classically associated to a posi...

We have developed and continue to enhance automated intelligent software that performs the tasks and decision making which now occurs by the personnel manning watch stations in the Combat Direction Center (CDC) and Task Force Combat Center (TFCC), on-board aircraft carriers and other Navy ships. Integrating information from various sources in a combat station is a complex task; disparate source...

UNLABELLED This study retrospectively evaluated the medical records and radiographs of patients younger than aged 25 that were referred for a second opinion due to ulnar-sided wrist pain and persistent distal radio-ulnar (DRU) joint instability. We identified 85 patients with a major wrist trauma before the age of 18. Median age at trauma was 14 years. Median time between trauma and diagnosis o...

The aim of the study was to compare the radiological findings of wrist arthrogram with wrist arthroscopy. This allowed us to establish the accuracy (sensitivity, specificity) of MRI arthrogram as a diagnostic tool. Thirty patients (20 female and 10 male) have undergone both wrist MRI arthrogram and wrist arthroscopy over the last 3 years at a District General Hospital. The mean age at arthrogra...

Background Complete dislocation of the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) is a rare injury. Dislocation can present as uni- or multidirectional, acute or chronic, reducible or irreducible. It can occur due to isolated loss of ligamentous restraints or more frequent in Galeazzi - or Essex-Lopresti-type fractures. Case Description A 28-year-old man sustained a distal radius fracture and presented aft...
